Hasn’t She Had It Yet?

Оглавление

The grandparents usually find that, as the due date grows ever nearer, and the mother-to-be gets ever larger, there is more they can do to help. The last few weeks can seem to last a lifetime for the expectant mother, when every movement is an effort. So it is a time when even the smallest offering, like giving her a back-rub or cooking a meal, can be very much appreciated. Also, this is a good time to encourage the parents-to-be to go out together, because it is probably going to be a long while before they will be able to go out alone again.

You may find yourself getting almost as impatient for the event as the couple, especially as neighbours and friends seem to keep asking that old question, ‘Hasn’t she had it yet?’ I remember feeling quite nostalgic in advance for the times by ourselves that my daughter and I had shared, because I knew that they could never return. But then I shook myself and thought, no those times can’t, but the new ones can be even better!
