a dream

Posted on June 14, 2006

I woke up today with a feeling of excitement. I dreamt about our baby. In my dream, our baby is a boy and he has Ramil’s nose. I remember the feeling of holding his soft and vulnerable body in my arms. It was such an exhilarating feeling! Pagkagising ko sabi ko agad kay Ramil, nagparamdam ang baby namin. Hehe! The timing was so perfect because just a few nights ago, I had feelings of apprehension (which I now credit to pregnancy blues) of whether we really are ready for this baby or not. I was asking myself if it’s too early to be pregnant. It seems that the baby is telling me that whether I like it or not, I will be ready for him (or her).

On another note, school started yesterday and it has never been more tiring for me. It’s no joke being pregnant while teaching! One good thing though, is that it keeps my mind off morning sickness which has hit me the past few days. I’ve always been susceptible to hyperacidity and it has been bothering me non-stop. Because of the distraction, my morning sickness now strikes in the evening. I also found myself asking my students to let me sit once in a while whereas last schoolyear I usually conduct my classes while standing up or walking around the whole time. My tummy has been growing bigger albeit slightly. I can feel my uterus now whenever I touch my tummy. As my waistline expands, I feel more and more pregnant.
