It all begun throwing up all my Thanksgiving dinner and having a huge migraine that even my husband's captain at the firehouse requested for me to stay over that night if I didn't get better.....yet I didn't have a clue and waited until the pain went away....
Then two weeks later, I found out the wonderful news of expecting a baby, with tears in our eyes, my husband and I could not believe on God's faithfulness to giving us this gift! I felt so much joy knowing that this miracle will come to a home where his/her parents put God as their first priority in their lives, and have been making sacrifices since long ago to be an example for our little miracle!
All these was wonderful, yet reality check came to my door! I never knew pregnancy symptoms were as bad as they are!!!!
I am constantly throwing up, full of nausea, extremely sensitive, and I get very painful migraines. Worst of all, I can get all these symptoms simultaneously at any time without warning.....As an oxymora, I am forced to learn to take my days one day at time, which is a blessing in itself. God wisely is teaching me to become a mom :)
Futhermore, I am recently find out that I can't have any type of meat including fish, not even smelling it! My poor husband is experiencing how life would have been if living with a vegetarian! I said poor, because if you know my husband, he is all into Paleo diet, which in summary is a diet of meats and vegetables, no CARBS!!! And now, all I can eat is soup, lots of vegetables and fruits, and plenty of CARBS, YUM!!! The joke is that baby is ruling for now.......
Despite of all, I am very happy and joyful to sing to my baby in Spanish "una ternurita, una ternurita es mi bebe" every time I feel bad and read to him/her. Also, it's a relieve knowing that every time I feel bad, it means that I am having a healthy pregnancy and my baby is growing strong!Literally,this baby is growing strong as on my 12 week check up, baby was already 6.2 inches....oh yeah, I guess baby didn't get the memo that I am petite :). Thankfully, baby is getting all my nutrients as so far I have only gained 3 pounds in 4 months while baby gets bigger & stronger!
Love it!
