The little human inside of me

December came. My stomach was becoming more visible by the day but I am still able to hide it with my thick jacket which I always wear even inside the class. No one still suspects anything yet. I told one of my classmates and she's been discreet about it but I know that the day will come where I won't be able to keep everything to myself and will be forced to tell everyone especially my teachers about my situation. I just hoped that they'll know after I have given birth and after school is finish. But that's not how it will happen because I was to give birth in May and school won't end until June. Still I continue to go to school and do my best. Waking up at 5 and getting myself ready for school has become dragging but I always find a way to encourage myself to go to school each day.

07 December - my first prenatal visit to the gynecologist. She did an ultrasound and for the first time, I saw the little human inside my stomach. It didn't really look like a human being yet but I can see the spine and the head so well. The hands and legs were still so small and underdeveloped. I wanted to know if it was a girl or a boy. I hoped it would be a baby boy but for Nick, what's important is for the child to grow normally. Since I was almost 5 months pregnant, it was already possible to know the baby's sex. And like what I hoped it would be, I was told that I will have a baby boy and he's growing normally inside my tummy.

We went home happy that day.

Take note: Never laminate an ultrasound photo! It will turn all black and you will lose the picture. Because I laminated this and a few photos and they all turned to black. This is probably stupid but I had no clue that the end result would be like that. Thankfully I scanned the photo first before laminating it.
