5th Month: Mumbai, July 2008

Dr. Coelho recommended NM Medical for 4D scan at Linking Road, Bandra. This scan was mother of all scans, that we have had seen till now. We could actually see our baby’s spinal cord, which was very well developed with other organs. Chetan almost started jumping out of his sitting and started disturbing Dr. with loads of questions. He was so curious and I was so happy seeing him like this. After eating ice creams and pastries, we did another round of scan, to see baby’s expressions. It was a blisssssss!!!!!!

I don’t know how but Chetan said it’s a boy. Now lets wait and watch.

As the days are passing the love for our baby is just growing day-by-day and I am sure it will continue to grow.

In mid-July, we planned for a weekend trip to Lonavala. It was lovely morning, we started our day by 8am, it was drizzling and finally away from City’s traffic, Chetan could actually enjoyed driving at 100km/hr. We called just dialed and booked Orchard resort, which was nice and we had great time resting, lazing, talking etc. These days we only discuss about our baby.

After a week when Chetan was at work and I was alone, I had a terrible fall in the bedroom and I was unable to reach anyone and I was so scared for the baby that I have no words to describe it. I had no pain but still I got up and rested for few hours then spoke to Chetan, he immediately rush home. That night I had terrible pain in my abdomen and I was restless. To make me feel better, Chetan took me downstairs for a walk at 12:30 in the night and then took me for a small ride. We came home and went off to sleep. After few hours again the pain started. Next day he took holiday and we visited Lilavati Hospital. Doctor said everything is fine and she put me on medication. I still remember how scared we were for our baby.

During monthly up, doctor said our baby is progressing well. I had start gaining weight. This month onwards, I stopped wearing jeans, denims etcL. I was not able to fit into in clothes.

But baby’s movement and kicks were the most awesome feeling. It used to make me feel so proud and good that I am holding a tiny little life in my womb. This feeling is incredible.
