HUMP AHEAD

This morning as I was sitting on the bed staring at the contents of my wardrobe, I thought I made a very smart move by choosing my green baju kurung. Since the baju kurung is loose-fitting, I thought I'd be more comfortable and I won't have to deal with the marks on my waist caused by my ever-tightening pants I usually wear to work. When I looked at the mirror after dressing, the baju kurung was a little snug in the tummy area and then I realised there was a small bump on my tummy. Already??? So soon?? Oh No!!!! Looks like I will have problems getting into most of my clothes soon. Its way too early to invest in new clothes maybe I should start pilfering from Umi's wardrobe hehe.

I so wanted to change into something less obvious (since nobody in the office knows yet and I do not intend to announce my pregnancy anytime soon) but He insists I keep it on. He keeps saying we are running late but that gleam in his eye tells me he would much rather see the bump. Wait till I look like I swallowed a basketball then we'll see how he feels!!!

Since a week ago, ever since I found out I was preggers, I realised when I needed to eat I needed to eat that very instant. Its like hunger pangs of the extreme kind, like I haven't had food for 3 days. But apparently thats not the worst of it. Yesterday we were running late in the morning (as we usually are) and we didn't have time for breakfast. I downed one cup of Milo and didn't think much of it. At 11.30am, I began to feel my stomach rumbling. It was still an hour and a half to lunch and if I ate something heavy now I'd surely be too full for lunch. By 11:45 the hunger pangs was so unbearable. It felt like the insides of my stomach was being clawed at so I took out the Julie's Love letters I keep a stash of in my drawer and began munching. One packet was not enough to satiate my pangs neither was two but since it was a little bit better, I endured it till lunch.

During lunch, I was so hungry still, I ordered quite a few dishes from the nasi Padang stall but halfway thru eating, I lost interest and left the remainder unfinished. I called Him to tell him of my predicament and as expected, he became worried that I was hungry and I didn't eat. So on the way home we stopped by the grocery store and He bought all of these for me to keep in the office with strict instructions not to share. hehe


Lisa U were right. This is a mini grocery store. hehehe
