My gosh, it's been a good 6 weeks and 4 days since I last updated! Well, I've not had much to report really, though BabyJac is steadily growing and making me grow with him (yes, I said HIM!!!). The past 6 weeks have been so slow to me! Yes, we've come a long way, and this wonderful miracle of ours continues to manifest his presence and has been giving me gentle reassuring nudges (probably kicks but can't feel much as I've an anterior placenta). All has been well though, and I continue to be thankful and feel so abundantly blessed!
Symptom wise, the constant nausea has eased off, heartburn continues and back pain continues too, though I attended a physiotherapy session and learnt some tricks that have helped in easing the pain some, especially in bed. I have sciatic pain as well on the left side, but all in all, nothing I cannot deal with. Oh, and weirdly, I've had a few out of the blue vomiting sessions too, which seem to happen more on Saturdays - I guess I eat too much on Saturdays.... though I seem to not be able to eat that much anyway. I think it's the meals so close together, and it may well be the fact I'm eating 2 extra meals in the time it takes me to normally eat 2 meals on a week day (family meals, LOL!).Anyway, must pace myself and be sensible on a Saturday!
So, we had our mid pregnancy scan on the 28th and I've one word to say... AMAZING! Baby boy has such a calm disposition, he was so laid back at the scan and had his legs crossed and looked so chilled out. Had the sonographer not been an experienced/confident one, I'd still be addressing him as a 'he/she'. I'm so glad I know, and I'm so thankful and feel so blessed and fortunate to have him, my son. Can't wait till I get to meet him and touch him in September/October. I really am looking forward to holding him in my arms and kissing him... so cannot wait!
So, all is good, nothing abnormal was detected, and I know these scans can't detect all, so I still am praying and believing that all is well and will continue being well, with no nasty surprises in future, please God!
Note to my boy:
I love you so much baby, you're my beloved first born boy child and I thank you so much for choosing me to be your mama. Keep doing as you are, grow big and strong babe, and get those systems maturing well for your life out here with us. I will cherish and love you forever and may our creator and guard keep you well and protected from all harm. So be it.
Lots and lots of love, protective light and blessings,
Mama x x x x x x x x x x x
