"Looks quite chubby"

That's how the sonographer described him during our detailed scan on monday. Was good to see him growing well and normally. Saw his lips and I thought they looked like Hubby's :) He looks like he has round chubby cheeks from the scan too! Of course Doc did give a disclaimer that babies grow at different rate, so he may be growing faster now and may taper off nearing birth. As of now, he weighs 390grams, that's about 30 grams heavier than the average weight of a 20 week old fetus. We figured that since daddy and mummy are both chubby, so will baby.

Since the scan, I've been feeling him move alot more...no distinct kicks or punches yet, but more flutterings. And now we no longer call him Baby, but by his name, Caleb. Feels a little weird at first, like getting to know someone all over again! Now I can start to prep myself to parent a BOY...already thinking of how I hope he will behave as he grows...

Call me traditional, but I really believe in treating boys and girls different...boys need to learn to be independent, responsible and gentlemanly, and of course how to take care of the family...cos God has called them to be the head of their household. As for girls, they need to behave like a lady should, have a gentle yet resilient character as God has called them to be submissive to their husbands and yet witty and capable of running their household.

But I know these are just my expectations, and that ultimately I will still need to adjust my parenting style to his unique character. For now, my hopes for him is that he will continue to grow and healthy within me and be born and lively and jolly baby. And as he grows, he will become like his name, to be bold and like the 2 spies who see God and not the giants of the Jerichos in his life.

Grow on Caleb! Looking forward to meeting you face-to-face in August :)
