A Random Christmas Gift

"You're one Beautiful Mother. May you have a Beautiful Son or Daughter...
Bet you gonna be a Great Mum for years and years.
Just so you know this is Just a random gift for this coming Christmas..."

Received this "random gift" from a stranger on the bus yesterday.
He boarded the bus, sat beside me, and started doodling on his notebook.
His arm keep knocking into mine in the process of doodling.. I was irritated with him.
When he sense that I was alighting the bus, he did not gave way for me to move from my seat right away..
I thought he was strange.
Suddenly, he handed me the note. I was taken by surprise and thank him for it.

N I realized it was a 'random gift' from a total stranger.

Still, it cheered me up. =)

Oswald at week 24

At Week 24, Oswald is very active. Although he cant be felt by the outside world, not even his papa, but I can feel him frequently. Kicking when I am sitting, kicking when I am working, kicking when I am about to sleep. Thank God it does not interfere with my lifestyle much.

At week 24, Oswald is a little too big. Doc says he is about 2 weeks bigger than standard. Need to watch my carbs and sugar intake. I kinda have a craving for potatoes, but have to cut back on it.. Every meal is a headache bcos doc advise to eat more meat to reduce hunger pangs. But its just fish, chicken, pork and beef. What other choices do I have? Aiyaya, headache la..

I wish for rainy weather everyday. Even though its a bit more inconvenient, but its so much more comfortable for me. Sunny weather makes me want to hide, n it brings on headache. Sometimes I wonder if I will ever be back to normal? Anyway, just some thoughts...

Just read about a friend's miscarriage. Just reminded know that its really not easy to bring forth a life. God is the Creator and Sustainer of life.

Btw, my child shall be called Oswald, named after our favorite author Oswald Chambers. Oswald also means power from God. His Chinese name is 书行. 书-follows the family name of his generation, also means book. 行-means journey. Combining the 2 words together, we hope our child will Journey with God all the days of his life according to God's word/book. 一生与主同行。
