2nd Trimester Is Officially Here!

Hi Baby,

Yes! Mommy is excited that we have hit 2nd trimester (if calculations is correct) safe and sound and no drama.

1st trimester recap:

• Was amazed to discover I am pregnant the day before my birthday, and had immediately forgotten what age am turning to.
• At the height of mommy's morning sickness, I was still able to make bentos for daddy. Because of that, whenever mommy look at the bento pictures, mommy feels ill immediately and most of the food I can't eat because the memory of being sick just came over me.
• Mommy was being really good in the first trimester making sure slept early, was already in bed by ten in the evening, leaving daddy and Shazam! to their own devices.
• Had to be careful of what can and cannot eat, there's a whole list of them.
• Mommy kept a pregnancy book, in it contains food list, nutrients list, and workout list. Not the kind of pregnancy book people are expecting.
• Mommy can't eat chicken when pregnant because it makes me feel like I want to throw up and good chance probably will never eat chicken again just like your grandma lambak.
• Had major issue with the kitchen sink, nose was so hyper sensitive I can smell the stink of the drain even though cleaning agents and baking soda with vinegar was poured down it.
• Disinfected the kitchen with dettol, it smelt like a hospital for a week.
• Was tired all the time, had a hard time getting to work!
• Cleaning house with great difficulty...
• Bewildering first antenatal appointment.
• Had to learn how to walk slow.
• Couldn't do hash.
• Trying to keep you a secret.

So far that's all mommy can remember...

There are now two cats in the house.

Mommy been busy trying to raise money for Animal Shelter, been making cards, ornaments and whatever me and Auntie Wina (mommy's cousin) can think of. There has been lots of late nights.

Oh, also now mommy notice can't eat much and I keep on forgetting to eat slow or else food is backed up and throwing up will happen.

Mommy also need to check with the dentist, gums all sore and red. I keep on forgetting to make an apppointment... when you're around, I guess we'll be going to the dentist quite regularly. We'll get daddy to take you.

Today daddy won't be home for dinner, he's attending a conference ball and mommy got hash with the ladies, and grandma mata-mata is making assam laksa! Yes!

Love,
Mom
