come what may

We're slowly gathering our thoughts on what we need for TT and as this increases, and my tummy it's all becoming more real. I'm very glad pregnancy is nine months.

'Lorna could not imagine this baby. The world is full of babies, but she had never much noticed them. In nine months time - no, less, there would be a baby that was of immediate personal relevance. Her baby, their baby. And she could not grasp the fact, she could not conjure up any baby. Her body was in a state of disorder: no monthly bleeding, swollen and tender nipples, she began to feel nausea. It was as though she had been taken over by an alien force, and was now headed in some unimaginable direction, programmed to bring this about, come what may.' Penelope Lively Consequences

  2. Ah yes, but once your body (and your mind) settle to it, there is a wonderful calm and joy in watching your body develop the life inside it. The last 3 months are among my very favourite months in my life.
    There was a fair bit of the 'alien force' feeling though!
    Wishing you plain sailing and more comfortable days soon.
