7 Months

My seventh months started with a "blast".

I contracted dengue fever and was hospitalised for 7 nights at PCMC.

It was a terrifying experience for both of our families because the virus can cause.. err.. many bad things to me and our baby. Google it please, I don't want to write it here or to even remember the anxiety it caused us that week. Huhu..

Okay, stop on the negative memories and let me share some nice ones :)

Well, you know that at this stage of pregnancy I have to monitor my baby movement frequently right? So, one day this worried mummy-to-be felt that the baby did not move for the whole night. I tried to play surah and songs from my phone near my tummy, but he did not kick even once. His daddy also tried to make small talk with my tummy but our baby still continue his silence :(

Hmm.. So, I drink ice cold water first thing in the morning to induce my baby movement. After that, he kicked me for the whole day. Hehe.. sorry baby :P

Dear baby, I wish you can read this but this is the only time you are allowed to kick me more than 10 times a day. Kalau dah keluar nanti.. if sengaja tendang2 mummy, memang mummy ketil :P

.. and I lose 3kgs after the dengue. But, worry not because our baby gained 200g in that week! Hehe.. so, my total weight gain is only 5kg. Yay!

What else? Our baby is now around 1.2kg and our gynae said that he is growing well, right on track even though his mummy was sick for the whole week. Another yay!

Baby, I love you so much and can't wait to see you in another 10 weeks :D
