I nearly fell!

Someone asked why there isn't any pictures of fatmama... well.... to begin with this blog is meant for Baby Hannah so... fatmama's face ain't that important I guess... secondly, of course, Fatmama prefers to stay low key lest she takes the attention away from Baby Hannah. hahaha..

Anyway, I nearly fell a couple of days back.


Well, we were watching our favourite 'Family Guy' dvd when hubby screamed in shock and started running towards the bedroom door. And when I saw that and witnessed some flying creature that has 'attacked' him so suddenly, I instantly morphed into a sprinter and screamed as I fled for dear life. Now, with my new found figure that is totally off the centre of gravity, I almost slipped and fell face down. Goodness! Still, thankfully, I made it to safety behind my bedroom door. I closed the door, and peeped through watching how my brave hubby 'wrestled' and 'fought' with the full-grown, menacing looking PRAYING MANTIS! And as I witnessed the entire episode, I couldn't help but laughed hysterically as I recalled and imagined how silly we both would have looked!


But, the weird part was this: my hysterical laughter got the better of me and I started sobbing. It was kind of weird. I mean, I REALLY thought it was funny but why did I cry? Hubby was astonished too. He couldn't tell if I was crying or laughing. It was then that it dawned upon me that I must have felt quite scared when I realised that I could have fell on Hannah. Asmuchas I thought the scenario was hilarious, some maternity instinct must have kicked in. I was so scared. I could have gone straight to the labour ward and given birth to Hannah prematurely. Goodness. It was at that moment that we thanked God for his protection over us.
