Our Bundle of Joy



I am back after a looong hibernating period .... But I'm not alone this time. To be more precise, we are awaiting a "bundle of joy" to join our family :) Yes, I am expecting and I must say it feels really great !!!
I am in my 22nd week now and I and my body have gone through a lot of changes already. It is fascinating to see the various stages of a baby's growth. God is really an awesome creator !! He's taken care of everything. Right from the beginning there is life ... even though it might be very minute to the eye. But it is there, a small heart beating along with yours in your body... wow. Initially, I couldn't really make out the developments. But slowly slowly changes are happening. My appetite started increasing, as did the circumference of my tummy. And then a month or so ago, I noticed an increased action inside my stomach which I initially mistook for the sounds of digestion. I have realized now, that it's my little one,moving its arms and legs instead. This noticeably happened on a Sunday evening while we were attending church service. The priest that day was very loudly exclaiming something, and I got some nice kicks inside. So far we have gone for 3 scans, and each time it was a wonderful moment to see that little one is doing greater and greater everyday.
And the nice thing is that I'm not the only one on the way to motherhood - some of our friends have joined the club too.
So here we are, almost half-way through ... Will keep you updated on this journey !
