A lot of new things happen!

In some corner of my mind, I thought my pregnancy would result in a break from the regularity of life. That myth was shattered!

And, of course, all those adventures that have come my way and my feet just walked into them – I knew I could breathe easy now. I’m a mother-to-be, after all! Well, a month into my pregnancy and I knew I was destined to do new things – no matter what.

I found myself doing a LOT of new things.

We were expecting Baby Reuel for six weeks, when my husband and I had to go through the traditional wedding ceremony organized by my in-laws.

I have had to drive to all kinds of tricky corners, narrow streets and places I never hazarded visiting when I was single.

I have cooked dozens of new dishes especially biriyani, a dish I thought only experts cooked.

I’ve changed my look – new attire (thanks to our growing baby), new hairstyle (thanks to the new attire) and more – in preparation of our baby’s arrival.

I had to compere in Hindi (!) at a program of Indian classical music, a language I have used only with my parents on the phone and a few friends for the last ten years or so.

You know what I think? Life goes on, although with a few new twists and turns. Also I think it’s God’s way of preparing us for all the new things that are to come our way as we eagerly await the newest arrival in our family.
