... and the child moves *ouch...!*

Dear Luv,

"Red moves!" I cried a few weeks ago. It was an amazing experience :) Ayah and I were startled to see spasms on my womb. And to feel it moved.

"Cute," he said.

"Strange," I said.

It was a total happiness, to realize there is life inside of me, to feel it, to have it. Something I never thought before, something far from my imagination. None of my sense could explain such feeling, though I feel it. And by the day, the moves are stronger and more frequent. The more Red moves, the more Ayah and I realize how much we love Red.

As now, when I'm typing this, Red's moving in my womb.

...wish you were here with us, to feel Red.

luv,

:: Privilege of Being an Expectant #2 -- baby fat ::

Dear Luv,

Gak terasa udah mau masuk trimester ketiga, hmm... cepet banget ya, perasaan baru kemarin morning-till-you-drop sickness deh. Enggak terasa juga udah dua bulan wira-wiri Jogja-Solo, hehehe... berdesak bersama di kereta sejak matahari masih baru muncul sampai udah mau tenggelam. Enggak nyangka, aku bisa :) Kupikir dulu pas masa bedrest bakalan kayak gitu terus, ternyata malah sebaliknya. Semoga trimester berikutnya juga as good as this one, even better. Soalnya bulan-bulan ke depan udah mulai muter ke lapangan :)

Well, eniwei... tadi pagi pas berangkat di kereta aku baru menyadari sebuah perubahan lagi di badanku. Emang sih, banyak literatur yang bilang soal ini itu. Nah, tadi baru aku mengamati kalau jari-jariku menggemuk, banget. Tapi anehnya siang ini dia mengurus lagi, hmm... should I ask the doctor about it?

Selain bertambahnya baby fat (yang sebenarnya enggak seberapa di badanku) akibat nafsu makan gila-gilaan, juga mengakibatkan heartburn. Dan lagi panasnyaa... aduh mulai kepanasan lebih gampang ngerasa sumuk dan sumpek ketimbang si ayah yang biasanya gampang kepanasan. Jadi tidur pun mulai pindah, keluar dari kamar, boyongan alat tidur ke ruang tengah yang lega udaranya hahaha...

Hmm... gotta split now, musti nyelesaikan beberapa hal sebelum berdesak lagi di kereta :)

... oh how I love this kid from the moment I knew he/she's there.

cheers,
