Put the glass down

Remember to put the glass down...

An interesting short video that shows us, it doesn't matter what the weight of a glass of water is, but the longer you hold it, the heavier it will get despite being the same glass of water.
This glass of water is just like the stress you get daily. The longer you carry the stress with you, the worse you feel as time goes by.
So, we need to put down our glass of water daily.

Ain't life is full of choices?
So, why not make a choice to put away the stress of the day, be it from your work or family. Let it not affect you for the whole day or onto the next innocent person.
It may not be easy, if you have been doing it for ages, carrying the weight with you. But it sure will get better if you start practising to let it go now.

LO in the pic

Thank God for Its blessing.
It is like a long awaited news answered, in Its own way.
Finally the LO joined our little family.

For the last few months, it seems like I was living week by week, as every week is a milestone to me, that I hope can complete safely without any complications.
Things started with week 6, and prior that everything was just normal. Maybe it is just physiological effect, when you don't know something, it would not bother you at all, but after you know it, you tend to link everything to it.

Week 6 to Week 11, keep feeling uncomfortable. Sometimes before meals, sometimes after meals or even during meal. Luckily still manage to stuff food in without issue.
Week 12 to Week 16, made some adjustment in food and drink. Increase fluid intake and also get in-between meal snacks. Suppose to be a good step and need to continue all the way through. Still feel uncomfortable now and then but mostly when there's nothing much to worry on.
Week 17 to Week 23, able to feel a small bump and some quickening. But now and then started not able to sleep well. Even had an emotional breakdown out of the blue.
Week 24, had a small accident but luckily everything is all right.
Week 25 to Week 30, on and off feel unwell with slight cough and flu. Even get swollen feet now and then. It is also a worrisome period, as keep wondering why LO movement sometimes active, sometimes is not.
Week 31 to Week 36, keep worrying on LO movement which is not consistent. Started to feel warmer as time goes by, seems like it's true as what most said. Backache seems to be visiting as the date is nearer.
Week 37 to Week 39, backache is the frequent nuisance at all time. And unexpected flu guest decided to come and visit at this time. Swollen feet are also more visible and not going off.
Counting down to Week 40 (D-day), finally start to rest at home, waiting for D-day. Had early signs, but not enough to warrant an admission - tried checking for two time. Finally allowed to admit on third checking, though after that was also another long wait and endurance test.
Nothing beats the warm feeling of LO on top of you.

Those were the days, when LO just came into the picture. And there will be more days to come, as the LO threw chaos around with her unpredictable schedule. Till then again.

Tomorrow will be better

It has been ages since I last posted. Well, a lot of things are happening, so, kinda busy with all the new stuff that props up now and then.

Time really flies if you try to look back at it, but always seems so slow when you are looking forward it. Now we are already in mid of the year and just another half year to go, and we need to say farewell to 2017.

Looking back for the past few months, thinking of how things have went through, it is really not so easy. Hhmm, but still since those time had passed, it don't seem so hard now. Problem is, when we are going through that time in particular, things just don't seems easy and we are easily swayed by our emotions. So, finally feel relieved that I've managed to pass through the hurdle, but of course, there are more and more hurdles to come, as time goes by. And guess that I've no choice but to be mentally and physically prepared as those hurdles might get tougher and tougher, though I hope not.

Life is always full of uncertainties. But if you hold steadfast, you are able to sail through the uncertainty, even though it might not smooth sailing. Don't give in to defeat, fight your way through. Tomorrow will be better.
