Julie and Julia and Jeba – Part 2

I got something Julie and Julia dreamt of but didn’t have – A baby.

After I shared the blog Julie and Julia and Jeba, I was wondering what to do next, my pregnancy got confirmed. The way I confirmed my pregnancy is a tale worth telling. After having read about the pregnancy symptoms a thousand times a day, I felt bad when I couldn’t feel even one. So everyday or I should say almost 3 times a day I checked with a pregnancy test kit till I went to a gyno and heard my baby’s heart beats. It was an unexplainable feeling. Tears started rolling and my joy knew no bounds when I heard the amplified heart beats of my baby.

A while later my pregnancy symptoms started to appear. I was one of the lucky few ones not to have vomiting during pregnancy. But did I consider myself lucky? No. I started alarming. This time my husband accompanied me for worrying. He too wanted to see me vomit. LOL. I had actually vomited only thrice in the whole of my pregnancy. Each time my hubby would have a full smile on his face.

Slowly tummy began to show. Another hilarious account. My tummy was not that big. So again I started alarming. During my 5^th month check up the nurse asked me the reason to meet the doc. I said I was 5 months carrying. She apologised and said I didn’t look like one. I had many such so called alarming moments till my 6^th month. My baby then started assuring me with his kicks day and night.

Hither and Wither my journey throughout pregnancy was smooth and by God’s grace a handsome charming prince was born to me on 14^th Nov.

Along with my boy was born Jeba v2.0. LOL

I never thought in my whole life I would have to finish a meal in 5 mins and I can afford to sleep soundly for only 3 hrs a day.

His crying got reduced month on month, he controlled his neck better, rolled over, spine got straight and sat up, started to crawl and now started standing. He is ten months now.

As I look in the mirror, a tired , puffy eyed female with a bit of (no, whole lot of) untidy hair who has forgotten again to take bath and smells of all flavours of Nestle Cerelac starts back at me. Hey that’s me. Version 2.0. Updates – Motherly responsibilities without sleep. But enjoying it to the core.

If this continues, my son will start to mock me as he grows up So have decided to groom myself better. Lets see if I get to do this properly. 

Not much reason to blog now. Just thought of sharing my updates in black and white. Thanks for reading.
