the dreaded bug
i’ve recently caught a flu bug from a colleague and am now suffering an itchy throat and stuffy nose. *sigh*
i have to admit that my first experience with pregnancy has so far been a lovely one. my almost nonexistent bouts of morning sickness or cravings puts a huge relief on both me and of course the husband, especially, who has been gearing up for the worst.
but of course having this flu suddenly see me experiencing tiny bouts of sickness to my otherwise vomit-free pregnancy. ammar’s still in jakarta on his business trip and i feel like i need him even more now especially with the condition i’m in which adds another new dimension of uncomfortableness to my already sleepless nights. maybe it’s the additional hormones but i feel so dependent on my husband. now more than ever. i don’t know how mama manages to carry me the whole nine-months all by herself with abah all the way in the States.
other than that, everything else is just lovely. :)
we went for a scan the other day and as much as i’d anticipated how the moment would play out, nothing would ever prepare me for how i’d felt emotionally. watching our baby take form and seeing it’s little heartbeat flutter was the most magical and mesmerizing experiences of my life.
i felt so humbled by the whole experience.
i pray to make the most of this beautiful gift from Allah swt. and try to be the best that i can be, insyaallah. it’s still a long way to go, but for all that You’ve blessed me with now… syukran ya Allah.
