It's finally time to let the whole world and it's uncle know, I am expecting my second baby! A few days back, I had visited my friend and her baby, and while I cradled the little fellow, I knew I couldn't wait for my second little one. I am 4 months pregnant now.
And this pregnancy is so different in all the things that I did. I primarily spent the first trimester job hunting, the second has started, and am settling into a new job. I told my boss my news, after a month in the new job. In a fair world, it shouldn't matter.
My organisation beleives in diversity and inclusion, so I don't think it should matter. But on my side, I am working hard now, so I will have a reputation to fall back on.
Like any pregnancy, this is one too is full of worries. I could write essays on my long list of worries. But as always we will focus on the positives. And I will care for myself , and I will see this phase through.
I am showing already, past the phase where people wonder if I am pregnant or fat. Like I always say, pregnancy is a wonderful excuse to be fat. No figure/size worries for us mommy-to-bes.
And before I forget, I must note down my most beautiful pregnancy memory - Sanjay giving me my iron tablet every night, with attention to detail - holding a bottle of water in the other hand. He never forgets. At nights, he even helps me with my blanket when I am plain lazy to get up and pull it over myself.
I don't spend as much time as I did the first time aournd, thinking about or reading about pregnancy, I am busy mom already, aren't I?
There can be no relief as that which one feels after telling truth. I felt that once I told in my workplace. So far so good! :)
