My Bumpy Journey – Third Month (December) – Part 1

“Once you have seen and heard its tiny heartbeats, you can never unsee or unhear them. Once you have fallen in love with the tiny ball of life, you can never unlove it. You would strive hard to keep it safe, sound, happy and healthy. Even if something unfortunate is going to happen to it, it will always hold a special place in your heart. Such is the intensity of this true love.”

I would call this month as the Almost Apocalyptic Month. Wait, that particular incident would be addressed only in Part 2 of this month. Let me begin with December 1st. I decided to take an off on that day. No, I wasn’t feeling lethargic. I didn’t have morning sickness too. In fact, I didn’t  have morning sickness or much vomiting throughout my pregnancy. I just needed a break on that day. My workload was increasing day by day and I thought I could do with a break. Besides, December 2nd was Milad-un-Nabi and so I had an extended weekend to enjoy. Friday and Saturday passed by as usual. On December 3rd, my husband and I decided to host a pre-anniversary lunch for our family. We headed to Zaitoon restaurant for a scrumptious lunch consisting of various non-vegetarian dishes.

Well, even during the first trimester, I didn’t restrict myself from eating my favourites (except chicken). So, I gorged on some delectable dishes and finished with a delicious brownie cake. The next day was our first wedding anniversary, but we had to zoom off to our respective workplaces. I distributed sweets to my colleague and my branch manager. Since it was a Monday, there were many customers visiting our branch and I was engaged with loads of work the entire day. Anyhow, we cut a huge rainbow fresh-cream cake in the evening and celebrated our special day.
