I cannot think blank. Not now. This should blast out my come backing blog after what, almost half a year already?
You see, a LOT has taken place. And I’m too slow to be that preoccupied (and maybe too lazy) to take everything into account. See my train of thought’s kind of worked up now. Nonetheless, this year’s been really good to me, even just almost half-way through.
It started way off, with me having dengue fever amidst the New Year celebration, lasted about a couple of weeks, and man did I feel really sick! Looking back, I still couldn’t believe it hit me. Nah, because until I had it, I was thinking I was impervious! I was in a haze having gone back to work. There was a lot of catching up to do. And yes, I was a mess. A hot mess. I mean a hot-headed mess!
Jef and I eyed something relevant come the following month; our sort of make or break thing, I thought. It was defying. We ought to be moving a notch higher, and this was its tip off.
Now did I say it was a tip off?
By the first week of March, I was almost 13 weeks on the way! The sole surprise I have come to love so dearly it brought me to prayers. The feeling was overwhelming and unimaginable at the same time. I feel blessed having both Jef and our baby. Plus, both our families that despite the bombshell of events, were supportive all the way.
And oh clashes, they were frequent. His ideas not meeting mine, or mine not meeting his. Tempers shot up. And I was crying out of frustration. How can preparing for something beautiful be this tiring ugly!
But everything fell into place. The sight of yellow soothed my whacked senses. The atmosphere’s kind of festive already. Then I knew walking the streets of Divisoria in high noon was all worth it!
By the end of the 9th day of May, I was Mrs. Jeffrey Adap already.
And by this time, I am 26 weeks on the way feeling my baby’s recurrent little nudges.
I have to thank the genes though, I haven’t ballooned so much despite my amplified appetite, and for my husband-'chef' always willing to cook me sumptuous dishes, crack me jokes and put me to sleep- this has got to be a good life! :)
