Pregnancy Update
I wanted to keep up with my promise when I first posted about the good news but I was too busy to share the details of what I was going through. But for knowledge-1. I am into my second trimester now.
2. Nausea, fatigue and everything else like that disappeared after 3rd month finished.
3. In my 4th month, I started suffering from lower back pain. too sever to bear. I cried and V gave me hot bottle for relief. For all new mommies, it is not advisable to use hot bottle, take massage or any kind of pressure around baby area. I stopped doing that and cried whenever pain occurred.
4. My doc started calcium and iron tablets and gave a powder that I have to drink with a glass of milk in the morning and evening. Maczorb, Irozorb and ------------I'll fill in the blanks shortly------.
5. I am eating normal and everything. Nothing makes me sick now. Fingers crossed. I do notice occasional swelling in feet but that doesn't hurt me.
6. I can see my baby bump now. So can you in my outfit posts. I feel happy when I see it. I lie down facing my tummy and I can feel baby fluttering or kicking inside. It feels more like fluttering than kicking.
7. I am so excited to know what I am carrying- a baby boy or a baby girl. Guess what I am more excited about - can you?
8. Daddy V takes care of me very well. I do get scolded at times though. :(
9. Starting to think about motherhood or parenthood is a kind of mixed feeling. You want a baby, trying but not getting successful - this feeling has made me cry at times. I got to know about baby news on my anniversary, Feb 20th and we both cried - an eternal happiness. Waiting for baby to show up in ultrasound reports - another heart wrenching moment. When baby shows up and you hear the heartbeat - another moment that makes you cry with smile on your face. Waiting for baby to grow up inside your womb - you have to be very patient throughout.
10. I don't know why but I miss my mom more than ever now. I feel like seeing her every other day, I talk to her daily though - a number of times. I miss my parent's home and my father's protection. I don't know why! I am probably scared somewhere inside my heart and I think if I would be able to be as great mother as my mother is! Will I have the same strength and patience?
House Update
We are in process of renovating one of the two washrooms (my parents in law's) and kind of thinking if I could do posts on that. Not sure though!! But I'd share some pictures for sure. Let me know if it would help anyone of you and what all things you would like to know about it.We are also planning to repaint our living room's wall. Water seepage is affecting one of the walls and it looks awful. We are planning to apply one layer of putty and a layer of structure paint. Let me know if you have any other suggestions!
Blogger's Dilemma
I am so occupied with a lot of things at work, personal life that sometimes blogging has to take a back seat. But I am trying to keep up with this hobby and do as much as I can! I want to include more shopping, style and review posts. Hope I will be there soon where I want to be!I have invested in anew camera, not because my old Fujifilm HS10 wasn't doing a good job but it sure didn't fare well when it came to my blog pictures. V is getting into blogging gradually and I wanted him to be able to get nice pictures for his blog too. Fujifilm HS10 didn't take good pictures during night and this is the time when we both are active because we plan most of our shopping, dining and blogging time during evenings. If anyone of you would like to buy Fujifilm HS10 from us, let me know. I bought it for INR18K and I will sell it for 10K. It's a good camera if you are learning photography and does really good job during day time with its 30x zoom.
I will disclose my new camera in another post.
Here are some updates and tid-bits of my life, house and blogging. LEt me know if you would like to anything else.
See you next time!
