Lucas- Going on 5years

Finally got to transfer Lucas' picture into my Macbook..

Meeting Lucas and my parents each week has become my priority. Even in my heavy pregnancy, I want to make it a point to meet up with them.

Lucas is really animated.. Look at all his drama faces. =)

Him and his teddy bear drawing block.. N his botak head!

This pic when he was just about 3 years old.. His cheeky pattern starts since..

And as he enters into the year 2011, approaching 5 years old, his drama faces are... (make me speechless)

I could not interpret this picture until he told me he is imitating kolar bear! Hahaha!!!!

Looking at Lucas staying with my parents, I really appreciate how my parents have taught him to just appreciate the simple things in life. His pencil case is not overloaded with fanciful pens/pencils/ erasers like some kids. Well, yes he has a Transformer pencil case (his dad bought for him) but inside he only has a pen and a pencil. Another pencil given (or borrowed) by his teacher which he uses but never dare to sharpen it because it belongs to his teacher and not his! And his hairstyle.. its only short or long.. but the style remains the same forever!

As I think of Oswald, I pray that as he is cared for by my parents daily, he will also develop a lifestyle of simplicity.. N appreciate the simple things in life. I pray also that Lucas and Oswald will be like David and Jonathan in the bible- the best of friends and brothers.

Week 34- Almost there

This week, Oswald is 34weeks old. He weighs about 2.6-3kg (a big baby) and estimated to be 50cm. He should be due in about 6weeks time. I hope he can come a little faster though (maybe in another 3 weeks?)

Watching some video on natural birth can be scary... The excruciating pain the women experience, some shouting and groaning.. I wonder how I would look like.

Within all my means, I hope that I can have a natural birth without having to have epidural. God has design us (or curse us?) to be able to suffer the pain of labor. Since God has designed me this way, then I should be able to do so without the pain relief medication.

Pray that God will give me all the self-control I need to apply the breathing techniques I have learned. Pray also for God to guide Oswald gently but swiftly down the birth canal. N for God to relieve my pain during birth. Pray for Paul to have wisdom to know what to do to handle the labor. Calm our anxiety and experience his peace all throughout labor and birth.

Its a new experience and not sure how I am going to handle it. But no point dwelling too much over it because since its unavoidable, so I think I will just have to go through it.

Oswald, together with God (protecting us), your dad and your mum, we can make it! Love to see you soon!
