Pregnancy Updates : Life Changes

Well, it has been a while... but to be honest, life is hardly as fun-filled as it was in my pre-pregnancy days.
Not that I'm complaining - Sham & I couldn't be more grateful for the gift of a baby coming our way! OUR baby....woo hoo!

Truth be told, I'm still battling morning sickness, 7 months on.
But I guess I've learnt to accept it and be grateful for all the blessings in my life.

Considering the constant nausea, Sham & I seldom hang out socially these days or engage in much outdoor activities.
Instead, we spend a lot of time with both our families - having meals at theirs, putting up with them on weekends, etc. I can't be more grateful for the way both our parents have been there for us!
And I can't imagine going through these past 7 months without their constant, loving presence and support.
Indeed, we are blessed!

Sham & I are also bonding tremendously with our little baby!
She kicks, rolls, and moves around a LOT these days so it often looks like my tummy's 'dancing' about sometimes! Too funny!
Sham loves playing his guitar and singing to her and the best part is she'll respond by moving all about!
Sometimes, she kicks a certain part of my tummy and when I tickle the spot, she'll kick again. And on and on we go tickling and kicking, tickling and kicking.
Warms my heart no end and makes ALL the pregnancy pangs worth the while.

We really can't wait to see her - this baby God found us worthy to raise.
We constantly talk about how she'll look, how much fun we're going to have with her, the things we'll teach her, places we'll take her to.
Sometimes as I fall asleep, I close my eyes and imagine what it would be like to see her for the first time, to touch her and smell her!
And how awesome it must be to cuddle her close and feel her warmth - this baby that's ours!! Ours!

Babykins... already we are filled with love for you and await your presence with bated breath!
