365 China Photo: One-A-Day

Canthy has been pregnant for almost five months (23 weeks and six days), so time for another checkup and baby scan. This was the first time Canthy didn’t cry so it was not such an emotional experience as the previous scans have been. Canthy is becoming more comfortable now with her pregnancy and feeling more safe with the whole process. Nine months may seem like a short time but sometimes it seems to drag on and we wish things would happen faster. However, I think we will need the full nine months to get prepared, as we still don’t have the baby’s room prepared at home. My brother who has three kids told me not too worry, as newborn babies don’t really do anything. He said for first year or so they hardly move, so its not until they start crawling and walking you have to be more careful. Today on the scan the nurse showed us our little daughters face. Her tiny mouth was moving up and down like she was trying to talk to us. When Canthy saw this she got emotional and started to cry, but this time is was tears of happiness.
