Engagment Anniversary!

Today is the anniversary of the 7th year that Pishi and I celebrate our engagement! 7 years ago Pishi proposed to me in a very romantic way. He made a ring our of flowers and filled his apartment with lit candles and flowers and bought my favorite food for dinner. He took my hand and went down on one knee and popped the question. I said yes and I remember vividly that we both started crying out of joy and hugged each other. This affection and hugging hasn't diminished since then.

We are set to go for our baby moon, in the last week of November. This time we are going to Jamaica. Hopefully there would be no Hurricanes or rains so we can relax and store Vitamin D for the rest of the year!

I am at week 19 now and there is an Ultrasound scheduled on Tuesday. We are eager to see if we can find out if our baby is a boy or a girl. The sex of the baby doesn't really matter, I pray for a healthy and happy baby! Although I like to have a daughter but I can see that both physiologically and sociologically, it is better to be a boy than a girl. So for the baby's sake, I think it would be better to be a boy!

Last night we went to Toronto Symphony Orchestra to listen to a number of Beethoven's tune and also enjoy Spanish Opera. The first portion of the program was peaceful, after the break, the Spanish Opera and fantastic Flamingo dancer excited us. The excitement was to the extent that Pishi and I felt our baby's first movement!

Thinking of all the things that this baby has to learn is overwhelming but at the same time, I can't wait for this baby to set foot on this earth and we show and teach him/her all the life skills and develop his/her talents and see how they flourish. I can see now that as I progress in my pregnancy I feel more excited to meet him/her although the birth part really is freaking me out!

I have started going to gym and I feel myself again and started enjoying different get together. Every weekend is going to be busy before our trip. Next week is the baby show and we are planning to go with my parents to see what it has to offer.

I feel much relaxed in general, work is moving well. It is exactly what I looked for, it is much more relaxed with higher title and pay! I thank God everyday to have presented this opportunity to me during my pregnancy! I should also to say that part of the relaxation is due to never ending support of Pishi. His love and excitement of meeting our small one and him taking care of me in every way fills me with great strength.
