Week 35 – Rabbit

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.

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 28 – Coconut Connecting with others Week 28! 3rd Trimester “There’s something that feels quite special about relying on a strong community to be a part of the baby’s life.”  Interacting The baby is moving and kicking more and more. It’s quite fun and interactive, including for his daddy. We had a busy week, with appointments and family visits. It turned out to work quite well. It provided a good distraction from the Diabetes and more focus on the baby and the people we care about. There was this moment where three generations of women put their hand on...

Week 27 – Lamp Pregnancy Challenges Week 27, it’s growing! “There are these flash moments when it’s real, acutely real and overwhelming.”  Emotional Challenges The baby is now the size of a camping lamp or something like 14,5 inches and 37 cms. He’s big! This week, with the new year and having the husband at home there was more interactions between daddy and son. There’s still some time for the next appointment when we get to know more about how he’s progressing and if all is on track for birth. Because he will be born. I know, this might sound...
