100 days old

Dear baby,

Today, you are 100 days old from the day of conception! YAY!

It's quite unbelievable and the past 100 days has been ups and downs for me. For starters, I thank God that I did not suffer what many others have--morning sickness. I thank God that the hormones that are produced for you did not cause these symptoms for me. But I certainly hope there was enough hormones for your growth!

However, I did have a bit of mood swing especially at the start where I got a bit snappy. Then I got depressed (ok, not very very bad but I would cry and think negatively). Yet again, I thank God that He has seen me through and helped me through each challenge and situation I faced. Thank God for books and prayers of daddy too. Thank God for support from friends and cousin Janice and sister-in-law.

Thank God for helping me through all the consultations and visit to the gynae. Even today's blood test too! Though the after-effects was painful. Today, you are 9cm long! That's the size of my 5 fingers of my left hand combined with my index finger of my right hand! You sure are growing fast. I can see your head clearly, proportionately. Your arms and legs too. The doctor said that your leg was outstretched today. I saw your two tiny feet too as we tried to scan for your gender with 60% accuracy. I saw your feet moved, open and close, and you had even crossed your legs!

Well, so here's to another 180 days to the day I see you! I hope you are looking forward to see me too. Though this world is a fallen world where there's sin and darkness, may you find love and Jesus through us and the family. May you find Jesus and know Him; take refuge in Him and let Him be your guiding light.

Here's a verse for you that I read today.

Psalm 31:3
Since you are my rock and my fortress, for the sake of your name lead and guide me.
