Knocked Up.....

The lack of updates is definitely due to a whole lot of reasons......

1. Left for Japan for 2 weeks seminar
2. Came back with flu and tons of work piled up, thus no time to update
3. Old laptop was sick for a long time with no workable keyboard
4. Unexpected news of being pregnant and having to deal with all the morning sickness

Yep......life has been kinda hectic the past few weeks. However, the baby is totally exciting news. It will be our first born and we are hoping it will be a boy (although I personally like gals) but my in laws and husband are just traditionalists.

We have been trying for 1mth and a half...kinda miss the first month cos RH was in Sydney and did not quite make it for the fertility period. Its been a roller coaster ride since we found out about the baby.

Even its conception was truely amazing. And calculations determine that the baby was "Made in Japan".

HOW DID WE KNOW?

Actually, I was totally expecting my period to come this month (cos I was feeling moody and temperamental, always a sign of PMS) and was feeling kinda down because our "efforts" did not bear fruit.

I went for a ministry training in church one Saturday morning and there was ministry praying for each of the volunteers. When I was being prayed for, I experienced a tingling feeling and God telling me to speak up for Him. I think He has been hinting to me since last year but I was not sure and unwilling to go out of my comfort zone. It is quite sad how little I have spoken about God to friends and families that I know aren't Christians.

Anyways, after the praying session, the minister encouraged us to share our experiences while we were prayed for. A lady (from previous experience, I knew she had the gift of vision) came forward to share and asked if someone was praying for a baby. I knew it was referring to me. I was totally shocked.

I came up to her afterward and confessed that I was the person she was asking about. She told me in detail about her vision of seeing a fetus formed and we prayed together. I felt at that time that I might be pregnant and even told RH on dat day itself. Although we were both so curious and anxious to know, I knew that it was too early to even apply the home pregnancy test. As my anxiety grew with each waiting day, doubts also began to crept into my mind. "Maybe the vision was for someone else" "Maybe it is not me"......

I asked God for another sign and if it comes, I will truely believe that I was pregnant. The very next night, God gave me the sign. I was eatting dinner as usual, with more appetite that usual actually. After dinner ended, I was strolling in Vivocity when I suddenly felt a very strong urge to puke......puke out my whole dinner, I did.

Dat night I decided to apply a HPT. I could not wait any longer, if it was negative so be it but I had to know. I tested positive that very night. It was just one day pass my period.

PRAISE BE TO GOD INDEED and I know that this baby is a gift from God and will be protected by Him........I a now sharing this story to more and more people as I believe this is what God wants and hopes that it will encourage your walk with God
