Happy new year

2009 is here, the journey of our angel has crossed to a new year, The passed 12 weeks wasnt easy especially from week 6. Lita had extra dose of morning sickness, yea morning sickness is just a term probably to make new mama feel better but the sickness she has was, morning sickness, afternoon sickness, evening sickness and night sickness, now this they didnt tell LOL.

She was so worned out that she stayed in bed most of the time, and I was feeling more like a daddy bird than a real father, every now and then I've to zoom out to buy her tom yam, later she would crave for hokkien mee...buy groceries ... satay ....ice cream .... I'm really feeling like a magpie father bird attending to his nest flying nonstop.

But today is our 3rd appointment with our doctor, I was excited as she is to have a glimps of our baby, we have the normal chat and Lita cant wait to be on the examination table. She weight 43.8kg which considering all the vomitting she just maintained her weight with no lost or gain. Finally ultrasound time.... both of us locked our eyes at the monitor and for the first time my heart rated raced passed 100BPM when I saw our baby, she has grown much bigger from the last time, Dr Sudha pointed at her hands and explained to us but yes I could see her structure very clearly, the heads, hands, legs and body... amazingly she seem a very naughty baby, she was twitching and making this quick turning, we can see her hands moving, one moment touching her head and then put her hands down, and she turned her whole body and face us.

For the first time I can say I was very excited, unliked the last time I was rather numb about it, Lita of coz was so trilled that tears are almost flowing from her eyes. She asked the doc picture!

Dr. Sudha says she can stop the duphaston and finished up whatever folic acid left, the next visit she would give her iron suppliment. Her morning sickness eased up a bit now as compared to 4 weeks ago, but now new symptoms are mild gastric and heart burn which is another bummer.

When we were on the way home, I felt really excited in my heart, its an amazing feeling to see our baby moving, the feeling is like in a beautiful dream, something I've never thought existed in me. It soften your heart and mellowed down your temper making you feel like a softie for awhile.

We had lunch and after that I went to work, Lita sms me later and says she was so excited that she cannot sleep, yea I fully understand that she cannot contain her joy and excitement, she says after looking at our baby moving all the sufferings from the vomitting, nauseas, gastric, headache and heartburn dissappeared and she says the sufferings are really worthy. We decide that we can now announce the new baby to the world.

I'm glad to have made it this far and I'm really thankful to our Lord Jesus Christ for taking the 3 of us safely crossed the firsts trimester.
