Up side down

Well hang on for a second!!!! Yes the title of my post is "up side down" it is so because darling my life seems to be so, well at least to me.... I am writing after a long time so you can very well imagine what I have been through...and I tell you...it was not easy at all...I am not exaggerating but this is true, let me simplify its for you:

#1- I had to resign from work-Persistent headaches, one was severe enough to drag me to ER at night, yes I was not able to maintain that so called 'work- life balance", was popping pills daily for headaches, this was a big concern for me, so I had to resign.

#2-We shifted house to Dwarka, yes it was hectic but the house is worth it, it is well ventilated, the way I wanted it to be.Nowadays I am busy in setting things up, which is keeping me busy.

About my pregnancy, i am in my 2nd trimester, my belly is swollen, my gait is changing to duck swaddling, I can't sleep at night...frequent trips to WC...

In between, by getting inspired by the wonderful ladies of "A beautiful mess", today I painted an old side table and its looks amazing !!!

Old Table I was talking about.

Nowadays

Completed the foundation course, level of Hypnotherapy last weekend,  it was a 2 day course and was  very informative and enlightening. Many a times I felt as if this all happened for a reason, as I got to know very critical information about parenting which I think is very important at this time, about the time when a fetus is growing inside and I think that all that I learned will definately make a difference to the life of my child. Now I am looking forward to joining 2, 3 , and 4th level in September.   About my pregnancy, well most of the times I am not even aware of the fact that I am pregnant :) but lately I have started to feel nausea and loss of appetite, I feel lethargic and sleepy most of the times, I hope all goes well in coming days.

New chapter in my life

Beginning a new chapter in my life, yes...I m expecting, I missed by period and did a home test which came out to be positive, to be honest, I was bit scared initially, thousand thoughts just crossed my mind in that very fraction of second, I was happy as well, its a mix of both emotions, I woke Akash up from his sleep and showed him the test strip, it read two dark pink lines-Positive. He was happy, but sensed a bit of fear in my eyes, we talked about it,

I: Life is gonna change now,
He:  yes it will for sure, that's what life is all about,
I: I am bit scared, how will manage these 9 months and later on,
He:  you will, indeed very well, I am with you always. we do this together :)

Akash broke the news to his/mine folks, they were happy and ready with a list of Do's and Don'ts.

Today we had been to Obs doctor, choice of hospital and doctor was mine, as i was too jittery with whom I am gonna complete my 9 months journey, I chose Moolchand as I am comfortable with the hospital and doctors, had been there earlier. we entered the Doc's chamber, her question to me:

Doctor: So tell me,
I: I think I am expecting,
Doctor: Laughs, and says well that's a good news :)

She gave me few necessary supplements and general advice on things.

After that we went to a store "Mom & Me", I brought a pair of comfortable sandals and two maternity tops, peeked in other useful stuff as well, which will start to come-in in few months to follow.

I am thinking of starting a new routine now, including few things that I think are important now, like:
Daily prayers, meditation, and bit of exercise.

I thank god for making this happen to me and really need his blessings so that I be a better mom, whose heart is filled with love, compassion and lots of patience.I read one prayer today, which I have posted above.

Sweet home

After a long tiring day, its so life saving to be back home again,  for me heaven on earth is my home, away from maddening crowd,where I can just be myself. ♡♡♡♡
