My wife is 17 weeks pregnant

Hello Folks, my wife has now become 17 weeks pregnant today. She's still not with me as shes still in her hometown though I will be going over the weekend to bring her back. I'm so excited really. I just get to know about her development over the phone. And, I came to know that her weight is increasing at a rapid pace now. Technically, according to "www.babycenter.in", she may be gaining weight rapidly at this point, even if she did not been eating much. 

Experts say that the amount of weight she may put on during pregnancy is dictated primarily by her genes. Also, the baby's movements are felt as a gentle, fluttering sensation at first, but get stronger and more obvious as time passes.

I was even excited to learn an exciting fact that the baby is now nearly "5.5 inches/13 centimeters", and weighs approximately "5 ounces/140 grams". The skeleton is mostly rubbery cartilage, which will be hardened later. Also, more interesting was to learn that now I can listen to our baby's heartbeat using special stethoscope.

Countdown begins...16 days to go

Hello Nonu, Now, you are just 16 days away from the day when I will be holding you on my palms. What a great feeling it will be then! Isn't it? Me and your mother are really getting rejuvenated and excited when we think of that day. Now, its the time that we have been waiting for so long, almost nine months, to hold you on our palms. Soon, the day will arrive and you will be here with us and who knows you might even come on 25th i.e. the Christmas day. Your mother is really getting nervous and jittery when she thinks about the day of her delivery but I am trying to calm her down that everything will be fine because you haven't given us trouble so far and you wont do it then either. Isnt it, baby. I really feel excited when I feel you on your mother's belly and I do not know how will I feel when you will be in my palms. I dont really know whether you will be a boy or a girl but whatever will it be, I just want you and your mother to be absolutely fine. Though, your mother

My wife is 16 weeks pregnant!

Wow! how much exciting it feels that my wife is now " 16 weeks " pregnant. Though, I am not with her today as she is in her home town to visit her parents. It has been a month that she had gone there but I feel that she may be missing me. I am too missing her very much, and the baby inside her belly. The books that I have read so far have dealt with topics like I need to talk to the baby as he/she would recognize voice automatically once it comes out.  I am both super excited and having nervous breakdown simultaneously. It's an amazing feeling to become a father as you have another responsibility that will be coming to you. I am waiting for the day when the doctor will handover the baby in my arms. Now, I realize how our parents might have felt when we were born. It is the same feeling that I am having today. I will be giving few surprises to her when she comes back. I already have ordered for few posters of babies. In addition, I have even bought a small framed photograp

My wife is 20 weeks pregnant

Hi Folks, My wife is 20 weeks pregnant today. She can probably feel the baby move around inside her body. We are enjoying this experience, and I am especially talking to my baby because your " baby " can hear sounds now, and it will cover its ears with its hands if a loud sound is made or " jump " if it is startled. She is still not feel the movement, or it may feel just like butterflies or stomach rumblings. But, still, we are having butterflies in our stomach while enjoying one of the true joys of pregnancy. Well, one more interesting fact and that is our baby measures about 6.5 inches and 16.5 centimeters from crown to rump and is steadily gaining weight. A whitish coat of a slick, fatty substance called vernix caseosa begins to cover your baby and protects the skin during its long immersion in amniotic fluid. This will also ease out the delivery process. In addition to this, the baby bump is now slowly beginning to appear more clearly.
