I'll miss him

being inside of me.


Before he started kicking me from the inside, I always thought some mummies are exaggerating when they say they will miss their baby being in their womb. Like, I want to eat my bak kut teh and my salad, so if he is out, I can do all that.

But now that he is kicking and wriggling inside of me, despite the occasional painful jabs, I think I will miss him being inside of me. Right now it feels like it's us against the world. Whatever I go through, I know he is with me at all times. When I'm alone, when I'm upset, when I do not have anyone to talk to, I can talk to him. He is inside of me and he is with me.

As my belly gets bigger, the discomfort gets more intensed. Sometimes during bed time he would move so much that I could not fall asleep (though once I'm out, I'm out *thank God*). I wish I can see him and watch him grow with all his possibly funny antics but at the same time, I enjoy him being inside of me.

I guess I have another 4-5 weeks to enjoy that before he officially enters the world. Time passes so fast but so slow at the same time. It felt like yesterday when we found out he was growing inside of me. Then I started feeling him move and then his dad gets to feel it too.

Working from home now due to the ongoing renovation in the office. Apparently the paint is extremely strong at work so I'll probably not step in to the office until after my ML. I'll still be working till my ML but will not enter the office (I'm not risking it). Will see what my boss says. =)

Thank you Lord for this gift of life that we will nourish and nurture for many years to come.
