My hubby and I have been either extremely lucky or blessed by God. Conceiving was unbelievably easy- we didn’t have to try. We just decided that it was time for our first baby and wham, I got pregnant on the first try. It actually took a while before I took a pregnancy test because I thought it was impossible for me to be pregnant so quickly. It was my colleague who had bought a home pregnancy test for me and all of us girls gathered ’round to see the result. I had mixed emotions upon seeing those 2 blue lines. The first was elation. I was so happy to be pregnant. The second was shock! How could I have gotten pregnant so quickly after being with my husband for 6 years and never using birth control? Peanut is really a blessing and I feel that I must have done something right at some point in my life to deserve this gift.
The reason why I am so grateful is because I have a few girl friends who have been trying hard to conceive and it has been a struggle for them. I have been very careful about talking about my pregnancy because I don’t want to hurt their feelings. My heart really goes out to them and I pray that they too will receive a gift as precious as being a mother.
We (hubby and I) are leaning towards the name Matthias. Hubby likes how it sounds and I like its meaning. The name means “gift of God”. I really think it is a very appropriate name for our little peanut.
p.s.
Our boss has the same name and for all of you who are wondering, No, there is no connection. We just really like the name.
This is the Peg-Perego skate. In my opinion, it doesn’t get any better than this. It’s a convertible stroller that can be used from birth up to 4 years old. It can convert from pram to buggy and you can have baby face you or face the world depending on your (or baby’s) preference. The coolest feature is that it is adjustable in height and is also telescopic. The only stroller I know of that can do this is the Stokke Xplory- but weighing the skate’s features against the xplory, there is no competition.
The skate’s seat converts from a bassinet (removable) to a normal telescopic seat that can recline 3-ways so baby and you can have a great view. The colours it comes in are also very nice.
Peg-Perego have outdone themselves with the skate design. I was torn between this one and the Bugaboo Camelion but after doing research, I found the skate to be far, far better.
I can’t really say much more as I haven’t actually seen or touched it but I have read many reviews. For more info look here and read the review here. I also know where to get one in Malaysia for RM 4,495.00. I f anyone is interested, let me know and I’ll give you more information.
My sister called me from England a few days ago..
Sis: ” You are having a girl?”
Me: “No… Peanut has a penis!!!” …..
She was so sweet to have bought baby clothes for little peanut. The problem is, apparently, she thought I was having a girl and had bought pink clothes. My poor sis has to go back to the shops and switch them into boy’s apparel. Bless her.
We are still not 100% sure about peanut’s sex. Hopefully we get a much clearer view next week during our doctor’s visit. I am praying that its definately a boy, otherwise one of two things might happen… My sister will either kill me… or the baby will have to wear clothes made for the opposite sex!
I went to SMC yesterday for my third doctor’s appointment with Dr. K. I asked the doc during the ultrasound if he was able to find out the sex of baby peanut already ( I am 16 weeks along). He asked me what sex hubby and I wanted. I said a girl and hubby said it didn’t matter. Doc started looking at peanut from different angles and said he could see a little penis! My first thought was “peanut has a penis”?!
I won’t deny that I was a little disappointed as I had pictured dressing peanut in cute little dresses and do her hair and do all the lovely things that girls do. I also thought that a little girl wouldn’t be as naughty as a little boy. Especially if said little boy would take after his daddy who was quite naughty as a child. Another huge reason is the fact that we can’t find any baby boy names that we like. Hubby told me to find an Italian sounding name that isn’t Italian! I can’t think of any. I must go and get us a baby names book now!
OK, I’ll admit that I am ranting a little but deep inside I am grateful for our little peanut who I believe is a gift from God. Boy or girl… I love my little peanut so much and I am sure that as soon as we see each other face to face it will be love at first sight penis and all.
