Week 20 Current Food Craves: Non Weight: 101.6lbs Complains: Non
I guess its time to officially announce baby beanie's name to be! We had his name since after the 12th week scan but we wanted to wait till the 20th week scan to confirm his gender to finalise his name since many of our friends mentioned that at 12 weeks, the sonographer may not be able to see the gender correctly...
And so here were the names we shortlisted during the brainstorming process: 1) Julian Darius 2) Dedric 3) Dylan 4) Liam Stefan
But in the end, we've gotten:
Caleb Lucas Ang
Pronounced as: "K-lerb, Loo-kas"
Caleb- A faithful dog/companion, is also bold. In the Bible Caleb and Joshua were the only 2 spies that had the bold faith to believe that God will give them the land filled with giants. With the odds stacked against them, Joshua and Caleb remained faithful to God's word. I pray our Caleb owns up to the meaning of his name, that he is faithful to God and bold in living his life for God.
Though many might have think that, "huh meaning of a dog???" but when you reverse spell the word "dog" what does it turn out to be?- "God" And you know how much our family loves dogs so when we chance upon the meaning we were like, OMG that's so meant to be. The qualities, loyal companion, big hearted... It's definitely a name great for a little boy and for a man to be! Though Jason and I do not attend church regularly, it's definitely gonna be a good name if he decides to become religious.
Lucas- Light or bearer of the light. Lucas is definitely going to bring light into our lives...
Now all we have to do is to come up with Chinese names... grrr so difficult, Mummy did ask daddy if we can skip the Chinese name part and he said, "no la, we are chinese so should have a chinese name..." hmmm ok. Connie send me the number to this Yu Rong Zi guy in Singapore, guess shall ask Yi Yi Caihong to give a call for us! Shall update once his chinese name is out!
Other Updates:
So far baby Caleb's kicks has been really gentle and he has been moving around in mummy's tummy alot and it still takes a bit of getting used too! Daddy finds his kicks really amazing!
Mummy's backache is totally gone after 2 Chiropractor visits and numerous Yoga lessons! Totally amazing how these 2 works to help mummy and her backache. Shall continue to attend the lessons not only to strengthen the back but also to learn to breathe properly and be all well and mighty in preparation for the birthing process! Gonna try to go without the epidural so... kinda scary but yet exciting. Hopefully by the time mummy screams for the epidural, Dr James will have say, "Honey, I'm sorry but its too late for epidural!" Haha...
2 weeks ago, we went shopping at arrowhead mall and when we passed by "Pumpkin Patch" there was a bit of sale going on, 1 top at less than USD$10. And so we decided to get some little clothes for baby Caleb to wear. Here it is!
Daddy and mummy just can't get enough of all these cutsey baby boy clothes!
And here's a pic of daddy folding baby Caleb's clothes into the Sterilite containers. We didn't buy any drawer space for Baby Caleb since we won't be staying here for long anywayz... See domesticated daddy, so sweet!!!
