I am now 27 weeks pregnant and am expecting a girl in Dec. There were ups and downs during the first and second trimester of the pregnancy but thank God, things have been great for the past two months.
I have quitted my job and tried to rest more at home so that baby can grow stronger. Let me tell you, life without work is not as good as you think. You always wonder what to do for the day and it seems you're doing nothing and just wasting you time. But I tried to remind myself that I am doing one great thing for my baby now and learned to forget about what I want for myself. I guess that's a good lesson for a mom-to-be.
The preparation work is 70% ready but I think you can never be ready with taking care of a new baby.
