Baby... My second little one..

Am expecting the arrival of my second little one, I've been praying for another little Nephy since its easier to handle her. I taught Nephy to pray that way too, 'Please give us a baby like Nephy...' and she developed her own version, since she wasn't interested in another Nephy. Her prayers were 'Please give us a baby like Natalie...', my niece. Its going to be a long wait before we find out if the little one is going to another Nephy or Natalie. Nephy even has a name for the little one, she wants to call the baby 'Ray'. Ask her why, and comes the reply 'Ray as in rain'. Well, a million dollars if you understand it.

However, the nickname for the second one is "Gulfi". Reason, the elder one is Nephy , so the younger one is Gulfi cos it rhymes. Blame my mother for it ;)

The date is near now, am hoping that the little one will be born on the 4th of June to coincide with my dad's birthday. The last month is always difficult with the innumerous contractions, false pains, absolute lack of sleep, a tummy that gets heavier and heavier, anxiety and the nervousness of getting ready to welcome the newborn.

I'm nervous as well as excited everytime I think of bringing the newborn in. A thousand things going around in my mind about how Nephy would cope, how we would manage things. I'm the sort who gets over-anxious when things are left undone and when things are unpredictable. With 2 kids, the scenario is likely to have both, and my anxiety levels are just going to shoot up and up and up. God save us all. I need all your prayers, with the birthing just around the corner.

Thank you my near and dear ones.... pray for me and the kids...

P.S :- I've already exceeded the 8 kilo mark for prenancy, and am not very happy about it.

Flowers...

My hubby dear and my little darling bought flowers for me today. Out of the blue, with no reason whatsoever, they bought me flowers...... Magical. 

Maybe, its the little one in the tummy effect, that the two are being extra kind to mom. :)
