That's you my sweetheart. Doctor said you might be a girl but it's not clear enough. We just got to wait for next month. See how much you've grown? Mummy's tummy is still small with you in it, but just look how perfect you are. You had the longest lankiest legs and arms, the sweet longest fingers... and the tiniest nose and lips. Daddy said that you have Mummy's nose, and Mummy said that you'll be tall as your Daddy. Just look how beautiful you are.

You were stretching so much and kicking and fussing all over... but you are simply gorgeous. Absolute gorgeous. About 10cm long and 120g heavy. You're still a small little fella, but perfectly beautiful. Daddy and Mummy can't stop fussing over you. We hope you can hear our voices... We are sooo going to talk to you more now. :) And do you like christmas songs? Some oldies? Hope you don't like heavy metal... Mummy will have a headache!

And finally today, we decided to tell the world about you and put your beautiful scan on Facebook. Guess what darling? You received 100 likes immediately in 1 days time. And all the beautiful wishes and compliments anyone can get. The beautiful surprise you are to the world and even more people excited to see you now. That's how special you are baby.

We love you, but you bring more love than anyone else. That's God's great love through you my child. That's how Great God is. And we are so thankful for you baby dear...

And love you so much more. xxoo

My Dearest Baby...

Merry Christmas my child. Today Jesus was born and Mama Mary gave birth to Him in the stable because they couldn't find any room. But it was a real delight having Him in this world my dear. God gave us His Only Son to save us from our sins and bad ways. Through Jesus we have a second life. And we can only give thanks to God. How fortunate we are to have receive Him. I know you know Jesus and God the Heavenly Father. He was the one who created you too my child. And he bless Mummy and Daddy with you. You are our miracle darling, and how sweet you have made our Christmas to be. You're the best gift anyone can have.

When Jesus came sweetie, He brought Joy to this world. And because of His joy, we have strength to go through trials, hardships, sadness because of His Mighty Love. And Christmas Mass today was BEAUTIFUL...

So you see my little one, you bring Joy to Daddy and Mummy. You are our joy. They always say that mothers will glow when they are pregnant. But Mummy doesn't glow. Because I know you are my glow.

And everyone thinks you're a little boy... saying old wives tales that Mummy's tummy is pointy and all. Only Grandma Lily and Grandaunt Elna think that you're a girl. Who knows. Only God and you know. You're our little surprise... But whatever it is we will find out soon about you. And Daddy and Mummy with God's grace will think of a suitable name for you. Right now, we are just embracing the joy you bring sweetheart...

And we love you so so so very much.

Ps: Grandma Rose got your milk bottles, sterilizer, and Grandaunt Jen got you a spider toy. I can just see the love you bring sweetie to everyone and EVERYONE is excited to see you too :) xxoo

My Little One,

I felt your sweet kicks today. It's the first time ever. Mummy thought it was just gas going through my intestines, but Aunty Joanne explained to Mummy that that's you sweetheart. A small little drumming in one area near the belly button, then another drumming in another corner. How sweet joy you bring my child...

We love you soooo much.

And the special thing about today is it's Mummy's Grandma Christina's birthday today. So you made it extra special for me darling.

I love you so much.

20 December 2012

My Dearest Child,

How i wish there was a little sneak peak window where i can see you everyday. I wonder how much you've grown, what you're doing, how big your hands are, whether you're smiling, whether you like the food Mummy has been eating. I can't wait for the 26th Dec for our next scan to check on you sweetie. I pray that all goes well.

Mummy's tummy is getting bigger now. My pants don't fit. But i find it so comforting to know you're growing sweetheart. Make Mummy feel sick, or look big and it's all okay because of you inside baby dear. Daddy has been talking to you every night, kissing you where he thinks you might be (near the belly button) and rubbing Mummy's tummy to get close to you.

