its been a while.....its been one hell of a roller coaster ride (exciting to be exact) with new milestones. I would have never imagined i would love another as much as i do now ... the other being hubz of coz) :)
I feel so blessed to have a wonderful husband , supportive family, wonderful godmas and godpas and (i cant imagine i would say this) a great helper ... last but not least ... to have someone who loves me unconditionally as i do him.
Thank you for the blessings
Lord I’m asking for Your help To raise my newborn son, give me strength and guide me cause I know that You’re the one. That sent this angel to me, a little heaven here on earth, for now I know my place in life… I’m no longer who comes first. Once I had no answer as to why it is I’m here, but when I looked into my baby’s eyes…. it all became so clear. This little bit of heaven owns me, heart and soul and it’s You that sent him to me, a greater love I’ll never know. So take these rugged hands of mine, help me to understand, just what it is I need to do to raise this little man. Help me build a boy that knows it’s You that holds the key, to all that heaven holds for us. Show him Your love through me.

we are almost there! this would prob be the longest one month ever. we are more anxious than the time it was one month to the wedding.
i cant wait to pop. i cant sleep .i cant eat well. i cant walk for long. i cant sit for long. i can bend down to pick things up. i cant see my own toes. i just cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!
but all is well and good with Cristian. i cant wait to see him.
and then i will have two boys to take care of ...... Blissssssssssss
yeah! i am now 2/3 of the journey to having a baby boy!
i am currently obsessed with feeling my tummy at oddly hours to feel baby Cristian's movements. Only a mummy would understand the miracle of a baby moving inside of you ... not even a father :) but at least he has got the hang of it. i just randomly grab his hand over my tummy when baby Cristian is kicking. Well, he almost has a nightly habit of putting his hands on my tummy just to feel if baby is awake. Nice!
we finally passed the dreadful 16. i cant even bring myself to remember that fateful week. but anyway its been a long 17 weeks this time round and we pulled through with the help of lots of prayers and friends' and loved ones' blessings. We are so looking forward to expecting our first child in Aug / Sep. Its going to be a Leo baby! Family seems ecstatic and its helps to ease our anxiety until the arrival of our baby. It will be another week or 2 before we declare its officially past the risk period and i just cant bloody wait............... i need to shop for baby clothes and really start planning for the baby.
hubz felt a kick or two ... he claims. i've felt slight flutters in my tummy ... i think . so we aint that sure that's baby Cristian talking to us but we do know that baby is doing well coz of the constant cramps and backaches i feel on a daily basis. But i am so not complaining coz its a sure sign that Cristian is growing well with a vengeance! i had a super blonde moment when i mentioned to our gynae that i didnt have such symptoms the previous pregnancy and he was like " Baby wasnt growing what " hiaks .
so the pregnancy has almost taken over our life , work still goes on. Hubz is still busy with work and the bakery while work has taken a positive turn for me. Looks like life is looking good now .... and of coz it doesnt hurt to have male colleagues (read: wierd) writing blogs at their age
here goes one http://dwee-david.blogspot.com/
now i know the true meaning of tears of joy. it was an unbelievably feeling of 'high' when we saw our baby kicking and twisting around. dr said baby's very active and doing well. he did very preliminary tests for down syndrome like measurement of nasal and neck width to show that bb was doing good. yippeee.... that was extremely comforting to know that baby is growing well with a vengeance. the late night coaxing and tummy rubbing have paid off! dr also declared that the risk is significantly lower now that we have entered the second trimester of the preganancy!
what was more amazing was the moment we stepped out of the room, i looked at hubz and went
me : did you see something?
hubz : yeah man . i tawt only i saw it
me : no no i saw a penis too!
hubz : yeah should be
okay maybe the gynae just wanted to be sure and told us he will only tell us the gender next week.
but of course it doesnt matter .... coz the baby will still be our most precious gift!
as always ... after every good news visit to the gynae, my morning sickness just seemed to disappear and we had a good meal of Din Tai Fung. *PURE BLISS*
