Top button off

Now I have officially started looking pregnant. I can wear my jeans only with the top button off. I am going to wait another 15 days before I buy maternity jeans and a few other maternity clothes. I have decided to not invest too much in them because I am hoping to get back to my original size soon after (I live in hope).

Never had I imagined that would hate chopped up cucumbers as much as I do now. Even thinking of Chinese food makes me sick. And I can’t stand the sight of mustard seeds in food. How weird is that? I am still waiting for the phobia to pass and cravings to kick in…

I have gone back to my walks and am looking forward to starting Yoga classes soon. They say Yoga helps in shortening your labor time and makes you flexible. I seriously doubt that anything actually helps in easier labor, but I am going to try it all.

I have always wanted to be one of those pregnant ladies who look oh-so-cute with their tummies hanging out and wear everything matching right down to their hairclip. But now I wonder – how the hell do they do it when they feel like a cow all the time!! My already “well-endowed” parts are growing way beyond endowment (I know that’s not even the right word in this context – but what the hell – I am pregnant) and that is scaring the living hell out of me.

The best part about being pregnant is that everything is forgiven :-) If you are pissy and rude to someone – it’s the hormones. If you refuse to bring anything to a potluck – you are bound to be tired during pregnancy. If you talk about constipation/diarrhea/puking at a party when the dinner is on – of course, you have the right to! And if you fart/burp in public (which I do not, BTW) – you can blame it on the baby!
