“I appreciate it, really. It’s harder for me to get out nowadays…but I don’t wan to coup the kids up because of it.” It’s good for her too. Rosemary gets restless when she is cooped up at home all day. “How have you been Saima?”
“That’s very real. It’s always good to give the kids some space to play and some fresh air.” Kids cooped up only seemed to lead to some messy situations as best. “Me? I’ve been well – busy as usual but I can’t complain too much. Been staying on the move which is always an adventure.”
“Okay, good.” Rosemary smiles as they approach the playground. Once they arrive, both of the children are put down and they take off. “Thanks for coming with me. It’s hard to keep up with them on my own because of the belly and all…”
Seeing the children take off at the playground brings a smile to Saima’s face. “You’re very welcome. It was the least I could really do to help you and the kids get out of the house for a little while.”
“I can hardly believe it. I mean, in a few months I’m going to have three lil’ ones.” Though she has mixed feelings about having to raise a newborn again, she is still greatly anticipating the arrival of her son.
“Yeah, that’s going to be quite the time for you. It’s wild how fast time seems to past in situations like this. Hopefully, you’ll get the support that you need with all of them.”
Rosemary takes their hands, and gently places them on her stomach so she can feel the kicks. “It looks like he is really in there, huh?”
With their hands placed on the stomach, Saima remains quiet for a moment feeling the motion of the kicks against Rosie. “Indeed. It really feels like he is in there too.”
“Exactly.” As if he is listening to her, she starts to feel the baby kick. “Oh! He’s at it again. Do you want to feel it Saima?”
“Oh wow. Hm, ..Sure I’d love to feel it.” It was something that felt more connected to the whole process, and was truly wonderful to be able to participate in. Maybe it’s why they liked helping mothers when they got the chance to do so.
“I know he will be.” Muses the proud mother as she admires the picture. Rosemary has known that she is pregnant for the past few months but the ultrasound just made things much more real. “You know, he is already kicking! I can hardly believe it.”
Saima couldn’t help but smile a bit, glad to hear that Rosemary was so proud of the upcoming child already. “Wow, seems like a quite progression – already making himself known to you, how exciting.”
After scrolling through her phone a bit she shows off the ultrasound picture to her friend. The baby really does look like a blob at the moment, but the general shape of a little human is there. “That’s my lil’ Timothy! I can’t wait till he gets here.”
Saima goes to take a look at the ultrasound picture. It was still kind of strange that such photos could be taken. But it made them smile a bit nonetheless. “Ah what a cute little blob. I’m sure he’ll be a precious little baby once born.”
