A Poem I Especially Wrote For You, Son.

I Carried You, You Carry Me.

I carried you in me for quite some time
I told you stories and sang you many songs
I trusted you with secrets no one will ever know
I didn't need to see you to know how I love you so.

I carried your heart with me for quite some time
I realised you somehow knew you carried mine, too
I felt you grow stronger with each passing day I carried you
And I just know that you felt me grow stronger inside, too.

Today fate has decided it's time for us to meet
It's time for you to make our little family complete
You told me how grateful you are for all the months I carried you
With a shrill cry and a healthy heartbeat, you told me you love me too.

I cannot begin to tell you how much you've already taught me
You made me realise how much of a better person I can be
Throughout your life people will tell you to love me
Because I'm the person who was blessed to give you life
But my child, don't listen to a word they say and instead take it from me
Love me because your heart feels it and your mind agrees
and because you, my little fighter, is the one who gave life to me.

Due Week!!!!

Trustfund

James and I had a brief chat yesterday about setting up a trustfund for our son as soon as he is born. The fact that he brought it up makes me feel really secure -- for my Scott. I know that if something happens to me he will not be alone and he will not be without love. xXx

Mummy putting her feet up because you seem to weigh a ton! We're so excited to meet you!!!

Pasalubong ni Daddy

James had been bringing home cuddly toys for our little one over the past few months -- even before our little one is even out! Imagine what he would be like when he's actually here.
I was told he's still got the owl and piglet to complete the Winnie the Pooh collection :)

Your winter pram suit from Grandma Allen

My 27th and your 37th :)

Mummy turned 27 years old and you turned exactly 37 weeks! I am so pleased you are now considered a full-term baby and I was told at the hospital that if I go into labour anytime after this point, they won't try and stop it anymore like they would if it happened before the 37th week mark.

On our last visit to the midwife I learned that my bump measured 2cm larger than it should so I'm starting to get nervous about child birth again which I thought I've overcome through the past few months. Ah well as long as you're healthy I can't really complain. I just really want a natural birth because it is best for both you and I and daddy.

PS: It was grandma and grandpa who came with me at my last checkup because your dad had to go to work.

35 weeks and he's getting really heavy now

Large and in-charge

Negative!

My son and I are cleared of gestational diabetes! I'm so pleased to know that I won't have to do insulin shots. Phew! Thank God.

A nice stranger bought me a PRO FlickR account subscription for a year. I'm really thankful that I can upload and share HD vids and photos of my son when he comes out in about 8 weeks' time. Happy days! xXx

GTT

I had my Glucose Tolerance Test (GTT) this morning and I shall find out the result on Wednesday at the earliest. I had to stay at the hospital for nearly 3 hours so I really appreciate it that James took an extra day off work to come and keep me company. Fingers crossed I am negative for gestational diabetes. xXx
