The Life Adventures of Baby Caleb

Tuesday, July 1, 2008

Last week I went for a little Yoga class with Dawn provided for free at the base and it was really a gentle yoga class! Some light stretches on the mat. After that also joined her at the Base Gym for a 25min walk on the threadmill! Totally felt refreshed after that!

I think I should go out more to exercise but each time I get out into the hot summer heat, I puke... I somehow saw the pattern this week, Saturday while I was out in the cinemas and when we walked frosty and even this morning when we send the car for servicing... So I shall avoid the heat as much as I can!

Anyway this morning, we went to the Gynae's office real early cause we had a scan lined up for us. It was about half an hour and was meant to measure baby's spine to see if baby has any risk for down syndrome and thank the lord that baby's all normal, all we could hear from the sonographer was normal normal normal and I guess that's what all parents would love to hear! We were able to see the little fingers and toes... And the songrapher's really good! She managed to capture a lot of other stuff like baby stomach, bladder, unbilical cord etc and pointed to us loads of stuff! It took me a little while to see everything she pointed out though.

When she was scanning baby legs she asked, would you like to know the gender of the baby, I look and hubby and was like! Yes of course!!! We were really surprised! Cause many mummies can only see their baby's gender at about 4 and a half months! We were like really you can see that already?! And she nods her head...

And the she pointed to us the little pokey thing! Our darling baby is a BOY!!! OMG...
Tears started streaming down my face, I didn't know why. I guess its all the excitement and the confirmation of the little life inside me? Life is such a miracle! I mean I told Jason during the first few weeks that I think we are having a boy and OMG its really a boy!!! Jason teared too but wasn't as dramatic as me where I required tissue to wipe all those teardrops off!!!

Anyway our darling boy, i think we shall re nick name you as our little beanie instead, thumbelina is just too girly for you! Here are pictures from the scan! And my little paunch at 12 weeks. Suyi says that I must show them pictures of my paunch!!! Haha... And so here it is!
