Weeks 23 & 24: Choices we Make

Written by UrbanVox 0 Comments

Dear Jelly Tot

This has to be the hardest letter I’ve written you so far mainly because I get to talk to you about something I have been struggling with myself… A LOT

Every choice we make comes with a consequence… I should know… Daddy took a few very bad choices over the past few days and is now suffering the consequences immensely… I hope you learn quickest than I did that all the choices we make will affect not only ourselves but the ones immediately around us.

The good news is that every choice you take will lead to another one further along and we always get to choose how you will react to what’s happening next. So don’t worry if you end up making bad choices… We all do along the way, and believe me, the consequences of some of them will hurt like crazy but then again, at the end You can either choose to mop over it and feel sorry for yourself or learn the lesson with your mistake and do something about it. You have something called free will… It is the most important t gift you will EVER possess… MAKE USE OF IT the best way you can!

Me and mummy will always be here to help you take the best choices as much as we can… but in the end it is all up to you… and no matter how you choose to live your life, I need you to know one thing: I LOVE YOU MY SON! I always will, and there is nothing anyone can do about it.

Now, let me know about a choice I know you’ve been taking a lot… I know it is fun to kick and sit on mummy’s blather all the time… I find it amusing myself… that is when she is not giving me “the look” for giggling about it… but you do know what the consequence of if wil be right? (that is… apart from mummy having to pee a lot)… she will never ever ever let that one pass and will always use it against ya… in special when you bring your girlfriends home… Think it might be an idea to change your favourite spot??? Just saying…

Happy Easter Weekend!!!

Weeks 21 & 22: Learning

Written by UrbanVox 11 Comments

Dar Jelly Tot,

It has been 2 weeks since I last wrote you a letter. 2 VERY complicated weeks… but I guess you might have felt that through mummy… Too much happening, all at once… But as with everything that happens we learn as we live… That is THE ONE thing you need to make sure you understand… We never stop learning… And there is plenty of things you will need to learn the moment you come out.

The first thing you will learn, and probably the most traumatic , is that you need to breathe. It will hurt at first, but after the shock it is quite pleasant. Keep that in mind because it’s one of the things you will need to remember when you grow up… sometimes you need to stop… close your eyes… and take a deep breath.

This week we have also learned that you are not going to be daddy’s little princess but a little man just like your brothers. Mummy and I keep joking that we’re now only one short for a football team… Ah… and talking about football… you need to learn from now that the team you need to support if you don’t want to be in trouble with your mum is Liverpool FC… Believe me… you don’t wanna be on mummy’s bad side… I’ve had some of that this week, and it wasn’t fun… AT ALL!

The Mumps update:

Lil’ One’s Mumps have come a loooong way since I’ve picked him up from his mum’s on Tuesday

Mum was supposed to be having him but after Me n Hales talked and realised that as she was at a loose end all week once she had finished her assignment it would make more sense for me to drive 30 minutes to get him and him spend the week at hers in the peace and quiet than for Mum to drive 2hrs to pick him up and then have his noisy cousin around him!

He went from generally laying down all day feeling sorry for himself (and with all reason poor little thing) to finally eating solids, chasing cats and even going for the eventual walkies around Hayley’s place (generally pushing around a car that is two times his size). The swelling seems to be getting smaller, he’s been having less fever and his appetite is back so SCORE!

But the best part of it all is that I get to see him every day this week for a few hours as I’ve been all over the place in my desperate search for full time employment…

So Hales gets to have most of the fun, although she has said he is sleeping alot and seems to need that but he’s been good for her overnight. She does seem to be his favourite person in the world at the moment, so I don’t mind… At least I get big cuddles too!

J seems to have been having fun as well as he and LO were giggling away at the table yesterday after dinner blowing raspberries and eating (AKA throwing all over the dinner table) apples.

Tomorrow TB will join us after school for a sleepover before going to vovo’s house on Saturday and the picture will be complete…

Life’s little things are GREAT aren’t they?!?

Week 20: Half Way There

Written by UrbanVox 0 Comments

Dear Jelly Tot,

We’re now half way there… The past week has been quite hard on daddy… I didn’t get to hear your heartbeat or talk to you at all… Time just ran by and mummy has been stressed with an essay and other life related things… including daddy being a bit of a pain in the butt (yeah… get used to it…)… But today you’ve put a huge smile on daddy’s face… And a few tears in my eyes as well. They were tars of joy… it made me so very happy to see you moving… and thanks to for waving like I asked you last week…

You are still being as lazy as can be as neither mummy nor I can feel your kicks on the outside yet (although apparently you like The Jersey Boys… cool ) how about you give some of those kicks outwards so daddy can feel them too?

You really take after your mummy don’t you? As in being as stubborn as posible and being in the wrong positions at the wrong time… This time me ultra sound lady didn’t make your mum bounce all over the place, but she asked us to go for a walk… and you still wouldn’t do as you are told when we were back… I don’t mind really… it means we get to go see you again next week (and this time I’ll male sure I have the money for the your pictures on me… )… But PLEASE could you make sure you are in the right position next time? We want a decent picture of you.

Your brothers are convinced (like everyone else) that you are a girl now… and are really expecting you to be one… so for their benefit we might have to find out you gender next week… I still don’t know it I like the idea of ruining the surprise or if I get excited to find out if you gonna be our littlest boy or daddy’s little princess…

But you know what? Everyone out here will love you just as much!

Still 3 months and a half for you to arrive… I can’t wait to see your little face…

Love you!
