Nesting instincts

At Week 32,

MUMMY is:

• Very tired due to the extensive amount of work
• A little worried that she can't cope
• Not sleeping too well as the lungs are compressed
• Can't sleep sideways coz baby likes to rock and roll
• Easily frustrated by scheduling problems (pre-preg or not, this is still frustrating)
• Still working till an average of 10pm and settling down only at 1 / 2am
• Feels very unprepared and unsettled
• Sweating like a pig
• Has not completed the antenatal classes
• Engross in getting cutie stuff for lil bub
• Very grateful for the help from people who are not close. On the contrary, am disappointed that all those close (apart from the MIL) has not contributed in anyway. Just a note: one parent called to say she has an infant seat to pass on; another parent passed on some bottles; n another said she wanted to buy a pram for me!! (which I rejected of coz!)...but am definitely counting my blessings

DADDY is:

• Still having travel plans at the end of the month and early October
• Still not buying the expendables and start on the washing process
• Thinks there's 2 more months and heaps of time
• Fearing that he won't have time for golf and is desperately trying to golf on a Sunday (a day when we are suppose to get our act together)
• Sleeping much earlier than mummy

Lil Bub is

• now a honeydew (estimated size of 48cm and 2kg -- will have to verify this Friday)
• Pushing a whole lot due to the lack of space (it's a really comforting feeling and feel very blessed. It's a blessing which is very well disguised)

Gratitude, like faith, is a muscle. The more you use it, the stronger it grows, and the more power you have to use it on your behalf. If you do not practice gratefulness, its benefaction will go unnoticed, and your capacity to draw on its gifts will be diminished. To be grateful is to find blessings in everything, This is the most powerful attitude to adopt, for there are blessings in everything.
