Yesterday I had an appointment with the doctor and it was a special one. It was special because, I knew that I was going to see you for a long time and this is going to be the last time I get to see you before you are born. We knew that we were going to get to know if you are alright from head to toe. And, this visit was the most awaited one not just for me and for your dad, but also to your grand parents and uncles and aunts. Because we were going to know your gender.
And.... You are a Boy, a handsome one! We all three including your sister saw you play for half an hour when the ultrasound specialist was checking if you are fine from all the angles and all the body parts. You were absolutely perfect and we are all extremely happy. You were sleeping off in between and waking up kicking me, punching me, twisting and turning in that little bag! I could never get tired of seeing you and you looked like a beautiful little baby.
It was not difficult to find out your gender, you were sleeping in a favorable position. I could see that you are quite comfortable inside, you were enjoying the warm place, which is totally yours and now you don't have anybody to interrupt you nor to trouble you. But, don't get too used to it, you have only a few more months left to stay there and once you come out, your sister is waiting to trouble you! She is finding out new ways to pinch and hit day after day! She is good at slapping too!
But you looked so adorable and like a little miniature baby. From some angles, you looked like a skeleton too, but a cute skeleton! You didn't scare me because after seeing your sister that way, I was expecting to see you so. Doctor was measuring your length and you weighed 12 ounces.
I felt you move inside for the first time on 18th May 2013. But now a days, I get your kicks and messages regularly. I wonder how much food you eat! I am not willing to accept that it's I who eat. It's you making me eat so much - 2 breakfasts, 2 lunches, snacks in between and dinners. I eat like I have never seen food before and I miss all the Indian food! Feel like eating so many food items, every food I remember tempts me now and I keep looking at the Indian food websites and drool. Your sister does not let me cook much, though I try to prepare some with her playing in the kitchen and pulling out things and throwing them all over the place. But staring at those yummy pictures, imagining the taste and eating what I get here is quite fulfilling. So it's not so bad. Only problem is I feel very tired. Can't help it because your sister has not reached the age to understand it and give me less work. Also, we have to eat. So I can't escape from cooking and cleaning as well.
I have already started thinking about the names for you. One of my friends Amritha suggested the name "Advait" for you. I like the name but there are so many Advaits I have been hearing these days. Another name was suggested by your Shailatthe and that is "Aayu". But your dad is not so happy with the name. I have another name in mind which I kind of like now is "Anshu" or "Anshul". The first one means Sun and the other means unique. But I don't know if your dad will like the name. And your maternal grandpa has suggested a few names like "Lambodara", "Gana Nayaka" and some more which makes me laugh till I get tears! Let's wait and see what is going to be your name!
