The Halfway Point

This week marks the halfway point of bubba G's journey in to our lives...in 20 weeks we will finally meet our precious little child!

Just a few things I wanted to blog about what's going on with me this week. Firstly, I am not sleeping very well, keep waking up in the middle of the night for no reason. When I get back from holidays I will buy a special pregnancy pillow as I think my tummy is getting a bit too big now to continue sleeping in the positions that I have normally slept in. I am going to continue my monthly massage sessions to make sure that I am relaxing and my back muscles aren't getting too tight. Must remember to stretch during the day and move around...sitting in front of the computer all day is not good.

Last weekend I went to Sydney to visit uncle Diego. We had a great time relaxing, eating, and sight seeing. It was good to have brother-sister bonding time....we both realised that next time we see each other there will be an addition to our family. Very exciting times ahead for us all!

Today Daddy and I had breakfast before work and for the first time we really started to shift our mind set from having a child to raising a child. Scary and exciting times ahead when you think of all the milestones we will go through, all the challenges ahead...how will we teach our child about life etc. One thing is for sure though, we both want our bubba to know that it will be ok to try new things, even if its out of their comfort zone. Its the way we learn and grow...sometimes we try new things and we fail, but its about what we learn from our experiences that makes us better people. We were both raised with very similar values and we hope that we can be half the parents our parents were to us.
