towards the end
May 28, 2013I’m coming to 9 months pregnancy now and it’s getting closer. Dean’s not letting me handle any new projects in the office which SUCKS because I am sooooo bored and I have way too much time to do… well, nothing. All I have left is my special Vivy Yusof collection with a brand to be revealed soon, and the design process is completed so it’s already undergoing production. So besides photoshoots and TVCs, I’m pretty much done with work.
All I do in my free time is surf online baby websites and wanting to go to Mothercare to… well, shop. It’s really not healthy for anyone when I’m out loose in a shop.
I’m feeling pretty anxious to be honest. Nervous, scared, excited. I’m at the point where I really want my baby out and I want to hold it in my arms… But at the same time, I’m like, OMG I’m going to have a child. A living and breathing child!! It’s not like a toy I can put down whenever I’m done with it, or like a handbag that I can store in the closet. It’s a living soul that cries, screams, poops and wants breast milk. And I have to answer to God for whatever happens to it. Gahhhh!!!! I’m not ready for this, but then again, who really is ready for motherhood? Just gotta roll with it!
Physical wise, I’ve gotten pretty huge. Remember the blogpost that I was upset no one knew I was pregnant? Well, eager beaver, they know now. In fact, they think you’re having twins!! My belly is protruding out like Pinocchio’s nose and I look so disproportionate that Dean sometimes just rubs my belly and the only word he can mouth out is wow. I sent a picture of my belly to my London girls and I’m pretty sure I’ve scared them off marriage and motherhood. “Gross, that is NOT normal, Beek!!”ย and “Ok, am breaking up with my boyfriend,” they write back. Those are your London aunts, Baby D.
Comfort wise, there is none. I’m pretty much uncomfortable 24-7. If it’s not heartburn, it’s the tightness feeling. If it’s not the tightness feeling, it’s hot flushes. If it’s not hot flushes, it’s the fatigue. If it’s none of the above, it is definitely back pain. Ah, back pain… my biggest challenge this pregnancy. (But I still hug my heels and talk to them everyday… I’m sick.)ย I can’t really sleep anymore without tossing and turning, and when I wake up, my back feels like it’s about to break.
Dean and I went to a baby store and to rest, I sat down on this one chair. I had no idea that chair was for sale, I thought it was one of those nice understanding shops that provide resting places. As soon as I sat down, I just let out a big nice Aaaahhh…. It felt soooo good and I later learned that it was a nursing chair that rocked. Less than 1 minute, a salesman with a “vulnerable pregnant lady” radar came to me, “It’s for sale, Ma’am. We have this in grey and beige.”
You little…
“I’ll take it.”
Three words that will turn Dean’s head around so fast it hurts.
Dean looked at me.
“No no, you don’t understand. Come sit, baby, come sit…” and I dragged him to the chair.
He was silent for a few seconds and said, “Ahhhhhh… Ok, let’s take this baby home.”
Yes!!!
So we did the necessary and told the salesman we need it delivered.
“No problem, Ma’am. Let us check our delivery schedule. The earliest we can deliver is in 2 days time.”
“No no.. I need this chair now.”
“But ma’am, it’s 9 pm…”
“Please, sir. You don’t understand. I can’t sleep. I need to sleep. I really miss sleep. Please, sir, deliver it tonight.”
So at 11 pm….
And at 11.01 pm….
God bless you, BebeHaus. Really.
Enjoy your pregnancy whiles it lasts, Vivy. It’s a bit difficult and causes discomfort towards the end, but you’ll surely miss it once your baby is growing bigger. Motherhood is a new experience and i’m sure you will enjoy it.I hope you will have a smooth delivery. Best of luck in whatever you are doing.
You are not that huge Vivy, saw you at Zara the other day. You look fantastic for a 9 months pregger lady!
Good luck with motherhood!
Ahh.. back pain is what u wont miss after pregnancy! Not to burst your bubble or anything but my baby is 7 months now and i have not gotten more than 2 straight hours of sleep since he was born *cringe* hope u’ll be luckier than me.
You’ll rock motherhood Vivy!
enjoy ur time vivy! ๐ pls do. at least, u manage to carry ur child till 9months…i lost my twins at 3months and it was super heartbreaking ๐
dearest vivy, Allah jadikan semua dengan sebabnya…im 27 years old and hd a pair of adorable kids…i also experienced x cukup tido masa pregnant..sakit dan sebagainya…x selesa…tapi for me it train us (mother) to prepare before u hv baby…baby pun akan jg malam paling kurang pun untuk menyusu…so, sepanjang 9 bulan kite pregnant sebenarnya akan mengajar kita serba sedikit bagaimana untuk menghadapi baby(anak) akan datang…wish u luck vivy…
u are really lucky vivy, u can buy anything u want (most of the time). for me i just sleep at very cheap bed and have to bear with back pain ๐
Wahh looks comfy! I’m reaching 9months too and i started feeling a bit of pain in the pelvic area. Getting ready for delivery in few weeks, i guess. and petite ladies like us; ppl tha see us always say that the tummy is not that big and everything, but actually it’s big for a petite ones! lolx. I went to see my doctor and she said the baby is big for a small lady like me! (When actually the baby grows with the right size and weight! Haha)
No worries too much, vivy. You’re doing great and you gonna be a great mom, insyaAllah ๐
oooh dearie, those pain you’re going thru are part parcel of pregnancy. i know it feels terrible but it’s just a shy of few weeks away. once you hold the baby for the very 1st time, you will cry and say “every minute was worth it”.. take care dearie..
It is a very good buy. It will come very useful post delivery for nursing and during confinement.
Ya Rabbi bakal mommy,
what a sacrifice you have gone through. I’m touched looking at your picture in this post. Besar pahala perempuan mengandung ni. Baby D, if you’re reading this, please appreciate your mom, love her for eternity, never forget to visit her selalu when you’re all grown up. Have a safe delivery Vivy comel!
LOL! You are too cute! Here’s a goodluck and a pre-congratulatory wish from Atlanta to you, little Miss Posh Spice! ๐
xoxo
