Being a first time expectant mom can be very exciting and overwhelming at the same time. As what most moms have experienced, the first trimester is the hardest and most crucial. Our body undergoes changes and in my case it’s tough. But I know this will pass and I’m looking forward to really enjoy this stage of motherhood. Along with the difficult symptoms to deal with, first time parents like us think ahead of stuff that the baby might need like clothes, diapers, crib, blankets and designing of the nursery room. However, I think it will be too early for us to buy these things but yeah it did cross our minds among other things. I even thought about sending out photo birth announcements to our family and friends both here and in the PI. I know it’s not really necessary since there’s already Facebook and other networking sites that I share with my friends which I think is a good place to share photos of the future baby. But the idea of sending out birth announcements seem appealing so we’ll see.
