Day 847: Yup, This Is It!

About two weeks ago, I had written a post here which basically said I will talk about what happened that day at a later stage.

I guess it is kinda time to talk about it now on this blog.

So well, that day I figured out that I am an expecting mom, in other words I am pregnant!

Now, apparently this news is not something that's supposed to be shared until the first trimester is over and done with because well, until then it's "risky" and anything can happen. So people don't usually share until 12 weeks are over and done with and the risky stage has been crossed over.

But I find that hard to do because my life has been revolving around this for the last couple of weeks. I have been horridly sick and weak and everything that I am not used to. I have been cooped up in my house because I am terrified of stepping out lest I get sick on the roads. In fact, the sickness and weakness have made me even skip writing the blog on a daily basis which was something that I had declared to do a few weeks ago and was maintaining for a while. Oh well. Those are the ugly bits and obviously not very day-beautifying happenings.

On the brighter side, whatever makes the day beautiful is watching the reactions of my family and friends as they find out the news - everybody is over the moon with excitement, which is really touching to see! Plus also things associated with being an expectant mom like seeing the first ultrasound scan, getting pampered silly by everyone around, the hubby being super nice and treating me like a queen, etc. etc. which are quite the experiences, to say the least! But without sharing the news on this blog, I am unable to write any of these things which are what makes my days pretty nice right now. You see the point?

In other words, if I didn't share this now, I would be continuing to write about less important things and wouldn't be true to the blog at all. Worse still, I will be missing out on chronicling some of the once-in-a-lifetime beautiful happenings in my life, which I am sure I would want to come back to and read later on!

So here I am, announcing it! I am excited, nervous, swinging from completely freaked out to completely elated! If you have a prayer to spare, send it across!

And now that I have shared this, let's hope for the best! Exciting times ahead!
