First past the hurdle

I've been wondering for a very long time what would be a good time to actually reveal this blog and let the world know that I'm knocked up. There have been many times where I've been tempted to put an official link on my other blog and see how many people accidentally chance upon it. But I've always managed to dissuade myself from doing it. Part of the reason is because, like the good doctor kept warning us, the first trimester is the most dangerous time where the embryo (it's still considered an embryo at that point) can abruptly stop developing. It is why miscarriages are most prevalent in the first 12 odd weeks. So, because of that, we decided to wait. To wait till it gets relatively safer.

I still hesitate because it's never going to be fully safe till I hold the babe in my arms but then again and even then, things can (I hope to God they don't) still go wrong. But then again, because of the same uncertainty, I know that if I keep putting it off till it's fully confirmed that we're going to become parents, this blog will never go public. The kids could grow up, go to school, get married, have their own children and I could still possibly hesitate.

I eventually rationalized, rather than let the neurotic in me rule the day, I've decided enough is enough and we've told enough people already that it makes no sense to keep it a cyber secret. So here it is, the big life altering secret, 13 weeks and 2 days later...
