Warning : Intense Whining ahead !!

Life is changing … slowly but surely. Where have I been the past four months ?! Hmmm….

The good news is the I’m expecting. πŸ™‚ And I couldn’t be happier about it.

The bad news is the I’ve been too sick to even think about writing or any other extra curricular activity for that matter. Any exertion physical or mental added to all the pregnancy symptoms and lack of sleep has me reeling. Feeling uncomfortable in my own skin has taken a new meaning and the temperature/mood fluctuations have my hubby cringing in anticipation.

Till the first time I saw the first ultra sound of the baby I just felt I was sick. Once I saw that, everything starts seeming to be worth it.

But damn, it’s all as scary as it is exciting !! One second I’m imagining what the baby might be like, how naughty it’s going to be and the other minute I’m freaking out at how I’ll manage life with a baby in it. On one side, I try to do everything everyone tells me to make sure I do everything right. On the other, I’m whispering to the baby asking if it’s all right !!

Sure, it’s all a very natural process of life but I envy those who have a smooth and easy pregnancy just having to deal with the tribulations of being with a mom when the baby starts it’s first breath in the real world.

Everyone keeps saying to be happy, but how does one find the time to be happy when all they are doing is trying to get through another day as comfortably as possible !! The number of horror stories of pregnancy , delivery and the actual child rearing don’t really act as lullabies either. Why is it people Never talk about the joys of being a parent ?!I swear if one more person tells me to think happy thoughts, I might just sock them !!! No offense ..

And the decisions … urghhh !! Oscillating between doing what’s right compared to what you really want sucks big time causing more mental strain.

Above all, the desire to do something is as always inversely proportional to the number of reasons one should not do it to which I attribute my intense craving for SHUSHI !!!

Oh sure, people around me couldn’t be kinder but inspite of it all, I seem to be extremely alone and I have a sneaking suspicion this is only the beginning  …

I'm a mom living in Virginia, enjoying chronicling my various escapes with the kids and around the kitchen. I believe being a mom involves a balance of holding on and letting go. And since being a mom is a 24/7 job, cooking though essential, needs to be as easy as can be. So peruse my blog for various experiences in parenting and experiments in cooking.
