I have been rather lazy since I came back from Hong Kong on my 26th weeks..
The journey was easier than I expected. Mainly because I travelled Business class and I have my mum coming with me. My husband will come to see me in a week time since it will be the last long weekend in October. So I wasn’t that sad.
I couldn’t eat much apart from vegetable and fruits.I’m not sure because of state of my mind or what. It is very unusual for me since I always eat too much when I was on holiday in Thailand previously.
I was looking forward to seeing my husband and it was wonderful to see him again. The hardest part was when he left. He did not allow me to go to the airport to see him off for various reasons. So I saw him off at home, in the back of the car. When he closed that door, it was like someone took my heart away from my body. I couldn’t speak for a while but the pain was too much to cry…..
I started to go swimming every other day on week 27. I began to find things to do to occupy my time, including making soft toys for my baby. I heard that babies love the contrasting colours especially black and while. So I made black and white little toys.
My husband came to see me again on week 29. This time he was drunk from drinking vodka on the plane on top of a couples of beer before he left Hong Kong. It was the last day with his previous company but I was still annoyed by it. Having said that it means that he was unhappy. And he was. He did not like his previous company that much plus he was on his own.
I decided the next day that I will fly back with him to be with him for a week or 2. But then he thought about it and decided that he must try to be strong and shouldn’ t put my health or baby’s at risk. We are living expats lives. I stay where I think I will get most help and it is Thailand. If I were to give birth in Hong Kong especially by C-section, I would not be able to get up and do much without help, not that I know what to do with the baby anyway. This is our first baby.
Anyway, he joined his new company, very busy with works but very happy. So I am happy now. Let’s see how long we can last without seeing each other. Christmas is only 5 weeks away but anyhow we are only a plane away and if he needs to see me then all he has to do is come!
I went for a scan at 30 week so I can send him the photos of the baby. The baby looks so happy in there and everytime I see him, I feel happy and relax knowing that he is strong, safe and happy to be in there with me, in my body.
