33 Weeks 三十三周Baby狀況
Have you toured the birthing rooms at your hospital yet? If not, 33 weeks is a good time to go. While you're there, preregister at the birthing center. Paperwork will be the last thing on your mind during labor! Take notes on where to park and check in. Your partner will appreciate the heads-up.
Your Baby's Development This Week
This week and the four weeks that follow mark a time of astounding growth as your baby reaches her ultimate birth weight.
• She weighs about 4-1/2 pounds and might grow a full inch in length this week alone! She's grown to about 12-1/2 inches, or about the length of an average pumpkin.
• Your baby continues to gain weight rapidly — about a half pound a week.
• The pupils of her eyes now can adjust to bright or dim light, just like yours.
Learn more about week 33 of your pregnancy.
Your Wellness and Nutrition This Week
You're about to become a regular at your OB/GYN's office as prenatal checkups become more frequent. And if heartburn or bloating rear their ugly heads, you might want to cut back on spicy or greasy foods. Find out more.

32W Maternity Photo 32週大肚照
Thanks Zarli Win for taking my 8 months maternity photos, he is a professional photographer I have been working my makeup with, also he has been shooting me for a while as well. This look is more vampire but the outfit is pirate. So he came out the idea of using the treasure case and stuff as background and see how it turn out. The light setting is very impressive and I love all the pictures he did!!!
這位這影師Zarli Win是我這一年半合作的夥伴,我提供他化妝的支持,有時他也會拍我的cosplay。他是一個專業的攝影師,我很感謝他這次幫我拍8個月的大肚照。這次的主題是吸血鬼,不過衣服也點像海盜,嘻嘻！我們最後跟另外提供我們場地的電影攝影師借了海盜的道具拍了一張隨心的照片,效果還不錯！Zarli真的很會控制閃光！每一張照片我都很喜歡！
Are you starting to feel puffy? Welcome to week 32! Swelling is most common now — especially in your hands, face, ankles, and feet. Try drinking more water (yes, more!). And kick up your feet — elevate your legs when you can.
Your Baby's Development This Week
Your baby is spending quite a bit of his time practicing the skills he'll need after birth, such as sucking, swallowing, and breathing. Other changes include:
• Your baby weighs about 4 pounds and is almost 11-1/2 inches long, or the length of a small watermelon.
• You might notice a change in your baby's movements this week, as he becomes more crowded in your uterus. Kicks and movements might seem less powerful.
• Your baby's skin is no longer see-through. It looks more like yours.
Learn more about week 32 of your pregnancy.
Your Wellness and Nutrition This Week
Feeling stuffed? Try grazing. Four or five healthy mini-meals can help you get the same nutrition as your usual three squares a day. See more nutrition ideas.
Week 32: The Checklist
Slather on the lotion. If your belly's itchy these days, keep lots of lotion handy in your purse, at work, and in the car to handle itching emergencies! Get the checklist.

From Similac:
Week 31 brings some new body changes — with benefits! You might notice your hair is fuller and more healthy, and your nails are growing at a record pace. You can thank your pregnancy hormones for these unexpected beauty benefits.
Your Baby's Development This Week
This week, your baby's body and brain continue to make the connections that enable her systems to work as a whole. Also:
• Your baby weighs more than 3 pounds and is 11 incheslong, about the length of an asparagus spear.
• Your baby's lungs now are more developed but are not completely mature.
• You might notice that your baby has more defined periods of being awake (and active) or asleep.

My back bone is now better since I adjust the way I sleep again. I notice because I turned my back toward to the bed the the baby's weight caused the back pain. Now I wear the belly belt while I sleep so I don't have to worry baby drop to one side when I sleep on the side and this way it reduce the pain :)
Now only the bottom join bones hurt but it doesn't cause too much inconvenience.

29W 二十九週的紀錄
8/5 In today's morning I felt the baby's foot moving, I think I could almost grab his foot, how amazing!
8/18 Because the baby is getting heavy so quickly, my tail bone hurt very very bad, and walking or standing will make it worse, because the baby will drop lower and make it worse. Sometime I can't even stand up from bed and walk to the bathroom, I almost cry when it hurts so much. Walking on the stairs are hard, too.
From Similac Strong Mom Message:
Dear Hung-Lan,
Welcome to week 29 — the start of your third trimester! By now, you're probably feeling some late-pregnancy pains. Fend off the backaches, fatigue, and leg cramps with a boost of vitamin C. Carrots, sweet potatoes, eggs, and leafy greens all are great options to get your daily dose. It does a body good!

This week your baby might best be described as long and strong!
• Your baby probably weighs almost 3 pounds and is about 10 inches long, about the length of a large cucumber.
• Your baby's activity probably keeps getting more frequentand stronger during the 29th week of pregnancy.
• During the next 11 weeks, she might more than double or almost triple her current weight.

