i had a midwife appointment this morning and everything checked out ok. my favourite bit is listening to baby G's heartbeat. it's so strong and fast and ressures me that inside my ever expanding belly she is busy transforming into the little person we will meet in about 14 weeks time. sometimes, i feel kind of sorry for the cg and for men in general because they don't get to experience the joy of having a child first hand. obviously, i'm not referring to the throwing up, the abstinance from alcohol, the heartburn, the piles, the inability to sleep and the pain of squeezing a large object through a small orifice. however, those things aside, pregnancy is pretty special. i have never felt more special than i do right now. there was a time when we thought that we may never have a child at all. i'm sure once baby G is here there may be at least a few occasions when we wish we'd held onto to that view but i anticipate that there will be so many more moments when we are truly happy with our decision to create new life. things haven't been easy since we moved back to the uk. moving to a new country is stressful, as is moving house, twice, and trying to sort out hospitals and midwives in new places, twice and late, but we have been willing to endure all this to make sure that when baby G does arrive we are in the best position possible, to ensure she has a great start to life.
