Week 11

I`ve been moody, cranky and flatulent like never before. Last Friday was my first booking appointment with the midwife and the first scan is on the 27th of Feb. A full 17 days before I get to set my eyes on you for the very first time !!
The wait is killing but what is more depressing is that there is nothing to look forward to before then.
The days just chug along and I keep rubbing my growing belly. Wondering how many people are taking me to be an irresponsible glutton trying to hide the holiday fat (which should be long gone by now) under layers of winter clothes.
I don't feel like shopping. Don't feel like cooking. Nothing !! Just aches and pains and weird scary dreams.

But yeah the cravings are there. Of being loved and reassured that I still am the same person I was. Of that hyped pregnancy glow - that still eludes me. Of Hyderabadi Biriyani from Victoria Road, Bhojohari Manna`s Daab chingri, Samosa`s from Sharma`s and Maa`s chhoto maach.

Straddling two places in my heart - Bhubaneswar and Derby. Between Mommy-Daddy and Saby. Aaarrrghhh !!!
