I am happy because

• the scale is finally showing that I've put on some weight. There are only a few times in life when one can be happy about gaining weight, and this is one of them. (And I am happy because I've only gained about 1.5 kilos- I hope it keeps going slowly).
  

• from time to time I feel a certain little someone performing a summersault. I want to give a standing ovation for each little poke and prod since it feels so reassuring. I can hardly wait for those little kicks to become stronger so that the rest of the family can experience this wonderful feeling.
  


• I found a nice nightgown that I plan to wear when this little one decides to arrive. I didn't want to wear the same one as last time (yes, I still have it)
