thoughts

Every day now I feel baby jumping and turning. I can sit here quietly, and watch 'it' move around making my belly jump and pulse with every turn. I think of how baby will look and feel. I cannot wait to meet my baby! 

Lately, with all the sunshine I have been sitting in, my mind always runs down memory lane.. While sitting next to MFJ sleeping on the beach, I run my hands through the sand thinking of all the summer holidays we had in France. Thinking, hoping and wishing that with everything I am and everything I can be, I will be able to give my child the most exciting, memory filled life possible. 

I remember sticky summers running through markets, jumping in the sea, playing in the green rubber dinghy that was my Dad's when he was a child. I remember sifting through sand and finding tiny shells, collecting them with my Mum, they now sit on a shelf in a glass bottle, savouring the memories of our beach filled summers.

I am spoilt by my childhood, and want more than anything that when my baby is old enough, thinking about family and holidays, I hope they can look back on all the memories we have created for them and think how lucky they are, as I do now.

I have put in a request with Mum today for some pictures of our France summer holidays, and baby pictures. I think it will be fun to see whether my baby will look like me or MFJ when we were baby's.

Every day I am overwhelmed with thoughts of things I want to do, I want to share. But mostly, my thoughts are about my new family, and how I can't wait to be 3.
