the fourteenth week

You have cheeks this week and are about 80 to 93 mm from crown to rump.

We started our trip on Wednesday, 27 December. We drove for about five to six hours in drizzle. We arrived in the cool mountain-side restaurant feeling very hungry and ordered our food straight away. We ate baked fish with yummy spicy sauce, some stir fried green vegetable, satay, and hot fluffy rice. Then we checked in to the next door resort for a night stay.

The next day, we continued our journey to my grandparents’ house. We had our dinner first before getting to their house.

Meeting your great grandparents was always a source of joy for me and your aunties. We arrived at their house at about 9 pm. Hugs and kisses and long talks into the night followed. In the morning, your grand-aunt came with her two daughters and we had a great time chatting till afternoon.

Today, the whole family from your grandma’s side came and gathered at a restaurant to celebrate your great grandma 80th birthday. Only 3 of my cousins could not make it to come, the rest of us were there. We had lunch, some games, and exchange of gifts. I think your great grandma really enjoyed the party.

There I met a cousin who was seven month pregnant. She said the baby was predicted to be a girl. The baby will be four months older than you, darling. I looked at her and see my future in her. I will be that big in a few months time! And honestly, I could not wait to be that big and to have you come out!
