When women get pregnant for the 2nd time, I know there is that feeling of can they have enough love for the 2nd as they do for the 1st. I don't feel that. I already love Fredrick with all my heart. In fact Jon says I "attached" myself more to Fredrick's picture than I did for Nathaniel. My concern is how this change is going to affect Nathaniel. Right now Nathaniel is the centre of our life and he has mommy's attention ALL day long (when he's not in school) and the moment daddy gets home, he has daddy's attention. In just a few days his world is going to change completely. Nathaniel is a very sensitive child and I am VERY tuned into that. I have already warned Jon that he is to be ultra sensitive to Nathaniel's needs/emotions during our trip. If Nathaniel is crying we need to care about "why" he is crying and not just make him stop crying! Maybe I'm concerned for no reason and he'll adjust perfectly and love having Fredrick around, but I want to be prepared!
I went to the osteopath yesterday. At first it felt wonderful and I didn't want him to stop "adjusting" my neck. BUT then he started rubbing deep and he touched on some very tense points in my neck. I wanted to SCREAM and he gave me permission to do so but I controlled myself. WOW it still hurts thinking about it! This morning my neck definitely feels better but those pressure points he released still hurt to the touch. I really should go more often! I just pray that having this adjustment before travelling will prevent any debilitating migraines from occurring (like the one I had in the Philippines).
Well my next entry should be from some airport, and if not definitely from Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), Vietnam. Cho đến khi thời gian tới (Until next time...)
If any of you were impressed by my Vietnamese, don't be!! This is what translation websites are for! LOL! :-)
I guess I'll post a comment now as I won't be able to for a week! Know that we are so praying for you all as you are probably boarding the plane about now. The only thing we'll be thinking of from home this week, is you guys...oh, maybe wondering what Ron's doing? (ha ha ha). Will write again when we get back. Love you all. Hi Nathaniel, we can't wait to hear about your trip on the airplane and all the fun stuff you are going to do. Uncle Doug and Tita (?) Dianne are looking forward to having you come and visit us and go for ice cream. Love you.
