Expecting and Working

Hello readers:)

First of all, we made it to the papers today, in more ways than one! As most know, I'm studying Media Studies, specialising in Public Relations. Instead of being home, on holiday, putting my feet up to relax...I'm doing the 8-5 thing, interning at the National Broadcasting Corporation (NBC).

So I have my heels on, my big girl handbag and I'm trying to build my name up in the corporate world. I'm not only doing this for myself, but now for the well being of my little goga!

We are 15 weeks pregnant today, by the way. Next week we officially 4 months pregnant!!!

Working while pregnant...I think this would have been harder in my 1st semester, the way I slept was no joke!  Now I'm in my second semester and I feel like I'm busrting with energy!!! I think the only thing I have to be aware of is my love for heels, I've read that during pregancy woman often lose their centre of balance. Here's what I'll do, as soon as I start to wobble when I walk...off with the heels:) #BabyComesFirst

All working and expecting mommies out there, beware when hunger strikes!!! Never thought I could eat so much...like a man does:/ Guess I've officially started eating for two! I think for me, the biggest trick is to eat a healthy hearty breakfast in the morning. Even though by 10am I'm hungry again. This is where snacks come in...here are a few that I pack to keep me going till lunch:

Carrot Sticks - healthy and filling
Fruits, mainly apples and oranges
Biscuits (Romany Creams)
NB!!! Always have water, it's so important to keep hydrated:)

One problem I've encountered is forgetting to take my vitamins! Bad I know...but here's a tip, place a reminder on your computer screen, or set an alarm on your phone. Mutli-vitamins help keep you and baby healthy and provide you with all the essentials you may not be getting from your daily diet.

Before I started working, Yellow wanted to hear nothing of it! He's a first time dad and all he does is worry about me and baba. Ladies, you have to let your man know that many woman before you have worked while pregnant, some even to the very last till day or up to the date of delivery. Ensure him that you will keep eating healthy and that both you and baby will be fine. Bless their hearts, make sure that they understand you can work and still have a healthy baby in the oven!

No holiday for me...I'll rest when baba arrives! For now, I'll stick to learning about the corporate world, one baby step at a time.

Till next time
