Got A Full Term Baby
Starting this week I’m already 37 weeks pregnant, that means my baby is officially full term now. According to mybaby.com he can arrive at any day, yeay! But I hope he will wait for another week or two as my OB/GYN expect me to carry him inside me at least until I pass week 38.
I got my three months pregnancy leave permission letter yesterday, it will be effective starting Wednesday next week. Means I have about a week left to transfer my work to my coworker and starting today I will not accept any new task 
Here’s what a 37 weeks baby looks like according to mybaby.com:
Congratulations — your baby is full term! This means that if your baby arrives now, his lungs should be fully mature and ready to adjust to life outside the womb, even though your due date is still three weeks away.
Your baby weighs 6 1/3 pounds and measures a bit over 19 inches, head to heel (like a stalk of Swiss chard). Many babies have a full head of hair at birth, with locks from 1/2 inch to 1 1/2 inches long. But don’t be surprised if your baby’s hair isn’t the same color as yours. Dark-haired couples are sometimes thrown for a loop when their children come out as blonds or redheads, and fair-haired couples have been surprised by Elvis look-alikes. And then, of course, some babies sport only peach fuzz.
Pregnancy Update: End of Second Trimester
27 weeks pregnant (source: babycenter.com)
Everything is doing fine both me and the baby. I still go to work everyday and occasionally going on a business trip. The only difference is starting this week I will need to see my doctor before having a business trip because most of the airlines here require a doctor’s letter of permission for a woman who is 28 weeks (or more) pregnant.
I haven’t found out about the baby’s gender yet because on my last check-up to OB/GYN last month the baby’s position was blocking the view. We’ll try again this month to see if the baby will reveal his/her self

Pregnancy Update #1: Second Trimester
I went to my OB/GYN after work today to check on my pregnancy. He said everything’s fine, praise the Lord. However, I was a bit confused when he said that I was on my 14th week or just entering the second trimester. As far as I can remember my last period was January 19th, so this week is supposed to be my 17th week. And I think I told him that. Did he calculate it correctly?
Anyway, I was not really in the mood for asking questions today so I didn’t say anything to my OB/GYN. I’m just be thankful that my baby is fine and I could hear her/his heartbeat so clearly . I didn’t print out the ultra sonogram result since it still hard to see the baby’s form, maybe later when we already can see the baby’s gender I will print it and post it here. By the way, according to the Chinese calendar, it’s gonna be another baby boy. Though we expect a girl since our first child is a boy, we will happily receive whatever God gives us.
I’m going to post about my pregnancy update here from time to time, so I’m able to track down my pregnancy growth. Maybe I need to put a baby ticker widget on my sidebar later.
Will be Offline for Awhile
The baby is getting impatient, he’s already been looking for his way out. I think he’s gonna be out sooner than the schedule.
Thank you everyone for dropping by here, I’ll be offline for a few days preparing for the new family member
