Any Day, Now - 21 Jan 2018

The due date is 9th Feb and today is 21 Jan. I have completed 37 weeks. Any day now the baby should be here. The next few days are crucial. 

Strange feelings. I am closer to having the baby come out. and I feel like holding on to it a little longer! Though there's still 19 more days as per doc's due date, each day is taking me closer to the D-day and I am feeling these movements in my womb and know that very soon I won't feel them anymore. This is my last chance at pregnancy and motherhood.  This sensation, of this baby alive and kicking and breathing inside me - I feel truly blessed.

I have not become all round “fat”. 

My feet have swollen, stomach is big but arms and over all I am the same.

These kicks and baby’s movements within me now feel so precious. Because I know only few days left. This is it. No more. Only memories of this sweet time that I relished for the first time. With Tan, the tensions in my life – money, job, newly married life – were so pressing that I never got around to enjoying it or even remembering it. This time, God has been kind and fulfilled my longing. I have enjoyed this pregnancy. Loved myself, loved the bump. Loved the care and attention showed by Sathya.