You know sweetie, you've very much loved. Aunt Jennifer from Australia came by the other day and got you your first 'furniture'. She got you a baby bath, some towels and some socks. She really nearly lost it and nearly got you a bed. Mummy had to hold her back from doing too much damage. But hopefully she will be able to find the special carrier for you when she returns to Australia. And your Nanna, she's gone to get bottles and sterilizers for your milk. And it's all in the spirit of giving.

It's Christmas in 5 days sweetheart. I can't wait for your first Christmas in 2013. Mummy and Daddy will make it so grand with decoration, food and music. And let you learn and experience of the Joy of Jesus's Birth. Do you know why we give presents? It's because the wise men gave presents to Jesus when he was born. And the star on the top of the tree? Is because God used the biggest shiniest star in the sky to guide the wise men to Jesus. And the smell of incense? They are the gifts of the wise men to Jesus too. You see love, we celebration Jesus's special birthday... like how we celebrate yours.

Mummy is a bit bored today and worried if i don't use my holiday rest properly. I know we must rest, but i want some quiet time too... would you like to go to the beach sweetie? Maybe later Mummy can take a bus ride, and we can enjoy peace and tranquility of the sounds of the waves.

I love you dearest baby dear... My adorable Baby D. 

2nd December 2012

Dear Sweetheart, Mummy didn't make it for church today because she needs more rest in bed. She's not 100% fit and it wouldn't be fair to others in church too if i spread my virus there. There might be other mothers too taking care of other babies, and what if they got sick too? Not so nice love. So Mummy is resting today... and i  just want to tell you how close to Christmas we are getting to :) It's the first Sunday of Advent today love. I can't wait for you to experience your first Christmas... Do you know what joy God has provided us when he gave us His Only Special Son Jesus Christ to save us and guide us? I know you know who Jesus is. He is the one keeping you company, and playing with you, and talking to you all these while when God put you into Mummy. :) And Jesus always takes care of Mummy too you know? I can't wait for you to know Him. God is everywhere and is everything.

I was telling Daddy today of the plans i have for you. And all i want is for you to follow Jesus and be guided and be obedient to God's holy will. I pray for God to bless you to be happy and healthy. I don't expect you to get flying grades or be a great scientist. I just want you happy and simple. Honest and kind. Loving and humble. I pray that you'll have good great character that will bring you far. You don't need tons of money to be happy or satisfied darling. But you need to find God in your life to find happiness. Only with God's grace you'll find joy and peace. And that's what life is about. Giving thanks and knowing God is everywhere. Only then sweetie, will life be meaningfully enjoyed. Remember, always Praise The Lord and give Thanks.

Ps: Mummy always praise God for His Creation when i think about you... or when Mummy sees a tree. God is everywhere my child.

Love you.

27th November 2012

You see love, while any mummy is having a little baby like you, their immune system goes down so that the body keeps the little baby safe inside mummy's womb. So that's why sweetheart, mummy's caught a cold, sore throat today. All the people in the office have been sick, so now mummy has caught it too. But mummy is as stubborn as ever, Mummy will not take any medicine because she wants you safe. So mummy has gone on a health diet... lots of lemon honey water, gargling salt water, drinking tons of water and vick vapor rub every night. And it's working. I know with God's grace and healing powers, God will heal mummy to be healthy to take care of you. I can only give thanks to God for all this. And again, mummy can't stop thanking God for you. Love you so much... 

Ps: Mummy's pants don't fit anymore. What joy that brings!!! :)

26 November 2012

Dearest Sweetheart, you are truly beautiful. The past days Mummy was abit worried because i've decreased feeling sick, nausea, cravings, aversions, etc. So worried about you. But to see you today kicking, stretching and sliding up and down was the most beautiful miracle i've ever seen in my life. I can't stop praising God for you and His wonderful Creation. You were really active when Doctor Ong was checking on you. You did so much exercise, you were so cute, you turned to your side and fell fast asleep so soundly. What joy you bring us all! Then it's Uncle Maurice's birthday today too, so he came down with Aunt Gen. They were so inspired by you too. Darling sweetheart, you are my pride and my joy. And we thank God for your wonderful growth and development... your tiny hands were stretching and feet were kicking... awww. I can't wait to feel you inside my dearest one. You're 4.15cm now and nearly fully formed. Mummy is feeling alot better too and Doctor Ong said that it looks good and soon the first trimester will be over. Daddy was so excited he videod you just for a short while on the screen. I just can't wait to kiss you baby...

