Wow, half way through already. This pregnancy is going way too fast!
Went for my monthly checkup and scan last week and it seems that baby Made is a BOY! Doctor repeated several times that it wasn’t 100% certain but it looked pretty clear from what I could see and he wrote the symbol for male in my medical notes too. In any case, we’ll get confirmation when I go back next month.
So yay! I really would have been happy with another girl too but I know Made wanted a boy and this means I get to do some shopping! Although I’ve been very disappointed with the range of baby boy clothing so far apart from the really expensive scandanavian labels. I’ve already bought a couple of bits from H&M on ebay though and my mum has been shopping too. I didn’t get much unisex stuff for maya (the stuff I do have was all presents so thanks everyone for being more sensible than me!).
At a bit of a standstill on names. I still really like the boys name we had picked out for Maya but Made has gone off it and says there are only 2 names he likes, both of which are Balinese, long and sound ridiculous to my english ears. I have come up with a list of lots of alternatives but he’s refusing to consider anything else for now. Sigh! I just want a name that is short, easily pronouncable and won’t be too out of place in the uk, preferably with Hindu/Sanskrit origins. He is not willing to compromise so far!
I’ve been feeling movements for the last week or so – I’d forgotten how faint it starts out! no doubt he’ll be kicking me to pieces soon enough though. My jeans have reached the uncomfortably tight stage so i’m going to have to dig out all my maternity clothes. Skirts are still ok for now though luckily. At my checkup I’d put on 4kg in the last month! although not that suprising considering the amount I’ve been eating – i’m constantly starving and usually have 2 breakfasts.
No boy bits photo this month (i will ask for one next time) so here is a freaky alien baby instead!
