Beginnings are wonderful, aren't they? The butterflies you feel when you begin a new journey...the way your heart beats when you think about the future...the way your skin gets goosebumps when you know something is going to change...for the better. Yes, beginnings truly are wonderful :)
I decided to create this blog to capture the moments of what is said to be the most beautiful and precious time in a woman's life - her pregnancy. This phase is considered to be a right of passage into womanhood - just like marriage. However, although marriage brings together two souls, this phase of a woman's life is said to be the most important - a woman is next to God in bringing forth one of His beloved beings into this world. What an amazing thought! A woman is housing within her, for 9 months, a living being that will one day make her smile - and cry - make her proud, and perhaps hurt her at times...but, will always remain a cherished part of her being and soul. She is carrying within herself a little piece of heaven. And so here I am...with an angel growing inside me...and appropriately due on Christmas :)
I want to remember each moment. Time flies by so fast. It seems like only yesterday that I got married - and it has actually been a little over 6 years! And yet, although the journey has been memorable, I can only remember the highlights ;) Therefore, what better way to jog your memory in this day and age, than with a blog! One day, my child will be much older, able to read these posts, and I want him or her to know that there was love in my heart for them since the very first day that I knew I conceived. My baby love...I love you.
A little more about me: So, you know now that I've been married 6 years. My husband is wonderful, and is as excited as I am for this new arrival in our life :) We spent these years of marriage focusing on US...our marriage, our growth as a couple, and our growth as individuals - progressing in our careers to the point until we felt we were 'ready' for a baby in our life. I know - you shouldn't plan everything; after all, isn't it the spontaneity that makes it worth living? But, no harm in having some goals and milestones. I had always planned that even if I got married early (which I did at 22 - and yes, that means I am 28 now!) that I will do my MBA. Definitely glad to have that out of my way - I graduated in June 2009. Career-wise, I'm at the point where I wanted to be by the age of 30. I wanted to be a homeowner, which I am, and I have to say...it is my dream house! My husband is well-settled in his career - a business owner. Yup, I'm exactly where I wanted to be at this point in my life - with our little one now on the way! Life is good - and I thank God everyday for each one of my blessings!
I'm going to aim to use this blog as not only a profession of my love to my little one, but I do want this to be helpful to other expectant mothers or mothers-to-be. Everyone is different - and every pregnancy is different - so the symptoms and feelings I describe are to be taken with that in mind. I'm hoping to keep this updated weekly throughout my pregnancy (and thereafter!).
I'm currently in Week 8 - so I'll create a new post capturing what I've felt so far in the first 2 months of this pregnancy.
Stay tuned :)

P.S.: Love you, my little one :)
