Confession time. Prior to this post i have given much thought as to how i was gonna reveal baby's gender to you as, you know, baby gender reveal is kinda like a 'thing' now. But the more i thought about it, the more inclined i am towards the idea of keeping it simple and straight forward simply because the method in which the announcement is made does not determine the amount of love we have for baby. And...it's also because i had zero idea on how to do it the hipster way. Hahahaha.
And so we actually found out about baby's gender a month back. It was a surreal experience. We went for our check-up without expecting to find out about the gender because we know sometimes it takes a few more check-ups before the baby decides to show us the PP (private part). But for some strange reasons, #lildotdot was really open about it. Like, literally opening up to us. HAHA. So here it is! Baby's gender reveal:
LILDOTDOT IS A.....
BOY!!
...as you can tell from where the cursor was pointed at. Hahahaha. Yes, that's the bird-bird. So now you know what i meant by 'open'. And i think that's him putting his arms behind his head chilling while we invade his privacy. Lol.
Look at that lil' round head and very peaceful-yet-cheeky chubby grin! Aaah. How is it humanly possible to fall in love with a black and white ultrasound image?! We can't wait to meet you in person, baby! Thank you for revealing your gender to daddy and mummy this soon because now mummy can do more intentional shopping. Hehe.
Bump update: Week 21
It was exceptionally hard to get outta bed this morning, i'm not sure if the 1st trimester fatigue is back, but i do feel i have less energy compared to the past few weeks. I hope this doesn't mark the end of my 'honeymoon' period – whatever that means. I must say that being a pregnant working person has its fair share of challenges. The world still runs as usual while you start to feel (and look) more and more like a whale with a human being growing inside of you. There are mornings i wake up feelin' so fresh, ready to take on the world. While there are some other mornings where i'd wake up feeling like a big bloated fish. But nevertheless, i'm grateful for the CNY break where i got to sleep in, spend time with friends and families, binge watch the final season of Narcos (to which i'm now waiting very impatiently for season 4 to be released), slot in evening walks at the park and even blog! It's been a good break. We're going for a detailed scan of baby next week and we can't wait to see how much baby has grown!
Till then, happy chinese new year all!
