Week 7: The "K"

Unlike most parents who probably won't be thinking about the baby's name a few months from now, Mic and I actually had this part of parenting all sorted about 5 years ago since we first started to plan for a child, we had both a boy and a girl's name picked out. A bit silly I know, but hey, I guess that's what happens with two type-A parents who plans for everything -- little did we know the second part of the execution only comes five years later.

We discussed this weekend whether we wanted to know the sex of the baby before the birth. For something this important, I am not big on surprises, and plus, I don't want to refer to the baby as "it" for the rest of the time I am carrying "it" around, so it would be nice to know the sex, so we can put a name to the little one. And the names we picked out 5 years ago still stands the test of time, we still like them and will be going with them.

If you are wondering what the names are -- you'll find out in May 2011 to keep a little suspense for the audience. For the time being, it will be referred to as "the K" (pronounced "ke"), aka "the kid".

p.s. First doctor's appointment on Wednesday this week. Hope all goes well. I am a touch nervous and don't want us to get too much ahead of ourselves and too attached before we know the baby is fine, but hopefully the sign that I am feeling fine, eating and resting well is a good indication. It is strange how you can develop feelings for this little organism that consists of nothing more than a bunch of division of cells so early on, and certainly hope that we will continue to be able to love it for the rest of the 33 weeks to come before the final debut.
