Week 38 – Ukulele Countdown to the big day Week 38! Wow “Now, it’s countdown time. I am very agitated, wondering what each sign could mean, what to do and not do.”  We had our last scheduled appointment with the doctor and it all went very well.   Both the baby and I are ready and set for birth. It could happen today or in two weeks, there’s no way of knowing for sure.   My body is now super tired, different types of pain coming at different times. All these changes are, I imagine, setting us up for...

Week 37 – Small Pizza Getting to the finish line Bigger Belly, Bigger Excitement “I hope I’ll remain calm and kind enough to be there for him. It’s the best I can do for him.”  At this point the baby could be born and most likely be strong and healthy.   We are coming to the finish line and it’s becoming more and more real. The belly is getting bigger, more compact. The back is getting more sensitive so there’s more pain and discomfort.

Week 34 – Basketball Hoop Topping it off Week 34! Tasty realisations “It has never been more clear to me how my body is, how my mind is and what we need.” Fine I started by going to the clinic.

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...
