initial part of life...

a person's life starts since she is in the mummy's womb. that's when chinese starts counting a person's age. when a baby was born, they start with age 1. pretty make sense as life in the womb is as long as 40 weeks.

that's the initial part of ian's life...

i can still clearly remember all the talking, all the reading, all the hug..hug.. when ian is still in my womb. every movement he makes. they are all so wonderful. that's the beauty of pregnancy where only i can feel but papa can only listen.

we are so excited with each checkup as that's when we get to meet ian. still remember that we will tell him that we are going for checkup and we are going to meet him. everyday we count days for the next checkup. i keep track all his growth each checkup - date, weeks, weight. all the scan print out are so precious. we will take them out to look once a while. we really treasure them. worry that it will fade off, i scan all of them into soft copy.

actually that's ian's first photo. he was capture in these photos when he was in my womb. that's why we keep them nicely. you will never be able to get them back. just like every single photo that we take now. this is ian's scan at week 16...


went for a detailed scan at FMGC at week 23. they burn us a cd of some soft copy of the scan. how wonderful! it also consist of an avi file that captured ian's movement in my womb. it will be great if it comes with sound - ian's heart beat. we heard it there but not included in the cd.

look at ian's little feet...


this is how ian look when he is in my womb at week 23...


as ian grow bigger we can hardly see him from the scan. but we still request for a scan print out from doctor. the last one we got at week 35. however, few weeks later ian was born. he was born around 2 weeks earlier. he knew that we are eager to meet him. he is too.
