Ready to have a baby. Tick
Well, my
little girl did not listen to her mum and she is still firmly ensconced in her
warm secret world. I guess I should have known really, after all she is very
like me... and there is absolutely no telling me what to do or when to do it!
This week’s
blog is a little later than normal as I have (according to the midwives) gone
in to the very early stages of labour. Hold on – don’t get too excited! This
actually occurred on Sunday afternoon, and here I am on Tuesday with nothing
much more happening and apparently this could go on for a good few days. Ho
hum.
Pregnancy has
been all about adapting to the daily demands of our bumps and each of us
mums-to-be dealing with our individual challenges. We grow (literally and
metaphorically) and develop a whole new world that is less about meals out,
shopping for handbags and going out for drinks, and more about buggies,
expandable waistbands, food cravings and blood tests. How things change so
dramatically in such a short time.
The last 8
months have been challenging in so many ways. I have been changing - my body
has sprouted outwards (lost sight of my feet a while ago now), I have not had
an alcoholic drink since I found out and I have worried about my business
whilst continuing the drive to grow it. The baby business challenge has been exactly
that – a challenge, but not one that has been insurmountable. It has been one
that I have taken on with great joy and devotion.
As everyone
has been telling me all through the pregnancy, having a baby changes you and
your life in ways “you cannot image”, but you know what? I have already been
going through it and love how things have changed, and I cannot wait to
experience and encounter what is to come. This Friday is meant to be ‘d-day’,
so bring on my new life...
In the
meantime, my mum and friends have got me on a great distraction – cooking!
Ensuring I have plenty of food in the house for all the visitors. Priorities
hey!
On the ‘to
do’ list:
Have a baby!
