20 weeks and counting...

Hooray! We're halfway there! Yep, this is one of the major milestones in the duration of pregnancy...and I am so glad we made it smoothly till here. There were some hurdles and different routes we had to take in the middle, to make the ride smooth...but I don't have any regrets for that. That just gave me a different experience and makes me relish this moment all the more. I just can't believe though that how the time is flying and it won't be far when baby will be in our arms...

We are hoping the remaining journey is as bright, colorful, splendid as it has been till now. Experience? Well it has been tremendously beautiful and special...atleast for me! I love this feeling, and the amount of attention I am getting these days. Yeah, you heard it right..'attention'. Ever since my belly has started showing...I guess it's been around 2-3 weeks now that it has become apparent for people to recognize that we're expecting.. everyone around me tries to be very careful and cautious. It's funny to see so much care around yourself. Even strangers around you would act as they are in someway attached with the baby and would care for you.

By strangers, I would mean- at work, while I ride the bus, I come across so many unknown faces and people. Couple days back I came across this gentleman on the bus who was so concerned, that as soon as I stepped out of the bus he approached me and asked me if I knew that the guy I was sitting next to me in the bus was unhygienic and I shouldn't have sat next to him since I am expecting. Makes me wonder if the same would have happened if I was in India? May be more?

So I am now being seen as most vulnerable person on earth, however on the flip side I am enjoying being pampered and getting cared for by everyone. I am telling myself...baby.. enjoy while you can. This all attention will go to our baby once he/she arrives. But trust me I am going feel good about that too!
