Isha, you’re growing inside me day by day, and my thoughts are filled with excitement and wonder. I ponder how to bring you up, nurture you, and shower you with love. My heart overflows with affection for you.

Each mom in this world feels different, and their journey towards the little bundle of joy will be unique, and is for me too. Unlike many, I didn’t experience morning sickness; instead, I had evening sickness. Despite feeling bloated, I continued working at the bank, doing my desk work regularly.

The bloating was unbearable at times, feeling like you were inflating a balloon inside my tummy. By evening, when your dad picked me up from word, I’d sit in the car, praying i wouldn’t vomit. Unfortunately, by the time we reached home, I’d start vomiting and was feeling like I’ll get a seizure.

This became my routine for eight months, and surprisingly, I grew accustomed to it.

Each pregnancy is distinct, and mine has been a rollercoaster of emotions-mood swings, highs and lows. But every moment has been worth it, knowing you’re growing and thriving inside me.
