Little Lamb Rachel

Can someone remind me why I am in the biz of making babies? I guess it’s because my kids are simply too adorable; their hugs, kisses are so real and genuine; they make my day with smiles and laughter mixed with worries and anger; they are so irresistible; they make me a better person; and probably lots more reason…

So YES… We are going to have a Dragon baby and this is totally unexpected… From the initial shock to slowly coming terms with it to accepting it, it was not easy for me.. and I thank God for Buddy who was there for me…To those who have told me that children are blessings from God, I thank you.. and I am eternally grateful to Him who blessed us with these beautiful ones.

EDD is 4 Sept 2012.. So he or she will not be sharing the same birthday as Inez and Alvez.. Thinking of his or her name will be another challenge as it’s tough finding another name that ends with “ez”.

9 weeks already and I feel super bloated, nauseous, tired, hungry but yet cannot eat a full meal, in a constant state of discomfort.. This pregnancy is different from the first two as it’s a little more discomfort.. The first two were a breeze..Gynae say it’s probably cos first trimester and I don’t have enough rest. 

Please say a little prayer for me and my family if you are reading this…

One of the things that my husband does very well is being my personal chauffer. Before we started dating, he has already been sending me back home after my cg. My CG then was in Bt Panjang, he stays in Clementi and I live in Lavender, so you can imagine the distance and it is definitely not on the way kind as my CG was on Friday and his was Thursday.

After we started dating, he is my chauffer every Tues after leaders’ meeting and my CG day. I am always grateful for that and this is his way of loving me and showing his love. It’s his act of service to me.

It is an extra effort for him to come and pick me, even for now when I have change my CG day to Friday and back to the east. Plus, he sends and pick me daily to and from work.

Husbands and wives, be thankful for all the little things that we do for each other. Sometimes unspoken, we can take it for granted. Sometimes, when we get angry with each other, remember the beauty of the little things that we do for each other in our daily life. Always see the best and beauty of your spouse. There’s a reason why God put you together.

After 2 nights of observation, I seem to discover something new about my hubby. Though I think is weird but I appreciate what he has done.

After finishing Star Awards last night,hubby went to sweep the floor,use turpentine to clean some of the stains on the floor as a result of the reno,mop the floor. After that, he still help to change the bedsheets and even wash some of the clothes. I think by the time he slept,it must be around 2am already.

And now while I’m blogging,he is busy fixing the hi-fi that he wants to put in the bedroom and checking the lights.

Maybe he finds more motivation and inspiration to do certain things at night or maybe he is just in the mood. I hope he will always be in the mood to do all the chores (which I really appreciate, esp in my current state).

Thanks Dear Dear…

I do not know what inspired dear dear to be cooking porridge in the wee hours of the nite (like 11pm+). But that porridge was my breakfast to bring to work this morning.

I love the porridge – is the ‘ruan ruan lan lan’ kind (if u like, the Cantonese style kind). I really appreciate the gesture & that’s what dear dear usually portray his love language – Acts of Service.

When I asked him tonight, if it is only a one time event or can I expect more to come in the future, he said so long as I don’t grow sick & tired of it, not a problem to cook. Wow, what a great husband I have.

As to why porridge for breakfast, stay tuned for the next blog..

Dear Dear and I have never really emphasize or go the extra mile or effort to celebrate V day as we find it too commercialized. We rather make extra effort on our anniversary or birthdays. Nonetheless, we will still spend some time together on this day during our dating days.

This year is the first V day that we spend as a married couple. When you are on a tight budget, you can still bless each other. So, Dear Dear & I bought each other a watch last week (not some super expensive watch but is the thought that counts). It does not hurt that I have always like watches and love collecting them.

Since we already bought something for each other, I wasn’t expecting anything else. Dear Dear will be working on Sun (i.e. 15 Feb) and have to be on duty at JW on Sat, so he kept asking me to go JW Sat svc..Well, he disclaimed that it was not because of my earlier blog. He said he long had that intention even before I wrote the blog (I shall give him credit for that).. Of course I went for JW Sat svc and did what all married couples did that day.

When I woke up on Sat morning, to my pleasant surprise, I found a box with 2 Care Bears inside (finally, they have arrived.. ). Dear Dear actually placed them beside me after I fell asleep. I thought that was so sweet of him.

Inexpensive gifts that touch my heart is better than gifts that are bought without giving thoughts to it.

To my dearest darling, thank you.

One member asked me yesterday, “So Pst is preaching on romance,marriage & relationship,does it mean that he will get the married people to exchange their vows again like the marriage seminar he preached last yr?”

“Hmm, I’m not sure leh, maybe ba..” that was my reply. So she got excited & said, “Oh,that means you & Yew Weng will do that also,hahaha..”

I said, “No lor, my husband won’t bother about me cos he will be on duty, it won’t happen.” True enough, it turns out to be that way that he didn’t bother about me.

My member said, “Is ok, still got next wk, pst say got smthg special..” I said, “It still won’t happen to me, I can guarantee that.”

Today, I was surprised to see buddy at Expo cos her cg attend JW svc. What’s more surprising was she handed me a small little envelope & said that inside contains something she wants to bless me with & also the cards she return to me.

After going back to my seat & opening up the small little envelope,I found cash that buddy wanted to bless me with & a little hand-written note that says “Just wanted to bless u with something for the hse…”

I’m very touched & I feel very loved by my dear friend.
I really appreciate the gesture & the very thoughts & love behind it. It is not that amount but really a love for a buddy that really warms & touches my heart.

True friends are like diamonds – precious & rare.

Thank you,my buddy – one who has walked with me in the ups & downs of life, in different seasons of my life.
