Past the nine week mark with our pregnancy, and we haven't heard anything from Panama this week. I guess the saying is true " no news is good news". We likely will not hear anything until our 12 week ultra sound which is on February 16th. This will mark the end of our first trimester.
We are trying not to plan too far ahead since we are so early in the pregnancy but some days are harder than others like today... we ended up trading in Daniel's dream sports car (Genesis Coupe 3.8) which he has had for about 14 months, for a more family oriented SUV (Tucson GSL) where we can install a car seat in the back, as well transport every piece of equipment meant for a baby and then some. Was this too premature? We didn't think so....Daniel has always had it in his head that it would probably be extremely difficult for us to get pregnant, but once we are pregnant everything would be alright.
Even without thinking consciously about it, plans are starting to unfold within the depths of our minds about having a baby and what the future has in store for us, how will be design the baby room?, how will we afford all the payments to the hospital? What will our time down in Panama be like once we pick up the baby...so many questions and so much to plan.
I guess for us we are lucky because we are able to plan out everything ahead of time, know step by step what will happen and when, and even know months ahead when our c-section will be so we can be down for the delivery. We have been planning as far out as pre-fertilisation. We actually had to plan the exact date and time that we were escorted into a small sterile room, bad porn, and a collection container so we could give our deposit...this was where our babies life started. Romantic? definitely not!, but for us how our journey had to happen. Unlike most couples we have thought out almost every step of this process and now that we are pregnant, almost half of what we had planned has already happened...
We both look forward to the next few months, and welcome planning more for the arrival of our baby....
