Alhamdulillah.
Hit Week 32 with the unknown blessing of a common cold – sore throat, dry cough, greenish phlegm and the likes of it..
With technically 8 weeks (only!) to go, this is the period where as a pregnant mum i wish for time to both slow down and speed up at the same time!!
SubhanAllah crazy as that sounds, its exactly what I wish for.. Not too late. Not too soon.
Reasons for wanting for time to zoom pass is of cos..
1. I cant wait too meet our little missy
2. I wanna get rid of this “heavy” and “slow” feeling associated with the final leg of the pregnancy.
But that aside, i cant help but feel that 8 weeks is too short a time for.me to get so many things done..
1. Pack hospital bag
2. Get ready baby’s stuffs
3. Collect and sieve thru baby’s necessity from aunt’s house (our temporary storage space)
4. Wash and arrange baby’s clothings and other needs.
5. LOTS OF READING UP ( previous entry)
6. ‘ukaashah’s play-n-learn materials and weekly plans so he wont be lost in transition upon entering brotherhood.
7. Reorganise the room to accomodate another occupant.
8. Mentally prepare myself for labour and breastfeeding on top of mothering 2 kids..
That is about all that I can think of for now. More will come on my plate soon enough. I just hope it can accomodate Allah mustaan..
But above all, i sincerely wish for ultimate quality time with my firstborn while he is still my one and only.. I am trying hard to put my needs and fatigue aside for the sake of showering him with undivided attention.. Although there are time when i cave and lose it, i wasted no time in picking myself together again for not wanting to regret..
In Allah i seek help in fulfilling my duty and in honoring the gift He has granted me..
