Before and After

I am so tired. I am Months away to giving birth. My back is killing me. It felt as though I am going through acupuncture. Baby Samuel is down with fever. Pity my baby. I've been on a massive attack of mood swings. Tetchy to be exact. Everyone at home is trying their best to stay away from me. Easily irritated if asked or talked too much. Hubby has been nothing but supportive and understanding. I kept blaming him for my dispositions right now. Being the loving husband, he is very calm and extremely tolerant with my craps. Never once he complained about me being over the edge. Poor Hubby as he has to endure all my endless rantings and bad temper. How can i not love him more each day? Sleep have been very precious. And a boogie night to organize. Heh! After my previous post, I have been rained by phrases that i don't look as if I am 7 months pregnant. But I am. Here are the facts to validate it. Before, I weighed 46kg, now, I weigh 51.8kg(recently taken during my gynae check up on last Tuesday). Before, my waistline was 25, now, I can even put on Hubby pairs of jeans of size 30. Before, I put on either size S or XS, now, I put on size M. Before, my sitting posture was full of elegance, now, I look like Humpty Dumpty. Before, my strides impersonates the catwalk of Naomi Campbell, now, I walk like the mascot of CAMPBELL SOUP CAN AD CAMPAIGN. Before, I was a glutton, eating as much as I can, now, I'll suffer from heartburns if I do so. Before, I could walk vigorously, now, I need to take a rest after every twenty steps. Before, I hate being in freezing cold rooms, now, I live in a freezer. Before, I will smell rosy and flowery fresh after every shower, now, I sweat a lot that I smell like an expired can of sardine. Before, I am a loving, bubbly wife and daugther, now, I am the grim-faced of the two. There, the phenomenal sight of me which pinpoints that I am 100% pregnant. It sounds as if I am complaining. NO. I have no qualms over the diverse and unique experiences of being pregnant. I enjoyed every moments of it. To those petrified by my over glorified notion of pregnancy 'side effects', don't be! It is an experience to die for. To this, Ya ALLAH, thank you for the gift of life.
