Just for memory sake. .

So I keep asking mom each day about how she felt during her pregnancy and what advise she could offer me for the various changes I was undergoing..and she complained about not remembering anything for it was almost 25 years ago.. she wished she had written it down somewhere and used it now as reference..she wished blogging was there back then.. and so since I am carrying a girl and time would definitely come for me to listen to her woes ( of course I know I am thinking far too ahead!!) and I would have to give my expertise to her so just for memory sake I thought about the various changes I have been going through these months and thought to jot them down just in case!!

So I remember distinctly the beginning was a bout of vomiting that lasted for almost four to five months...I thought I was about to die.I really thought that I would not survive it any longer. I was hospitalised for dehydration and of course constipation too. I was close to being a bloodhound for my nasal sensitivity was as high as in I could smell tobacco from the cigar of my neighbour in the lower floors of my apartment..I vomited when the mustard or fenugreek spluttered in the pan in the kitchen.. I hated the smell of boiled rice.. I had strange cravings like wanting to write with a fountain ink pen and such.. Yeah now you know what I am talking about.. !! lol! I wanted gooseberries all the while..I would munch away atleast three or four in a day..I loved anything that was sour. I ate a lot of raw mangoes, strawberries, cherries and anything that was sour including hajmola.. Mornings were always a weight on me.I could not get up before 11 and I still slept through the day.Haemorrhoids were another menace during pregnancy and I had a tough time fighting them. I had to drink fibre drinks that tasted a lil better than gutter! I dint show much of the baby bump until the seventh month and I started feeling the kicks at about my 23rd week.I pee'd like a dozen times a day.. I had strange dreams and had sleeping problems once the 6th month settled in. My gums were weak and somedays I bled while I brushed my teeth and my hair growth was crazy.. I developed dark circles in mid pregnancy and gained about 10 to fifteen kilos in total until delivery. I ate rice like four times a day..The most comfortable position to sleep was on my stomach which I could not do so I missed sleeping comfortably.

So these were just few of the many changes and I am still waiting to get done with it.. right now I am just dealing with them!! Ciao.. 

Quickening or just a splurge of emotions?

So I am still wading in the preggo glow for all these days now.. but with a fairly small bump I don't look it.. people keep asking me if I am really into the 6th month.. sheeesh.. gives me the jitters at nights when I sleep to think my baby is super small.. but really what worried me the most was that I was not able to feel her yet.. I saw raised eyebrows when I said that I still did not feel the baby's movements.. and I wondered if it was cos I was not talking to her.. but really what could a first time mommy talk to her baby? I just did not have words.. and then mum came up with the idea of making her listen to music.. I remembered I had a whole play list of lullabies and soothing music on my channel on the net..

It was magical I say.. The first kick as the music filled the room.. It felt like she was dancing ballet inside me.. I could imagine her doing it and at that moment I thought I turned red from the splurge of pride..Its been four days now since I began to feel her in me.. And everytime she moves it is like a gesture .. towards one hellova ride or a rebirth? Ciao..
