No More Cheesecakes

I am hungry all the time. I have no nausea or food cravings so far. Wonder if thats normal? I have been taking Folic acid everyday. I hope I am eating correct and enough for the baby.

Last night I stopped myself from ordering my favourite blueberry cheesecake. Soft cheese are not permitted during pregnancy. I have stopped going to the gym. I am at home full time now. No office, no long outings. My body needs 10-12 hours of sleep. I avoid malls and movie theaters coz I need to pee every 20 minutes or even less and I hate visiting publics loos.

The wait is several months long. I feel a little less cheerful these days. And moody. Hormones? I think so.

1st Heartbeats!

We heard it! Its so incredible to hear heartbeats coming out of your tummy. My baby announced its well being with loud and rapid heartbeats. :-) :-) Sounded a lot like a freight train passing by. 155 beats per/sec! SIGH!!!

They say 140-147 beats means its boy and higher than that means its a girl. Its not a scientifically backed theory though.

Am I going to have a little doll?? :-) :-)

Waiting for 8th week

One can hear the baby's heartbeat in the 8th week. We are going for another ultrasound and HCG test to ensure pregnancy is moving smoothly.

I am nervous. The HCG should have increased 16 times since last measured. Fingers crossed.

1st Ultrasound

I am in my 6th week now. And I saw my baby! Well not the baby actually. The yolk sac. Its round and really tiny. Difficult to imagine it as a developing baby right now. I am impatient to see it grow fast. I want to see its face already...Will have to wait a couple of months for that!

I want to tell everybody I know that I am preggers. But will wait till 2-3 months. I also realize that I have become substantially more religious since I found out about the tiny person that is living inside me.

1st Month of Magic

I feel so special. It feels like a high similar to falling in love. Everything is floating in air and happy, happy. My hubby and I grin each time our eyes meet. :-)

Doctor has advised me to strictly avoid auto-rickshaws, jerky movements, activities like running. I have been taking aerobics classes at FitnessOne. Will have to stop now. I am going to miss my gym girlfriends... Will bake a cake for them and visit to share the happy news.

Hi People, I have NEWS!

The stork has visited us! At first I wasn't sure. I could feel subtle changes in my body and well..we had been trying. With huge butterflies in my tummy I took some home tests. Their results were very non-committal to say the least. A dark line is supposed to appear, bold and clear if the result is positive. A faint line did appear, very reluctantly. I wasn't going to find out so easily. We went/ rushed to the hospital, deciding not to get too excited till we knew for sure. They took a blood test. There was more waiting involved before we could know. Next day we did! YAY! I am gonna be a MOMMY!!!
