Nervous but...

It's just 6 weeks to the due date and I am so nervous. I can't think of anything else but this karate kid that is keeping me awake at odd hours. I am getting really tired as the days go by now - I get restless, my back hurts, headaches, but all these don't even come close to dampen my spirits as I count down the hours - yes, hours... I am THAT excited!

Being a first-time mom, I can't help but ask if I'll be a good mum, would I be able to tend to my baby's every need? Having a baby feels like putting your heart out of your body and watch it transform. If I can be half as good as my mum was, then I know I've won the jackpot! I didn't realize maternal instincts would set in so fast... I find myself turning my head to the sound of a baby, wanting to pick up and hug every baby I see these days. I always thought that whole "mother thing" comes after you've had your baby, not when the bun is still in the oven! It's really amazing and a bit scary to realize who soon one's life changes. I really wish this baby comes with a manual... I know, I know, it's just a wish and wishes sometimes come true, right?

I look forward to every ultrasound and doctor's visit. I have 6 more to go, that is if mini-me comes on the due date.

Our New Addition

As we wait for the arrival of our new addition to our family in just a couple of weeks, I can't help but wonder what it's going to be like. Our we going to be great parents? Are we up to the task? How much will our lives change? October 5th, 2007 is what the doctors tell us is the official due date, but there are chances that this little kick-boxer might make an early arrival.
