week 19 - kicks!

felt baby kick for real a few days' back. when she delivers a hard kick it always makes me go oooh! she's really doing quite a lot of moving inside. at night is when baby is the most active and gives the biggest kicks, but now and then i also feel baby kicking in the day in office and the natural reaction is to start rubbing the belly. heh.
saw baby moving quite a lot during the anatomy scan on wednesday too ... so much so that the scan took longer than usual because the sonographer was unable to get measurements. not so chill baby afterall! ;)
doc said all was normal based on the scan results, and also not to worry about the apparent bilateral cysts that showed up in baby's brain during the detailed scan. he said that so far for cases where there were cysts, all turned out fine in the end. really wanting to believe what the doc said, but can't help worrying slightly. wurrrh.
on a lighter (actually heavier) note,, i found out that i put on 3kg in 4 weeks!! but doc said it was all good and reminded me my body was doing catching up for not putting on much weight earlier. so far since week 6/7, my total weight gain has been 4kg. guess that is actually quite a moderate weight gain actually. hoping to keep to a total weight gain of 10kg or slightly more by the end of the pregnancy though .... wonder if it will be possible given how much i enjoy my food nowadays. nom nom nom.
