Nine Months

Yes, it was yesterday that i felt the first baby kick probably! Yippeee!!! I am so excited. I have read that kick might usually feel like butterflies or fluttering of gas in the stomach but i suppose to each her own. I felt that someone knocked my tummy from inside. It was 11.30 in the morning and i was trying to take a short nap when i felt the kick. For a moment i was surprised and then i realized it can’t be anything else. Just waiting for the days when i will experience regular kicks so that i can be satisfied that you are doing well inside me.

Also eagerly waiting for my next ultrasound on which a lot depends. It will determine whether my placenta has moved up or not. Only if it has i will be able to move around  more  freely. I am keeping my fingers crossed!

These days i think my little one is a little more hungry than usual as i immediately feel nausea and headache if i do not eat small meals regularly. Grow baby grow! Wanted to post my belly shot too but it has not been taken. So waiting for the next milestone. Love you baby!

The bed rest continues maybe for another two weeks. The headaches are too much to bear now with the restriction on medicines. Baby, u are doing fine, i know. It’s only my state of health which is worrying and putting me into depression sometimes. I have been leading a pretty hectic life and since last three months everything has come to a halt. I am dreaming of the day when i am out of the bed performing my daily activities with ease. I sincerely wish that my marginal placenta previa is corrected on its own and i do not have to take as many precaution as i am taking now. Looking forward to the next ultrasound when i will get to know this. This u/s would be in early October. So i have to patiently wait till then. I am happy that the spotting has subsided now. It was terrible to see the spots. Next time i will also ask the doc about the baby’s heartbeat. According to old wives tale, if the heartbeat is high (160 - 180) then it is a girl, and if it is low (140 - 160) it is usually a boy. Mine was measured 165 in the early ultrasound and in the last one it was 139bpm.

Hello baby…how are you doing…must be enjoying kicking around in my tummy. I know that you are the size of an apple and more than eleven weeks old. We are soon going to cross that crucial three months threshold. You freaked me out some days back with the bleeding episode, but now it is confirmed that I have a low lying placenta and this problem if controlled will not harm you my sweetie pie. I am on complete bed rest. Six more weeks off from work. Recently I had an intense urge to return soon to work – a mood swing I would say, but then on cooling down I found myself guilty that I should not force myself into work now. Motherhood was what I was pining for all these years. Finally that time is here. A was just speaking to a friend of mine and she said “You should be proud, you are living every girl’s dream.” How true!!

I am already feeling so special with all the attention on me though I know that these would be my last attention grabbing months before you are born. Then you would be the cynosure of all eyes. And if we are blessed with a baby girl, then even more so. Your mama wants a girl but I feel whatever it is we would be more than happy to have a healthy child! Your dad is right now taking utmost care of your mom. Everyone in the family is waiting for your arrival. Grow baby grow!!!
