Welcome

A warm welcome to Little Na's Journal 2007. We are a married couple who has recently been blessed with a new baby. Here we wish to share our learning experience as first time parents and do feel free to leave comments. Once again, thank you for visiting our blog.

We just had our routine check with the Gyne and realised that the baby now weighs 700gm.. a tad heavier than the average 600gm. It's an estimate nontheless. She's about 30cm now and could barely fit into the Ultrasound probe.
Fortunately mommy hasn't developed the much feared stretch marks as we moisturize the areas most prone to stretch marks with manukah honey moisturizers. They are very common at this stage of the pregnancy -- about 90 per cent of women get them. After you've given birth, the reddish or brown pigmentation in the stretch marks gradually fades, and the streaks become lighter than the surrounding skin.
We also heard the baby's heart beat from the doppler for the 2nd time... all is well and beating hard....
More updates in a month's time!
Names which we single out:
Charlotte \ch(ar)-lotte, charl(ot)-te\ is pronounced SHAR-let. It is of French origin, and its meaning is "little and womanly".
Caitlin \ca(it)-lin\ is pronounced KATE-lin. It is of Irish and Gaelic origin.
and its meaning is little darling or pure

Today we felt the baby kick and punch for the first time!
We are amazed at how phenomenal the process of human development really is, relieved that there was finally movement--a hopeful sign that everything was okay, excited about becoming parents, and fearful over possible complications, and what lie ahead through the duration of the pregnancy and birth.
But for now we pray for a safe delivery while the little one is saying let's use mommy's belly as a punching bag!!
