It has started becoming warmer in
Chandigarh. Day temperature is around +20+21 now, morning might be somewhere
+15. I know that many of you still are in a frozen and snowy place, and my
sighs about “cold” weather here seem to be pretence, but it is not. When it is
evening and early morning, our house is freezing. We have to put socks, warm
pajamas and jackets before going out of our room. We still put the heater on
every now and then. Not a very comfortable living. But at the same time I don’t
want to complain because the hot summer is in future. I am also more and more
scared of it because that will be my last trimester, and I am really worried how
I am going to cope up with +40 and AC, and going to office and at the same time
taking care of myself, my baby and my D.
I have many other worries, which appear
anew with my every awakening in the morning: how am I going to bear pain of
labor, how will I take care of my baby, will baby be fine in summer with AC?
For the past few months I had such mixed feelings about my pregnancy from “am I
ready” to “a sudden excitement about
having that little one in my arms in just a few months”… I cannot say I was
very excited in the beginning, more I was depressed and used to cry on my
husband’s shoulder saying that I am scared.. But he is always there for me and
now I feel much much happier about having a child and dreaming of that special
day when we finally see him or her. Yes, I shall note that it is illegal to try
to determine the sex of a child in India due to some social problems. But for
us anyway it doesn’t matter as soon as the baby is healthy and happy.
Ok, now I
am not going to spend all time chatting about my ”interesting condition”
and will continue sharing that little trip we had last to last week in photos
and short comments to them. By the way recently I got to know that vacations a couple takes during pregnancy is called "babymoon" :) Well, so here are pics from our babymoon.
Another morning at Palolem beach - gorgeous view just as soon as you wake up. Calm sea in the morning and not hot yet. I even had to put on some thin stall.
Our friends, with whom we went, offered us to go to another beach in South Goa - Agonda. For that we rented two scooters and drove away for search of new adventures. The road was pleasant ,and you wouldn't feel those +33 C degrees while going by scooter. Yes we were that adventurous, especially me and my also expecting friend. Don't judge :)
We liked this "Amazon" river we passed by on the way to Agonda.
Agonda itself was quite a silent place, and you could see there mostly older people, sitting in the cafes and sipping tea, coffee and other drinks.We had pleasant swimming there though and... headed to another beach Kola, suggested by our new friends from Belorussia who also lived at Sai Valentine's beach huts.
I must admit we almost regretted going there, because the road, going left from the main way, was simply horrible! I was so afraid for our baby, and for us that we would puncture the tyre and will have to walk or worse will fall from the scooter on that rocky and dusty road. But circumstances were merciful. And Kola met us with this incredible view. We tried to swim there, but waves were too strong and high we had to withdraw from there.
The opposite was this water line - truly exotic!
We were quite tired after going from South Goa to North. It was hot, car was without AC, and by the time we reached the place we felt like we will not go ANYWHERE! But this new scene, view of Little Vagator beach, lifted up our mood and gave another boost of energy. Here is the hotel we stayed in - Oltramarino. An Italian one, more expensive than those lovely beach huts, but located in one of the most peaceful parts of North Goa, which otherwise is famous for its night life, psychedelic parties and of flocks holidaying Russians!
That small bamboo hut with red roof, last from the right, was ours.
Soon I am going
to share what I crocheted these days – not much, but I am slowly coming out of
crochet and blog blocks.
I am also worried for my crafty part of
life after the major event – will I have time for this, will I be able to spare
few minutes for blog and crochet in a day? Will I be one of those worn out
moms, with always puffy eyes and fatigue because of the lack of sleep or will
be a happy mom with rosy cheeks and lips and overall pretty... Let’s see. At
least now I try to look good, and be in a good mood and smile more. I am also
happy to get job I desired for long – to be a translator. Besides I am able to
earn some additional money which will be much needed soon.
Till my next appearance in
blogger, I wish you to stay safe and warm (or cool) wherever you are! Love and
blessings to all!
