We are going to have a "Golden Pig"!

For some of you who have been wondering whether I am or I am not, this will confirm your speculations. Yes, I am pregnant (3 months) and my estimated delivery date is 1 Jan 2008! The baby came as a pleasant surprise when I discovered my pregnancy on an early morning of May 3. (We like to think he/she is a "gift" from Italy) When you are celebrating the New Year, we will be celebrating the arrival of a new family member. :-)
(Hmm.... I wonder if companies in Denmark have the practice of giving newborns on 1 Jan any sponsorships).

Although the earlier periods of pregnancy did bring about some horrible mood swings and occasional morning sickness, I am glad that I have overcome that and I can only say everything feels great now. Going back to Singapore for two weeks to "reconnect" with the 3 Fs (ie. family, friends and food) seemed to help a lot. Having friends who are also mommy-to-be makes it easier as I have someone to talk and share my experiences with.

I used to think we are not ready to start a family as bringing up a child seems to involve so much time, efforts and sacrifices. Even til now, I still have some doubts about our abilities every once in a while. However, they will disappear whenever I look at the photos from the ultrasound scans because the affection for the little human being growing inside me is so strong that nothing else seems to matter.

Right now, priorities for us have changed and the main focus is for me to have a healthy pregnancy so that in six months' time, we can look forward to meeting our happy and chubby baby!
