A drawer has been allocated for the newborn's stuff
Now that I'm 33 weeks pregnant, it'll not be long before Jaide would make her grand appearance. All the preparations have been made:
1) Baby clothes, things and beddings have all been washed and neatly kept.
2) The playpen (where she would be sleeping in) has been re-assembled.
3) The old and dusty pram has been scrubbed clean and the paddings washed.
4) The confinement food has been ordered.
5) The hospital bag is packed.
6) The older children are getting used to the idea of a coming addition to the family.
I wait in eager anticipation of my third and final kid to be born, not simply for the sake of the baby, but also for me to get my body back and resume my normal life again. I look forward to being able to have my full functioning capacity to cook, do chores, manage the house, love my husband, take care of my children and go back to my ministry.
I yearn for days when I'm not plagued with constant nausea, frequent fainting, numerous visits to the toilet, breathlessness, heart palpitations, bleeding, inability to sleep well, lack of appetite and energy. I want to throw out (or give away) my well-worn maternity wear and lingerie, and do something about my wardrobe that has not been renewed much for the past 5 years.
Most of all, I would love to thoroughly enjoy my children before they grow up way too fast. After spending half my married life being a mere incubator, I want to be a fully active and vibrant mum to my kids. I feel sorry especially for my eldest who had to endure 18 months of his young life without a normal functioning mother while I bore his 2 sisters. I wish to make up for lost time.
May the Lord grant me a smooth, safe delivery and a healthy easy baby girl after all the hard work that the whole family has put in!
