I went to the gynae yesterday. For the first time, I heard and saw the baby's heartbeat through the ultrasound scan. It's quite amazing at this point. The gynae told me that the baby is not feeding from me yet, it is attached to a yolk and the yolk is where it draws its nutrients from. It's just great to think that when God created the reproduction system, God saw to every detail. I wonder where did the yolk come from and how it is attached to the baby. It's a mystery to me but it causes me to sing yet again in praise to God.
When people heard that I was pregnant, they would expressed their excitement in WOWS & YAYS. For myself, I didn't had such an expression. When I found out that I was pregnant via the test kit, I went "Oh, I am pregnant" - as a matter of factly. Similarly, when Adrian found out that I was pregnant, he had the same response as me. We weren't into screaming the whole house/neighbourhood down. For us, it was sober and thoughtful. We are happy for sure, thankful to God but not overwhelmed if this is the right word to use. For us, it's new responsibilities and it's trusting God all over again.
A common question people asked me when I got pregnant was, "Did you all plan this?" I would usually stare blankly because I do not know how to answer this question. Perhaps it is my weird definition of what planning means but I am almost like dumbfounded when I am asked this question. This pregnancy is God planned I guess. We were not doing anything to want to make it happen, we just let it happen naturally. We couldn't decide when was the right time, God decided for us. Afterall, I don't think I'll ever be ready in the sense of the word but I believe that God will prepare us along the way. It will be nine months before I become a mum. God's timing is perfect.
So, a tiny pea like life is growing inside me and there's nothing I can do right now for it except to eat well and sleep well so that I do not fall sick. Congratulate me.