Many women begin to slow their activity in the 29th week of pregnancy and beyond, which is normal.
- You are carrying more weight, which can make any physical activity more exhausting than normal.
- Respond to your body's needs. It's OK to modify your routine. Just try to keep moving every day.

27W 二十七週更多Baby動態
Since 24W Zihuan's movement can be seen from outside.
7/16 We went see Transformers 3, but the sound effect was too loud and caused baby kept kicking. So I might have to stop going to theater for nor on. I don't think he likes the noise.
7/17 The baby starts moving a lot in the afternoon. (Go to his blog to check out his pervious movement record).
7/24 I put a little book against my belly and was saw the book moved because of Zihuna's kicking.
After I ate the chili I made the baby kicked a lot, not sure he likes it or not.
Usually when I lay down the baby moves more, sometime when I flip over to change sleeping position, he changes, too. Maybe I didn't give him enough space.
When I get up late, Zihuan would kick me and let me know he wants to eat. I think breakfast.

25 W 二十五週媽咪的大肚照
So Jolene Sasaki and I was talknig about what kind of maternity pictures should I be taking. And I told her I was talking about it with my brother Chan-Ting Kaoonce, and Rock Band should be a cool idea for maternity picture now (I will take more when the time is near).I wanted to do Rock Band because it's my favorite game right now and the baby is now able to hear sounds. So I think it would be interested to put these two ideas together. But I never play rock music to the baby directly form the headset.
當寶寶6個月大時,我和Jolene阿姨討論9個月時該拍甚麼大肚照,然後我們突發奇想現在就可乙先拍一些。因為媽媽喜歡玩Rock Band, 所以就決定拍這樣的主題。妝和照片都是媽咪自己一人搞定的唷！媽咪很利害吧！以後媽咪都會教你的！

12W 十二週的招音波照
4W I am pregnant! 媽咪懷孕了！
I didn't know I was pregnant at the first time because Chris and I have been trying about a year to get pregnant. My physical situation is pretty normal, which means my cycle always comes on time. About the end of February, I noticed my period was late for 3 days, which never happened. I also talked to my photographer friend about it because we where doing a shoot. I was afraid it came during the shoot. He asked me what if I am pregnant, I was like, well that would be great but I almost lost faith I would be pregnant.
I also talked to Chris, he was pretty sure I got pregnant. A few days later I was assisting the same photographer, I talked to the girl we were shooting. I was nervous, what I didn't want to happen was the delay of my period was because of my nervous.
After nearly a week, Chris bought some pregnancy test and had me to try. It came out positive. I was so nervous when I was waiting for the result. I was afraid I couldn't handle it if it came out negative. The test says it should take 10 minutes for the result, but it only took a few seconds. I was so surprised, I never use the test before so I wasn't sure if it was showing right. So I wait until next morning and did the test again. It showed the same. So I was confirmed that I got pregnant. Chris was very happy, too.
We actually were seeing a doctor about how to get pregnant, but the second time we visited him we told him we got pregnant. He was happy for us, too. He said that save us so much time for the test in the future. And he sent me to do more additional blood test.
The doctor advices me to sleep on the left side, I was afraid I will press on my belly because I normally sleep with belly faces down. So I had to place my hand against the belly when I sleep. Sleeping during my pregnancy is a challenge. I never actually slept well.
The morning sickness was actually "evening sickness", it's right after I eat dinner. It was killing me. And during that time my dad and my uncle came visit and I had to cook for them. Well..my dad cooks, too, but my uncle doesn't at all. It was hard because I had to stand the smell of the food and eat something I didn't want to eat. Yeah my uncle was more picky about food.
Thank god the sickness was gone after 3 months, which is normal. So I can start to cook health delicious food for me and my baby!
記得媽咪當初為了懷孕,嘗試好多方法。回台灣時還去看中醫,吃了半年的中藥,然後外婆又寄了一些doTERRA的精油和天然藥丸來吃,使用一個月就懷孕了,所以媽咪認為是那款天然補品的關係！所以在此貼上他們的網站！他們的精油很棒！針對各種疑難雜症推出不同的精油,效果相當好！
媽咪現在還在使用"乳香"的精油,塗再肚臍附近,等baby生出來後可以給baby全身擦,強健baby的身體！如果有媽咪們需要懷孕的可以參考參考！
I had been trying different ways to get pregnant. I also went back to Taiwan to visit a Chinese medicine doctor and had taken the pills for 6 months. The my mom gave me the dōTERRA pills and oil to use. After using it's products for about 1 month, I got pregnant. This company is from Utah, that has many different kinds of essential oil for different body/ mental problems, and they work great! My family has testimonies about how they cure their personal physical problems. So I would like to shear this website to you all, hopefully you get interested and try them out!
