Now that I am over my first trimester, I am happy to announce that I am pregnant. I am going to be a mom. Let me just say that again, I am going to be a mom!!
My first trimester was pretty tough. It was like I had a terrible hangover every single day. The morning sickness would only progress throughout the day, peaking towards the evening when I would need to puke at least three times. On my worst days, I couldn’t even down the water that I drank. I was actually puking out cold water.
Thankfully, the all-day sickness is starting to subside. I am now moving on into the more exciting part of pregnancy…the decorating/planning for the baby’s room, window shopping for baby gadgets and picking out baby names.
For this month (I change my mind almost every month), we are set on Naima Isabel if it’s a girl. Naima is Arabic in origin and means delight, contentedness. Isabel, on the other hand, means God’s promise.
If it’s a boy, his name will most likely be Juan Enrique. and we’d call him Uno. Never mind that our last name sounds very Chinese. We will go with a Spanish sounding name. Both our lolos’ names are Juan, and Enrique comes from Enriquez. If you’ve known me long enough, you will understand why this is symbolic, funny and just perfect all at the same time.
