4th month

The 4th month is much better, I don't feel that tired and the best part, I can drive!
I miss driving, it's a freedom that I hope that I will always have.

So are there any changes on the 4th month?
1.) Definitely my tummy shows.
2.) I at least know which foods the little person wants - Jollibee, yum with TLC and pork bbq.
3.) Increase in fluid intake
4.) All of my regular clothes won't fit anymore, all I can wear are maternity dresses.
5.) I walk like an old lady, really slow.
6.) Cannot stand up for more than 2 hours.
7.) Cannot sitdown on any hard surface chairs for more than 2 hours.

And good thing I was on my 4th month on the merry month of December.

I love Christmas, but I was deprived of doing my Christmas shopping, as I cannot haggle with the crowd, as I was afraid my tummy might get hurt, so I usually stay away from crowded places. The good news however was my Ahia came home for the holidays, and it has been quite awhile since he came back for a visit.

Schedule was quite hectic while he was around, but I couldn't join in all the places he went due to my condition. But I was still glad that during the evenings I can have long talks with him or his wife. And since the family is complete, the overdue family picture was finally taken.

As January rolled in, I can't help but think about the many blessings I have received from the Lord. Two years ago, I was single and going places, life was different then. A year later, I got married and adjusted to a new life, it was a good thing that we agreed on not having a baby till both of us adjusted to the "couple" life. And the baby arrived just in time as both of us were used to the habits of each other.

Now, as this little person grows inside of me, we both pray that we are matured and equipped enough, not just physically, but spiritually as well to guide this blessing according to God's will.
