My 25th Birthday

This is the small celebration of my 25th birthday on September 24th. Different from last year now we had a another wishes and expectations : the born of our beloved baby

Preparing the cake

Anyway, I had no plan for my day due to my conditions ( I was not fit enough to go somewhere far from home) so that was why we just decided to have a dinner at one of my favorite vendor near our flat : Pizza Hut

Here is the cake

So I waited for the coming of my husband at that nite. But beyond of my expectations, he came home with something special that I had thought before : My Birthday Cake! I was so surprised!

The birthday wife

Then We postponed the dinner Plan for the day after. So My guy made that special celebration. We sang Happy birthday, I blew the candle after said my wish, prayed together and eat that lovely cake! yummy

I was soo happy at that nite for that surprised. I never thought my hubby would do that lovely things because He is not that kind of a "surprised giver" husband!. hehe..

Blowing the candle

Hmm so about the birthday wish, I just hope that God will guide me to be a better wife, mommy, daughter and friends to everyone, esp those whom I love

Anyway, Thank you Father for all the blessings that we had received, especially for this awesome gift. Please bless this small family, Dwell among Us, so we will never be away from your love. Amen

17 Weeks Pregnancy

Your baby's weight has doubled in two weeks and now weighs about 3.5 ounces! The crown-to-rump length of your growing baby is 4.4 to 4.8 inches. If you spread your hand out opened wide, you can see about how big your baby is.

Your uterus is moving up and is now approximately 1.5 to 2 inches below your navel. You are showing more now and there is a noticeable swelling in your abdomen. At this point in your pregnancy, a 5 to 10 pound weight gain is normal. Other people can probably feel the difference in your lower abdomen if they were to rub your tummy. To be the most comfortable, you should be wearing maternity clothes or clothing that is too large for you. You may have felt your baby move already. However, you might not feel it move every day at this point. As your pregnancy progresses, movements become stronger and more frequent. Feeling your baby move can help reassure you that your baby is doing well. You might also notice that your gums or nose bleed occasionally. This is from the increased blood volume that puts pressure on small blood vessels and capillaries.

Huge changes continue to take place within your developing baby. This week fat begins to form and will continue to do so until he is born. Fat is important to the body's heat production and metabolism. Right now, at 17 weeks, water makes up about 3 ounces and fat 0.018 ounces of your baby's body. In a baby at term, fat makes up about 5.25 pounds of the total average weight of 7.7 pounds. The placenta is continuing to grow at an amazing rate. The placenta will continue to develop in tandem with the fetus and it will weigh more than a pound at birth! By this week, the placenta is large and well established with a network of blood vessels that exchange nutrients and waste.

The eyes are facing more forward. The ears are now close to their final position.

Your baby is more flexible with ability to move head, mouth, lips, arms, wrists, hands, legs, feet, and toes.

Fingerprints are forming now.

Kehamilan 17 Minggu

Apabila bunda sudah terbiasa melakukan olah raga secara teratur sebelum hamil, sebaiknya tetap pertahankan kebiasaan olah raga tersebut, karena pada minggu ke 17 kehamilan ini, bunda akan merasa tubuh mulai tidak proporsional lagi ataupun akan merasa bunda menjadi lebih berat. Kegiatan olah raga ini juga sangat bermanfaat bagi bayi dan tubuh bunda.

Tubuh akan lebih berenergi, dan memperbaiki kualitas tidur karena olah raga dapat memperlancar peredaran darah bunda, mengurangi pegal-pegal dipersendian tubuh bunda atau kelelahan punggung. Olah raga yang dapat bunda lakukan selama kehamilan adalah olah raga yang ringan antara lain: jalan kaki dengan kecepatan yang cukup, bersepeda dengan kecepatan yang cukup, yoga, renang (tetapi harus diperhatikan suhu air yang tidak terlalu panas atau terlalu dingin), melakukan stretching dan relaksasi.

Perkembangan bayi bunda sudah berbentuk manusia di fase ini. Lemak sudah mulai terbentuk di bawah jaringan kulit bayi bunda yang akan berguna untuk mempertahankan suhu tubuh bayi pada saat lahir.

Minggu ke 17 kehamilan berat badan bayi bunda sudah mencapai 140-150 gram dengan tinggi badan 13 cm.

16 Weeks Pregnancy

At this point of your pregnancy, your baby is approximately 4.3 to 4.6 inches long and weighs 2.8 ounces. Not only is your baby growing, your uterus and placenta continue to grow to accommodate the growing baby inside of you! Just six weeks ago, your uterus weighed about 5 ounces. This week it now weighs 8.75 ounces! The amniotic fluid that surrounds the baby is increasing and there is about 7.5 ounces of fluid. You will easily be able to feel your uterus approximately three inches below your navel.

This is an important week for testing and you will most likely have an AFP test done. This is a harmless blood test that is done to detect abnormalities such as Down's syndrome or spina bifida. This is a non-invasive test and it carries no risk to your developing baby. Most doctors will offer the test, but in most cases it is completely optional.

Your milk glands start production at this time and this causes some tenderness and swelling in early pregnancy. Your veins will become more visible because there is an increased amount of blood flowing to the breasts.

Five and a half inches tall and only six ounces in weight. The child can grasp with his hands, kick, or even somersault.

At this time, your baby is holding her head erect. Because her muscles are developing, she can make some faces now. Your baby is able to squint, frown and open its mouth. There is enough calcium in the bones that they will show up on an x-ray. Your baby's fingernails are well formed now and the legs are longer than the arms. Because your baby is moving well now, you may begin to feel his movements! Some women say that the early movements feel like gas bubbles or a slight flutter. If you have not yet felt the baby move, don't worry. Fetal movements are usually felt between the 16th and 20th week of pregnancy.

You may feel your heart beating 'louder'. This is because there is a lot more blood in your body than normal. (about 20-25% more)
