10 Weeks and Sneak Preview

Today we get to see little Chamu for the second time. Even though it has only been two weeks, it felt like a long time to me. At the Doctor's, the nurse helped me weigh myself. 58.6KG! 1.5KG less than two weeks ago. The Doctor came in and asked if I have had difficulty in eating. Of course I did. She told me that I have to just eat whatever I can to maintain my weight (even if it means chocolate milk shake). I nodded but was thinking that it is a tall order since nothing seems to interests me when it comes to food.

Then the ultrasound session begin. Little Chamu has almost doubled his size since two weeks ago. Now measured at 3.2 cm long, he is 10 weeks and 1 day old. He is starting to looking like a baby with definite shape of head, body, arms, legs and even some early formation of fingers and toes. You can also see his spine. It is such an amazing sight. This baby is strong and healthy and that's why his mother is nauseous everyday...

The doctor tells me only two more weeks of this "all-day sickness" and in two weeks, we would come back again and should be able to see a even bigger baby with fingers and toes. I simply cannot wait.

We shared this wonderful news with some of our closest friends already because we just couldn't hold it any longer. Even though technically we should wait until the first trimester is over. Jaime spent the whole night trying to upload the ultrasound session to YouTube so we can announce this news to our family! But he couldn't get it to work somehow. I guess the news will need to be kept for one more day because we do want our love ones to meet Chamu too. He is truly a cutie!
