Meet Jeremy

It's been twenty three days today since we first met our beautiful little baby boy, and the most amazing twenty three days at that.

Labour started on the 12th morning (3 days before our official due date) at 5:30am when my water broke and 23 hours later we welcomed little Jeremy Ashish George into the world. He was born at 4:35am on March 13th 2013 at 3.5 Kgs, 21 inches long and came out with a head full of jet black hair :)

Our first time holding him was beautiful.. Watching him watch us... And he is a very talkative baby, has the cutest little voice :)

We were discharged from the hospital on the 14th evening but had to go back to check on his jaundice levels the next day. Unfortunately, it went up so he was admitted.. Poor baby had to spent about 12 hours under the light.. his jaundice went down and he was discharged the next evening. Since then, he's passed his birth weight and is doing great :)

He is as amazing as he is cute and were head over heels in love with him. 23 days jus flew by and I've enjoyed them so much even through the exhaustion.. Of course it helps that I have the greatest husband on earth :)

I now totally get what people meant when they said 'enjoy your sleep while you can' :)

Almost there!

We're almost at the end! 38 weeks down, 2 to go.

I was hoping the little guy would want to make an early appearance (considering 37 weeks onwards, you're considered full term and baby's just putting on weight then onwards).

All i can report for now is Braxton hicks which are getting more frequent and slightly more intense (not painful yet). Doctors appointments are weekly now and he says everything looks good, but i was hoping next week to check for dilation and effacement (i'd be really disappointed if i haven't progressed at all).

Baby's doing great. Just chilling.. surprisingly active, for the amount of space he has in there.. Of course, those little kicks and punches are pretty painful these days.. I'm getting beat up from the inside. But i've gotta say, after he is born, i'm going to miss the kicks, punches and hiccups and watching my belly move around and shift shapes.

I'm pretty anxious to have him in my arms and having baby stuff lying around the house isn't helping! Ahhh, hopefully, this week.

Hospital bag all ready and sitting right by my bed in case I think of something else that needs to go in.

Hopefully i'll have big news next week!
