When everything is nauseating

If you're wondering why such title, read the previous post. I ain't gonna repeat it again. I warn you, don't mess with an irritable, nauseated pregnant woman.

While every smell is nauseating and every food can't make its way into my tummy without making me feeling like throwing up, Agastya has been a very good boy. He's started speaking and copying more words. He even tried to give me massages once in a while (Nagi only had to do it once for Aga to know I liked it). Didn't give any effect but the attention made my eyes brimmed with happy tears. He doesn't stomp on his feet demanding to get out of the house like before, as I don't have that much energy in me either. He sleeps well, eats well. He could play by himself next to me while I'm lying down feeling like stomach's inside out. His toilet training is also doing very well. He signals me when he wants to piss or poo. Bless him. I know he enjoyed his outings so I do try to take him out at least every other day. You wouldn't believe how many times I've praised him 'Good boy!'

Been surviving on Visali's cooking this week. I can't cook, oh the smell. I have to cook for Agastya, that's about my limit for a day. I can't cook anymore for myself. Visali's food somehow are not that nauseating, so I've asked her to cook more for me so I could freeze them. All I have to do it warm them up. Oh, the smell of freshly boiled rice is still very very nauseating. Bless her too.

Was it planned ?

Any self respecting person would detest to hear the following statement: Was it planned ?

Well, I ask you this: You have been doing something consciously and come up with some extraordinary upshots that even confound your boss who could never be convinced. So, if he says "Brilliant, did you mean for that to happen" a good rejoinder for that would be "No bull fuck, it just came to pass out of the blue".

Why am I saying all this, did something happen at work ? No, not at all. My work mates and my boss think I am the real deal and a golden boy. So, no worries there at all.

But imagine, you say "My wife is pregnant" or your wife picks up the phone and calls someone and says "I am pregnant". Undeniably, we are not looking for "congratulations" or "well done mate": It is as if we are trying to say "Ok: This is for your information. Don't be surprised when the baby comes out in 9 to 10 months". Nothing more I suppose.

"Was it intended Mon?" says her mother !!

Bloody nosy doctor says "Oh, yes you are indeed with child. Was it planned"

WELL bloody yes !

Quick note: Yes, Monica is indeed pregnant and we are expecting a baby in late May / early June 2007.
