A Filipino American's new life
She was giggling and quivering as we sang the happy birthday song and I asked her if she was happy to which she nodded as she smiled in front of her guests. It was so amusing to see her face actually happy as she blew the candles on her peppa pig cake.
While I am excited to see my baby and hold him/her in my arms, my worry now is the pain of giving birth and my capability as a mother. I'm questioning myself. Can I do it? Will I be good enough? I realized that I have not fully accepted motherhood. My mind is still all over the place and I am afraid that I won't be able to perform my duty if I still keep thinking about my career and the things that I still want to do. Since I have been given this opportunity to be a mother, then I think I should be a mother first.
I could not believe my belly has grown so much! It looks like I just swallowed a watermelon! I am now on week 40, and I feel very heavy now. I can barely walk. I am due in 3 days but the midwife told me they will induce me before my due date. I really feel like my belly is like a water balloon and according to whattoexpect.com the size of my belly now is the size of a small pumpkin!
I did it! I was 7 seven months pregnant and I went all the way to the top of the Spinnaker Tower. By the time I got to the Sky Garden I was already panting after climbing 30 steps from deck 2.
