This thing about me.
Filed under Parenting & kids
By now my constant 'I am hungwee' tweets would have catapulted in the obvious deduction – yes I am having something growing inside of me which will pop out (God willing) as a wailing baby, just about 6 – 7 months from now.
Now before you take out the champagne for the popping and go 'congratulations darling', (which many have done already), I must say that this new 'state of existence' has increased by trifold the fears and worries for the future (as much as I claim to be enamoured by the idealism of living in the 'now'). I am yet to enter my second trimester and as they have warned us new, excited and wide-eyed mommies to be, 'ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN!'
Already I am breaking taboo by breaching 'the vow of silence before you hit four months'. Currently 12 weeks old and constantly starving, my rationale to do this, right here, right now, is so that I can officially lay claim to the greatest joy of being a pregnant woman: 'I AM QUEEN and THOU SHALL ALWAYS DO MY BIDDING – MUAHAHAHHA'.
We are seeing my o.b. again this Saturday for the third time, and *Lord have mercy on us* so we are constantly praying for good health and a normal baby. I have no idea whether baby is going to be a Paul or a Sophie (see, we've got the names ready!), but we've already gotten lots of hand-me-downs, mostly red, pink and very girly.
After this, I suppose, will be the change in the way I talk and the way I blog, so there will be a very different tone to the things around here. Alas, I will be no longer the whimsical, romantic, beautiful woman my words used to suggest – today I'm officially entering into the category of practical, motherly, glowingly plump pregnant darling (and I think that's a good thing).
I shall end this by saying that my hubby Eric is extremely pleased by my blossoming twins (yes have they blossomed) and he loves the idea of Nursing Bras. As he exclaimed when he saw me purchasing them (for try-ons) the other time, 'Oh wow, they should make this type of bras from the start – so easily accessible!'
Oh yes, aren't we getting extremely open with my physicalities these days?

Hearty congratulations to you and hubby! And yes, I too was almost convinced that there was something afoot with all the hunger tweets. :p Enjoy the ensuing months of being an absolutely radiant expectant mother.
And leave the worrying at the doorstep – your baby needs you to be calm, contented and confident for the both of you. God bless.
