It feels good to feel you.

Sweetie, that's my ribs... Kick elsewhere please!

I'm nearly 25 weeks now and for the past 3 weeks I have been feeling my son move a lot which I love because it is a good sign that he is doing well in there. Soon I will be playing "guess what body part" with him!

I didn't know that babies in the womb get the hiccups and although it is a little bit freaky at the start, it is also endearing to feel it through my tummy. On the 24th week-mark, I have also felt him rolling over which creates waves in my stomach but he doesn't do it often enough for his dad to catch a glimpse of it. His kicks are strong and I can just imagine how much his power kicks will hurt in another 6 weeks time when he doesn't have much room in my womb anymore.

I feel wonderfully relieved that I have successfully reached the 6th month mark when my baby is now considered "viable". And although I have faith in the medical care and technology here, I hope he stays in there for as long as possible within the 40 weeks gestation period because he still has a lot of growing to do. He still needs to form layers of fat because he is going to need it! It's cute that my baby will be born in my favourite season of the year - Autumn.

I like to sing to my baby when I'm relaxing. I sit up or lay down propped up by several cushions and I put both hands on my tummy and sing to him. I gathered that it's not easy to sing when you're pregnant and constantly out of breath, but hey-ho, it's the only way I could really bond with my son at this point in time. :) Here's a song I've been singing to him for the past 5 months!





I was sorting out all the baby clothes we have been given so far and realised that we have enough newborn onesies for triplets, three times over! We have also started to buy nursery furnitures and accessories and hopefully start painting the room this weekend so when the rest of the furnitures gets delivered by the end of next week, I can start with the decoration. I don't really have an eye for interior decoration but I think I'll just follow my heart with this one. I also don't want to overspend because I would much rather have the money saved up for my son's future than on something he will only use for the first few months of his life. Thank God for a truly exciting and happy experience that He had blessed me with to share with my partner in life. I didn't think I wanted it but God always knew I did.
