This Girl cleared her pregnancy midpoint mark a while back and although they could have found out the gender of the baby some time back they decided that they didn’t want to know.
The Boy likes to explain that they like surprises and since This Girl gets to experience the pregnancy first hand and he’s basically [...]

Melbourne 2009: Dracula’s and pregnancy eating
Posted in pregnancy, travel on November 26, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Given they had no real plans in Melbourne they started each day, lazily with a sleep in then a trudge for food. Usually, that meant simply walking around till they felt hungry or something caught their fancy. It was a lovely way to live, really.
As this girl trudges along her getting more pregnant, she’s begun [...]

Posted in funnies, pregnancy, travel on November 23, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
This Girl is a little over five months pregnant and she’s had what The Mother terms a “neat” pregnancy. From the back, she pretty much looks the same, her arms, face, legs and general overall body size has remained the same. Ok, ok, the boobs are fuller but no one complains about that, really. But [...]

People have asked This Girl and The Boy if they know if they are expecting a girl or a boy. And when they say they have no idea and wish to be surprised at the end of the pregnancy journey people think they’re nuts.
But seriously, there’s a certain fun-ness with not knowing. And, truth is, [...]

An old classmate had one of the most harrowing- and traumatic- pregnancies. Her little girl had organs in the wrong places, liver and lungs had not progressed as per normal and she knew, even in the months and weeks leading up to the birth, she, her little girl, her husband and friends and family were [...]
week 18: thinking a new wardrobe is needed
Posted in pregnancy, tagged maternity clothes, pregnancy, weigh gain on November 2, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Given that this girl is relatively petite, she’s gotten away with keeping most of her usual wardrobe, sans the tight fitted dresses and pants. She’s had to pack up her pants, skirts and shorts since most of them were bought to fit her then 24″ waist. So, a while back, she traded her low slung [...]

The Boy has been pretty much gone this past fortnight: first he was away for an in camp training (ICT) drivers course then he flew off to Bangkok for a work conference. With him away, this girl had to pull double duty, run their collective errands, manage both sets of parents and juggle back to [...]
learning to leave pregnant women alone
Posted in pregnancy, tagged annoyance, pregnancy, stupid people on October 15, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
People get incredibly bossy and busy-bodied when dealing with pregnancy women. Everyone else knows better. Everyone has a belief. Everyone has a best way to do things. Everyone has a nugget or two to share that, is, of course, the gospel truth. Everyone wants a say in the baby’s well being, the mother’s well being, [...]
The first third

This girl is now in her second trimester where, thankfully, she’s feeling much better these days.
The first three months passed in a blur of morning sickness and the accompanying general body malaise- aches, tightness, lethargy… While in the midst of her company’s peak period, she was racked with bouts of sheer exhaustion (the body’s working [...]

Its been a madhouse around here this past two weeks. Far too many projects and the whole hassle of moving office has been taking a toll on this girl- she’s not been sleeping too well, she has dreams of her having dreams about work which is oddly trippy and makes her think she’s in some [...]
might be a while (28th July)
Posted in pregnancy on September 28, 2009 | 1 Comment »
This girl figured it might be a while before she actually posts this entry seeing how she’s always known she’d want to wait till the first trimester is over before letting the rest of the world know. In fact, as she writes this in the solitude of her bedroom and in the quietness of the [...]
