*what beecube might look like right now at 6 weeks*

so beecube is really only about 4 weeks old. dr wong said that beecube is about 2mm right now. how tiny is that?! so i'm actually 6 weeks pregnant, not 8 weeks as thought previously.

2 weeks ago i was about 54 kg, today i'm 55kg!
so we finally saw something today!!
wot a relief!

compared to 2 weeks ago, there was really nothing.although we did know that it was way too early.

at least we saw the sac today! we saw the gestational sac! see that black hole there? its fluids, also the sac. we couldnt see the sac via the normal tummy scan, as my womb is tilted backwards, there was too much shadows cast, so vaginal scope had to be done.

well, the reason beecube is actually 6 weeks is probably cuz the egg was released much later, so conception was much later than the LMP (last menstrual period).

she pointed the yolk sac and said that there was a faint blinking going, likely to be the heartbeat, but it was not definitive as yet. but dr said it was an encouraging sign. if, at only 4 weeks of age, it was blinking, it really is amazing..

it was really an overwhelming feeling, seeing that light blinking on the screen.. like glowworm glowing in the dark cave. i couldnt tell u how fast my heart was racing.

its really is the beginning of a new, fragile life, created by the two of us.

i'm really touched by bee's enthusiasm along with mine. most of the husbands that i see at the clinic, just look kinda disinterested. i dunno, mebbe they were over the excited phase. but they were just sitting there, looking bored. and the couple dont talk much, just sit and stare into space. quite a few couples i met behaved like that. but we were talking, touching each others' arms.. and we would read baby books together. he would point out certain things to me.. and i feel really happy, that he is just as involved in this pregnancy and i never feel alone in it.

he looks into the type of food and nutrition that i need and say that he will get it for me cuz it will be good for me. i will be more interested in the graphics in the books, like how the tummy changes shape over the months and the giving birth process, cringing at the rude images of a head gorging out from down there.

i'm so glad he's back in sg now and no more sleeping alone, though i could really do with less of his loud snoring :P

when i went to the airport to pick him up last nite, his colleague saw me and immediately pointed at bee and gave me the "thumbs-up" signal. she continue to say that bee was very "ti3 tie1" (aka sweet and considerate) and that he is an excellent husband. heh.. my poor bee turned bright red and his poor ears were bursting with blood gushing upwards. heh.. so proud of u bee. and its so nice to hear compliments of him coming from a third party. :)

oh. forgot to add the goodies i got from him:
2 leather handbags, 1 hello kitty wallet and a pair of shoes. strange no brand sport shoes, but quality just as good as Nike's.

pictures will be up tmr!
