A Worried Grandmother

Since Sunday, I had not felt our little boy kicking as actively as he did in the previous week. In fact, I didn't remember feeling any feeling on Sunday and Monday. I told my Mom about this on Monday evening, and that made her worried. She even went to pray and occasionally, would stare at my tummy and then ask, "Did you feel anything?". My SIL even helped me rub the tummy to 'psycho' our boy to show some reaction. She said that I must talk to the baby frequently, because I would bond with him more than anyone else.

When hubby fetched me home and I told him about it, I think that got him worried as well, and kept checking whether our baby kicked. Finally, he did, even though for only a brief moment.

This morning, my Mom called just to check on me. She was very relieved when I told her everything was ok. I'm sure she was going to make me see the doctor if there still isn't any feeling. She guessed that our baby just has to take a rest after an active week. Felt a bit guilty to cause such worry to my Mom as she herself is recovering from a recent operation, but nevertheless, it is a moving gesture from her and a joy to know that she cares so much for her grandson. Despite her current shoulder and arm injuries that still require frequent physiotherapies, she still made an attempt to cook some tonic for the family.

This evening, our baby has kicked more frequently. No matter how ticklish the sensation is, it is such a wonderful feeling, and to know that your junior is doing well inside.

Oh yes, finally received our Desitin ointment!
