This is me 6weeks ago …..
Ok….It’s really early in the morning … hubby dearest is getting his beauty sleep by making an irritating noise aka “Snoring”, little furry boy is sleeping underneath the blanket and my little peanut (well not so little… as my pregnancy app says its a size of an acorn squash) is doing her thing which is moving around:) To be honest I can’t describe how weirdly beautifully it is to think that you are carrying a human inside you, it is the best feeling doesn’t matter how difficult it is to be carrying one…
Lets jump into the point now …. the day we found out we were pregnant we thought well ok no more junks from today only healthy/organic food and greens for me and baby which is expected right ? But trust me in reality it can’t be true … at least not for me. I will tell you why as we are living outside India which means no domestic help no maids or servants …(nobody will make me breakfast, morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack and dinner) we had to do everything by ourselves…so hubby dearest took over the responsibility (Yuss !)
Initially first 3 months my amazing husband did make me dinners and packed my lunches as I couldn’t be bothered because baby dearest was making me throw up all the time while she was busy troubling me I was so sick that all I wanted to do is sleep and die (Literally…Duh!) so I was left with no option so I had to make him cook … he did pretty good but trust me when my man decides to cook it is a Bloody Hell’s Kitchen (I mean to say legit HELL…) there is crockery, food, seasonings everywhere felt like we were in a busy commercial restaurant kitchen … then I had a quick think baby is almost 13 weeks growing well so lets get crazy saying that I was feeling much better rather than throwing up I was back to enjoy my food …. well then the great idea of takeaways came did a bit of research and found out you can eat takeaways while pregnant just make sure they are well cooked so guess why not ! Also for me there is only two people who can cook soulful home made food …….Of course me and my mother-in-law (yes that’s right I just said mother-in-law not my mother :p) so I decided to fire hubby dearest (from the kitchen) haha!!! and the reality started can’t be bothered cooking lets order …. but always double cheese burgers + fries way to go hehe
At the moment I am really getting big which means old clothes doesn’t fit anymore so time for shopping but reality is if I end up buying 2 or several sizes up what am I going to do after 2 months ! what if I decide to lose weight haha ???
And then I decided to get some maternity bras I thought it will be easy but god they have variety of options without any sexiness tho… so I got few and trust me even though they are ugly looking they are comfy 🙂 and then comes the best investment that I did so far my big fat pregnancy pillow if you are pregnant or planning to please I beg you you need one of those because it is the best thing plus there is no such thing as too many pillows while you are pregnant…. which also means you get extra sleep space oh yes!
Being pregnant comes with lots of responsibilites but in real life if your are busy professionals it does get real difficult to cope up so don’t worry I was paranoid before but now I am not as long as you are happy and eating well, baby is growing, you are good to go… I still complain about how I feel and how my body has changed but I always love the fact that its not me alone there are thousands of you out there who is going through the same phase so that keeps me going 🙂 Talk to mothers ask them different questions I was told by one of my friend and it did helped me to overcome the fact that I am not the only person in this world to feel like this…
and to those who just found out that they are pregnant hold on to it … you might feel terrible now with all those so called nausea and morning sickness but once you feel those little kicks and punches your life will be worth it ❤ trust me 🙂
Lots of love and well wishes
