Gifts from Above

I have not blogged for a while. Many happy and good things happening in my life and in the lives of people I love. Thank God for His goodness which never ends. =D

Yes, I am pregnant, I'm sure many of you know by now. Slightly more than 3 months now. When I first knew about it, it took a while for the reality to sink in. But like what my gynae keeps telling me, I am having a very blessed pregnancy because unlike most women, I don't really have a serious condition of morning sickness or weariness. Just sick nausea in the morning. I don't think this should be taken for granted because fatigueness usually is a price to pay for being pregnant. So, I really thank God for His mercy shown to me. I believe God knows that I am only just starting out to be a full time church worker, so i can't really afford to slow down now when I want to give my very best.

Sure, I feel a sense of joy and bliss inside of me. But frankly, I can't really align my thoughts with the fact that I am carrying a child now. I don't forget it of course, I remember all the time that I am pregnant and takes conscious effort to be careful when I walk, watching my every step. And there are some 'felt' changes in my body such as increase in my weight by about 1 kg now, and tightness around my waist for some of my pants. But other than that, I still feel quite normal. Nothing too drastically different yet. I wonder if it's the same with every mum-to-be?? : )

I consider it a blessing to be able to conceive. I shared with my members last week that I really feel very happy because since young, I always have the fear that I can't get pregnant. Dun ask me where that comes from, but i always thought that way. When I became a Christian, i was most astounded when I realised that barrenness is a curse. Now that I am pregnant, I feel that God has shown Himself to be a faithful God. Whatever curse I thought I had, God removed it without a trace. ; )

And of course Isaiah has been a wonderful husband. We had a fun time thinking about our baby's name. He will without fail ask me whether I have taken by folic acid pills everyday. He will help me carry my things cos I can't carry heavy things now. He will always ensure I eat my meals. So, I do feel pampered now. ha... I should enjoy myself now ah! Wahaha...

Yesterday was a tiring day but joyous day. My best helpers - Gary & Meiling's wedding! What a happy day to see two people in love finally making a declaration before God and man, their devotion and commitment to each other. God will bless your marriage! I am so happy for the both of you!!! Congrats!!
