Yes it’s been sometime since I posted on my blog…. well same old story, work , small D, big K and lots of housework.
And yes bub number two is on the way and baby’s 22wks 6days today.
These past few months a lot has happened, good ones, bad ones, we even went on holiday. But what struck me most was the rate I’m growing!!
I remember while we were on holiday I asked Kevin, ‘Do I look fat?’. His kind words were ‘no, you’re pregnant and thats supppose to happen.’ Now and again I’ll ask him the same silly question and he’ll sometimes answer, ‘are you sure you’re not pregnant coz we need to check that bump out.’
I was walking along the beach that day enjoying God’s creation and at the same time reflecting on how miserable I sometimes get feeling big. Tears filled my eyes when I started to think of someone I knew who’s partner left her while she was pregnant for another. I started putting myself in her place. How would you cope?!! All that self esteem…so so low. How do you get through the pains of labour and then having to bring the child up yourself? I said a little prayer ‘Please help this lady cope! Please make it easy for her!’ I do not know what else to say but I had to thank Him for his blessings, for His constant support and presence.
I continued walking along the warm sandy beach, this time I could feel the little one kicking within me, it always sends a tickle around my belly, a really good feeling. I then started to reflect on how lucky I was to have a family who loves and care for me. I couldn’t have asked for more, when I’m down there’s always someone there to comfort me. There’s always someone there to make me laugh, always someone there to distract me from the daily worries, always someone there to keep me occupied. I started to thank God for all the wonderful people and blessings He’s showered me with.
Now at this very moment, the little mister is busy practising his kicks and somersaults, his movements keeps me happy. It always gives me a warm feeling, a feeling of reassurance, a feeling of ‘its ok you’re really pregnant mummy and I’m happy inside’!!!
