Although, as I've heard from friends, as baby gets bigger, the kicks get harder and more frequent, sometimes even giving mom a bruised rib, I have no doubt in my mind that once that child is in your arms, all those pains and frustrations of baby keeping you up all night are completely worth it!
With baby becoming increasingly busy in the last few weeks, having his kicks and movements becoming more noticeable, even to the point of being quite distracting whilst I'm doing my everyday tasks, I can't help but think of how blessed us woman are to be able to carry the miracle of a child within our wombs. As I make my way through this pregnancy journey, excitedly reading all of the growth trackers week by week, I can't begin to explain to you how overwhelmingly exciting it is to know, your baby is the size of an apricot one week and then a grapefruit the next! It's the little things that make you so happy! Not to mention, when you feel or see their first kicks, the emotions that rush through your body, knowing that your child is well and growing. Although, as I've heard from friends, as baby gets bigger, the kicks get harder and more frequent, sometimes even giving mom a bruised rib, I have no doubt in my mind that once that child is in your arms, all those pains and frustrations of baby keeping you up all night are completely worth it! At the same time, I can't help but feel sad for the dad's, they don't have the experience of caring for a child in their womb, feeling their every movement, going through all the emotions of learning all those exciting growth progresses that us moms experience. I suppose their 'pregnancy' journey is different, in watching their partner slowly transforming into a mother over the 9 months, with her tummy growing ever so slowly day by day... Although I'm sure if the roles were reversed I would certainly have a serious case of FOMO! I guess, I will never really know what goes though a dads mind, being somewhat of a 'third wheel' to his partners's pregnancy. I know I still have a few months to get though, with all the difficult side effects that come with the third trimester, but to be honest, whatever my little baba has planned to torture me with in the coming months, all I can say is I can't wait! I know that I am the only one that will be able to experience it, and that makes me excited! Although I am able to share it with you all in my writings, I will be the one feeling them and that's what makes it more special. I am one with my child and that is a blessing. Although I'd love to keep him inside of me forever, where I'd always be the one to share these milestones with him, I really can't wait for his arrival!! Until next time... Stay Blessed

It's the most amazing feeling but you don't only share their milestones in your belly but when you have them in this world, every milestone is even better. The feeling of being pregnant is wonderful but to me the most memorable and best feeling was when my little one was born and I heard his cry for the first time. It melted my heart. That was such a wonderful moment in my life Comments are closed.
