After our appointment with the midwife yesterday we rugged up and visited the ocean at sunset. It was freezing and I was surprised that my jacket fit around my belly. This sudden cold snap is icy and fresh, there’s snow falling not far from here and I can feel it in the air. At the moment, my favourite thing to do is hop into bed early at night, in my new Pjs, with a chamomile tea and a good book. Soon after Daniel comes in and we watch baby wriggle and dance in rhythm; a beautiful affirmation of strength, health, happiness. Life. Yes, I’m growing new life inside me. 31 weeks now.
