Update from inside the Womb You may not know it when it happens, but your tiny tenant frequently gets the hiccups, which babies master before breathing. Babies don't make any sound because their trachea is filled with fluid rather than air. Although you've probably gained between 5 and 10 pounds / 2.2 - 4.5 kilograms, the fetus weighs in at around only 2.5 ounces / 70 grams. It measures nearly 4 inches / 11 centimetres long, crown to rump. Legs are growing longer than the arms now, fingernails are fully formed and all the joints and limbs can move. You may be able to find out the sex of your baby by ultrasound now, since the external genitals may be developed enough that the ultrasound technician can tell you if you're going to have a boy or a girl. If the idea of having a baby seems so remote, nothing makes it feel more real than feeling your baby move for the first time . Most mums-to-be discern movement (called quickening ) between 16 and 20 weeks. If you've been pr...

Hmmmm... at such a young age. Photos captured both Renee & Nathanael sleeping together. What? Sleeping in church some more? Hehehe ... check them out have a good shut eye today at Glad Tidings Revival Service (GTRS). But wow when Nathanael awoke he was trying to challenge Ps Julie Khoo on who's the loudest! (See what we did last week when he was noisy!) [tags : darentiff nathanael ketogenic ketones epilepsy seizures diet ketogenic diet ]

Hehehe .. these pictures were taken last weekend in Church. Nathanael started getting really excited and wanted to join the preaching. He was babbling non stop and in a super high pitch voice, till mommy found a way to silent him. Everyone around us kept looking back each time Nathanael tried to "preach" his message. And the handkerchief really brought giggles.. cos he really looks cute in it! :) Let's see how Nathanael behaves tomorrow in church. :) Cute ler? [tags : darentiff nathanael cute ]

We've just tabulated Nathanael's seizures/fits for August and have uploaded his graph/stats on to his Fits Diary page . His seizures seems to be maintaing an average of 20 - 30 a day at this moment. Continue to pray that his seizures will reduce and stop. Take a look at the page to see trends. We've kept track of his seizures/fits since the first day.

We will be starting Nathanael on the Ketogenic Diet sometime by end September. We will be going to the General Hospital Kuala Lumpur (GHKL) or as some has aptly corrected us its now known as the Hospital Kuala Lumpur (HKL) [apparently its not that General anymore] We are awaiting for the confirmation dates from both the Dietian and Metabolic Doctor on the dates and Nathanael will have to hospitalized for this procedure to take place. Unlike what we normally know as a "diet", this is not just an abstinence of food, but a mathematically calculated diet done at all times to ensure that the correct amount and correct type of food is given to Nathanael. Can u imagine, we can only be one gram off the scale of what we are to feed him. So you can imagine how intense it can be. In future, once we commence the Ketogenic Diet, we cannot just feed him off the table with whatever that we are consuming, we have to be extremely careful. For those of you who want to know more about the Keto...

Update from inside the Womb Our baby is now growing his first hairs. Whether they're jet black, cocoa brown, golden blonde or fiery red, curly or straight, will remain a secret until the day he's born. Of course, family genes offer some clues, but many parents have been surprised at delivery. Fine body hair called lanugo, which usually disappears later in pregnancy, blankets his body now, too. Crown to rump, our baby is around 3 and a half inches / 9 centimetres long and weighs one and a half ounces / 43 grams. The body is now growing faster than the head. This week, its parchment-thin skin covers itself with lanugo (ultra-fine, downy hair that usually disappears before birth). Though eyebrows are beginning to grow and the hair on top of the head is sprouting, this hair may change in both texture and colour after birth. About now, the fetus can grasp, squint, frown, and grimace. It may even be able to suck its thumb. Researchers believe these and other movements probably corr...

We've got exciting news for you all! Praise God for his grace & mercy. Tiff is pregnant!!! The baby in Tiff's womb is now 3 months and 2 weeks old. From all the doctor's visits thus far, baby is doing well and with a strong heart beat. Expected due date will be 1 March 2007. So we ask that you pray along with us, especially for mummy Tiff as she carries our second child and continue to take care of Nathanael - and bringing him for all his therapy classes, early intervention school and hospital visits. And the million dollar question that all of u keep asking us continually. Wow, how do u guys do it? We were discussing this last nite, and we feel that, if you are in a similar circumstance, with God, we believe u will also rise up the the situation and do all you can for your child. Its all thru God's strength and our Hope that is in Him!! Even as i am typing this, a very appropriate song is playing the Background. Make Me Glad from Hillsong's Blessed Album . The...
