Becoming Mombie (gasp!)

You're probably wondering what a mombie is.

Well, it can be a "newbie mom" or a juxtaposition of mom and zombie. 

If live in the world of The Walking Dead, I'm still in the transition phase—I'm not a mombie yet, but my body is starting to develop into one.

Bloated stomach.
Heightened sense of smell.
Acute pain on the lower back.
Clunky functioning of the brain.
The tendency to devour huge portions of just about anything (including junk food).

In real life, I'm pregnant. 27 weeks and a couple of days to be exact. *snort*

Yeah, so I'm not yet a mombie, but I am absolute that I'd be one soon. So before the official odyssey begins, I am writing my Prologue. By creating this blog.

Pregnancy, they say, is the easiest part of motherhood. 

Regardless of how smooth or rough your pregnancy is. What awaits after that is far, far worse. At least that's what the snarky mommy blogs and Facebook statuses tell me.

Luckily, it's a bit of a smooth ride for me. No morning sickness, no major food aversions, no vomiting. Baby is just so kind to me. I love him to bits!

See, I'm a copywriter who works at my own discretion, in my safe haven, and in my underwear (no kidding), so I can sleep for like 7 to 9 hours a day. Major sleepyhead here.

But when this baby comes out, I bet I need to wake up every 2 hours to feed him. Maybe that's the part where it becomes "worse" for me.

But, I am so ready for that!


Freelancing Mombie is another blog that this slacker writer has created for the purpose of documenting motherhood... and her late parts of pregnancy.

I honestly haven't journal-ed my entire journey and I felt guilty about that. I used to be a life documenter with multiple blogs, but now it's all client work.

Luckily, I read this SmartParenting post ton the way home from the mall today. Karla (the author) was funny and honest about the brutal things about the post-birth period.

It inspired me to document my own journey so that I could share it with my DS (dear son) when he's old enough to appreciate it. I'd probably keep the meaning about his second name, though.


I segue like a pro, don't I?

Up until to this point, I haven't told you what a mombie is.

So here it goes.
