Numero Uno

Our first post about our first child - Carly Jing Weingaertner.
There is she ..in the belly on the right to be precise :) waiting to come out some time in early May.

The first baby is definitely the most anticipated and for us, this is certainly true because we had been trying for so long and the treatment we had to go through to arrive at this current juncture was physically and emotionally draining. We are not going to blog about that whole experience but J & I figured that with friends and family scattered all over the world, its the best way to keep everyone updated with what's going on.

Hence the title 'Ca-Jing!'...a play on Carly's name and the sound when someone strikes precious gold.



We have 35 days to go before our baby jackpot arrives and the excitement has given away to apprehension and uneasiness that all first time parents must feel. The normal third trimester symptoms are well documented..I dream a lot more, get leg cramps and swollen feet. The good bits are that I get plenty back rubs and foot massages...ah heaven!

But what do husbands think about the whole process while their wives undergo the metamorphasis? Two that stick out so far....

1) The normally unflappable J, upon seeing my tummy contort by Carly's movements, screamed "AAHHHH ALIEN" and proceeded to bury his head in the pillow for the next few minutes.
Real cool J.

2) In a moment of affection, J turns to me in bed and says " You're my Udder"


What am I to make of all this? You decide...
