Was that the hormones?


It's only been 5 days since the "big" news but I can see so much changes in me already. I wonder whether I feel this way because I am pregnant or because I have read up too much stuff on pregnancy online.

I think I've been to too many websites on pregnancy.. I mean really, a lot, so much so that I have even stumbled on a website that showed a porn star's nude photo of herself a few days before her due date.. (. I am secretly hoping that I'll look as good as she does when I've packed up so much weight!)

Physically, I see no difference yet.. perhaps some tightening around the tummy area and my breast hurts like hell. I sleep way earlier than my normal time.. by 9.00 pm, and I am up and about(and surprisingly chirpy) by 7.30 am. This is so out of this world! I've NEVER been a morning person...

Mentally... woo hooo.. I have upped my "activities" exponentially. I know that Homer feels like all this is killing him softly.. pushing him away, yelling at him (more than usual), doing quadruple eye-roll with perfect landing (never knew I could do that!) ...

Yesterday, we went car window shopping to celebrate his passing of Dubai driving license. It has always been my dream to drive that big Landcruiser, so I was hopping on and off the 4WD .. then Homer pointed out that I won't be able to do much of the "hopping" in 4 months time.. Ooohh.. the whole showroom turned to ice with a single shot of my look.

Still sad with the fact that I may never have my Landsruiser, I kept quiet on the drive home. Was getting a little hungry so I was glad I packed some sandwiches in my bag. While opening the plastic zip container, I felt so overwhelmed with the fact that I actually packed sandwiches in my bag, that I bawled, "Oh no!! I am officially a bag lady .. I have everything I think I need in my bag!!!"

I didn't know whether I should laugh or cry ... was it the hormones or just plain reading way too much information. In any case.. one of the website pointed out that I have 32 more weeks to look forward to.. I wonder if Homer can "tahan" that long..
