Baby's first picture

Even though Feb is the shortest month in the year, this years seems like the longest. All the visiting, dinners, munchies and all things associated with CNY lead to a generally tiring and unhealthy month haha. The aftereffect as still going on as we still haven't finished the CNY goodies in my home.. It was throughly enjoyable having our first CNY as husband and wife, tiring yes but still enjoyable. Had a great time with our friends and family,gave out our first red packets, although next year baby Raphael will help us claim back a few.

We also managed to get the first look at our little Raphael's face, through his cooperation and the skill of our gynecologist Dr. Watt, it is still an ultrasound image but you are able to make out his little eyes and nose, lao p say he looks like me but I can't really tell haha. He's also getting more and more energetic and likes to kick my lao p alot, it seems like he likes to kick Xiao Fei and me when i try and listen in on his actions haha. I wonder if with a stethoscope my lao p will be able to hear him instead of just feeling his actions. Thank the Lord that our Little Raphael is growing big and strong, we are all eagerly waiting to welcome you to this world.

This month we got to see Raphael 2 times! Once was during the routine checkup, with everything normal and going swimmingly. Another time was during the detailed check up, there we got to see his brain! Albeit through the ultrasound. We also saw his little fingers, hand, humerus, femur and strong little heart. No wonder he's so active, he even has good aim with his little punches and kicks. I had my ear to lao p's tummy and he hammered me twice ha ha. We also had our reunion dinner with my family, my eldest cousin is getting hitched in Tasmania next year Jan, wonder if we have o go over heh, although there will be a wedding dinner to be held in Singapore, the church wedding will be there.
