Our Grape-size Eskimo

Counting from the day of our five day embryo transplant, our due date would have been on the 30th of January. However, after our first ultrasound it showed that our new due date is on the 4th of February. So we are back to 9 weeks instead of 10 and now about the size of a grape, she or he is starting to look more like a human than an alien and the embryonic tail is completely gone by this time.  Its heart is starting to divide in chambers and its teeth are starting to grow from under its gums as well. Lots of changes are going on and in the coming months its tiny organs will develop and function better as it grows.

Gender
My soon to be farther-in-law said that he knows what our baby will be like. He said he apparently dreamt about it but he won't tell us until the baby is there.  Both my fiance and I want a girl and even our little man wants a girl as well.

"I want to have a baby sister so she won't bother me when I'm doing something."

So, will we have a girl or not? I feel like we are going to have a baby girl though, but despite the gender, as long as we will carry out a full term pregnancy and that the baby is healthy, that is for us what matters the most.

Scepticism

Although we are sceptical about how things will go with us, we or I most especially still tries hard to think and believe for things to go right.  I cheer me up by looking necessary baby stuff that we will need when the baby is finally there.

Messy home

Our home is getting messier by the day while the clothes to be ironed are piling up.  I registered to two home cleaning services already and so far we did not receive any reply from both of them yet.  

Home cleaning services in here costs about 9 euro per hour with government subsidies because it originally costs more and we will get 30% income tax return at the end of the year. How great is that? I get to spend more of my precious free time with my family.

Vacation
We booked our sunny summer destination already last March. But because of the hematoma, the doctor has still yet to decide if it is safe for me to fly or not.  We all look forward to it so the little man will be very disappointed if we won't be able to fly.

Thursday
Three more days after today and we get to see our tiny Eskimo again. I hope everything is okay with it still.
