Somehow, it doesn't feel like how everyone makes it out to be.

I'm not jumping for joy...
I'm not taken unaware with a shock...
I'm not itching to go let everyone know...
I'm not worried and afraid of the unknowns ahead...

...if anything, I'm relieved and just somewhat satisfied... for now.

All set !!

Looks like our visit to the doc for a scan yesterday already got things going. "The baby's better off outside than inside at this stage" was the verdict judging from the progress of placental calcification. One last check around the house for baby-readyness and we're all packed. Yes it's a beautiful Sunday, and even the cot is all set up with Softy-pede and Magi-raffe anxiously awaiting their new mate.

Anytime now

Routine check, 3 weeks to actual due date.
It seems some "calcification" has started showing up in the placenta as seen in the scans. Doctor says, "Come back next week for another scan. If there's more, he'll have to come early... unless he already makes an early exit even before next Saturday's check. Here's the letter of admission just in case."

Oh! Panic! What to do? We'll have to start packing already!

As big as it gets

3rd April 2010 (2nd month)
23rd July 2010 (5th month)
17th Oct 2010 (8th month)

We chose a backdrop that we thought would not change throughout our pregnancy but as it turns out, some furniture movement had already happened a week before the 3rd shot, so the corner stand and plants moved away from the wall corner slightly. To get a continuous comparison with the growing plant, we changed standing location by a few feet.
