Update on your brother

Hello my angel,

I just wanted to give you an update on your brother, who is now officially more obedient than you were, ha ha. He's been in my tummy for a whole extra day more than you, and hopefully, he'll continue to stay there for quite a while longer. On top of that, he seems to be a bit bigger than you as well. I went to dr. Burger yesterday, a bit earlier than scheduled because my braxton hicks contractions were getting moreand more again. So just for safe measure, to see if your brother is still ok, we went to have a look. Dr says your brother is weighing in at about 1.3kg already, and his body and legs measure the same as that of a 29 week old baby, not a 28 week old. But his head is smaller than yours, so unlike you, who has daddy's big head, and my short legs, he has my small head, and daddy's long legs. Ha-ha, maybe you two will be complete opposites (luckily they attract)!

You are going for your follow-up with Dr Enslin today to see that your ears are still ok. You've been waking up at night a lot again, so maybe something is brewing inside there? Or maybe it's just your back molars coming out because you have been biting your fingers a lot. When they are out, you don't have to go through teething again until you are much older, thank goodness, and then it won't be as painful, and you'll get some money for them as well!

Anyway my love, just wanted to thank you for talking to your brother, and telling him to stay put. The doctor is very happy with his progress and not worried about the braxton hicks anymore. He says it will probably pick up from now on because I am in my third trimester, something I've never reached before!

Love you plenty my angel.
Mom

Liewe Caden,
Skindertyd is altyd lekker!Ek dink jou ma en pa loop nogal kwaai deur onder die stres van jou boetie wat dreig om vroeg gebore te word.Hulle hanteer dit ongelooflik goed en ek is baie trots en geseënd om twee sulke kinders te hê - ek glo hulle gaan dit eendag van jou ook sê!
Ouma is baie trots op jou woordeskat wat so uitbrei. Dankie vir die drukkies, soentjies en al jou liefde.
Lief julle 4 baie,
Ouma Rina

Dearest Caden,

Well, the come has come for you to learn how to share the limelight, old buddy. Unfortunately, that's one of life's necessary lessons. But, just to let you know how much you mean to me, I wrote this:

No-one can take your place with me,
And time will prove to you I'm right.
There's no sweeter sound to me,
When you say “Oupa!” – clear and bright.

Nothing can pass your sight unseen.
No object hides away unfound.
A life lived in such a dream,
Floats like a feather to the ground.

You are as natural as the night,
And all that springs from you is pure.
And all who share your wholesome light,
Know you’re an angel – that’s for sure!.

Love you,

Oh-Paw
