Off To The Next Trimester

I got past the first trimester, thank God!

I’m looking forward to those less-morning-sickness days, as promised. Everybody is anticipating for the baby bump. (Mine’s still small but I can see that it’s starting to come out.) My appetite is just the same – uncontrollable! It just feels so good when I crave for something and then I get it right away. Like it’s the most delicious food I’ve ever eaten in my life. Right now, I always go for potatoes. I don’t know why but I love french fries and hash browns. Weird because I didn’t believe that you can actually salivate for a particular food, but here I am, always trying to get my hands on those oh-so-great baked potatoes.

Aside from the usual “pregnant-hood” stuff, I am experiencing something deeper. Sometimes I catch myself thinking how magical it is to carry a child. Imagining how the baby grows and survives inside my own body gives me goosebumps. I’m in awe just by realizing that I’m being a part of His marvelous plan to create life.

Okay I better stop before I burst into tears (FYI, unavoidable dramatic episodes are acceptable when you’re expecting! :D).

Hay, I’m getting hungry again.
