I have conceived......

When I came to know about my pregnancy, it was news to me..... so was every feeling new... Unplanned it may be called but I am aware and realized the significance of gravidity only recently.

In midst of thesis submission n grappling with a small family of mine after marriage, this news was soon and sudden... But everytime I thought of the 'unplanned'  word, just pondered isn't it a real blessing... Not only because there are people who really want to conceive but find it tough, not even because I as a PhD student could still take care and manage my life now...... but because the feeling of "creation" is a part n parcel of this fixed duration process... Don't want to miss on this short experience worrying about things..

Child birth and parent care implies loads of responsibilities... more than marriage itself. This thought made us intently avoid pregnancy as a couple. Moresoever, because we live in different countries and were looking forward to staying together for a few years before a young one could come in..

However tough this would mean we accept it with sweet smiles coz it keeps us closer even though far away.

The butterfly flutter like feelings in my tummy has started few days ago.... I can feel a being growing and moving inside me. I realized there are a sea of changes me is undergoing as a physical and spiritual being. Want to write them down here to relive them sometimes in future :-)

Thank you God for this lovely feeling!
Take me through this and keep me stronger and cheerful!
