All The Little Things

7:53 am

The small talk in the street.(and wondering, "have they really forgotten?")
The first stawberries from the garden.(that never quite make it into the house.)
The cheeky robins sitting on the swing.(Who sat there keeping me company last year when I was in labour)
The Boden summer sale.(and the dresses I didn't dare buy.)
The summer term inset day.(and being grateful for a day at home.)

All the little things are still the same, and she should be here.

Every kick and wriggle from baby boy reassures me for a moment, then I wonder, was it too hard, was it his last?
I don't trust my body anymore, I want him out, I want him in my arms and alive and safe, and there are no guarantees.

I think there is a good chance I might lose my mind completely in the coming days.

Don't be shy, say hello!

  1. I know I can't really understand but it must be so tough.

    She should be here. I'm so sorry that she isn't it. x

  4. If I didn't know it was pointless and not bearable to do it (at least I think it it will be if I ever get there) I'd tell you to start reading birth lists and reminding yourself that normally it is all just completely fine.

    But I just know that won't work. In my own personal dark moments, I try to tell myself the other 4 are here and just fine, even my other vbac one and that not all babies are in fact born only to die soon after.

    Thinking of you every day.

  5. she should be here. it's awful that she isn't. Little boy will be here soon, the waiting must be torturous for you. I think you just have to have as many distractions as possible to help the time tick by now, to help keep you sane. You're almost there, you've come so far ((hugs)) I'll be over to annoy you again soon n help tick away a few more minutes:-)

  15. I really dont have any words of wisdom, I wish I did. I dont know how you will get through the days until Little boy is here, but some how you will (( )) In the remaining days of your pregnancy it feels like your online friends are joining together in a big circle around you, if only we could be there to protect you all and make you and little boy safe. I hope that doesnt sound too random or crazy ! xx
