Here I go again...

I can barely remember how it was like during the 1st trimester of having Ian in my tummy, save for the key highlights, like seeing Ian for the first time through the scan, in a tiny 3.4mm yolk sac beating vigorously. That was the turning point from being depressed to all-embracing.

So 19 months on, with my 2nd child 6 weeks old in my belly, I found myself asking "was it like this the last time?!". This pregnancy definitely feels different. For one, I do not remember having this voracious appetite during the 1st trimester. This nauseous feeling sets in every few hours, and triggers very specific cravings to curb the nausea.

Like out of nowhere, I needed carrot cake. Needed is the word because any other foods will not help. Then there were chwee kuay, pastamania's pasta, fried beehoon. For the past few days I've been seeking food every 3-4 hours.

Only God can feed me and keep my weight gain below 11kg this time round! This coming week looks scary from here, I really don't know how I can go through it and do everything I want to do. I will have to take it one day at a time and just do it. So God, this week, it's on You. You will carry me through & I will come out smelling sweet still. :)
