my worst kept secret
Guess who’s pregnant?!? Yep ME!!! I’m about 5 months in. BabyOne will be due hopefully on the 8th August 2008, as planned. We are SO excited!
My nephews are real mummy’s boys (especially the younger ones), and I think they're going to get pretty jealous of the new baby. So I’m trying to get them used to the idea that I have a baby in my tummy. But now they just point to their own tummy and says “baby”.
I promised myself I won't freak out about every little thing. Watching my sister-in-laws being pregnant was excruciating. When they were first pregnant, they didn’t have any coffee or alcohol or panadols or ham etc. And they were reading every bloody bit of literature about being pregnant and nagged everyone (mostly me ever since my status officially became "the naggable one" due to med school entry) with question after question, what’s supposed to happen at what week, how their baby is developing each month, all the things they have to watch out for and be aware of. I wasn't the one who was pregnant, but I really felt that time did tick by very slowly.
Yep, I’ve promised myself that I will be relaxed. I still work as per usual. I hang out with my nephews. Go out a lot, do sports, make yummy dinners. And suddenly I’m 5 months pregnant. Time has flown by!
There is one big difference so far. When my sister-in-laws were pregnant, they had fantastic pregnancies - with only one or two cases of headaches. Me on the other hand have been stuck in bed with nausea, headaches, dizziness, tiredness and loss of appetite. The first 3 months were reeeeeeally baaaad. My colleague put me onto Vitamin B6 and things have been ok since.
Anyway, things are all good at the moment. Hehe, I’m giggly with excitement, and now even more so that I’ve told the world about it!
