We’re 29 weeks already! Can’t believe that next appointment will be our last monthly one and then it’s fortnightly and then weekly. *lol* I don’t think I made it to my second weekly checkup with Arianna so that’s like a shock back to reality at how soon Pacman will be here! The checkup went well and Pacman is developing nicely. And on average I’m putting on about 2kgs a month which I think is a steady weight increase. Was absolutely over the moon to find out that my iron level is great and have no GD. Phew!
You know, I used to wonder if Arianna knew that a new baby was on her way. Ted always tells her that soon she will have a little baby sister to play with but being so young, I don’t think she understands. Although one can hope that she does. On my part, I haven’t really been doing anything to prepare her but I do point to my belly and say, ‘Come sayang* baby’. And she does…she comes over, lifts up my tshirt exposing my belly and puts her cheeks to my belly. That’s her way of showing affection. She’s been doing that everytime I asked her to and this morning, while I was just sitting down, she came over to me and lifted up my shirt and started poking my belly button which is a norm anyway and when I said ‘baby’, she immediately ‘sayang’ my belly. I thought it was so cute! 
So I guess to a certain degree, she does get it. I’ve been waiting to take a pix of that but it happens when I’m home alone with her and Ted’s not around so it’s kind of hard to snap which is a pity since it would be an awesome shot! Aida’s got a really nice one of Ava kissing her belly when she was preggy with Ben, it was so touching. 
Ted and I were talking the other day about how we should behave after Pacman comes coz we don’t want her to feel left out. She may be less than 2 when Pacman comes but that doesn’t mean she won’t realise that she is ‘sharing’ us with someone else. We will need to constantly include her in everything of course and I do hope that she doesn’t get too rough with Pacman coz she is a little ganas* with kids smaller in size than her! *lol*
I can just imagine her pulling on Pacman’s hair and poking her eyes – that’s like SO going to happen, I know. But with Mum coming over and staying a little longer, I’m sure that we will be able to cope better. An extra pair of hands is always a God-send!
*sayang = love/give cuddles?
*ganas = rough
