3 more weeks… Feels forever

unnamed

Oh well I can’t imagine how fast time is flying I am on my last month and all ready to pop but now it feels like I have been pregnant forever… sorry for being a complete slacker by not writing any blogs for the last 5 weeks because I was just feeling “MEH” :p To be honest I am just tired of being pregnant now I want my little wee girl to make her arrival *Blush* ❤

Last few weeks have been really hard by saying that I mean… I am carrying a full size baby and she is all squeezed in my tummy making me really hard to breathe all her tiny kicks and punches are now big wiggles and roll overs *How exciting* but I feel heavy and lazy 24/7 my bathroom runs are now about 15-20 times a day since she has engaged my urge to pee is unstoppable, I am unable to roll over sides at night takes me good 1-2 minute to do so, my husband ties my shoe laces (whoop only happens when you are pregnant :p) you can imagine how Pregnant I am now……Life is very different when you are pregnant specially with the first one as you have no idea what’s happening but I am pretty sure you become a Pro after your first one 🙂

To be honest one think I am not sure if i like -” baby hiccups”… it makes me really uncomfortable …how weird is it when you think about it? It goes on for few seconds I always try to make a video but oh boy that little girl inside me is too smart she will stop once I get my phone ready to make a video. (Maybe she is camera shy just like her Daddy 🙂 God Knows x)

As of now baby girl’s nursery is half way through ready I have got a big basket of washed clothes that I need to fold but I have been procrastinating for the last 2 weeks … God help me please! I also feel her whole wardrobe is full of Pinks does that mean we should name her Pinky??? but I am pretty sure she will hate us forever if we call her “Pinky” saying that naming a child can be very difficult … trust me its been almost 9 months and we are still confused … wish we could ask her :p ….

This week I have officially started my maternity leave which means I am suppose to get everything ready for baby and do some nesting … all I am up to is eating and sleeping “Gosh what’s wrong with me” saying that I am keeping active too – still driving like a pro to the mall , walking inside the mall, getting pedicure and manicure done(as I can’t see my own feet or paint them myself, well my dearest hubby did tried ones to clip and paint my nails but it was a disaster so better keep him away from this jazz) haha and ya watching netflix – Feels like I am on school break – but with lots of body and leg cramps as they are all perks of being pregnant x

Saying that my whole routine will change in just few days as I am pretty sure babies always make you sleep deprive 😦 and so many other stuff too but I can only tell you once I experience it.

My best friends threw me my baby shower 2 weeks ago which was amazing I felt so loved and my baby girl was so spoilt with lots of presents … I had lots of fun and I couldn’t stop thinking that yes it’s about time now I am going to be a full time mother everything is getting so real x

As of today I have promised myself to get everything ready by next week and also secretly hoping to have her by next week so that I can smash some prawn and salmon sushi and of course some champagne x

Thank you for reading 🙂

Hope everyone is keeping warm x

Lots of love and kisses xx

Reality is better than expectation

thumbnail 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

Being pregnant is Easy – NOT AT ALL

So its now 11:08am on the 24th Feb’18 my husband has gone to work, I am munching into coconut cookies with my tea, my dog is sleeping underneath my chair and my little wee girl is kicking here and there making sure she is all awake … Gosh I can’t explain how excited I am to cuddle her x

So here I go……I am currently 28weeks so finally on Third Trimester…only 7 more weeks before I go on Maternity leave yay…

Well to be really honest all I was told that being pregnant is beautiful and sometimes its not easy… but I wasn’t told that you feel different every week and sometimes everyday and its not an easy cup of tea. It is bloody hard and I cannot explain you if you have not experienced pregnancy in a harder way … But I am pretty sure there are few ladies out there who feel absolutely amazing throughout their pregnancy ( Lucky them) but in my case starting from week 5 till today my life has changed so much.

Being from India I was also told different things as compared to what I was told here – Indian part – Like don’t eat red meat, don’t drive , don’t wear heels, pretty much just be on bed for the next 9months … at the same time my Midwife told me to live my life as it is, eat chicken for protein, red meat for iron (so confusing whom do I listen to) only thing I was asked not to do is don’t go for Bungy jump (Well even if I wasn’t pregnant I would have not done it haha) So you can imagine how I managed my pregnancy … I decided to go what I felt is right that is go with what my Midwife said 🙂

Initially my first symptom was Nausea I was literally throwing up all day all night I thought I would never enjoy my food again and I can’t explain how gross it feels to go to the bathroom after every meal just to throw up… but I thought it will be gone by 1st Trimester but nah it lasted till 18 weeks … along with that I had sore legs and boobs since week 5 and its worst now. Most important I wasn’t told that your vagina literally feels like its frozen during night time (its the worst feeling) specially when you have to wake up 4-5 times middle of the night just to pee Bloody its hard — Question is Why wasn’t I told about it ? I freaked out when I first realised I am unable to move because down there it feels like a hard stone. Gosh !!!! It’s painful when you sit in the pot to pee and your pee decides to make you wait for 5 minutes before it flows at the middle of the night – I don’t see any point where I can say its Easy.

I wasn’t told that I will be forgetting things too – I have never been so careless and forgetful I forget things as if I am 90 years old I am more messier now and I would like to blame it on my pregnancy because hey this is new …(Baby Brains)

Craving this is something we were all told about but hey I wasn’t told that you can crave for different food at the same time – Duh !? Like I crave for cheese burgers, KFC and butter chicken all at one time .. but I like to say its not me its just her inside me who is craving all that aha : )

When I look at my body now I wonder shit its not going to look the same again – I have red stretch marks all over my belly and I keep scratching it like a Monkey, my hair looks fuller but hey why is it so oily ? No answer as of yet! They didn’t tell me that your breasts will leak even before baby pops out so the first time I saw something milky coming out from there I freaked out and then I was told by my Midwife its normal… (Thank you at least I am being told something aha)… My Skin feels healthy (don’t know if its skin care products or hormones) I doubt my hormones (lol) so I decided to use my husband’s card and swipe all that $$$ on skincare (how basic !)

As of today I woke up with sore pelvic pain so I have decided to stay at home rather than going to Kmart with hubby dearest card (his stars are with him today I reckon) at the moment craving for white sauce pasta with lots of bacon and parmesan and some spicy samosas yumm…:p wish I could also have a glass or maybe a bottle of Pinot Gris …

But doesn’t matter how painful pregnancy is at the moment but every time she moves and when I look at my bump it reminds me that it will be all worth it but hey I am pretty sure it won’t be that easy too because i am sure I am still not being told about the truth of post pregnancy xx

If you are on the same journey or planning to… you will understand what I mean and I would love to know your side of stories too so please go on to the contact section and write away x
