Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.I’m not cute or built to suit a fashion model’s sizeBut when I start to tell them,They think I’m telling lies.I say,It’s in the reach of my armsThe span of my hips,The stride of my step,The curl of my lips.I’m a womanPhenomenally.Phenomenal woman,That’s me.I walk into a roomJust as cool as you please,And to a man,The fellows stand orFall down on their knees.Then they swarm around me,A hive of honey bees.I say,It’s the fire in my eyes,And the flash of my teeth,The swing in my waist,And the joy in my feet.I’m a womanPhenomenally.Phenomenal woman,That’s me.Men themselves have wonderedWhat they see in me.They try so muchBut they can’t touchMy inner mystery.When I try to show themThey say they still can’t see.I say,It’s in the arch of my back,The sun of my smile,The ride of my breasts,The grace of my style.I’m a womanPhenomenally.Phenomenal woman,That’s me.Now you understandJust why my head’s not bowed.I don’t shout or jump aboutOr have to talk real loud.When you see me passingIt ought to make you proud.I say,It’s in the click of my heels,The bend of my hair,the palm of my hand,The need of my care,’Cause I’m a womanPhenomenally.Phenomenal woman,That’s me. ~Maya Angelou~
This is becoming really scarry. For a person who dislikes children a whole lot, it’s really wierd that I’m having this baby and more wierd that I’m looking forward to the birth of my first child.
I knew something was up when I was 2 weeks late. I can’t believe it when someone says that they didn’t know why their period didn’t come for 2 months… like duh… you fuck baby come!!
It’s really disgusting when everyone assumes that just because I am unmarried and pregnant it means that I would want to get married before the baby comes. But NO!!! Marriage has never been something that was on my mind. I never thought that it is something important. What the use of being in a marriage when it will only break down later. I’m a great relationship now yes we have our ups and down, I can’t help it, I’m freaking pregnant.
My child will have love from both parents (and grandparents) irregardless of whether we get married or not. we’ve been together for 3 yrs almost and we’re just happy the way with are. Further this way, it’s easier to walk out of the relationship without the mad crazy legal fees. Please I work in a freaking law firm, I know how much divorce fees cost these days… and it’s less stressful on the child. The baby bonus and maternity leave and all that shit are not important to me it’s really sad to see that there are so many people out there who are having children because of this same reason.
The 1st trimester has been a crazy one… I can’t eat junk food. I can’t eat fried food I CANNOT EAT ANYTHING!!! The only things that I can eat are Fruits, vegetables, fish and anything soupy. This baby better come out a health freak la… But thank GOD I’ve not asked for the dreaded DURIAN!!!
I don’t get morning sickness I just can’t eat junk food. It’s really sick. I’m hungry most of the time cos the only things that enter my mouth are health food and they are usually tasteless and too little.
Clothes do not fit me as well as they should. I’m getting bigger and bigger and bigger by the day. Currently only 11 weeks but I look like I’m freaking 4 months pregnant.
I really can’t wait to go get baby stuff. baby clothes, pram, cot anything and everything. I can’t wait to hold my baby in my arms and just enjoy his presence. I hope and pray that i can be a better mother than a certaain someone i know…
Till than.
