Week Seven: Brown Spotting

 Dear baby I had a scare when I found brown spots on my underwear. Papa and I thought we were about to lose you. Imagine my relief when we went for a scan and there you were, your tiny self suspended in a space of nothingness on the ultrasound screen.  We've always loved you. We hope you will stay strong because we promise to be strong for you! XOXO Love Mummy

 Baby, I heard your heartbeat for the first time on an ultrasound on 26 July 2023! What a wonderful time it is for us! You're growing in my womb and the size of a sweet pea. We can't wait to see you soon. Papa was so excited he whipped out his phone to record a video of your tiny heartbeat. Dressed so handsomely in his work clothes, he wanted to accompany Mommy on her visit to the obstetrician at Lam Wah Ee Hospital so he could see you for the first time before making his way to his office. And it was a joy to see your little heart flickering like a star in the night sky. Oh, baby, you are the cutest thing!  Your Grandma in Singapore has promised to visit Penang with Grandpa when you arrive in March next year. Everyone loves you to bits.  How would I describe this feeling? It could be something similar to falling in love. I was exhilarated and giddy when I went on my first date with Papa. And now that you're joining our journey as a family, my heart is bursting! Baby, you&#

Week Four: Welcome to this world, baby!

On July 12, 2023, I made a fateful visit to a gynaecologist and obstetrician. I had missed my period and was experiencing cramps and mood swings. My doctor looked into my womb using a transvaginal ultrasound. The walls of my uterus seemed to have thickened considerably. Surprised, she collected my urine. Two strips emerged on the test kit, and my world shifted! This blog documents the journey of my pregnancy. How things will pan out, I do not know. I'm excited but also nervous. I'm growing a baby! To our baby, your parents eagerly await the day we meet. Mithy is excited. He snoozes next to me, and his dreams are filled with playing catch with you.
