Nearing the end of my 20th week and I'm feeling great! So far no complaints about back aches or stretch marks and I really hope the second half of this pregnancy will be smooth sailing!
So my dearest John has fallen sick with a high fever. He's been stressing at work lately which has negatively affected his immunity. Poor baby. I wish I could take away all his sickness but I'm carrying our child and I need to protect the little one. Can't afford to fall sick for the next 4 months at least!
My bump is getting more noticeable now although some colleagues say I hide it very well under flowy tops and breezy dresses.
Well now that I've officially announced it on Facebook I can wear whatever I want to work and not have to worry about what others may suspect/assume/think.
Speaking of which I just had a long time friend message me on FB and was all like "I didn't see any wedding pics on your feed" and I told him I'm not married and he went "wow announcing baby before marriage!" Uhm okay. I get that you carry conventional practices with you in your pocket and probably eat them for breakfast lunch and dinner - but not everyone is like that so try and be a bit more sensitive with your words..
Honestly, and like I told him straight, conventionally speaking you graduate from school, get a job, meet mr/ms right, get married then have kids and then retire and die. Why must I stick to conventions? Why must I follow what the norm dictates for me and for my life?
Nope. I choose to keep the baby and have my wedding ceremony 2 years down the line. I love John. And I know that he loves me. We both care so deeply for each other and want only the best for our baby and his future so that really, is all that matters the most to us.
God has blessed us with a miracle baby - one that wasn't even supposed to be conceived because of my PCOS and that's why we treasure this beautiful gift even more.
As Steve Jobs nicely puts it in his famous quote.. "don't be trapped by dogma..." & I can't agree more. I want this baby and I am going to make sure that I work super hard so he can have a good life.
Daddy & Mummy love you so much AJ.
