Baby: "Doc told mom that I have a tall nose (well, look at my dad) and a very strong heart beat. He said my heart is getting stronger. Everything looks great!" 

"Although, I was not cooperating this evening, I was not in a 'proper' laying position for the doc to take a good picture of me... I was in my 'usual' 'happy' upside down position! Hehehe..."

"I guess this is the best picture they can take of me at week 19! : P"

It's a GIRL ; )

So many weeks passed by, I have been through a serious cold with a fever and sent to the emergency, I have done another blood test for down syndrome. I have lost 2 to 3 kg and then gained about 1.5 kg (because of this the baby was a bit slower than the normal growth.)

And here we go, this week, week 16,  marks the fourth month of my pregnancy. Not only I am in the easier second trimester, we have also found out that the baby (still working on the name) is growing at a normal rate now, and most importantly we found out that it's a baby GIRL!!! : P Also, the blood test has turned out to be normal with a very low chance of baby having down syndrome. YAY!!!

Me, at fourth moth pregnant!


Phew!!!! The couple weeks that passed, Ryan and I have really been through what parents have gone through in terns of having a child. The worries, thinking, decision-making and check-ups that parents have to do to make sure their child is healthy really made me realize that it ain't an easy task for someone to just yell: "Hey, guess what, I'm gonna be a mom/dad!"

Baby at 16 weeks, too bad she wasn't showing her face... : /

As I was told and reminded a million times: "Oh, don't you worry, THIS is just the beginning!" I really hope that Ry and I  are prepared or at least slowly getting ready for this life to come, becoming part of the family and rocking our world. 
Well, for me, she has already been in our life anyways... ; )
