SO FAR......
....so good.
Abi sent us a link to a friend's baby blog and suggested we start our own. Great idea Abi, thank you. So here it is, the countdown to the arrival of Peanut.
A little background:
We found out Peanut was on the way on 4 July 2005, with two home pregnancy tests and the doctor confirmed it for us on 5 July 2005. We've been told he/she (we don't know yet if it's a boy or girl, but will find out in 5 weeks time) is due on 3rd March 2005. So far, the thinking is that we will find out if it's going to be a boy or girl. We were very excited and a little surprised to find out Peanut was on the way and felt quite overwhelmed by it all for the first couple of days. But now, it's really sunk in and we are both counting the days to see Peanut.
Where we are at now:
I'm now 15 1/2 weeks along (which puts us in the fourth month and second trimester) and things have been pretty easy so far. No morning sickness, no cravings, no inexplicable behaviour etc. A few migraines have been making an appearance in the last week or so, but other than that, it's been smooth sailing so far. I've had the first and second ultrasounds already (in one, Peanut was a little blob, but in the second, though only 2 inches long, it was clearly a baby with a human head, legs, arms and movement) and the third is in about another 5-6 weeks. The tests so far have all come back normal and we are so thankful and keep praying that this will continue right through the pregnancy. The next doctor's visit is on Monday, 19 September.
Why Peanut?:
Roshan came up with that early on (probably because at that time, Peanut really was about the size of a peanut) and the name has stuck.
The Bundi Situation:
So far, no one would think I am pregnant by just looking at me, but many items of clothing have already been retired, some very reluctantly. The bundi is a little bigger, but it's difficult to tell what is Peanut related and what is just buth (rice) related! :-) So far, the weight gain is about 7LB which is really not that bad (they say the normal is about 5Lb in the first trimester and a pound or so a week in the second), considering there was no morning sickness or reduction in appetite! I did, however, buy the first lot of sort-of-maternity clothes this weekend. We'll get some photos up on this thing soon, but we need to go out and buy a digital camera first- it's on the list of things to do this week.
That's about it for now. I'll keep you posted (and hopefully Roshan will too) and hope to hear from you all too through the comments section. Please do comment so we don't feel like we're being too self-absorbed. :-)