Prayer to St. Gerard for Pregnancy

St Gerard, holy intercessor for mothers and babies, please pray for us during this time of our pregnancy. I feel this blessed life growing within me, and i am filled with praise for our Wondrous Creator - A God who gives life and then entrusts us to nurture and nourish it. I think about our Blessed Mother, bearer of the very Son of God, and of my own mother, who bore in loving faithfulness. My prayer is that God protects this baby, that we have a safe and healthy pregnancy and delivery, and that this child and all our family grow in living faith until we find our place among God's Communion of Saints in everlasting life. Amen.

13 November 2012

You're 9 weeks today sweetheart, how amazing is it? You're getting there and i'm so glad you're blessed by the Lord. Today Mummy is struggling with her emotions. I've been noticing i can get pretty short tempered and intolerable to many people, and pretty sensitive to many unimportant issues. But the one of the main things is to quit my job and focus on you. I can't wait sweetheart and i'm counting down the days. In life, it's not about money, success, work or career that matters, but FAMILY. And i want to make the sacrifice for you and Daddy when the time comes. I surrender to God to see what happens next when the time comes. Quit my job or pursue another that's more supportive for my well-being and my family. We just got to be patient with the grace of Our Father.

12 November 2012

Another day of shots love for you. Mummy has gotten used to it and give thanks to The Lord because there are other mothers who have to go through more shots and more medication. I'm just thankful whatever i'm going through, it's with God's grace and blessing for you. And Mummy noticed that after each injection, i'll feel so sleepy and sick. It's normal sweetie. I just can't wait for the pregnancy to stabilize and we can announce to the Whole World about you. :)

9th November 2012

Mummy had her first nausea truama today. Doctor Ong did warn me about the increase in symptoms, but Mummy wasn't prepared for today. Feeling sick and had to rest in bed. But every second i feel sick, i feel joy my dear little one. Because when there's nausea, tiredness or plain cravings etc... it means you're growing. Praise the Lord for these symptoms. I'm embrace whatever it is as long you're healthy and growing just fine.

And Mummy doesn't crave any specifically.. just specific food from specific places. I don't know if it's because of you sweetheart. Like... a pizza slice from Jurong East, or Yong Tau Fu from Bishan, or frozen yogurt from Town... i hope you're not a fussy eater little one. hehe. But whatever it is, i pray that you'll learn to be an obedient little child and thankful for what you'll receive. I can only leave it to God and see what happens each day. But i just pray that you'll be a loving, kind and merciful child, obedient to the Almighty Father.

8th November 2012

Dearest Baby,

We were excited yet nervous for our 2nd scan... But with The Lord's embrace and blessing, here you are. A complete beauty. You had a top head and little hands, and you still had a short tail. Absolutely beautiful my love. You're 8 weeks 3 days old today and approximately 2cm long. And the most extraordinary part? Your beautiful sounding heartbeat. 160 beats per minute. You are perfect. It sounded like 'duku...duku'... and it was really fast like horse galloping down the meadows.

You are perfect. Our little one. I'm just so excited to meet you when you're all grown. Right now, i'm just praising The Lord for you. You are our miracle child. And you're a real absolutely birthday treat to Mummy and Daddy. Thank You Lord for this wonderful beautiful gift.

I love you baby. And i can't stop telling you so.

7th November 2012

Today is Daddy's birthday sweetie. He turns 37 today. Do you know that Daddy is older than Mummy by 10 years only for a day? How special God has put us together, and bless us with you now. I always wonder how you'll look like. Will you have daddy's smile and beautiful eyes? Will you have Mummy's curly hair and big bold ears? All i know is you're going to be perfect because God made you. And i can't stop praying for your healthy growth and development and God's never ending blessings upon you.

