"Honey,My test is positive"
Words that mean a world,words that mean sleepless nights,words that change a world,given that some couples might be taken by surprise,some in shock and awe (what with all the unexpected things that happen ;) ).
Anyway this was a first time for me.Dude,this was a surprise to me... a real pleasant one.The next moment one feels special and different.It is only now that the actual fun starts.Calling parents,sharing the news with closed ones,a doctor visit followed by donation of wife's blood to the laboratory,anxiously waiting for the lab results etc...Reams and reams of advice from all over pours in ..Things to eat,things not to eat/do..Apprehensions,anxiety are at their peak..Someone as lucky as my wife would puke their way till the 24th week.As a bonus she was repellent to any smell emanating from cooked food/food under preparation.
Thanks to science and technology ,ultrasound is super cool.It was an experience in its own to see the baby in the womb for the first time.As time progresses ,its time to shop for the new born.I got a list of things to shop for the new born from my friend who just had a baby.
The first thing one will notice is that the list is HUGE :) .I am pretty impressed with the attention to details in preparing this list(Thanks to the original compiler of the list).
