What's in a Name?

It's 58 days to your due date, little one, and your mummy still can't decide on a name for you. I just wish you could tell me what you think :p

Got a small list here, in no particular order:
  • Vedran (jovial)
  • Valerian (healthy, strong)
  • Vesa (sprout)
  • Wystan (battle stone)
  • Yll (star)
  • Zeferino (west wind)
  • Zyad / Ziad (growth)
  • Rune (secret lore)
  • Savio (clever, bright)
  • Akasha (open air, space)
  • Aiden (little fire)
  • Sven (boy)
  • Rhys (enthusiasm)
  • Calixto (most beautiful child)
  • Senan (wise)
  • Drewe (wise)

I'll wait till we meet, little one, then I'll decide which name suits you best!

Slight panic

This morning, I woke up from a bad dream. I panicked because I couldn't feel you move!

I got up out of bed feeling rather numb and achy from being on my back for a long time (I'd apparently shifted position in my sleep), which isn't good because I'm not supposed to be lying on my back for a long period in my third trimester.

Well that certainly added to my panic, and what's more I tried patting my tummy and calling you, but you didn't give out the slightest movement! I wanted to wake your Papa up, but couldn't bring myself to do so because he looks so peaceful in his sleep..

So I immediately drank some milk, ate a chunk of chocolate (sugars usually make you move more, or so they say) and sat and waited.

And then... you shifted! I was SO relieved, Sayang!!
After that you continued wriggling and kicking for a couple of minutes and I felt a bit guilty for disturbing you in your sleep (maybe you were just sleeping after all and I panicked as a side effect of my bad dream las night?).

I'm glad you're okay, little one.
Still moving around a lot as usual, you probably can't wait to explore the world. But be patient, it's another two months to go, then we'll be able to see each other face to face, little one!
