A little life





Well, life throws up lovely surprises and one of them is that I’m pregnant. I waited for a while to share this news as there were many people in my life I wanted to inform personally before sharing it through my blog. And now, here it is!

I’m a mother-to-be!

Our yet-to-be-born baby’s 19 weeks old and we just can’t wait to see Reuel. Yes, that’s the name we’ve got for now. Reuel is a Hebrew name that means ‘friend of God’. We’re still hunting for a middle name. That’s ‘cos we want our child to have a name derived from our roots – this beautiful, colorful, multi-cultural land we call home, India.

Each week we read about Reuel’s rapid growth and can’t stem the excitement. And of course, we eagerly look forward to that day when we get to see and hold our baby in our arms.

To help track our baby's progress, I found a cute tracking tool from http://pregnancy.baby-gaga.com. And here's how far our little one's grown:



This is to let all our friends know how long before our baby’s born.
