About the Babe…

On the road again, after a long long rest and recovery period. Truth is, it’s not that long. Almost 3 months. But to me, it seems like an eternity.

Think you should know by now that I am a person who cannot sit still. Am dreading my confinement period, which traditionally the new mother is not supposed to leave the house for one month. Well, we will see how that goes. Maybe I will be so tired recuperating and looking after the babe that I will be more than happy to just stay at home.

Oh, and I did promise you that I will tell you the gender of the babe. Well, what do you reckon? Any guesses? Any bets? Come on, don’t be shy… you have a 50:50 chance of getting it right… :)

Ready?

It’s (probably) a boy!!!

  

At the doctor’s office.

Me: So doctor, will we be able to find out the baby’s gender today?

Doc: Well, let’s try… Ooh… look what we have here. (moving the pointer to an area) I guess it’s pretty obvious ya? We shall keep it a secret between us.

Hubby has this smug look on his face. (Haha!)

At the end of the consultation…

Me: So doctor, just to confirm, it’s a boy right?

Doc: Well, from the looks of it yes. (smile) But these things can never be 100% confirmed until you are actually holding the baby in your arms.

Smart doctor. Covering all his bases.

If you are wondering if we have always wanted a boy or a girl, well… we really did not mind as we plan to have more than one child, but we did have this tiny weeny hope that the firstborn would be a daughter. But, knowing now that babe is going to be a boy, we are overjoyed as well.

I always believe that things happen for a reason. At least now, I can breathe a sigh of relief as the pressure of producing an “heir” (to appease older folks) is lifted. :)
