mazulis staiga 6 menesos, vai tas ir normali?

While pregnant..

Before I start writing my story, I would like to thank you all for all the kind words about my blog. I am happy that there are people who enjoy reading it. You all make it even more fun!
We have all heard all the crazy stories about all the pregnant women. Their cravings in the middle of the night, how distracted they are, how nervous they are and just simply out of their mind. Well, guess what, my family knows all about that now :). And if you get to spend some 9 months with a preggo, please, just do everything her way, cause it is just the way it has to be for her and for the holy peace all around.
So - how I was? First of all, constantly sleepy. That actually really sucked, cause I wanted to do so much, but never had enough energy for anything. Whenever I would even get ready to go somewhere and do something, I felt ready to go to bed. I know that this irretated some of my friends, but what can you do..preggo is a preggo. Actually, I've never been that selfish in my life, as I was during my pregnancy. I really spoiled myself! Morning sickness..never really felt it. I just felt dizzy and blah at the beginning. I had no apetite at all, so instead of me gaining weight, I lost a lot of weight. Only when I was about 6 months pregnant I had my first + kilos. But the second part of pregnancy was just a marathon of weight gain. The hardest part about pregnancy I actually found the last month. It was June and it seemed so hot everywhere and my body felt so heavy. And everyone seemed to be doing things purposely the other way I would want them to be done. Ugh, I was pain in the back for my sister, for sure. But she knows I love her either way.
Ok, but let's talk about the emotional part of all this pregnancy journey. It was hard to really realize how are life's are about to change until I felt that tiny little thing kicking and moving inside. And then those kicks and moves were visible also on the outside. Aw, I miss that feeling. But, to be honest, you actually do realize that you are going to have a child only when you are holding the child in your arms. All the anatomy of the pregnancy and baby growing in the belly is not apprehensible for our minds. Even though I carried out a baby, it still seems pretty amazing, how such a perfect creation could've grown in me.
Ladies, so - try it out! :) And you will know all about it. And all the men who did read this till the end - love and spoil your preggos, they are carrying (or are about to carry some time in the lifetime) your child!

Finding out - I am pregnant!


There is nothing more magical than finding out - you're going to be a parent, well, at least there was nothing more magical for me. That excitement and tons of questions running through your mind and body..I can grow people! How amazing is that :) and what a gift is that! I do appriciate it.

It has been more than a year now - that I know, that I am a parent. We found out that we're going to have a child on November 4, 2008. Gosh, that sounds like it was looong time ago. Even before I got pregnant I was checking out on youtube and elsewhere on internet how do mommies-to-be announce THE NEWS to daddies-to-be. I also wanted to do it in a very special way as well, but when I knew - I'm pregnant, I could not keep this joy to myself. (well, I could for couple of hours :) ). And then - there was this horrific time called 1st trimester when you are not supposed to tell anyone you're pregnant, cause you never know.. that wasn't easy. Actually, I wasn't that bad, but daddy-to-be of my child was spreading the announcement almost right away. That was just such a special moment for us and we wanted to share the joy!

Now, when our little bundle of joy is here with us, smiling at us, laughing to our silly faces, I can not stop myself from the thoughts of another one. Perfect time would be in 4 years or so, but you never know - life has it's own plans for us. And let it be so. But being pregnant was such a great time of my life, that I definately want to feel that way one more time (at least). Preggos rule! :)

Getting started!

Well, here I am in the blogging world. I joined this to keep my social life alive, while staying at home and doing my full time job - taking care of my little baby boy. He was born on June 29, 2009, so he is a tiny bit more than 5 months old now. I am still new to the blogger world and still working on decorating my blog, so, please, be patient and don't give up on me. This is going to be fun for all of us :)

In my blog - I would like to share my pregnancy and motherhood experience. This will be interesting for other mommys-to-be and all the new parents, as we share the same experience. I' ve noticed that now, when I am a mother - I will always have a common topic to discuss with any other Mom or a preggo. There is truly nothing more interesting and exciting then a science of a child development. And for the rest of you, who are not expecting or not cradling someone by now, let my blogs be as my diary, that will help you follow through my journey of being a mother - truly the best thing ever happened to me!
