Pregnancy Banter - 14 weeks.
It was December and almost Christmas time! Soon after Thanksgiving people had their Christmas tree and decorations up, and as always, you fall in love with the season. That's one thing that helps you get over a dull and cold winter. I was excited for the holiday season.
My
husband (Mr.V) likes to be outdoors, especially at this time of the
year. We both love walking around the city, looking at Christmas
decorations and busy shoppers. But this time, I did not feel like it. I
was low on energy, dealing with exhaustion and fatigue. Wrapped up in a
blanket, cozy at home, seemed like a better plan.
As
I was approaching the final days of my first trimester, I started to
feel better. Hubby and I thought that the holidays would be a perfect
time to announce our pregnancy to friends, and so we did!. I loved all
the attention and the congratulatory messages that poured in.
Come
New Year's Eve, we were at home again, watching a movie. Trying really
hard to stay awake till midnight, I asked my husband "Am I complaining too much about my pregnancy sickness? May be I am", to which he replied "No, You are not complaining enough!", and planted a kiss on my forehead.
"You know, pregnancy is teaching me to be patient with my own body
and I can see it is teaching you to be more patient with me. I think
this is a lesson for both of us, so that we can be patient with a crying
infant later!" , I said. We both laughed, I wished him a happy new year and a good night!.
It
was way past midnight. Rolling on the bed, I thought about the year
that passed by. 2015 was a super-fast family oriented year. I felt
happy and content at that moment.
2016 has a lot to look forward to and will indeed be special for us!.
