It has taken awhile for me to actually have the mood to blog. But finally, here i am!

Pregnancy journey as promised.

Finding out i was pregnant was quite a surprise for me. The signs hit me like a storm. The first sign was not being able to wake up for work. I am a morning person, waking up early in the morning has never been a problem for me. But suddenly its like torture every morning, i had to force myself out of bed EVERY single morning. Then came the exhaustion. I was tired all the time, I'll sleep on the way to work, while doing my work, lunchtime, on the way home from work, and the moment i reach home from work. I slept at every available moment i could. All i could ever think of was my bed. Which was weird as i was never that tired before. You should have already figured out whats next. The vomiting. Brushing my teeth in the morning was the hardest. Anything i ate thruout the day always came back out. I was vomiting all day everyday. No kidding this one. I could sleep and suddenly wake up just to vomit. It was that bad. But even with all those signs.. i refuse to actually believe i was pregnant. Until i missed my period. I gave myself a week before getting a pregnancy test. I didnt tell Fatboy anything about this whole ordeal. I kept telling him that i was coming down with the flu. 

So one day after work on 11 March 2015 i rushed home, this happened,

YUP. RESULTS SHOWED POSITIVE. TWICE.

I stayed in the toilet for a good 30 mins. Seeing the two lines made me smile and wanted to cry at the same time. I just got married about a month before and now im pregnant? I planned to atleast wait for a year. I was panicking. But eventually, in that 30 mins i was in the toilet... i accepted that this was all god's plan and i am thankful for it. 

I didnt plan a big surprise on how to tell Fatboy. Just as we were about to sleep, i took out the test and showed him. His reaction was priceless. It was the only time i have ever seen him with tears in his eyes. Member doesnt cry over anything, dier boring like that. But this time... he was!! He couldnt stop smiling and to see him that way, reassured me that its something he wants too. 

So the next day, we got it officially checked out at the polyclinic. Again, it was positive. Coincidentally, we had a family dinner that night so sharing the news with the family was pretty much settled. I remember my mom crying over the news. But to be fair, dier memang emotional hehe.

To keep things short, a couple of weeks later....

It has been a rollercoaster ride ever since.

First trimester was really hard on me. I ended up having to leave my job due to being sick too often. Which was a tough decision as i loved my job but it was the only choice i had. So now im a full time housewife! Eh not easy also okay. 

Second trimester thankfully was a breeze. The vomiting stopped, my appetite came back, my energy was boosted, wah i felt awesome. Except for the backache which never went away and only got worse. In case you were wondering, yes i do know the gender but lets keep that a secret till i give birth okay?

And here i am on my final journey, the third and final trimester. So far, it has not been easy. Ive had an infection, rashes all over my body but thankgod nothing serious. How big have i gotten?

 

For someone who is at 7 months, i get alot of comments saying how small i look. I do not feel small at all. I have gained 20kg so far since getting pregnant which is alot of weight in my books but, not to fret.. the doctor has not made a big hooha out of it. So i am fine. Mama has made me pack my hospital bag (which i have done halfway) as she is worried i might give birth anytime. Her worrying has made me worried too. Please stay baking inside till 13 November atleast okay? 

I have got to thank the husband for being such a darling thru this journey. He has been giving me foot rubs, back rubs, head rubs, all type of rubs lah. He has also been extremely patient with me and i am really thankful for it. He feels terrible for making me this way, maybe thats why he has been super nice? HAHAHAHA. 

Anyway, i shall end here and come back some other time with some other story to tell.

With love,

Shasha.
