When ‘good morning’ turns into bad morning

All of us want to wake up to a cheerful face wishing us ‘good morning’ and if possible it has to be with a power packed puch – like the patent ‘goooooooooood mooooooooooorning’ from Munna Bhai MBBS. Unfortunately my mornings suck now…. Usually at home I’m the first one to step out of bed urging others to `rise & shine`. My mornings aren’t the same now….ever since I have the kiddoooo kicking inside me I usually rise with a heavy head, sullen face and that sickly feeling that I will throw up right now. This legendary morning sickness just won’t end here.. It will take a toll on the rest of your day as well. While everybody around you is greeting you to have a nice day, I secretly wish if this morning sickness fades a bit and I actually get to have a nice day after all. My favourite egg and bread, paratha look like crap… can’t stand the sight or smell of them. Have to live of biscuits as my doc feels that I will throw up lesser if I have stuff like biscuits, rusks etc. First trimester I hate you….. when will this madness end? The worst thing about this whole schedule is that you shouldn’t expect anyone to empathize with your situation. If you discuss a bit about it, suddenly everyone around you will try to goad you like a grandma. General reactions will include statements like “Its ok. “It will end” and some stern ones from mom are “You are not the only one facing this, grow up and don’t throw tantrums”. "Tantrums".... really, i wish that was true :(
