“You are the closest I will ever come to magic.â€
― Suzanne Finnamore, The Zygote Chronicles
I’m creating my own magic and expecting a baby girl in two short months!
At times, pregnancy has been as beautiful as this photo shoot. I am fascinated that my body is forming a new body – cell by cell, hair by hair – without any conscious effort on my part. I truly have started to comprehend that life is a miracle and love to marvel at her active kicks and stretches.
My husband and I are amazed to be creating a life and developing and nurturing a new person in this world. We are humbled by this process and this opportunity; since we have already enjoyed being married for a few years already, we are also ready for this new phase in our relationship. I’m a very lucky lady and my husband has been supportive in every way from accompanying me to doctor’s appointments to ensuring that I always get a seat on the train.
But I have waited so long to share and haven’t even told all my Facebook friends about this because pregnancy is also terrifying. Unfortunately, it really is a scary process to watch your body change and not be in control of everything that may happen to you and your baby. I am fiercely protective of this young life, but also realize how vulnerable I am now. I had some pains earlier in the pregnancy and was anxious about circumstances beyond my control. Luckily, I got through that stage and we are both doing well. I now realize that being a parent is worrying about your child from conception until…forever. I am also sharing this now because I would want the support of loved ones (and you dear friends!) in every scenario.
So I’ll be making a few changes to this little space on the internet. I’ll be taking a little break from April and would love to have a few of you friends guest post here. Let me know if you’d be interested in posting! I’ll also be transitioning to another domain in the next few months. But don’t worry, this isn’t going to become a mommy blog though maybe I will talk about family life a bit more.
I’m happy to share this news with you and I hope you have a lovely week (and long weekend for my American friends!)
Ahhhhhhhhh….doll!!! Am so happy for you!! How amazing!!! Am so happy you are doing well, I know it can be a very scary time as your not always sure everything is ok in there, but I am sure you are doing awesome!! Ahh…so sweet 🙂 I have two girls and it was the most amazing experience ever, but also scary at times and sore. Babies are awesome, but they can drain you of every last energy, but I love my girls to bits. They are my life :))) Am so pleased for you…not far to go…I hope you are keeping well as can be!! Lots of love & well wishes and congrats to you and your husband, woooo!! So excited!! <33
Thank you so much dear! Yes, it is definitely a bit scary but I am glad I am doing better. I can only imagine how tiring and different life will be, but look forward to it! I hope you would consider guest posting over here as well doll – I’d love to have you!
Congrats!!! So happy for you. Lots of love and best wish xx
Thanks so much dear Tanvi! It is a crazy time for us, but we (or should I say I) are finally ready to transition to the next chapter. I hope that you would consider guest posting if you have a chance! I’d love to have you over here!

Thanks so much Rowena! Yes I’m glad that we are all doing well. It can be such a tumultuous time (and I guess it’s only the beginning!) I’m looking forward to everything in store and it will be exciting! I’d love to have you guest post as well if you have a chance in May!

Congratulations! I am so excited! Did you announce this earlier and I am spacing out! This is big news…and so soon! You little devil keeping that awesome secret – really happy for you!
Johanna, yes I kept it a secret until now! I was a bit cautious and worried in the first two trimesters, but am at the point where I am feeling better. I also realize I can only do so much right and should just stay healthy and go with it.
Thank you for the offer of advice! I’ve been reading a ton and am just anxiously waiting.
But I would love to have you over here on the blog when I take a break! I’m thinking I’ll be a little busy 😉
PS is if you need any help…let me know. As you know, my first was born at 30 weeks which was scary but everything worked out. We are here for you! Take care of you 3!
Oh hey, I totally missed this – huge congrats!
I can’t even imagine how scary it must be, but you clearly have a wonderful husband at your side and your are destined to be amazing parents. I’m so happy for you!
Oh I am so thrilled for you!!!! You both will be AMAZING parents. This is such great news! xx
Thank you so much Stacey! Yes, I only began telling people at this somewhat late point. You didn’t miss anything, but thank you for your note!
