yesterday (at 21 weeks) I let myself love

[Roryrory]

After my mc in December I was lucky to fall pg straight away and after a few inital bumpy patches I am now 21 weeks. I thought I was doing ok - planning mat leave, thinking about buying a new mattress for bub, smiling at the appropriate times during ultrasounds. But yesterday in the shower I put my hands around my belly and realised that it was the first time I had actually felt any love for this baby. Or should I say allowed myself to feel the love. Strange - I hapily anticipated and enjoyed the kicks, watched my belly grow, smiled at the little profile photos - but yesterday was the first time I felt the love flow. I'm glad it's here - I've missed it

That is so very special Roryroy, a massive emotional step for you, as I remember you posting not long ago about your fears of not feeling the connection and love.

You have so much time ahaed of you to fall in utter love with your precious bubba, and I am sure that you will make up for what you feel you have missed in no time
