April 2018 it was. I discovered that I was pregnant. I wasn’t ready for it. But, are we ever going to be ready for it? I guess no. I positively took the news and kept on going with it.
My first ultrasound session: It was amazing, not because I was going to be a mother but because of the fact that I was carrying a human being inside me. I am not exaggerating but I felt so powerful that I had never felt the same in my entire life.
I have always believed in comfort wearing. My go-to-dress code was a simple white dress or blue denim with an oversized t-shirt. I followed the same trend during my pregnancy too. I had the best hair and skin days of my life. My hair felt super fresh and my skin glowed all the time. I guess it was the baby effect. And the liberty of eating anything anytime with no questions asked was a cherry on the cake.
I had loads of plans for my babymoon but for some reasons had to drop the plan of travelling abroad. I rather landed upon a road trip to Mcleodkanj and Kasauli. It was indeed a very comfortable and memorable trip. I had my maternity shoot at home when I was 8 months pregnant. I wanted to have that moment with my baby alone. So, I planned to get the same done by my sister-in-law, who had visited us from San Francisco. I wanted to keep it simple and subtle.
I had a hard time finding good maternity clothing in India. I couldn’t find the best designs and comfort from any brand. My baby was due on 16th November 2018 and Diwali was just a few days before that. I love this festival, I love decorating my house and doing everything on my own. Despite that huge baby bump, my energy levels were not down at all. I did everything on my own. Not to mention my husband (Karan) did help me a lot. I bought an Indian outfit from Jaypore.
As I mentioned earlier, I had a hard time finding perfect attire during my pregnancy. For my baby shower also, I faced the same problem. I searched everywhere but everything went into vain. I think I was having mood swings at that time. One of my friends helped me with a customised gown.
This pink theme just happened, maybe it was a sign.
