HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I feel as I should salute 2010! We have now been in Romania for nearly 2 weeks and are enjoying it a lot. the calm and less hectic life here has done us the world of good. I had no need to cook, to plan or to do anything except enjoy catching up with family and friends (this also with no pressure) sleep relax and be happy. Jonathan is also enjoying the relaxing and somewhat slower life as for Reuben he is just in his world and seems happy. Lately I am noticing huge changes with him...he is more able to show emotions and especially showing me how much he wants and needs me. HE has somewhat started to be more aware of things and often looks at me for encouragement something I did not have to do up til now consciously. He has learnt about being shy somehow and if we go to new places he is very aware that he must hide his face?! - so takes him about 10-15 minutes to accommodate...its strange but I am sure its just a phase... He also likes saying "go away" when various Romanian relations and friends want to cuddle him or offer him their help. I don't think he means it but judging by how he says it I believe it is more to say I am not ready for this I need my space.He is speaking more, cuddles us more and very affectionate. Eating has been a challenge still but I do not want to get to stressed about this and with baby Zack coming soon I \don;t feel I want to make any major changes to his life or routines.
Baby Zack has been a pickle...when I finally get to sleep often not until early hours of the morning he starts kicking very very prominently. My belly has visibly grown and I feel very big and rather uncomfortable...he loves moving his positions and I can now just about tell where his head or bottom is. Strangely I had not many Braxton HIcks with R well with Zack I have them all the time sometimes even have to stop while I walk they are just that strong I hope this does not mean early birth!
So what about 2010? Ah, if only I would be able to quickly glance at what it will bring us. We hope that it will be ok that whatever else gets thrown into our lives we will be able to just take it rather than panic or get stressed. I particularly hope for peace and joy and contentment. I wish that things will work out in such a way that we can all just be ok. I wish that my darling husband will be able to work and enjoy his work and spend quality time with us. I wish that my boys would love each other and we would be able to be a happy 4. I wish that the sun would shine more often and I will enjoy the experience of new motherhood. Most of all I wish that God would accompany us through every second and minute of this year cause without him we are unable to BE!
Finally what do I wish for you all?! Well, I wish the same that you can encounter beauty, love, peace, joy and God's blessings and presence in your lives throughout 2010 and that you will find the strength to be whom you want to be and where you need to be.
XXX MARIA