While we were cutting the cake dear, Daddy was filming you. We could see the tummy is growing alittle bit more now and we are so excited you're part of family. And you simply make us so excited. We can't wait for you to get bigger and healthy, and i can't wait to feel you by my touch. You're the sweetest dearie. Absolutely fascinating. We started calling you Baby D... ain't that cool? :)

And Godma Aunt Maryanne today gave Mummy a birthday card and a gift in advance. It's a prayer to St Gerald for all mothers and children. And a lovely sincere written card to the both of us. It's so meaningful. I pray you'll love her to bits. She's the sweetest wisest girl you can ever meet. Aunt Joyce (whom you'll probably won't meet because she's going back to Spain) also gave Mummy a card today.

You know my sweet little fella, in life there is love and love is the true reason that make life worth living. I always thought it's about other people loving me, but sweetie, you are the one who is teaching me to love someone from within and i know and believe that my love for you is indescribable. And you my little one, is teaching me an even greater level of God's almighty love for us.  Motherly love. I finally am starting to get it.

I don't need a pregnancy glow... because i know... you're my glow.

5th November 2012

Today you look tiny dearie... I guess all the bloatedness is fading away. But every second i adore you and stroke you. I wonder if you can feel my heartbeat. I love you so much and even more each day. Today's injection was not so painful. But mummy felt more nausea and dizzyness. I guess I need to listen to you and rest more. I dreamt the other day that i was carrying a baby boy to his cradle. I could smell him and feel his soft touch... your bottom looks cute. I wonder if you'll be a boy or girl. Only God knows now. God is indeed the True Creator dearie. He created you. And you're perfect. Simply perfect.

29 October 2012

Another day of injection again. As we know, i'll do anything for you my sweetheart. I'll go through it all just to know you are healthy, safe and sound. I know with God's grace you'll be blessed but it's simply being your mother that i worry every nitty gritty detail about you. I can't help loving you more each day.

You've grown. I just know it. It should be week 7 now, and your heart must be beating very well now. I can't imagine how God created you so perfectly. I so dearly love you my child. Daddy and Mummy can't wait to hear your heartbeat next week.

Thank God for Daddy in our lives too. He is simply a comfort and a real sweetheart. I betcha you got that gene from him. I pray you'll grow up to be a lovely man like Daddy is if you're a boy. And if you're a girl, i pray you'll grow up as loving as how Grandma is. I'm so blessed with your Daddy and Grandma, they really dote on you and take care of me when i'm down.

Sometimes my dear, there will be people who simply live their lives in a negative way. Mummy is trying her best to stay away from these people. And you should too. But Jesus said that we must always love others, our family, friends and enemies too, even when it's hard. If they don't want to talk to us, it's okay. If they don't want to look at us, it's okay. But we should never stop praying for them or blessing them. They need our prayers alright my child? I hope you'll be prayerful too when you grow up.

'Jesus has given us by example that we should respond by praying for their conversion as we suffer their erroneous ways...' Church Bulletin 29th Sunday 2012 World Mission Sunday

I love you.

28 October 2012

Told Aunt Shaleniie about you and she's hysterically excited. She can't wait for you to grow and see how beautiful you are. Finally had to tell your news to Aunt Jane and Uncle Siva too. They were telling Mummy was putting on weight and looked tired. Daddy couldn't hold back his joy. They were extremely happy that you're here in my womb sweetheart. You're simply a bundle of joy to all.

24 October 2012

Dear Sweetheart,

Mummy met a good lady today via your godma, Aunt Maryanne. The lady's name was Cheryl. She said something that will stick to mummy's heart and that is 'Mummy is your voice'. I'm your protector. I got to really take good care of myself, because then, I take care of you.

No more late nights now and proper foods for you sweetie!

