Seven Months
R is now seven months pregnant! I’m closer than ever to being a father, and can no longer put off the growing list of tasks that we need to complete before the child is due in June.
- Pick a name. We’re narrowing this down to a handful of both male and female since we’ve decided not to find out about the baby’s gender.
- Reading up on what to expect when she’s expecting.
- Go shopping for baby stuff (and what a lot of stuff that can be!)
- Attend ante-natal classes. We just attended the first session on Wed. Lots of exercises for R. She’s in good shape because she started early with yoga.
Our US Visa application has still not been resolved, so we are deciding to have the baby in Singapore. What was promised to be a few weeks formality is now more than six months (and counting). Unbelievable. It’s not the best outcome, but we have little choice. Besides, we have family and friends here and we look forward to sharing our joy with them.
I leave tomorrow for Sunnyvale, and hope to be back in time for Easter.
