Being hormonal

They say you can get away with most of things when you are pregnant... I say i couldn't agree more, because at the rate this baby is growing, i'm off the hook for so many things!

One thing i truly enjoy (apart from all the don'ts - heavy lifting, eat pineapple, excessive exercising) is how accommodative my family are, to my teringin. Alhamdulillah this baby of mine is pretty much simple like her mom.. as of now, I have not crave for Wagyu or Kobe or Filet Mignon yet. Most of the time, i would have rice and rice only for meals. Of course, to go along with it there would be requests for ayam kicap (my ultimate fav), sambal sotong/udang and other simple Malay dishes. Told ya i'm that simple to please.

Of course, there are still items yet to be checked such as chilli crab, sotong goreng tepung  and Mi Udang Kuala Sepetang (i know they've a branch in Wangsa Maju!) but then again, i'm thankful i'm not that insistent. Like still negotiable for other dishes.. And yes, my cravings so far doesn't require hubs to wake up in the middle of the night finding food for me. Thank goodness.

But in comparison with all these little joys of life, there comes a major con. Well, i deem it major only on days when i'm already late for work and traffic isn't sympathizing.

It's the hormones. Specifically, my emotional level, soaring high like an eagle and dips low like some deep sea fishes in an instant. I don't know if it's only me, (but i think at times i do not wish to know?) or every other pregnant ladies embrace this hormones with barbed wires.

It ranges from crying to a Coldplay song (for you i bleed myself dry), to no-nonsense attitude, to taking people's response / words the wrong way. Sometimes i'm proud to be hormonal (refer to songs), sometimes i'm mad at myself for allowing what others think to affect me that much. 

I won't go into specifics, (but of course) but all i will say is that i'm very very thankful Allah has blessed me with an awesome husband :) He is one of the few very patient men i've ever known in my life, and this trait has ease my "troubles" greatly. He may not fetch me a huge dish of chilli crab every time i'm done sobbing, but he has his ways that always makes me go "Alhamdulillah for this man".

With only 3 months to go InsyaAllah, i can only imagine what sort of emotional rollercoaster rides has my name written on it. I sure hope and doa he has booked the seats next to mine.
