First Month

Maa! I am so so so sorry to trouble you so much. I feel so sad seeing you tired because of me. And don't even ask about the nausea. It really pains my heart to see you in this state.
Speaking of heart, I can feel mine beating now. I am growing slowly. My eyes are yet to develop though.Third Month

Maa! You can feel me move now. Yay! I am sorry for kicking so much in the beginning. I was just excited when you told Papa that you could feel me kick. It was the first time you actually felt my presence which made it a very special moment for me. I can't wait to see you and Papa with my eyes.
Speaking of Papa, I had a teeny tiny doubt. Why was he so angry when the doctor uncle said that I am a girl?
Also, why was the doctor uncle different this time and why did he come to our home? We usually go to the hospital naa.Maa! Papa!
I am with Bhagwaan Ji (God) now. Did I trouble you so much that you had to ...?
