Read the Sign: "I AM PREGNANT"

I want to hang that sign around my neck.

After months of hiatus from the world, I am starting to have good days, and these good days are becoming more and more frequent (Thank God!), I take advantage of any chance I get to go out and see something more than just the 4 corners of our house (and for some fresh air and sunlight, too!).

The other day, I was finally able to go to the salon for a much needed haircut. The first thing my stylist told me "Tumaba ka!". Defensive me, I was quick to rebut "I'm pregnant!".

Last night, a friend joined us for dinner. He arrived mid-way through our dinner. As we were waiting for the bill, I stood up to go to the washroom. When I got back to our table, our friend said "You don't really look pregnant yet. You can just be a fat person". HUWAAAAAT?!?!?

Grrr, I hate to admit it, but our friend is right. More specifically, I look like someone with a big gut! Waaahhh!!!! (If you know me, you'd know how much effort I exert just to keep my tummy flat!) I'm too small to wear maternity clothes, but already big for my normal clothes. Not that I don't fit in them anymore, but my stomach is already spilling out of them!

I suppose every pregnant woman goes through this awkward stage. Something I have to go through before I can enjoy all the glory of being pregnant. Sigh.

So, if you bump into me, don't wonder anymore. Yes, I am pregnant.
