After a lot of pre-wedding preps and post wedding settling down - we thaught life's gonna be finally boring and mundane, but NO, God had other plans- a magical stick in my hand told me that am Pregnant!!
My first reaction was- hell I dont even like babies- second- I cant even hold one - Third- I am 25 and this is perfect time to make some lil human - Fourth - lumps forming in the throat leading to tear bursts of happiness.
And when I broke "the news" to my husband, he thaught I was playing a practical joke on him just to see his reaction (ppl give themselves so much unneccessary importance, i tell u). Then a child like smile (the one that goofy has) appeared on his face when i shoved that stick in his face.
And now, as I start this whole new different chapter in my life....I realize a lot of things have changed drastically. You actually see the world in a whole different way- in a nice way-
1. I dont hate people who want to advice me (tho none of them make any sense what so ever) in fact I think its really sweet of them to actually bother.
2. I have a new found respect for moms - I am shocked at how many kids are born everyday, considering the fact that for one- the nine months are not at all easy to pass and - two - works not over after the nine months.
3. I have new found respect for dads - coz they bear all the unreasonable hormones infused tantrums, provide for the family (to say the least) and act like a tough man for the rest of their lives.
4. I like how am sucha lazy piece of good for nothing-ness and nobody seems to mind that. My daily agenda includes - sleep, eat, lie down, watch extremely old hindi movies, googling "how to be a good parent" and making cute lil things for the baby (so far, none compeleted).
Included in the pregnancy package is the dreadful monthly hospital visits combined with so many tests and medicines. There you meet other fellow pregnant women which i dread more than the visit itself - coz none of them (including me) wants to wait or be considered less important than the other. And u'd think, since all of us are pregnant here, we ill all get along and be practically singing in chorus while waiting our turns but NO, nothing of that sort happens, theres hostile silence in the waiting room with all of us staring at the cookery show on TV (which is muted) along with throwing hateful glances at that woman who got in before us (or playing fruit ninja). I've been to 5 different clinics and its the same everywhere, And each time I wonder why? and how we became this way..
Also, u all should be warned about some beahvioural changes in me: I now have an unreasonable love for ice lollies (I post pictures of them on Facebook :S), I stay awake till 4 in the morning playing word fued, I resort to crying hysterically when hungry, I complain that I want to go out and then demand to come home to sleep as soon as am taken out, I laugh hysterically at the silliest jokes for hours and sometimes for no reason I like to sleep on the opposite side of the bed. Luckily, people around me love me just enough to bear me.
