Weight-120Lbs Pregnancy Symptoms- Getting so used to them, i am no longer feeling them much! :) Oh but there's one thing I realise, the chinese saying, that if you don't listen to the wise old folks, you will be the who suffer the next time! Anyway I've been having real back aches... such bad pain that I had to see the chiropractor and get massages every week. And darling had to give me massages every night as well! So my mum had long long ago told me not to drink ice cold drinks, which I have everyday the entire summer! I decided to stop and take warm water or hot water most of the time now and indeed the backaches have more or less stopped! At least its not as painful as last time! You think it really works or is it just me? Hmmm... but I did try to drink a glass of ice cold water just the other to see if its for real and I did get a bad backache! Maybe its psychological I am not sure... Still I'm going to take all these advices with a pinch of salt... Hehe... Let's see which ones I'm going to go for!
So back to baby Caleb! We went for our long waited 3D/4D scan today for our 2nd year wedding anniversary and 4 years since we knew each other gift! The scan was super amazing! By the way, the sonographer turned out to be my Yoga classmate, Leslie... Haha what a coincidence!
Baby Caleb was really really very cooperative during the scan, he was so alert and his eyes were wide open... Leslie was saying that most babies will be sleeping or have their eyes closed! The package was really worth it. It was $120 but they had 10% off for military personnel and so we only paid $108! We had 20 over minutesworth of time to see baby Caleb and were given a CD with all of baby Caleb's pictures and a DVD of his movements with music at the end of it, I don't really know how to extract the DVD video though so here are just pictures of him to share!
The very first picture of him with his eyes wide open... Darling says Caleb looks like me! He has my nose! The first thing I said when I saw baby Caleb was, "He has such chubby cheeks!" Haha... It seems like he's gonna be a big baby, just like me and Jason when we were babies! Oops... Can you see his open eyes?
Here's a picture of him rubbing the back of his hand against his lips and a few times he even sucked on it! Super cute!
Baby Caleb all annoyed by us poking him with the Ultrasound scope! Giving a little yawn and all prepared to turn away from us!!!
After some nudging from us and me turning my abdomen to the left and right, his face is back again! Now he is trying to suck on his little toes!!! So funny! Aren't babies flexible! I think they are all born little Yogi-s!!!
Finally Baby Caleb giving us a bye bye smile! Its so amazing, it was 24mins by the time he gave us this smile! It seems like he knows its time to say bye bye! Well we are gonna see him really really soon, just another 9 weeks or so... We'll see for sure who he looks like, his eyes, his lips, his ears... but for now, he definitely have his mummy's big big nose! And not forgetting that chubby little cheeks! So cute... We so wanna pinch his puffy cheeks.
Before we end this post, we have to congrats on the arrival of baby Faith, daughter of our friends Jennifer and Jonovan and Troy, cutsey baby of Connie and Eugene!

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...
