Pregnancy Edition 2: The Tests

Date: 04/06/2015

It's early in the morning and mommy hasn't felt any better the whole week. So mommy decides to go and take the test. And to her utmost surprise, mommy finds out that she is pregnant. She is so much relieved and she goes to tell daddy about it. Daddy is in deep sleep. The minute mummy shows the test stick to daddy, daddy starts to talk in a sleepy voice and starts to scold mommy -"Yen Bambi ippove pannu...saturday varaikkum wait panna sonnen illa...." goes on and on. And the minute he sees the test results which shows positive for pregnancy goes totally insane. daddy says "Appadina...Appadina". Then gets up to hug mommy. And then when mommy says she is getting late for the office and has to go and take shower, daddy says...why are you going to office..why r u going to office..lets take the day off and carry on sleeping. pushed by mommy, daddy finally agrees to get ready and go to the office.

The next day again mommy and daddy wake up early to take the second test to confirm the pregnancy and the test stick again shows positive sign for pregnancy.. Yay! Elated we bot head for work and then plan to celebrate during the weekend.

We request for a GP appointment and given a slot on the 11th of June. Mommy and Daddy can't wait to announce the pregnancy to Thathas and Pattis.

Date: 11/06/2015

The GP said the home tests are 99% right and based on that we can confirm the pregnancy. The due date was around the first week (2nd to be exact) of Feb as my first day of the last period was 26th April. The GP asked mommy to start taking some multivitamins and booked me with the maternity practice as they'll be monitoring throughout the course of the pregnancy. And I booked in for a maternity check-up in Royal Infirmary for the 30/06/2015.

That night, mommy and daddy called up thathas and pattis in CBE and Trichy to tell them the good news. On hearing the news, all of them were elated and congratulated mommy and daddy.

Daddy and mommy decided to take two more pregnancy tests to confirm the pregnancy and both the tests came out as positive.
  

Pregnancy Edition 1: THe onset of symptoms

Date : 30/05/2015
Hi my dear baby,

I know this is the first time I'm writing something to/for you. Yes baby, this is the first time we found out that we were having you . the date was 30th May 2015 and we were off to spend a BBQ evening with Iain, Jeny and Neil in Edinburgh. We started out around at 1-ish from the house and Mom and Dad did not have anything to eat. So we stopped at a McDonalds on the way and mom had a fish burger with a drink and dad had something to eat (must ask him; but I'm sure he wouldn't know either). Then we started to drive again. In the travel mummy was feeling very un-easy  - just didn't know why but I wasn't my usual self. I kept wisting and turning but I was very happy from within that we were going for a BBQ party which was my first of a kind; and it turned out it was with my baby and ofc with daddy. As soon as we entered EBR, daddy was adamant to take a de-tour and visit a car showroom and take a test drive before going to Iain's house. Pushed by his requests, mommy unwillingly agreed to do it. We stopped at a showroom (God knows which company it was), and daddy like usual took a test drive. After which, we got back on our car and continued the journey, in which time mommy felt giddy and puke-ish. But since it was the first time, mommy had no clue that she was pregnant. We then reach Jeny's house and and mommy said to Jeny that she wasn't feeling well. Actually I was super hungry and could have started eating almost immediately but to her disappointment Iain had just bought a new BBQ m/c and had just got coal on it and started the fire. Jeny gave mommy some candy and soon after I had that, mommy was her usual self. mommy and daddy had an awesome time at the party and headed back home around 9ish. On the way back againg mommy started to feel sick and again we made a stop and Mc Donalds, bought a frappichino. Mommy twisted , turned and complained while daddy just kept comforting and driving. We finally reached home which felt like ages but it was he fastest we have ever travelled to/from EBR/GL. We then had a goodnight's sleep!

Next Day - 31/05/2015

Mommy starting feeling sore in her breasts and and her breasts being heavy.

Monday - 01/06/2015

Mommy was not feeling any better. The symptoms were the same. Her breasts were sore and heavy. And do you know what Mommy did....Mommy asked daddy to buy a pregnancy test kit for her...

Daddy true to his promise made to Mommy got the test kit on his way home but asked mommy not to take the test until the weekend. For if the results were not very good, our whole work week would be on a declining curve. And mommy agreed.

Dukan Feast

Couple of weeks back I had a total breakdown when i checked my weight at a friend's place and I can say very much that it was very embarrassing. I brooded over it for a while until my friend introduced me to a protein diet called Dukan diet who had seen a considerable 10- 15 kgs(kilogram)loss in his body weight, best part -- without hitting the gym.
