25 March 2012 - Sick and Surprise

               I think I am going to remember this day for a little longer time, or may be even for the rest of my life! There was a pleasant surprise (hope it is a real one) as well as a bad time. 

               Let me start with the bad one. I had a normal day and for dinner I had prepared ridge gourd chutney along with sambar. Somehow the chutney had become very spicy and I had eaten some because I didn't want it to go wasted. After dinner my stomach started burning a little and I drank a lot of water to cool it down and even milk. Then I thought I will sleep it off and once I fall asleep, I won't feel the pain. But unfortunately I slept only for an hour. I woke up all of a sudden at 1 a.m with terrible heart burn and I had to immediately rush to the bathroom and puke. Even after that, my stomach was burning a lot and neither water nor milk helped me. I couldn't stand, couldn't sit nor could I sleep. I looked at my husband, he was happily snoring! I tickled him to stop it, but it stopped only for a few seconds and continued in a different style! There was no point in waking him up, because even he can't do anything to stop my pain, so I let him continue snoring. But all of a sudden he woke up to my surprise and started asking what happened to me. 6th sense I say when it comes to his child inside feeling uncomfortable!

               Now let me come to the surprise which I am hoping to be the real one. Just as I was lying down, I felt as though something moved in my tummy. It felt like few bubbles suddenly hitting my stomach from inside, it wasn't painful but that was surely something I had never felt before. The next day when I browsed, not even one site told me that there are chances of me feeling the baby so soon if it is the first pregnancy! In the later pregnancies, mothers might feel the baby very soon because they know exactly how it feels. I was disappointed with that information, but I am still hoping that it was my baby inside. I am going to wait for some more time until I feel the movements and going to compare the feelings. If it is the same like last night, I am going to conclude that I felt my baby on 25 March 2012! :)
