Every week that goes by during pregnancy makes me in awe of
the human body and evolution. I am sure that Sarah’s uncomfortable nights with
our little one are to ensure that both her and I get used to sleepless nights
in practise for the little bugger keeping us awake with screaming. I was hoping
for long lay-ins and plenty of good nights rest so I’d have something to
nostalgically remember when we’re parents. No such luck it appears this week.
She’s up and down, fidgeting all night and day.
I’m not sure if the considerable complaints of
uncomfortableness, full stomach, hard breathing, bladder issues etc. are
typical of this period of pregnancy, or it’s that Sarah is just a bit
high-maintenance. I seem to remember reading about the mother blossoming at this
period. No such luck. I am reluctant to anger both Sarah and you, the humble
reader, by saying that I think if I had to carry the child in a giant testicle
there’d be less complaints, despite the obvious inconvenience and
unpleasantness… so I won't say that. I will however say that I have been fully
included in the experience of pregnancy of late and I hope I’m being a
sympathetic ear most of the time – although after reading back through that
paragraph I doubt it!
On more upbeat news: Bump watch! I always expected to find a
bump a put off. For a man it screams: ‘Here’s your child’ not here’s your
beautiful partner. It was a worry at the early stages of our pregnancy.
However, it really suits her ladyship and makes her even more special and
attractive – In this respect she’s really blossoming. I guess every man will
react differently but it’s not changed my affection for Sarah as I thought it
might. I love putting my hand on it and cannot wait for a response from our
little critter within.
Anyway, I must off.
Bye for now
Andy
