Thump
The little heart is pumping in a strong and steady rate. We heard it loud and clear in the tiny office of our nice, doctor man. What a comforting sound it was.
Sometimes, though, I still feel a bit of resentment due to my abdication of any control over my body.
I spit saliva like a construction worker due to my excessive salivation. My appetite's gone haywire and I'm craving for weird stuff like chicken adobo with green peas. My stomach heaves with every unpleasant smell I encounter. My chest hurts when I hurl. I tire easily while walking short distances.
But hearing those thumps made it all worthwhile.
I should start enjoying this instead of griping most of the time.
Looking in your eyes I see a paradise This world that I've found Is too good to be true Standing here beside you Want so much to give you This love in my heart that I'm feeling for you
Let'em say we're crazy, I don't care about that Put your hand in my hand baby Don't ever look back Let the world around us just fall apart Baby we can make it if we're heart to heart
Chorus: And we can build this dream together Standing strong forever Nothing's gonna stop us now And if this world runs out of lovers We'll still have each other Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us now
Oh no
I'm so glad I found you I'm not gonna lose you Whatever it takes, i will stay here with you Take it to the good times See it through the bad times Whatever it takes is what I'm gonna do
Let 'em say we're crazy, What do they know? Put your arms around me baby Don't ever let go Let the world around us just fall apart Baby we can make it if we're heart to heart
And we can build this dream together Standing strong forever Nothing's gonna stop us now And if this world runs out of lovers We'll still have each other Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us
Ooh, all that I need is you All that I ever need All that I want to do Is hold you forever, forever and ever
(Guitar solo)
And we can build this dream together Standing strong forever Nothing's gonna stop us now And if this world runs out of lovers We'll still have each other Nothing's gonna stop us Nothing's gonna stop us now
And we can build this dream together Standing strong forever Nothing's gonna stop us now And if this world runs out of lovers we'll still have each other Nothing's gonna stop us now
Hey baby, I know, hey baby, nothing's gonna stop us Hey baby, woo hoo, nothing, hey baby Nothing's gonna stop us now yeah
Our baby's grown so big! From a mere 3.2 millimeter last July 07, s/he's now 6 centimeters! That's a whopping 2.36 inches! We can now see her formed like a kidney bean and she's moving a whole lot! Like those beans jumping in a box!
I thought for a second that the monitor was just fuzzy but the doctor said that s/he's the one moving. That's why I'm feeling those cramps every now and then...the little thing is having his/her own party inside me. =).
Well s/he's bored so she has to amuse her/himself while in there, right?
I'd post the sonogram here as soon as I scan it.
I can't wait for the 20th week...we'll know then if it's a boy or girl!!!!
I'm about the finish the first trimester (yay!). The nausea have considerably lessened but I'm salivating more and more the heartburns are getting worse especially at night. I still haven't gained any weight but that's about normal for the first trimester. Some of my clothes are tightening up around the waist so I'm mostly wearing loose shirts and slacks these days.
My bond with my family is stronger than ever. I feel well taken cared of by everyone. Even my future in-laws have been nothing but great.
I still hate the smell of fast food. Even their commercial makes me sick. I should drink lots of water but I hate its plain taste so I'm drinking lots and lots of juices. The sugar can't be good for me. I'm eliminating junk food from my body which sucks.
But I want to have a healthy baby so the sacrifices, I'd say, are pretty much worth it.
We already thought of names, both for a girl and a boy but I'm not hiding the fact that I really want a precious girl. I love my nephews but I've had enough of boisterous boys. So I'm crossing my fingers...
