Can you believe how fast time flies... its crazy.. i started this blog thinking how long its going to take for me to get through this pregnancy and now - i am practically on the home stretch - with less than a month to go... Am i scared? Damn straight i am... haha i wont lie but i am also looking forward to seeing this "bundle of joy".. make sure the little bugger has all 10 fingers and toes, 2 arms and 2 legs.. as far as the ultrasounds go, my baby does have ONE head.. so i guess i am safe in that corner..
i am constantly amazed on how much of new information i am learning about the pregnancy every day.. my new favorite website is www.babycenter.com - its a good site and gives all kinds of fun information.. i keep sending nisal articles (to read in between his IT stuff) and he says i read too much, and thats probably why i am worried when the doctor says to me "everything is fine".. but come on, sometimes doctors just say that.. just to keep the mother calm and stop her from strangling the doctor.. believe me, with pregnancy horomones, you honestly cannot predict what a woman is capable of.. haha :-) and no, i have not attempted at strangling my doctor..
my new symptoms other than the heartburn (which honestly more irritating than painful - you cannot eat anything!! practically any sri lankan food can cause it - garlic, onions, cup of tea/coffee, chillies ugh!), is the Braxton Hicks contractions.. no, i am not rushing to labor - but these are "fake" contractions.. yes, to add to our lives, we not only have fake orgasms (hehe) but also fake contractions.. these are relatively harmless and just prepare you for the actual labour.. how can u tell these contractions from the REAL deal - well simply, you dont bleed.. comforting i know.. but so far, i have been having these contractions and there's no sign of the baby anywhere.. no arms or legs sticking out from down there, or any other body part.. sorry to be graphic but its true!
the other question i keep hearing is "Am i ready for this new stage in my life?".. for those who have known me over the years probably think no.. haha.. i mean, considering i was such a different person in my teens (man, i sound so old!) - i mean come on, i used to head to White Horse, Cascades, and all those 'hot' spots.. then during my college years - Malibu and coke being my staple and just trying to get through all the studies and guys.. Thanks to Nisal i think i have completely reformed into this woman (dont worry, i havent lost my stubborn side) who can somehow cook a decent meal, and get married.. and now - going to be a mother.. does that answer the question ?! hehe actually yes, i think i am ready to be a mother.. being around nisal and dealing with another person does help you put someone else above yourself.. and motherhood or being a parent is just the next step.. hehe.. i think i will still be a little crazy and my kids probably will get embarrassed of me from time to time ("look at mom, she's wearing a mini skirt... eww mom, why do you have to head to the clubs we are hanging out at..." etc. etc.) but hey, its all part of the fun, right.. hahaha
anyways, will be posting soon - leave comments if you have any and do continue to view my page!!
