A week is a long time.

When she is pregnant, she is never really asleep. She has a continuous task. She keeps making the baby. It has been just about three weeks since my last post and so much water has passed under the bridge. For a starter, the baby has doubled in size. So, a small lemon has now grown into a peach - from 1.5 inches to 3 inches. Think of it this way. If you were 6 feet on the new year eve, by the 15th of January you would be the size of a baby elephant. Now that is called growth! Presidents! Economists! Pay Heed!

So much has happened in the past few week that this post is more a diary and sharing exercise than anything else. Let me recall what all happened around pregnancy and around issues around pregnancy and stuff around those issues that are issues around pregnancy. We will begin with the most exciting things first! 

We.. ahem.. SAW .. the baby for the first time. I was excited. My reaction was purely physical - tremors in body, heartbeat rate up, and a muffled shriek of joy. Soon, the technician in me kicked in, and started fiddling with the ultrasound controls, which wasn't met with appreciation by the Doctor. I could see two tiny hands, something around legs, and the right hand of the baby was going up and down in a swimming-dancing combined mix. I declared that the baby is a dance lover. We kept watching the baby. My wife did nothing for a while. She was mesmerized, and then, she did what she did. She cried. This is that moment when I struggle hard. 

We had a lot of samples taken for further tests and stuff. Tonnes of infections to rule out are being listed out. She is taking it all in her stride or they are taking it all in their stride. Life is good and God is in heaven. We were excited that only a couple of days later, we would have the high resolution ultrasound. The remaining part of the day was declared a holiday, a nice lunch was had in an amazing restaurant, and she and I kept dancing just as our baby did when being pictured.

I am already so emotional that I have to wait before writing further. Signing off, dancing!
