Journey with You

Wow, it’s been a while since I posted my last journal here. The main reason is that I’ve been feeling so sick and wasted all the time that I am lacking of energy even getting up from the bed. It must be nice to be a house wife when you are pregnant. 8 hours at work everyday is like forever!! I don’t even feel cooking anymore. (That’s not good, is it?)

I took a trip to NYC to visit one of my best friends just before the New Year. Flights were all screwed up and I didn’t get to the hotel until 2 o’clock in the morning. I was sooooo tired. Thank goodness that my friend was pretty easy going and I got to sleep in when I was there. We went to MoMA and a famous mystery bookshop I’d always wanted to go to. Of course, we had a satisfying dinner in Chinatown. On the New Year’s eve, my flight was delayed for an hour and I was finally back home around 11pm, just in time to do the count down with my hubby.

I finally got my first sonogram yesterday. It was a WONDERFUL experience. I was so nervous beforehand. When I finally saw our little one on the screen, I was so deeply moved and I cried. Hubby did come with me but I couldn’t see his face because he was sitting behind me. The baby measured 8w3d with a strong heart rate of 180 BPM. My due date is now August 17, 06, which is fine with me. She also saw a cyst at my left ovary and said there is nothing to worry about but they will monitor it. Hubby asked her about intercourse and spotting issues and she was really helpful. Anyway, I am just so happy and excited to get to have the first photo of my little one. He/she looks so tiny and so cute!!!
