(3 months into my pregnancy)
So here I am nearly 3 months into my pregnancy and feeling the fear that I may ‘not make it’ but simultaneously acknowledging that profound changes are occurring in my being.
When I said that I feel content it almost sounds like a bland lifeless expression but nothing could be further from the truth. For the 1st time in my 40 years I am completely clear about the task in hand. My life is no longer about me, not in a self-deprecating way, but I have a responsibility now and I feel it in the most intense and exciting way.
I need to be the best me I can possibly be…..
(5 1/2 months into pregnancy)
I am 24 weeks now and used feeling the baby move – I love it and it makes me laugh more often than not – I don’t think I’ve ever felt better…..
And so it goes on, I think you get the picture.
