gurgles

I saw my baby for the first time yesterday. It's 3 months and 1 week old. Via an ultrasound scan, of course. Tried to see the gender, but apparently its legs were preventing us from taking a peek. My gynae said we'll try to see the gender again on the next visit(about 3 weeks later). Yay. But what made me very happy and relieved, was knowing that my baby is perfect and healthy. When I heard its heartbeat, it almost made me cry. My baby is healthy! These few months of throwing up, not having the appetite to eat, feeling sick and tired all the time, struggling to commute to and from work...had gotten me worried if anything might go wrong. Still, due to health reasons, I'm advised to take as much rest as I can, and reduce my workload at home and at work(as if the goons at work will understand - screw them, my baby comes first!). And I musn't skip the daily vitamins, and eat proper food regularly. The usual stuff.

I now look a tad meatier, although strangely, my weight has increased by only a mere 0.5kg. My boobs have also grown a tad bigger, and they are now harder and it feels like I've had some rock implants done. Not to mention the blue-green veins and constant sore feeling. My waistline - where is it? It's going, going, and will soon be gone. My tummy has grown bigger and I can't fit into my usual tight clothes anymore. No miniskirts, no fitted shirts, no tight jeans. My bellybutton is getting shallower(so much easier to clean!) and my back and legs are beginning to ache every now & then. Peeing like nobody's business. Well, the usual stuff.

I hope everything will be ok. This baby means a lot to me. I'll do all I can to take good care of him/her. My baby is my life, my future...and I would do Anything to keep my baby safe & healthy.

Which also means that I've been talking to my baby and pretending that it understands what I'm saying. Somehow, I think it does. And soon, it won't be an 'it' anymore. Show mummy if you're a he or she! Don't be shy.
