My mood while writing this blog: Ok

i am in week 16.....i feel like the time has passed quickly since i found out at week 7 but at the same time i am also anxious about baby. i have already started a journal where i write stuff that i hope baby will read someday and know where he/ she came from....i live in Kenya, Africa, so i dont know the sex yet. i will probably find out the sex of baby when i am like in week 22 or so. but am rooting for a boy.i have always wanted one...

the first trimester was hell. i was just the laziest bum ever!! and the nausea was amazingly bad but after week 12 i seem to be back to normal. i am so energetic and i feel healthy...i try my best to eat good and i cut out alcohol and cigs so am good now...so proud of myself.....

My baby daddy- he is my boyfriend of 4years and of course this baby was not planned for but we are glad he/ she is coming. according to our traditions, we have a ceremony for when a woman has been made pregnant before marriage. so the baby daddy comes to my family, introduces himself and basically owns up to the baby...then he is asked his intentions. i.e does he want to marry me?if not he will not be forced but will be looked down upon. if yes, then we go ahead and start planning for the other functions that will lead to a wedding. it takes forever!!!!! like a year at the least but it has to be done because in a marriage we believe that the most important thing after love is blessings from both parents. and that only happens after a long string of ceremonies.....they are very exciting actually. The woman in question (me) is treated like a princess by the man's family while he is wooing her.....anyway, we plan at least to get 2 of those ceremonies in before the baby in August.I hope it works out.......

Either way..pretty excited by baby and cannot wait to hold him/her!!!!
