Week 21 Current Food Craves: Sweet stuff and whatever I can lay my hands on! Weight: 103.6lb Complains: Same old rashes and a bit of urinary incontinence whenever I cough or sneeze too hard! Super loads of pee pee at night but still loves drinking water!
I realise last week at Week 20th which is another milestone, me hitting my 5th month that I forgot to post the picture of babybump! And so here it is! Alas, I'm unable to fit into my pink "Purrfect" tee shirt anymore and so the comparison may be a bit more difficult still you can really see the ridge!
Caleb has been kicking everyday which we thank god for... And still gentle but more frequent! Everytime before we sleep and after meals when I'm just lying on the sofa, mummy will feel all the flutters and kicks! One time, daddy and mummy decide to just observe the tummy instead of feeling it... And you can see the flutters on mummy's tummy looking like a litle drum being hit when baby Caleb kicks! Haha... Very funny! Trying to video the kicks isn't very easy. I guess later towards the last trimester when I roughly know when his kicks are then I shall try to video it down...
Last weekend, daddy and mummy made our way down to Ikea and bought a little changing table for baby Caleb! It cost only $39USD but we think it is sufficient to put all his stuff under the changing table, like the wipees and diapees, the baby powder, umbillical cleaning cotton, solution and etc. And anywayz we won't be bringing the table back to Singapore so we didn't want to invest in a changing table. Afraid our tiny little place back in Singapore won't have any space for his table... Hehe...
And here it is! :) Daddy can't wait to set up the changing table and all but mummy stopped him cause there are still so many more months to go and its going to collect dust! We also bought a little night light so that we can switch it on during bedtime and it will be easier for us to wake up and change or feed him whenever needed!
Mummy's backache really getting very well with the frequent twice a week Wed and Sat Yoga lessons! The stretches definitely help to strengthen the back very well... Still can't handle the weight very well though, been losing balance all the time and have to walk really carefully. Guess I'm still feel clumsy putting on all this weight!
Alright shall update again next week then! Time is passing very fast and really scary. And very soon we are gonna see Caleb! Till then... XOXO Mummy, Daddy and Caleb

About Me
My Estimated Date Of Arrival: 12th Jan 2009
My Delivery Doc: Dr James Johnson

About My Name 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...
