The Second Trimester - A Joy Ride

I have always been someone who took most of my illness and small pains very easily in life... (Touchwood) I decided to take control of my diet and continued regular exercise in my student years, so have never faced any major health problems (thanks God again, thanks for being an obese child :-). When I got to know I was pregnant all I wanted to do was enjoy my months, and live life like I have never done before. Frankly, after seeing my elder sis going through pregnancy I was a little skeptical about my pregnancy being all hunky dory...

Well the first trimester was tough... With all weakness, mood swings and above all nausea... It was really tough, but I did manage to pull off really well.

The second trimester arrived and things changed as a fairy would have cast some kind of a magical spell. I was glowing, the nausea lessened and then stopped, baby shopping was my priority on weekends (and I was loving it). I loved buying maternity wear and flaunting my bump... Received loads of compliments...

My baby has started twisting & turning, Rocking'n Rolling sometimes... and I am on cloud 9. Every kick, every turn and each sensation makes me feel great.

Now in my 27th week, I looking forward to the 3rd and final trimester to start... Hope I would handle it really well.

A special mention here to Fizz, I have started respecting and loving him even more now (though we have always been inseparable... :-) touch wood.) He has been my support system and is by my side whenever I want him to...

Here is to Parenthood, Cribs, Bibs, Feeds and a Great new healthy life coming into our lives... Here is to being Pregnant :-)

5 Months...

Mumz the Way to be...

It is so fascinating to know that you have another life taking shape inside you. You start feeling special and want to do all you can to ensure the baby is safe, secure, healthy and happy. Chutka's acrobatics can be felt and s/he becomes more active when I plan to sleep around 11-12 in the night...
Chutz I guess knows how badly mom wants to sleep and wants to assure I feel him/her just before going to bed. :-)
I'm enjoying my pregnancy and for me (Mashallah) its so far so good. I love each and every moment and want to be as happy as I can for me... Fizz and specially for Chutka...
Off late I have been getting this feeling "Will I be able to become the world's best and coolest mum ever?" I just wish... I dont want my baby to feel "I wish my mum was like ---'s mum..."
I want to do all that is possible for my Chutka to say "My mum's the best mum in this whole wide world..."
Guess I would need to wait... :-) but it is for sure worth it...

Looking at the brighter side....

They say the second trimester is the best out of the three… Well I have just entered it and I don’t feel much of a difference. I look forward to enjoy the coming 3 months. Chhutka is doing well for all of those who would want to know. One thing I liked in the past couple of days was so many of my relatives came over and I was being pampered (don’t I love being the CENTER OF ATTRACTION?) … I just hope I land up with a job ASAP… Coz I can’t wait for long… And the thought of spending the rest of the days @ home is killing… Things are looking brighter and all I want to do is hope for the best.

Lots goin on my mind....

Welcome to the 11th week of pregnancy... Nausea has almost... almost disapeared (Fingers crossed) well right now it isnt as regular as it used to be.

I have started working out with my favorite Jane Fonda again...(After taking my physician's expert advice) and I feel much much better.

I have started browsing through list of names but right now there is a lot more besides that which is going on in my mind. My job for instance... hope things stabilize over this week... They should, else I'm gone. I hate sitting idle at home and just hate when people say "Enjoy your pregnancy... Pamper yourself". I mean how much can you "PAMPER YOURSELF"? That reminds me... I need to get my new haircut this weekend... (Mommie special...) Will upload a pic as soon as I get a chance to do that.

Hoping and wishing and praying....

The feeling did take it's own sweet time to sink in... I mean I didn't imagine I was ready to become a "mommy."
Now when I know its a nice feeling ... and what better way to do it than to express my feelings in words... Thats the best I do.
So here I am dragging myself through the 1st trimester and trying to be stronger for Fizz and for 'Chutka'... Yeah I know Chutz you gonna hate when we call you that but thats what it is... And Dadda chose your name because he loved JLo's name in "The Back Up Plan"... Yeah it is a movie ... remember the one 3 of us went to watch last Saturday...
Pregnancy is a lovely experience... (with its share of mood swings, nausea, and exhaustion) but the worst part is when both my sisters and my mom keep on saying its goin to be a "baby boy"... I mean no.... I have always wished of having a sweet little baby girl just like me... her mommie dearest...
Well even it is a baby boy :-( I would be happy, but Allah knows I would be elated... really excited, on top of the world if I get a real life doll to cuddle and play with.
So here is wishing one more time - the nth number of time... that my wish comes true and my world turns 'pink' in a matter of 7 months now...
