Counting down to 再见

Today, I just realise there are only 15 more days before i have to bid hubby goodbye..
And only 10 more days before hubby has to say good bye to the kids..

Where did all the days go?
再见 - 很简单的两个字, 但埋藏了多少不舍与无奈..

What does it all mean for hubby?...

  • It means hubby will not hear Xuan Xuan utter his first Papa, when Xuan Xuan finally gets around to speaking..
  • It means that come next month, hubby will not get to count the tiny fingers and see the tiny imprint of the cute baby foot at the 5 month ultrasound scan.. nor trace the growth of baby through all the subsequent scans..
  • It means hubby will not feel the first flutter of our baby's movements or see the little ripples he makes across Mummy's tummy..
  • It means hubby will have to remotely view En's ecstatic joy over his 3 yr old birthday cake and blowing of the candles...
  • It means hubby will not get to sit with the kids and momo beneath our Xmas tree this Christmas for our annual family photo
  • It means hubby will not see my weight shoot past the 60 kg mark on our weighing scale
all these moments and more...

Somehow we always take such things for granted sometimes.. until the time comes for goodbye..

However, to look at it positively..

没有离别的惆怅
哪有欢聚的兴奋
漫长无奈的等待, 想换回的
是下一次的相聚...

It's really not easy for you to take care of 2, plus 1 coming when your hubby is away.

Must take care of yourself..

Saw your last entry on En..he is really sweet...

Children are really full of joy and surprises...

Hmm, can't NJ come back more often during the important days or holidays?

Hmm.. given his study schedule, may be a bit tough..

If i am not preg, the chance of us visiting him seem more likely..
But let's see..

Time will fly fast till u not realise that he's on his way back soon...U r one very independent lady that I've known of! Jia You! I won't be able to do it all by myself since my hubby is the dearest to me now!

We deliberated if NJ should stall his study for a semester so he can be here through the birth, but we rationalised that it is still easier to cope when I have 2 boys, and him away, then to have 3 kids and all with him in China while he tries to study.

And I also think I can't stand being a SHAM for so long a stretch without Melanie around.

So it is the most logical path to choose. Year end is is full of festive and impt birthdays, So i think this yr my festive depression will be worst than ever..

I am not very independent la.. just coping along as it goes and see how it goes. Thanks for words of comfort.. fingers crossed! :)
