Being a Mommy!!

Yes.. I am going to be a mommy soon :)

It all happened on 25th October. We were all set to fly to Chandigarh for my parent's house warming ceremony and my cousin's wedding. It was 29th day from my last period (so ideally not a case of delayed period, but since my cycle usually never goes beyond 26 days so i decided to take home pregnancy test.) The taxi for airport was due to arrive at 6:00 am, I read result- "THE POSITIVE" result at around 5:30 am. I had to check and recheck the instructions, because I just could not believe what I saw.

Anshul who was in loo at that time, came out around 5:40 and made an angry face when he saw me still in my night clothes. But the moment I made the announcement that he is going to be a dad, he hugged me in a long, affectionate and best hug ever. After that we came to senses only when taxi waalla called to tell that he was already downstairs, waiting for us. It took us another 10 min to get ready and rush down with so much of excitement in our hearts.

BABY INSIDE-

Hearing the Heart Beat: 

At 6 weeks I had my 1st ultrasound, and for the 1st time saw my baby. though it was smaller than a little peanut, but "MY" peanut had a heart beat of his/her own. It was the most mesmerizing and overwhelming moment of my life.

Fast forward week 12:

The nausea has set in. the evenings are terrible. did not have morning sickness, but nausea worsens as the day progresses.

Had the 2nd ultrasound and we could hear the baby's heart beat very clearly now. It went lupduplupduplupdup at 164 beats per min. Both me and Anshul just could not have enough of it. The ultrasound was basically to check the baby for down syndrome, nasal bone and some other stuff. Gladly every thing seems fine with our baby.

SMILES!! :)

End of 1st Trimester:

On 26th December'13, my 1st trimester came to an end and I was hoping to get some relief from nausea, so that i can get on with eating healthy food for the baby. But instead in addition to nausea I started having sever frequent head aches.

2nd February'14:

Though I have been suspecting the few flickers in my stomach are actually baby movements, but I did actually feel a bigggg flutter today. it felt ticklish, sweet and baby felt more real then ever.  

Week 20th Anomaly Scan:

so the baby has started taking the shape. Though the baby still looks like and alien, but the features can be made out easily. We saw the baby in 3D/4D scan and baby also treated us with a visual of sucking his/her thumb. yes, the baby was indeed sucking the thumb it was the cutest thing ever. 

the scan was to rule out and kind of deformity or anomaly in the baby. and all seemed fine with mine :)

End of 2nd Trimester:  

on 26th March'14 my 2nd trimester ended. I am currently in my 27th week the baby is about 14 inches and little more than 1kg. though I have gained 9kgs :)

I feel more energetic and excited. I have started window shopping a lot and have also joined ante natal classes.
