When it comes to the pregnancy, it's easy for me to utter the old saying 'it's a marathon, not a sprint' since I'm not the one who has to deal directly with the pain, nausea and mood swings that come along with getting knocked up.
This is the beginning of Helen's 12th week, meaning that she's almost done with her first trimester. That's good news since we've read that the second tri tends to be a little smoother than the first. So far though, things really haven't been that bad (again, easy for me to say.)
If one is superstitious, three months is about the time when it's ok to tell the rest of the world about the baby. But by now, it feels like quasi-old news to us, so I wonder if / when we tell others who don't know whether we'll have the same sense of excitement as when we first found out, sort of like Russell in the movie 'Up' ("But it's a TALKING DOG!") or if we'll be like, 'meh.'
Something that just came to mind. When our Audrey was in her 'babbling' stage (I'd say like 4 mos or so), sometimes, non-Asians would come up and say how adorable, etc and ask, "What is she saying?" Basically "what is she saying...in your language?" and I'd be like, "I don't know? I don't speak baby."
ReplyDeleteLol. I bet everyone came up to Aud and told you how cute she was!
