My first pregnancy...

It's kind of interesting for me knowing that something's growing inside my tummy. I think about many things from gaining weight, seeing myself with big tummy, swollen legs, wearing a bigger size of clothes, breastfeeding, waking up at night, grocery shopping with the baby, exercising before and after pregnancy and so on. As of this moment, I have a lot of questions going on in my mind. To answer some of those, I bought 3 books lately. Two of them are about what to expect when you're expecting and the other one is how to be a hot momma. I think some pregnant women doesn't care about themselves anymore because they think that no matter what they do, they still look ugly. Others think they look fat and other negative things that they can see on the mirror. In my case, I want to do the opposite. I still have plans to wear my summer clothes and use my swim wear soon if I have the chance to do it. I guess women should think positive about how they look even if they're pregnant coz that can affect the self esteem and their soon to be baby. I hope I can get a good guidance from the books that I read.

Anyways, talking about pregnancy means so many things to me. You feel the joy that soon you'll have a little one like you, your husband or mix; sacrifice from all the do's and don’ts; thrill of what the gender would be; excited if the baby look like me or hubby; tiring because you have to do the exercise even if your tummy is bulging already; but the nicest thing about pregnancy is not about eating anything what you want (for me it's not good) but knowing that my Filipina friends are there if I need them. Like my Filipina co-worker, she asked me today if I want to eat something and when I told her that I like her banana bread, she said that she'll cook some more and give me some. Isn't it nice? Another friend of mine told me that if I crave something to eat I should tell somebody coz Filipinas here will surely cook the one I want. It really feels so good hearing those. But of course I'll try not to bother anybody because of my pregnancy except for hubby. haha It sounds funny when hubby asked the practitioner about the exotic foods that I ate. He said "I have a question but don't laugh. She eats dried fish, dried squid and pigs boiled blood". Then he asked if it is okay to eat those now that I'm pregnant. The practitioner said "as long as its cook then that's fine". haha I didn't crave for the pigs blood yet but I have some in the freezer, ready to heat and eat if I want to. I think they're safe coz they're cooked. But for safety reason, I'll try not to eat the pig’s boiled blood or blood pudding (dinuguan) while I'm pregnant. Isn't it nice to be preggy? Though I don't like the feeling of getting dizzy, tired, sleepy, and other symptoms that a pregnant woman get, I still like the thought of having a little one around. ^_^
