Baby stuff survey and pre-shopping

It's been a strange transition overall. I have to suddenly get myself updated with all these things for maternity and nursing and baby care. I am slowly getting used to it. Slowly. Shu's sisters and my friends have been great help and a lot of people have been providing a lot of information based on experience and stuff.I just need to narrow down the important things first when the baby arrives. I know it's a bit early but you can never be too sure.I might accidentally miss some things out.

Well, yeah. Baby things are all so colorful and yummy looking. My mum has been keeping a lookout on playpens and strollers although,I don't think a stroller is necessary yet.A colleague of mine have been helpful about breastfeeding tips.A friend of mine gave me loads of info about being in confinement and things the baby will need.

I still can't believe I have a baby in my tummy and that I am going to be mom! O_o

Husband

My husband and I have known eachother since we were 16.It's insane to think how far back that was looking at where we are now.I admit to being a pain in the ass. I was back then,I still am now although not as often (hopefully).He's always supportive of me no matter what I do but the best thing about him is that he is constantly steering me into the right direction (considerating the fact that I tend to get insane and make decisions in the spur of the moment).
Yes,we fought a lot in the last couple of years of being married and even before that.I would say most of our fights are over the tiniest things which I can hardly remember.Other times,we fight over things to make things better for the both of us.I am childish,I'll admit that.
He's been taking really good care of me especially now that I am pregnant and all.My parents told me that I would never find someone who would take care of me as much as he does.It's true.I can hardly take care of myself and I wouldn't know what I would do without him.
Honestly,I cannot imagine myself being married to anyone else.

Pregnancy and being pregnant

Before I discovered I was pregnant, I really thought I was probably putting on weight starting with my tummy area. It's usually flat unless I have gastrict or something. I just couldn't figure out why it was bulging out the way it did. It wasn't obvious but because I know my body so well, I knew that something was wrong. Luckily, I did a pregnancy test first before jumping into my running shoes or I could have lost the baby.

So yes,it just after our second year anniversary and I discovered I was pregnant.We were so psyched! I was partially freaking out.I still am.I wasn't sure what to expect.I wasn't sure what needed to be done.One thing I did realize was that I suddenly realize how badly I took care of myself health wise.I was thin not because I was healthy but because I was constantly neglecting my needs especially where food is concerned.I just wasn't big on eating and it wasn't something I was much interested in.

When I got into my first trimester, I was sick.My hormones were changing drastically and I was sick. I was constantly throwing up.I couldn't eat the food I used to like.Things which had the scents that I like made me so sick that I would throw up.I hardly use perfume anymore coz they make me sick.I hate the smell of that Ambi Pur we hang in our cupboards.I can't wear anything with the slightest smell of that.

Then,I got hospitalized several times due to dehydration from all the throwing up.My body wouldn't let me drink plain water.I couldn't eat pretty much anything.It was horrible.But throughout it all,I was constantly praying and hoping that my baby would be ok.And he was.In fact,he was jumping everytime we had an ultrasound scan.I was almost in tears when I first heard his heartbeat.He seems like a happy baby.I hope he is.

Now I am 16 weeks into my pregnancy.I am not throwing up as much as I used to although,my gastrict problem is still pretty severe.I have to constantly feed myself which is a bit hard to do.I have also been losing weight instead of putting on weight and because of that,my baby is about a week smaller than the size he ought to be.I'm trying to feed him and myself but it's just not that easy.My gastrict needs to be tamed in order for me to get my diet back on track.
