Ok! So! I am guessing and hoping really that all of you that are now reading my blog are as thrilled as I am with the prospect of the baby (and freaking George out by calling him Dad)! J Haha! Only joking! George is as excited as I am, if not more, and I couldn’t have wished for better support in this “difficult” and amazing time!

Now, you are probably wondering: what is she talking about? Difficult? Are you serious? You are pregnant which you’ve wanted for so long, you have the support of your husband and family, and you almost certainly get your way on a daily basis as a result of being pregnant, because people are being extra nice and protective over you! True! But there are certain aspects of a pregnancy that are not usually discussed out there.

See, I thought being pregnant was just going to be me with a huge bump J walking around showing it off and eating whatever I fancied because the baby is craving strawberries in the middle of the winter! Well, let me tell you! This is NOT the case! Hehe I was told I will get a bump at around month 5 (that’s more than half of the pregnancy not being able to show it off!!), I was told to be careful not to put any weight for the 1^st three months (really? I have already put on 1 kg in 2 weeks) and noone ever told me about all the symptoms!! Yes, we all know about the sickness, which I am quite lucky! I haven’t had any yet! But what about the tiredness? I read that it will go away in month 4 onwards, though my mum insists she had hers up until the little ones where born! Hmm What about the backache just because I stood in a line for 20 min? What about being constantly bloated (I don’t mind that too much it makes me look pregnant!!) and more importantly, what about the tears??

I will change paragraph for this one because it is very very important for all of you who want to be pregnant to really understand this!! Now, I’m not the toughest cookie in the world, but I don’t really get upset very easily either. Now my hormones are all over the place! And I mean all over the place! Listen to this. The other day I was watching the x-factor. Most of you have watched such shows at some point or another! Half way through I cried just because I saw a family backstage supporting their daughter! Standard practice Marikaki!! Really!! Last night we were watching the Wedding Planner with Jennifer Lopez, again I start to whip –George just sits there and laughs at me as he finds it hilarious!!-. Today I stood on the line for 1,5 to check in at Heathrow (Thanks OA for a wonderful experience, I hope you see me in one of your flights soon!NOT) and I swear I felt tears coming! I then got on the plane 4 hours delayed, sat at the back on my own (free seating) and had a good cry, followed by an even better laugh as I realized how pathetic I am! So if you ever see me walking down the street with tears in my eyes laughing, you’ll know what is going on in my head! On my defence, they say its normal!

Well, to sum up, its great being pregnant! I love it! You sometimes worry too much if all is ok in your belly, but hey our baby is strong and I’m sure he/she/they’ll make it all the way! So brace you’re selves because next week is our first scan, and we are hoping to be able to see the heartbeat and our 2cm 7week old baby by then!

Till then!

Interesting fact: Our baby's heart began to beat this week. . .
