Goodbye Social Life

Since finding out about Baby, our social life has been reduced drastically. We haven't been going out together much. At the very most, it's a trip to church and the occasional visits to my in-laws. No window-shopping. No mamaks. No visiting friends. No spontaneous trips to Petaling Street. And no movies.


Can't be helped, really. Mae is suffering from everything a woman should in her first trimester. She tires easily. She needs sleep so badly she practically hibernates! And then there's the nausea. And with that we have the wonderful world of morning sickness! Morning sickness is a misnomer, really, since most pregnant women feel sick all day long. In Mae's case, she's pretty fortunate that there IS a time in the day when she actually feels normal. Ironically, its in the mornings. Go figure!


At this stage I miss going to the movies so much I actually feel pity for myself. The thing is, by the time Baby arrives, we're never gonna get an opportunity to go watch a movie at the cinemas. That is, unless we become one of those annoying couples who insist on bringing their crying infants into the auditorium. I hope I never, ever lose my mind and decide to bring Baby into the cinema since I have always felt that parents who do that ought to be neutered!


Anyway, Mae's second trimester starts in a couple of weeks. It's supposed to be a whole lot easier on her. On her part, she's taken pity on her poor, pathetic husband and has agreed to go watch a movie when the symptoms stop. Yay!!! I guess if we don't go soon, we'll never get to go till Baby is ten or so! On the other hand, I'm banking on Baby to entertain us so much that we don't need the movies. Otherwise, we'll have to drug her whenever we wanna go out!! Hahahaha!!!! :P
