One time, I cried. No, that’s a lie. It must have been three times.<\/p>\n

The first time I cried was because I couldn’t understand what was happening inside my body. What with all the hormonal changes that came along with pregnancy — and it’s my first time. And I’m all clueless. Oh you bet I’ve been reading all the pregnancy 101s out there but one night I just had to — yes! cried! and bellowed under the pillow. “No, babylove, Mama’s not sad.”, I made sure and whispered that to my baby inside me. Crying apparently was something I just had to do for whatever reason. Moodswing? It could be.<\/p>\n

The second time was the day I thought would never happened — that dreaded morning sickness. They say every pregnancy is different and not all go through that but apparently, I wasn’t one of the really lucky ones. Am I?<\/p>\n

The third time? — was when I couldn’t figure out what to eat next, when everything I seem to try to put inside my mouth were all tasteless or would just make me puke the next minute I take a bite. Talk about hating milk,too? Pfffft.<\/p>\n

Amidst all these, my energy’s been all depleted just like that. Many days I’m just nursing myself in bed. Never felt too tired. Even more tiring than running a full marathon. Seriously. And I tried to fight it. Really. Because I’m all like the ‘I-just-don’t-give-up-type-of-person’. But this kind of fight made me realize I can’t win it — at least not yet. So yeah, that explains why I haven’t been up with my hyper-self the passed days that turned into weeks and clearly, it’s been over a month now. I needed to just slow it down. And be okay with it. And look forward more for what better days to come that will be worth all these pain.<\/p>\n

Six more months to go and I know time will be fleeting — so while I’m at it, might as well enjoy the rest of it! Yes? After all, being pregnant is such a magical gift — and that feeling is sure is inexplicable!<\/p>\n

p.s. I hope to be graduating the first trimester soon and that might mean, I’ll be back on track on updating my lil happy corner here soon. Please bear with me a little while longer okay? xo =)<\/p>\n

p.s.# 2 Thanks for my faery best buddy, Govinda<\/a> for handing over her old helpful book below.<\/p>\n
