28/29 week update

Wow so much has happened the last few weeks!

Lets start with last week:

I went to the Mamamagic baby expo with a friend on Thursday.

I had a shopping list!!

My main aim was to buy our travel system which Granny and Grampa Brune so kindly sponsored, but being the person I am I am always looking for the best price.

So off we went tho the expo. While we were there I decided to go for a 4D scan seeing that they aren't available here in Vdbp.

Were we in for a surprise!! Little Hanru is a real show off! He opened his eyes, sucked his thumb, grabbed the umbilical and showed us just how much he can stretch and touched his toes! What a cutie!!! We got some really nice pics of his little face!!

My little man weighed 1.2kg on the 4D scan.

We also managed to buy our travel system, Thanks Mom and dad!

I also bought a few other things for Hanru! Daddy's face was a sight to see when he got home and saw all the parcels :)

Once everything was unpacked I got a call on my cell to say we had won a cot from MEDIA 24 (the your pregnancy / Your baby and Toddler stand) WOW!!! What a surprise! Stefan says I can do that kind of shopping anytime if I come back with winning something!!

The cot was delivered yesterday!

We had our 29 week check up with our gynae on Monday and Hanru weighed in at 1.3kg, mommy has gained a kg since our last check-up. All is still on track for Hanru's arrival in February, Mommy has booked her hospital bed and booked for antenatal classes!

25 week ultrasound

So off to the Dr last week for our 25 week check up.

Hanru is still definately a boy, weighing 875g and has long legs and big feet!
Dr said Hanru doesn't like him much because he was sleeping when we had the appointment and no amount of coaxing or prodding was going to wake him up.

Mommy has gained a total of 2kg in 25/26 weeks which pleases mommy and the dr.

Baby moon

We always try to go away around about our anniversary, and this year we went to Ballito.

Although the weather was mostly overcast and cloudy we still enjoyed our time off.

We got to see dolphins and whales which is something you don't see that often.

Stefan felt Hanru kick for the first time on Monday (Our Anniversary)

23 week update

Went off to the doc for our 23 week update on the 18th.

Hanru weighed 505g. He was really busy - kicking and squirming!

Stefan loved seeing his little man move around. He even opened and closed his little mouth for us.

When I said to Stefan, Hanru looks like him - our gynae replied he rather thinks the baby looks like him!

HA HA - we all had a good laugh.

Everything looks normal, Dr checked Hanru's heart, diaphragm, pallette, skull, femur as well as the normal measurements.

When the Dr wanted to check his heart beat - Hanru decided it was time to get some kicking practice.

20/21 Week update

So we had our 20 week check up on Monday. Stefan came with this time and what a difference for him to see how baby has grown since the last time he was there at 8 weeks.

Baby is doing well measuring 350g. Dr wants to see me in 2 weeks to check all baby's organs.

And surprise surprise Baby is a boy! Dr is 95% certain. We didn't get any sonar pics this time but we hope to get some next week.

So Baby G is now officially Hanru Groenewald. And he is kicking up a storm - it must be all the Rugby world cup fever going on!

My tummy is growing by the day, and I feel like I'm already waddling!

Below is my belly pic taken at 21 weeks.
