8 months...2 more months to go!

Just wanna record this down before I rest for the day...

1) Had my growth scan today, bb seow is growing well. :)

Went into the ultrasound room and I told the sonographer: Can help me see girl or boy? Within a minute of scanning, she pointed to the screen and said: "It's a girl, see...so obvious." I didn't really see what she was referring to but I was so so so happy. Not because it's a girl...but it's the joy of knowing, finally. She went on scanning, measuring this and that. Went to see my gynae after the scan and she just said: everything's good. Bb's growth, bb's position, my placenta, weight of bb, my belly size etc...everything's the way it is supposed to be. I was so so so relieved. Sometimes, I can't help but imagine things and got worried. When bb's not moving that much, I get worried too. But now, I sort of understand bb's routine so I don't panick that much. Bb wakes up quite late so usually she will be in action in the afternoon and night. When I sleep, she sleeps with me so she seldom wakes me up in the middle of the night. :)

2) I have thought of bb seow's name during the first few months of my pregnancy. I assumed then tt it bb's a girl. I did try to think of a boy's name but it was more difficult so I gave up.

I asked myself: what are my hopes for bb seow? what kind of person I want her to grow up to be? Of course I wish for her to be healthy, safe, happy...but besides all these, I want her to be a person with a good heart. Hence I am most probably naming her Teresa 萧乐善.

Teresa: partly because of Mother Teresa. Btw, Teresa means harvester or summer which seems good too I did get some negative feedback about the name (like it's quite 老土) but...I might just stick to it cos I can't really think of another name which I like...

乐善: You can interpret it as 快乐善良 or read it as the first half of 乐善好施...For me, it just came to me naturally. Of course, I did think of other names but somehow or rather, this name just stick to my mind. It is not exactly very 顺口 but we'll see...

I really look forward to the day I tell her why I gave her this name.

And...wj has started to address bb seow as Teresa. :)
