eyes on the prize
January 16, 2015As I write this, I am on my back on the floor because this seems to be the only comfortable spot.
I have peed 8 times in the past hour and my heartburn has made me want to puke like mad tonight (should not have had curry for dinner). And the worst thing about acid reflux is that once you puke, more puke will want to come out throughout the night. So I have been in and out of the toilet puking bit by bit, and my poor throat is very tired of it all. I might as well sleep on the toilet floor tonight.
I would gladly vent at Dean right now since he did this to me, but he’s had such a long day at work I will just let him rest tonight. And Daniel has been a good listener so far but even he is fast asleep now. So I will just turn to you, my very kind and patient blog reader who has to read my whines and pains.
The whole pregnancy journey this second time round has been pretty easy, actually. But just like Daniel’s time, the last couple of months are the worst for me. Backache, heartburn, hot flushes, praying on the chair, puking… I can’t even sleep anymore without changing spots from the bed to the sofa to the armchair to the floor. I’m lucky if I can sleep 4 hours a night these days. If you recorded me and fast-forwarded me moving from one spot to another, I seriously could pass off as a comedy scene. Workwise, I’ve been taking it slow like I said I would in my previous blogpost. But I do come into the office for a while everyday and I would sigh in exhaustion and waddle my way around the office. One of my colleagues just got pregnant and I’m like “So you signed up for this??”, hands supporting my back and panting like mad. Haha totally scared the crap out of her.
Oh well. Every pregnant woman goes through this and the only thing we can comfort ourselves with is that at the end of this all, we will be blessed with a beautiful child, Insyaallah. And it will all be worth it. Eyes on the prize!
And plus, when you’re in pain, your sins are being cleansed.
I must have a lot of sins. *cries a river*
stay strong,mommy V!! few more weeks to go. In sha Allah, you can do it!
Salam..hi Vivy.. this may sound strange,but I really wish 1 day I could have a chat with you personally. I am so proud of what you have been through and always pray for you and your family being under His bless all the time. I am your silent (not so silent anymore since I comment here) reader.. ๐ Take care always..
Your post tonight is what I really need right now….. I just started having lower back pain yesterday noon. It is so painful and uncomfortable that make me want to have c-sec right now coz those articles from internet said that the pain will go away after the baby come out. I am only at 34 weeks!!! Feel like hopeless and lazy pregnant woman because I might need to apply for unpaid leave at my office if this pain doesnt go away this weekend. I can’t do my usual house chore. I cant even able to pick up my phone on the floor :(. You post tonight motivates me a lot to be more patient and think positive of this pregnancy journey…Thanks a lot!
Aww terharunya u mengadu pada your readers! Hehe. Anyway be strong V! Bear with it just for few more weeks. Me also very bad one. Muntah2 for the whole 9mo of pregnancy!! Tak boleh lie flat or else semput teruk. Pinggang rasa mcm nak tercabut everytime jalan banyak sikit. Sini sakit situ sakit, semua sakitlah kiranya! Haha. Tapi alhamdulillah sakit semua hilang masa anak keluar dari rahim ni. All the best V! ๐
well my dear, that is just one of the many reasons why Jannah lies beneath our mother (applies to single ladies & all men out there).. the hardship that we go through can only be understood by few.. “Verily, in every hardship there is an ease” an mentioned in surah Kursi. I pray that you will have an easy labor and be blessed with a beautiful child. Jazakallahu khayran kathia vivy dear
Why are you so cute mommy V!!!! ^_____^
Vivy I feel you! I am at 38 weeks and for me the worst thing is the heartburn. You feel hungry all the time but you eat a little bit too much, you’ll suffer the nauseating uncomfortable cant let you sleep heartburn. Hope it gets better for you and me!
Go go mommy Vivy! Sikitttt je lagi =D
in the same boat here. 32wks now. good luck to us!
Assalamualaikum w.b.t;
Semoga ALLAH permudahkan segala urusan Vivy sekeluarga, aaminn yrb.
