Or doesn’t it? oh well, guess i’m in a whinny mood… and blaming it on hormones, yay!
So here i am, entering my sixth month being pregnant, weighing the heaviest i’ve ever been my whole life! and this is only the beginning…
And the good thing, i have a place to rest my hands these days … on my tummy! who would have thought?!
As i go into my six month, i’ve been thinking about this pregnancy thing. It’s really no fun going at it all alone.
The first trimester was the constant nausea 24/7. Once the fourth month hit, it was weight gain via the tummy – it got bigger. Days of me waddling drew nearer and to now, where i am, not walking, but kinda waddling, ultra slowly. More so cos i’m such a klutz, i take extra care.
Being pregnant made me realise the importance of having my hubs with me – to be able to share stuff that happens with him immediately, to have someone give you a badly needed massage, especially when the back ache starts, or just someone to have around.
Currently, i have to BBM him whenever something occurs. Sooooo potong steam!
Like the first time i felt my baby was surreal – it was like having Jr’s hand (or feet) just lightly touching the insides of me. It was simply…surreal!
Now, i have resigned myself to the fact this is something i have to go through on my own, aches, pains, uncomfortable-ness etc.
But yes, it does get lonely and tiring cos having to experience these moments on my own. No doubt i have my mum around at times, but it’s not the same.
In order to fill in my time, i’ve now succombed back old habits of reading mountains of books, catching up on dvds, planning the nursery, getting documentation in order to get a maid, and loads of other stuff.
On the other hand, not having me husband also has its plus points at time. I can feel grouchy and tired and be happy that i can have loads of alone time to get off that mode and talk to my baby in me tums. So far, i’ve made so many pacts with the kid, including timing of delivering to avoid jams! So yes, at times, it’s kinda cool.
Yes, i’m beginning to get used to being alone during this period, and am psyching myself up for the long journey ahead, alone or otherwise.
hope ur mum’s with u in this. no fun going it alone esp. when u need the emotional support. hang in there. it’d be over before u knew it, and dat’s gonna start a new phase for u. mum & baby phase.
