and it's almost half way through..

WOW.. 50 days have gone and 50 days still to come. Well, theoretically that is.. In the midst of all the confusion about the British way of calculating the due date, I have a feeling that I will deliver before this date, not to mention that my mum is convinced I will. Actually I hope so, because it really feels that I have been pregnant for ages, and as I am getting heavier and heavier everything becomes less comfortable. Even baby moves now are not very comfortable, and boy does the baby move.. even Ali sometimes feels it and says, "aouch, that one was strong". At this of course I say back, "well, baby seems to be naughty like it's dad" :)

Meanwhile, I am thinking about all things baby.. baby shower, baby shopping, baby blog, and all the whens, whats, and hows related to all this. It's exciting yes, but sometimes it feels daunting. At the end of the day all I can wish for is that we make all the right decisions.

As the pregnancy is nearing its end, I keep thinking about the pros and cons. Of course, you can imagine which list is the longer. But as the order changes in these lists from time to time, still the number 1 on the cons is the unchangeable, unbeaten mood swings. God, I cried in the last 7 months or so like I have never cried before in my life. I'm glad this will be over soon.

Well, as the baby is active now and is doing strange things inside me , so I think I will go lie down and talk it through with him :)

It only remains to wish everyone a happy Xmas and a great new year.. I know that next year for me and Ali will be very special.. it will be the year when we move from being a "couple" to being a "family" :)
