Passed the first trimester, yay!

Hi there little one, how're you doing in there?

Can't wait to see you, can't wait to hold you in my arms... but for the time being, can't wait till I can feel you moving inside your cozy little space (which is, by the way, not so little when seen from my perspective, lol).

We're now passing the 12 week mark, and the doc has given me the OK to start eating seafood again in a week or so (big yay!).

The doc said you're looking great, no sign of spina bifida, strong backbone, 2 arms, 2 legs, you even showed us 5 fingers of each hand in the ultrasound! Your big bro was SO excited to be able to see you in the ultrasound. He's calling you Lola, after the cartoon "Charlie and Lola" :)

Can't wait to see you growing bigger and stronger in the next ultrasound! Be healthy and happy always!

Love,

mama

another little one!

It's been a while since my last post, and my little guy is in kindergarten now (from a semester of playgroup since Jan 2012). We chose a "nature kindy" for him, which is a school with more outdoors activities and field visits than regular classroom lessons. That's great for our active little guy who's not exactly ready for sitting down in a classroom in a serious environ all day.

We've been TTC since the little guy was 2, but 2.5 yrs went by without success..until, last week (30 Oct).

I'd been feeling off for a couple of days and decided to go to the docs, but on a whim tried a preg test in the morning, and got a BIG FAT POSITIVE! Yaaaaaaaaayy! We immediately went to the doc (well, after sending off the little guy to kindy), and the doc confirmed by ultrasound, but advising that it's still too early in the pregnancy to assess the well-being of the foetus, and we'll know more in a month's time.

Since then, for this entire week, I'd gulped down gallons of milk, vitamins, and avoided coffee (sigh..), sushi, and the like.

Hope everything's okay so far, and we'll be expecting our SECOND LITTLE ONE, fingers crossed & prayers dutifully repeated.
So, looks like this blog will be reactivated ;o)
