Since I've posted my recent pictures where I appear to be bigger than usual coupled with the takoyaki craving incident, friends have skirted around the question "Are you pregnant?", carefully asked so that I won't be offended (in case it's just because I ate a lot!). Well, we're ready to share it now. Yes, we are pregnant! 13 weeks as of this post.
It's been an interesting experience for me. I was pregnant last year too but had an unfortunate miscarriage during the 9th week so we were really careful about sharing the news. But since we're past the critical stage (12 weeks), we're ready to share the good news with our family and friends.
This time around, I experienced all the pregnancy symptoms I haven't had the chance to experience before. I swear, after throwing up for consecutive days, being nauseous at any slight movement, feeling faint and craving for something you can't identify - I am in awe of my mother, my grandma, my mother-in-law and all the mothers out there who have gone through this. The only consolation I get is that Ronnel is extra attentive and has been very patient with me.
Anyway, let me end this by posting pictures of our little one. I thought I'd be different from mums who show ultra sound pictures to everybody but no, I'm just like the rest of 'em proud mums-to-be. So bear with me.
At eight weeks we can barely figure out where he/she is. Good thing there's a little arrow... that's why at work, our little one is fondly called "Little Arrowhead".
Here's our little one at eight weeks:
And at 13 weeks (yay, we no longer need an arrow to find our little one!)
