Pre-parental

How excited we are to hear that we are going to have baby, and when i see the USG pictures I almost cry, can't believe that I'm going to be a dad soon. Well being a parents (mom and dad) is not that simple, and there is this period which I called Pre-dad and Pre-mom or we can called it pre-parents. Just like we are having a pre-test in our school examination period, I think God designed this period to prepare us for the upcoming parental period. Which period that I'm talking about?

I'm talking about the 38 weeks period of pregnancy. If you are a parents, you should know about this. In pregnancy time your wife will suffer a lot of changes, especially in the first trimester. The first common thing will be morning sickness. I don't know why they called it morning sickness, cause in our case, the nausea feeling is almost anytime. Morning, noon, and even at night when you are sleeping. The nausea has so many effect, firstly you will feel much more sensitive to any smell. In my wife's case, she can't smell the kitchen and the refrigerator...therefore she can't go to the kitchen and the kitchen door has to be closed at all time. And also she can't cook anymore, therefore I have to cook.
I myself can't cook at all, but now I have to. The first thing I learn is to cook rice...hehehe..I know all you have to do is to put the rice on a rice cooker, but I don't know how much water required. Secondly is to fry egg. Now I can already make fried chicken, chicken soup, potato cake (perkedel).
Last Saturday we went to check up on our baby condition again. This time we can hear our baby's heart beats, and it grows from 1.2cm to 1.36. Now we can almost see the head and body's shape, but we can't see the sex yet. Anyway, we have prepared some names for baby boy or girl. But when times comes we will decide which one to choose...Well, I was actually hoping for a twin though..:D
