It's Thursday morning of a non-working day. The house is arguably clean. I just need to pick up my family from a nearby train station soon.
I'm in bed - not doing anything. TV is on - not really being watched.
What am I going to do once a stop working in a few weeks' time?
But anyways, I have been wanting to write about my gratitude for a relatively easy pregnancy.
Looking at my pre-pregnant self, I didn't have the best digestion system and the best exercise routines, nor ability to perform a regular healthy cooking. My happiness level goes up and down.
But somehow I made it through the last 6 months with very little pregnancy issues - mostly just feeling bloated and uncomfortable in the tummy.
I've been able to eat anything that's there for me to eat.
My shoe size hasn't changed.
My back feels alright.
I don't see any stretch marks as yet.
I've been able to commute on public transport and perform the 9-5 work four days every week.
I've been able to walk all the way to and from my hospital appointments.
I've been actively working on the singing/video project with my choir friends.
I had a good gentle dance with my 27-week belly at a friend's birthday drinks.
I've been able to complete my 30-day plus 6-day fasting accummulated from last year!
This baby is a real bless. He or she would go along with whatever it is that I need to do without showing any signs of physical complaints.
Despite my major sweets cravings, my glucose blood test revealed a normal sugar and vitamin D level.
It surprised me when my midwife seemed satisfied with both my and baby's conditions.
I know this is all the work of God's. He has been protecting us and taking good care of both of us. I know I wouldn't be able to do this on my own. I struggle to keep up with healthy eating. I struggle to talk regularly to my belly. I struggle to keep up with exercise.
I still struggle with getting up in the morning!
If you look at me, there's probably not much change in how I live my life since I got pregnant. Yet my belly keeps growing and somehow there's Someone looking after the new little life inside it.
I am truly grateful.
