Hi MMers,

A big thank you for everyone’s blessings and well wishes on our incoming addition to the family. I felt very loved surrounded by friends who care not only in real life but also in the WordPress blogosphere.

Another significant appreciation comes from the fact that I am given choices to choose how I manage my pregnancy journey because I’m a freelancer. Besides working on projects that I have passion for, I control how much I want to work, what I want to work and when I want to work.

During my first trimester, due to the continuous toilet bowl hugging ritual, every time something went down my throat, I was ordered to be on bed rest. If I’m in a regular job, I will need to use all my medical leave allowances.

Sure, my salary will be covered during those days, and I will have medical insurance too…
