Down Rossy, down! "You can do this" I heard myself talking. It has been six months now and I kept growing like I was inflated.
Finally, I succeeded in fetching the cloth I accidentally dropped on the floor. Being pregnant is surely not as easy as I thought.
It could have been much more easier with Anthony around, too bad he is off to work, how will I cope for the next sixteen hours? Oh God!! Does he even have to go to work? "Of course Rossy"!
Jeez! What's wrong with me?
I think I should go get some sleep, it's better than sitting down all alone in this gigantic living room having no company except for all the lifeless photographs and furnitures starring at me. "I guess am a little bit grumpy today" I said as I made to stand feeling heavier than usual.
"Oucch"!!! Not again..
That must have been another kick from the baby, seems she can't wait to see the outside world I guess.
I made my way to the staircase and started climbing gently like an infant learning how to take it's first steps. I had to anyway recalling the awful memory of yesterday.
I had gone to the refrigerator to get myself a bottle of cold water but got stopped by Anthony,
"Do you want our baby to turn out asthmatic or end up something worst than that"?
Or didn't you heard what the gynecologist said? Ok, let me remind you cause I can see that you have forgotten. You were told to avoid anything cold for crying out loud Rossy!!
I knew he was going to say that, gosh!!
Anthony is driving me bonkers each passing minute, it's as though he is waiting for me to do something wrong so as to remind me of what the gynecologist said.
Anthony please!!!.... Just a glass won't do us any harm I replied sheepishly holding my belly but he didn't bulge instead, he asked me to stay right there and handed me a glass of warm milk making me to storm away in anger..
"What's wrong with him? Does he have to act bossy all the time"? Now I can't have cold water, only God knows what next am not allowed to have..
I had only succeeded in climbing three staircases when I missed a foot and boom!!!, I came crashing on the tiled floor. like lightening, Anthony was beside me in a second. Thank goodness I haven't gone beyond that, who knows what would have happened to me or my unborn child?
I fell on the soft bed with a thud and doozed off shortly.
