Beautiful Nine Months, a photo by pz.sher on Flickr.
Dearest
Baby J,
In
a few hours, the nurses at Gleneagles will be sending you an invitation, an
invite to the world. Hopefully by
afternoon tomorrow, (depending on how cooperative you are), we will see you for
the first time. After 40 full
weeks of going where Mama went and eating what Mama ate, you are finally going
to have a life you can call your very own.
I
am going to miss having you in utero.
Your mischievous kicks and tiny hiccups are definitely something I’m
going to miss. They were our
special moments and no one shared in those moments as much as I did. I will recall how Mama was constantly
obsessed with whether you were active enough (you averaged 10 kicks in 15
minutes) and how I got worried just the same when you started going crazy with
your kicks (hitting 10 kicks in under 5 minutes) making me think you were in
distress!
Mama
and Papa found out about you on the morning of 17th February this
year. It was the last day of the
Lunar New Year. We didn’t tell
anyone and Mama still happily went to work in my 4” heels. It was a very pleasant surprise, Mama
remember going through the day in a little disbelieve. Our God is good. Your Yiyi Rene was the first to find
out about you! Three days later,
Mama did a test again just to be really sure you were there and this time, the
reality sank in a little deeper.
We happily shared the news with your Por Por, Gong Gong and Yiyi Sam.
Over
the past nine months, you have been well looked after by everyone in the
family. The nourishing meals Por
Por prepares for you, not forgetting all the bird’s nest. The many pretty clothes that Yiyi Rene
sent home and how Yiyi Sam always entertains you after dinner. And there’s Gong Gong who’s most
interested in making sure your bassinet and car seat were properly set up. And
of course the hero Papa who has been your biggest fan! We hope you have enjoyed
your nine months stay in Mama’s tummy.
It’s now time to say “hello world”!
We
have been praying for you unceasingly everyday. You are such a precious gift from God and He has been so
faithful in answering all our prayers, taking away all our fears and
anxieties. You have brought me
closer to God. You have brought
your Papa closer to God. At this
age and God is already making use of you to do great things for Him. It is Mama’s prayer that we will bring
you up in a manner that will honour and be pleasing to Him so that you may go
on to do great things for Him.
We
love you very much Baby J and we cannot wait to see you so very soon! Our lives
are about to change forever and we are so glad you are the reason for it.
Love
you much,
Mama
