Ally’s wedding, April 16th
It’s kinda late, but we would like to announce that we are pregnant! Prav gives me a glare everytime I say ‘we’ because it’s me who’s carrying the baby.
We’re in our fifth month, 20 weeks and 3 days today. The baby is 367 grammes and is developing according to schedule.
When we found out:
We found out we (yes, darling, you’re in on this too!) were pregnant during our second trip to Bangkok at the start of this year.
Morning sickness and things that annoyed me:
I experienced nausea, vomiting, fatigue and heartburn x 1000! The most annoying bit was the heartburn as that was extremely uncomfortable.
We were observing a pantang to not make an announcement before the first trimester (and frankly, it was none of their business) but there were many speculations as to whether I was pregnant as I stopped drinking. To my disgust, these people weren’t even my girlfriends! It took me a long while to ignore them, I was really hurt, and stressed, and annoyed.
But once I stepped into the second trimester, I put all their nosy comments aside and personally told the people who mattered to me, most over a cup of tea or lunch. I smile each time I think about their expressions – the genuine expression of shock and happiness of my cousins and best friends. Those moments were priceless.
Baby bump and maternity clothes:
I managed to get through my sister’s wedding (stepping into my 3rd month) without showing. I attended my best friend’s wedding dinner last weekend. I’m already showing but I wonder why some people still walked up to me and asked why I wasn’t drinking…err…isn’t it obvious? My friends were equally puzzled.
Anyway, I refuse to buy maternity clothes because they aren’t flattering. Instead, I make do with lots of flowy dresses and loose clothing. I don’t know how much longer I can do this 
At our previous scan:
At the 20 week anomaly scan, the baby decided to not co-operate- closed legs when we wanted to confirm the gender, covered face with tiny fists when we wanted to get a 3D image. A cheeky baby indeed.
i wonder who the baby got the cheeky-ness from, hmmmm???
Congrats! Congrats! Congrats!
**shocking news!**
Congrats x 1000. Hopefully your heartburn will get better. Pregnancy is really not an easy feat.
Congrats to both of you again and can't wait to see the lil one in Nov!
