Week 28
Tuesday, October 21, 2008
Weight-116.5LBs
My right arm is sore from a flu jab my Ob-Gyn gave. I don't even remember the last time I had a jab! I wonder why they don't do it on your butt since its easier and you need your hands more than a sleepy anaesthetized butt. Told darling about the jab and he asked if I know that I might get a fever from a flu jab, I think one of the side effects and I'm like, "whoo no wonder I'm feeling all fuzzy and warm. Now I'm sitting at my patio enjoying the wonderful cool breeze of the coming winter.
My Ob-Gyn just gave me a card today, to keep track of Caleb's movements. I'm suppose to count once a day only. For example, I felt a kick at 1pm, I should note the start time at 1pm and to count 10 movements that Caleb makes. Once the 10 movements are up, I should write down the time it ends at the 10th count.
Apparently most babies will move 10 times within a 20 min period and if a baby move less that 10 times in a 2 hour period, you should let your gynae know and await further instructions... hmmm.
And so I've made my appointments every fortnight for 1 month. It feels so surreal that we are getting closer to the date of delivery and my dear preggy friends are slowly popping their little buns out. Scary...

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...
