The world I live in

Last Sat was time to see my baby again. This time’s scan showed the baby’s heart besides face, hands, feet and body.   This is how I feel right now -  alive and looking forward to life. BV thank you.  

Dear Baby no. 2. I hope you feel the joy I feel ever since I came to know you are in me. It’s only that circumstances around me do not make me go easy on myself at times.
