My Little Bump

By now, most of you already know that I have a bump.

Yes, baby Deandre has been growing in my tummy for the past 6 months already. It will be the end of my 24th week tomorrow.

My hubby and I are probably going to name her Deandre, a name that means “strong and courageous”. The original spelling should be “Deandra” but my hubby’s English name starts with a “D and ends with an “E” so we decided to replace the “a” with “e”. Got it?

Here, I have to apologise and explain to my bowlers that I was actually prepared to go to Sunway Lagoon last December for the Milo Championship. However, my pregnancy was not stable then and thus, I was advised not to go on the trip by my gynaecologist (gynae, for short). I felt quite guilty about it. Uncle Mike knew the news before anyone of you did. Also, I had an important appointment with the gynae on the day they went for their CIP at MINDS so I could not go along too. I hope my bowlers do understand now why I was not with them. It is definitely not because I do not care about all of you.

I could not tell you the good news any earlier because I wanted to wait till I know the sex of the baby before I disclose the good news. So do pray and hope very hard for me that my little princess will grow healthily in my tummy for the next 3.5 months. I hope you are happy for me because my little one is coming, not because I will be away for 3 months.

Meanwhile, I just have to make do with an expanding body (which is making me very depressed!), poor appetite and water retention but the joy of Deandre kicking my tummy when Daddy reads to her at night makes it all worthwhile.
