Reflections of Motherhood

This post on mamamia (http://www.mamamia.com.au/) came at a very opportune time. Today is Regina and Ulf's baby's due date (http://www.misshermelin.blogspot.com/), 2 nights ago I felt our baby move for the first time (2 little pokes, amazing! Nothing since but you can bet I'm on the look out!). So motherhood is really on my mind. I don't know if its the hormones or the day or maybe I'm missing Joel and my sister and my mum, but I cried my way through this video this morning over my toast and coffee! I hope you enjoy it too.

  1. This is just so honest and beautiful. it's really nice to know there is a sisterhood of mums who know what each other are going through and just want to help each other.

    Watching this actually has made me think more about what you're going to go through once this baby comes along big sister, and about just how huge the job ahead of you is.

    I'm so proud of you, i know without a doubt in my mind that you are going to be truly great at being a mum but i know you're going to doubt yourself too and worry and fret and judge yourself, but you shouldn't. You're going to be a natural because i know how blessed i am to be your little sister and how good you are at being a big sister, so being your son or daughter makes this baby the luckiest baby of all.

  3. So glad you got to feel a kick! Glad the method worked :)

    Thanks for sending me that video. That was a really sweet one! All good here, no baby in sight. Been for a 2 plus hour walk, but that didn't seem to work either... stubborn baby!
