I have the sweetest hubs. Don’t mind me as I go all mushy in this entry.
I was out sick on Monday & Tuesday. What I thought was an ordinary pain in the tummy turned out to be something more. Apparently constipation in pregnant women can cause infections & if the pain do not subside by coming Saturday, I am advised to go straight to the hospital for further tests & observations. Scary thought. First on my mind was the safety of my baby. I better start taking care of myself even more. I just couldn’t bear the thought of implicating my unborn due to my own negligence.
Dearest hubs brought me to Carousel (again) on Tuesday afternoon for high tea. Reason he gave me was that he did not get enough of his bread pudding the week before. Although I was not in the mood to gorge myself silly, the moment I got there, I just could not stop myself from practically devouring every single item on display. I just could not stop myself!! And I’m supposed to be sick!! Upon seeing my “healthy” appetite, hubs said that his actual intention of bringing me there was to see me eat proper cos knowing me, when I’m unwell, I transformed into an extremely picky eater. Thanks hubs! Its really sweet & I honestly felt slightly better after the meal.
The night after, I experienced my second contractions. Trust me. My threshold of pain is THAT low! The pain I felt was somewhat unbearable. Now I could barely imagine what the actual childbirth would feel like. I felt as though someone was wringing something out of my tummy & I was sweating quite profusely even under the blowing fan & air-conditioning of my room. I could not sleep. Just groaned & moaned. Thank God hubs was at not at work & he dutifully patted me to sleep, gently rubbed my tummy & constantly ensuring me that everything would be alright & that the pain would subside. I eventually fell asleep. Imagine having contractions w/o hubs around. I would go hysterical, I believe.
I am just thankful that he’s there. For me & baby.
I love you. You know that by now, don’t you.
