I can't believe that it's been weeks...almost two months since I last wrote a blog! Can you blame me? No, blame it all on the hormones! Yes, I initially thought that this pregnancy would be totally different from my first one. As they say, each pregnancy is different. I kept a positive attitude about it and tried hard to remain happy. But the hormones are just so stubborn! Come my 5th week, it slowly caused havoc in my life! The past weeks has just been chaotic! Hard and terrible. Routines changes, activities changed, diets changed. Everything changed. Well,except for the fact that I am still heavy with my second child. On my 8th week, I thought I already had enough, but not, all the discomforts peaked up until my 11th week! Can't eat well. I was eating the bad foods and drinking the bad drinks (in moderation) or else I'd die of starvation. I lost weight. I didn't get to drink the vitamins I needed to drink because I just end up throwing up. Goodness, how did I survive all those days?
I survived because I have a very loving and caring husband who took the role of both the Dad and Mum of the household. When he comes home from work, he is in charge of everything! From the cooking to the cleaning to taking care of my little one, who is not so little anymore. And what about the time he is at work? Well, I have to thank my parents (who by God's grace was here in Sydney for a vacation during the past two months) who helped me with everything.
I am now on my 14th week and there are still days that I feel the bug and all the discomforts again, especially at night. But I think I'm on my way to recovery. I see myself doing some of the usual stuff every now and then...I get to work twice or thrice a week...do some household chores, eat (but this is still a challenge for me though), play with my son, do some things on my own. Slowly, I'm becoming normal again. Thank God. Now, I will try to enjoy this second trimester and not think of all the discomforts the third trimester might bring. Hopefully, in the coming days, I can finally and truly say, I'm back!
