My life as an expecting mom

When I was still not expecting a baby my life was normal. I was active and always want to do stuff on my own . I want to get busy and just act normal. But now that Im expecting a baby, life for me is not the same as before. Im always tired and get easily pissed off or agitated. I have always like perfumes and colognes before, but now I really dont like the smell. I have always ask my husband to minimize putting on some roll-ons because it gives me a terrible migraine.

Being pregnant is not that easy. You have to sacrifice your habits before for the sake of the baby. My pregnancy is pretty normal. I have no crave for food, but I cannot control my eating habits now. I have gained 5 extra lbs for always eating. And my doctor said that I will minimize food that contains carbohydrates like rice, bread, crackers and more. But to tell you the truth I really love to eat nowadays.

I dont know how to control my eating, all I know is what I eat is good for my baby. I always eat healthy food like vegetables and fruits and juice for vitamin C. I drink milk every morning and right after I go to sleep. I take my vitamins every morning and lunch religiously.

Im not thinking about myself here cause I really want my baby to be healthy. I can always have my diet or go to the gym right after giving birth. My husband always say that I look prettier everyday. I know why he is saying that because he dont want me to get depressed or stressed out of the way I look.

What I noticed this days or this months is I just want to get to sleep, rest, watch TV, and play games on my husbands PC. This is not a normal life for me now but what Im doing now is for my baby. I want him to grow up healthy and groomed.

I dont want to be like other moms who neglected their baby and just think of themselves go shopping without knowing that the have a baby at home. As much as possible I want to raise my baby on my own. I dont want any babysitter in my house. I dont want anyone touching my baby except my own family.

My husband said that I can always be a stay home mom and just take good care of our children but what Im worried about are all the expenses in the house. My husband is a very good provider. And I can see him as a father, that is why GOD gave us this blessing cause HE knows that we will take good care of this baby like how we took good care of our love for each other.
I really cant believe that Im gonna be a mom.

Can I really take good care of this baby? I really dont like kids to tell you the truth. Kids for me are irritating, dirty and noisy. That is why Im really trying my best to be a good mom. Im the only child of the family, I didnt experienced life with siblings. My everyday life before was just me, myself and I. Funny but its true. I never experienced carrying a baby or taking good care of a baby.
