7 DAYS TO GO



At first you moved,
only a little.
I could always find you,
right in the middle.

As time went on,
you really started to grow.
It wasn't a whole lot,
in fact, it was rather slow.

Before I knew it,
you were all over the place.
It kind of felt like,
you were running a race.

People would ask me,
if, you were a boy or a girl.
I would sit and wonder,
if, you would have curls.

There are so many things,
I really want to know.
But, you are hidden inside,
so the answers don't show.

How much will you weigh?
How tall will you be?
What color is your hair?
Will you even like me?

I hope and pray,
you feel like you belong.
I never want you to feel,
like you are alone.

Your Dad and I,
planned you from the start.
You, my dear child,
were made straight from our hearts.

In about a week or so,
I'll meet you, for the first time.
For you are the product,
of your Dad's love and mine.

There will be no one like you,
not any place in the world.
It really doesn't matter,
if you are a boy or a girl.

We are both so happy,
that you even exist.
The gender doesn't matter.
you'll be hard to resist.

I hope I make you proud,
that I am your mother everyday.
Because, you have filled my dreams,
in more ways, than words can say.

It won't be long before,
I can look you in the eyes.
I can feel the excitement growing,
I know I'm going to cry.

Don't worry my angel,
those tears will be of joy.
It won't matter to me,
if you are a girl or a boy.

Counting The Weeks As Days


This is specially for Adele and all the rest who's been waiting for me to post a picture of my OH SOOO PREGNANT SELF... Today is our 2ND last Sunday as a couple. The excitement is building up in the family. There's no way baba won't know her dad's voice when she arrives cause his constantly talking to her. Gramp's looking forward to push baba around in the house in her baby bath as he done with us, Grams already brushing up on the baby songs she remembers. My brother (John) can't stop talking about what his going to do with his niece/nephew when he/she arrives and auntie Beulah can't wait to start playing doll...

We counting the month's as days now...

Baba Update

So we went to the doctor again yesterday. Baba now weighs 1.9kg and only has about 4 more weeks to go before eta... My doctor is on holiday (Gone to Hong Kong) so his made arrangements for me to see one of his associates at the hospital. Every time we go to my doctor we find it quiet fascinating to hear other mommies babies hearts beat (the machine is not that far from the waiting room, but we can't see anything. Anyway the doctor I saw yesterday put me on a baby heart monitoring machine and it took him quiet some time to find the babies’ heart beat - Can you imagine the look on our faces when we heard nothing. After about 5min we heard kicking every few seconds but baba was laying sooo funny that we could not hear find a heart beat. After a few minutes feeling around he finally found and everything is perfect. Now my only concern is the fact that I'm having endless toothaches which is causing earache - it was sooo bad last night that I was up all night. To crown it all I made a few calls this morning apparently no dentist is allowed to help me until after baba is born, 'cause I'm not allowed any medication or anaesthetic.
