May 4, 2013 :
It
hasn't been an easy road the second time around. But as always, God
has the best timing. Completely out of left field and against the
odds. He made it happen just like that.
At
a time when I was wallowing in self-pity and boredom over my 10 day
confinement, little did I realize there was a miracle taking shape
inside. How cool is that?
I was planning a trip to Singapore with highschool friends, Joy and Emeelou, this Thursday. Bryan was planning a trip to Hong Kong in June for my birthday, too. I guess this is definitely a sign to take it slow for the next few months.
Though it was hoped for, but circumstances pointed to a miss for this month. Hah!
I
am just filled with awe and wonder at how God could plan this and bless
us with another wonderful being. I still stare at Dani in wonderment
each time. And I do hope I continue to do so all the days of our
lives. In my eyes, there is nothing more beautiful. The embodiment of
how my God is so amazing in a tiny little body. Such a little soul has
brought so much depth to this family already in such a short time.
I
do hope for a boy this time around. But then again, our future lies in
His hands. He knows what is to come and what we need. So I am not
going to question his choices on the matter. All I pray for is the
health of the new baby and myself.
Dani now has an ally in life.
"Do you hear what these children are saying?" they asked him. "Yes," replied Jesus, "have you never read, " 'From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise' ?" - Matt. 21 : 16
