baby steps: the journey to yummyhood. entry #4

the case of my missing waist has finally been cracked.

i saw my baby for the first time, and fell in love with her. so i really am pregnant, and not just putting on weight around my midsection. yey. tristan took the day off to witness the probing and he held my hand the whole time. there's three of us now.

i was a bit worried that something could be wrong as i was feeling very sick the past couple of months. but the doctor said everything looked to be ok with the baby's development.

hands


the little bean was happily swimming in her warm cocoon when we did the scan. i couldn't help but be a wee bit emotional. a solitary teardrop glided down my right cheek but i was too embarrassed to let the doctor see. it's still too early to tell the gender though, but i feel it's a girl.

i hurdled the first trimester. now i can't wait for what they say is the best part of pregnancy.

*****

tristan might just have been overwhelmed with joy after the scan. so he decided to reward me with three items of sexy lace and silk lingerie.

or was that reward for himself?

    @ KK: thanks heaps! hope you had fun with your trip...

    @ acer: basky is still in the process of setting up his site, so baka malapit-lapit na makakapagblog na ulit yun. update mo na ang hayfani at nang matapos na ang kwento.. =)

    @ chels: i really wanna know if it's a boy or a girl. 7 more weeks and i'll have my next ultrasound. gusto ko kasi i can buy baby clothes before i give birth, and buying unisex stuff doesnt sound too appealing at all. haha.

    Re: unisex stuff... I hear ya. We found out that Jack was a boy and told everyone, so we didn't get just piss-yellows and neon-greens. Tip: Don't buy too many clothes. Babies don't really need an extensive wardrobe, and they outgrow clothes like mad!

    @ foo: thanks for the tip. i have the tendency to overindulge. it'd prolly be wiser to spend the money on an excellent quality pram and a baby seat for the car, hey?
