Week 36 – Pillow

Week 36 – Pillow The baby is the size of a throw pillow The belly is the size of a big pillow Arrivals and Departures “I miss falling asleep in his arms and feeling like there’s no better place in the whole world. And then waking up with a sense of gratitude when I see him and my giant belly.”  Very soon the baby will be here. It’s impossible to say if in a few days or a few weeks but it’s happening very soon. I’ve heard that when you get to these final weeks of pregnancy, you can’t...

Week 35 – Rabbit

,

Hopping around places, thoughts, dreams. “It’s shocking to realise he does not count yet as a member of this world. It’s crazy, once you think about all that he is doing already and the impact he has in our lives.” It has been 35 weeks already. Time is going by quickly and in a few weeks, the baby will be here. This is becoming more and more real – he moves a lot, my belly is growing and the contractions make his presence undeniable.   I am hopping around our place and wondering if there’s something missing.

Finally, another doctor looked at my results and told me my blood sugar and diet was fine. And, after all that,...

Week 32 – Bento Box Excitement and Worries Week 32! Bento Box “It would be nice to put this topic in its own corner, separated from the others, and just enjoy the good state of things. ”  We just came back from the doctor and both mother and baby are doing very well. We had the screenings, saw the gorgeous baby and everyone is happy with how things are going. The baby is getting a bit big which, combined with Diabetes, might mean he’ll be born before the 40 weeks. I am slightly worried about that. Although it’s normal and common, I still hope the...

Week 31 – Movie Popcorn Grab your popcorn What a movie! “I’m glad I got the advice to eat well – now I know I should…? A Comedy, I guess.”  It’s getting tighter and cosier for the baby inside my belly. I can feel him moving more and more and some of his kicking punch against bones and bones. If this was a movie, what kind of movie would it be for him? Maybe Science Fiction. For me, it’s been quite a mix of all movie genres. I am starting to get more and more unsolicited advice. From “make sure...
