We went for the 3rd ultrasound scan yesterday morning. This time the doctor had to show us our Baby through ultrasound scan part by part, as Baby has grown bigger.
Firstly, she measured the diameter of Baby's head, which is now 4.32cm. Then, she showed us the leg and measured the length of the thigh bone (Femoral Length, FL). Next she showed us the body, and we can see very clearly the spine & heart pumping.
The doctor told us Baby's weight is now 223g and the ultrasound scan age is 18 weeks. The estimated due date will be on 8th June this year.
I was puzzled because it was supposed to be Week 17 following previous scan. Does that mean Baby's size is bigger by 1 week?
I later found out that it is ok if the ultrasound scan age is different from the actual age by less than 2 weeks. Different babies have different growth rate, so there is an acceptable tolerance.
Week: 17(gestational age) or 18 (ultrasound scan age)
Biparietal Diameter (BPD): 4.32cm
Femoral Length (FL): 2.45cm
Trunk Cross-Sectional Area (FTA): 13.42cm square
Estimated Fetal Weight (EFW): 223g
As for my pregnancy symptoms, my bump is getting bigger nowadays. More colleagues have noticed and have been asking whether I am pregnant. I am starting to be able to accept white rice. Craved for burger & satay for the past two nights. Always feel hungry in the middle of the night, so I will always take a bite before I sleep.
Dear Baby,
Good night & sleep tight. Muacks <3

Happy New Year 2012
Started the first day of the new year with a bowl of liver soup with Foochow Kampua noodle at 3rd mile. Just had my hemoglobin checked last week and the nurse jotted 10.4 with a red pen, which is way below standard (at least >11). Redsponge had given me her advice, as a mother of 2 (and her hemoglobin ranges from 12~14!!), to eat food rich in iron especially liver. So, early morning sandbox drove me to get a boost in iron. Hope it works for me.
We went to sandbox's colleague, Mr Sim's house for lunch. His wife is a Filipino, and real good in cooking. They served stuffed turkey, ham, and a lot of local delicacies from Philippine.
In the afternoon, mum & I started our CNY cookies making. We managed to make 285 pcs of Melting Moment cookies (aka Kuih Mo-mo). 100 pcs for us, 115 pcs for sandbox's family & 70 pcs for my colleague Jane.
Sandbox brought me to Simplicious for dinner. It is the first time we dine at this newly opened restaurant & lounge near the place we stay. The food was not bad, we liked the Iced Mocha very much. The decorations & environment added up a lot of marks, especially the waiters & waitress are very friendly. We really enjoyed our New Year dinner.
As for my new year resolution, is to deliver a healthy & happy baby =p
