Anticipating our baby's gender

Our family is so excited to know if it's a boy or girl for us. His/her position during the last ultrasound makes it so hard to confirm the gender. He/she is in face down sleeping position, I find it so cute! Just like his/her daddy! My OB shook my tummy and his/her head moved a bit. Our baby is a sleepy head! :)

My friends have been asking me if I want a boy or girl for our firstborn. I honestly don't know. Or maybe I just don't want to have any preference. I should be equally happy if it's a boy or girl. As long as our baby is healthy.

My sister wants a boy, and I feel my dad wants a boy too as his first grandchild. He's been dreaming of the day that he can teach his apo how to play golf. My friends say, it looks like our baby is a girl, because I look happy and beautiful. Whatever that means, haha.

Hopefully, we will be able to confirm next week during the 20-week detailed scan. :)

Pregnancy Pillow

Lately, I've been having difficulty sleeping because of my baby bump. I am experiencing leg cramps and back pains because I always sleep on my left side. They say that this is the best sleeping position for the mom and baby.

I found this pillow at Mothercare Singapore website. It's called dreamgeniii pregnancy support and feeding pillow. And we bought one yesterday at Vivo City. It was divine!!! I had almost 8-hours of uninterrupted sleep!!! I love it!

It claims to encourage optimal foetal positioning which can lead to a shorter and less painful labour, encourage maximum blood flow between mother and baby, etc. Let me try it for a few more days, and see if it's really effective.