Baby, you don't like all the strong smells right? Like durian too? :) Daddy was very happy when you didn't fancy durian :)

23 October 2012

Dear Baby, today Mummy and you had some quiet time together. Mummy lighted a candle in church for you. I pray the Lord keeps you safe and blesses you every second. And at night, we watched a movie together – A Thousand Words. It’s about a man who never listens and never understood what’s important – family. He learned his lessons the hard way, but a wonderful ending, he got back together with his family, loving them more. 

22 October 2012

We got our first glimpse of you. Your tiny heart was beating. Mummy and Daddy cried out of joy. You are our miracle baby. Doctor said Mummy is 6 weeks pregnant, meaning you’re 4 weeks old. Dear baby, you’re growing well thank to God. Mummy and Daddy keeps praying endlessly for you. Even Nanna… she keeps giving God constant reminders to check on you. Daddy and Mummy went to church immediately after the check up to give thanks to God. May the Lord keep you blessed, protected and loved with all his mighty powers. And then Daddy brought both of us for a special surprise brunch at TCC. You love the pancakes sweetie with less sugar. While Daddy finished all of the maple syrup (the sweeter tooth).

18 October 2012

Took our first picture together darling after dinner. I’m so happy you’re growing so well. I pray it’s all comfy for you inside. The two books from Amazon that I’ve ordered even before you were conceived arrived today. Daddy took some pictures of us. He’s so excited. We were talking how to arrangement the room for your arrival. Daddy was talking about getting a nice seat for you in his car. You know how crazy Daddy is about cars, but he’s crazier about you. But we leave it in God’s hands. God always provides and takes care of us, and we are blessed. Did my first reading about your growth. You should be 6 weeks and the size of a black bean. You’re gorgeous and you’re going to be more beautiful each day.

17 October 2012

Morning mummy got into an accident in the bus (the door slammed on me). Kept praying for you to The Lord and Mother Mary. May they keep us both safe. Because I kept worrying about you,  Mummy went to church to pray for you. And Aunt Maryanne did too. We simply thank God for you are a miracle, and very much loved and more love coming your way when the world knows you’re here. And there was an Aunt Jean who prayed over you in Jesus’s name. With God blessings and grace darling, we can do anything He wills for us. And today, Mummy learned to pray over you with my right hand. Do you know we all are given the gift of healing? I pray the Lord will bless you and protect you every second.

15 October 2012

Mummy had to get a jab for you… painful, but totally worth it darling.

11 October 2012

Mummy had to realise that life is about family. Trying to stay busy and careful again. 

10 October 2012

Your other great grandma Christina came into my dreams today. She blessed you and wanted you consecrated to the Lord. What a lovely dream. My moods have gone over the moon. Had to cry today because of how rough a day it was at work. Daddy was a real comfort. He’s such a star. But I’m trying my best to stay calm. Your Grandma Lily was so excited she kept asking what I wanted to eat. Baby dear, you don’t like fish. But I hope you’ll be healthy, obedient and a good child of the Lords and to your parents. Aunty Mary Anne attended mass and shared the homily. She said God was talking about the beauty of families and God being our Father. I hope you’ll learn that God is the foundation of our family and Daddy’s and Mummy’s marriage. And you are our miracle.

9 October 2012

Dear Baby,

We did a blood test today and found out it all looks good. Praise the Lord. But I’m still nervous. Trying my best to be extra careful to protect you. Can’t stop praying to God for His protection. May The Lord bless you. First time ever, mummy felt sick. But it’s all worth it. I’ll go through anything for you. Daddy was so excited, he bought a couple of cartoon DVDs. We are going on a cartoon spree for you. Trying our best to be joyful for you. Attended mass to pray. Even attende Devine Mercy service. I pray the Lord bless you.

8 October 2012

Dear Baby,

Today I found out I’m pregnant. It was a real surprise and shock. It was a real miracle from God. Months of trying and lost the battle once. And now, it is truly God’s grace that it all appears positive. I tested and when it was positive, I first told Ah ma (your great grandma). And she was so shocked, all her hair stood on end. Your dad was shocked and excited. But we were just so nervous and afraid of losing you. Praise the Lord for this miracle. You are our miracle.
