About time for a pregnancy update. I’m about 23 weeks along. Bump is definitely getting more pronounced and really feeling the stretch.
At 23 weeks baby is about 30cm long (head to toe) and weighs about 500g. Here’s a recent scan from a couple weeks back. Proof of baby’s blue status indicated by the arrow (courtesy of the ultrasound technician).
Thanks for taking the time to comment - I love reading every single one of them! Although I may not be able to reply to each comment, I will definitely pop over to your blog to say hello.
I love hearing from readers and fellow bloggers alike. If you're a little shy or would like to get in touch with me directly, drop me an email at serenely@outlook.com
Our DIY outdoor chalkboardToday’s entry is not so much a post as it is just a way to showcase the latest addition to our outdoor play area… Our new mega sized outdoor chalkboard!
This past week has been all about snails.The children are always fascinated by the snails in our garden and ask endless questions about them.A couple of weeks back, one of my boys stumbled across a snail crawling along the ground.
A couple of weeks ago, I had posted this snapshot of these set of magnetic shapes I made on my Instagram. I received a few curious questions on how I made them.
And so Nathan’s very first day of kindergarten is over. It was a mixture of good, bad, sweet and sour. I think that so much happens throughout the day, it can be challenging for a little person to filter through it all.
These days my days are packed full to the brim. From the moment I wake up to the sound of Grace calling through the baby monitor and Nathan’s cheeky face peering at me over the edge of the bed… to the evening when I finally tuck them into bed and say goodnight.

i read that olive oil will prevent stretch marks ;p
ReplyDeleteOh serene...I so look forward to your updates. so exciting :)
ReplyDeletehey you, just a follow up on Min's comment...
ReplyDeletehi Min! =)
just an FYI if it would help... i oiled and oiled and oiled when pregnant with emeth. no stretch mark at all -- until the last three weeks or so. i'll spare you the details.
heard from reliable sources(and am since convinced) that it's genetics. :] either you get it or you don't.
i've made peace with my belly, my marks of honor. =)
Marks of Honour!!! Love the concept.
ReplyDeleteNo stretch marks yet, but will mentally prepare myself if needed. Thanks for the heads up.
I'm using baby oil which I apply everyday religiously... not sure if it helps with stretchmarks but it at least helps a little with the itching and 'tight feeling'
