wanna be a professional sportswoman?

Dear baby,

At the rate you are going, it looks like we are in for big trouble when you finally meet us. You have been moving non-stop day and night, with seemingly no pattern whatsoever. More so in the last week, when you movements became strong enough for daddy to feel them himself! Keep moving tho, I quite like it, because then I know you're OK. It also reminds me of myself, always on the move, but don't become like me though!

Today was a big day for us. We saw you on the ultrascan - your little feet, long legs, little nose and face. In a somewhat skeletal form... But no matter, it's amazing how you have grown, what a miracle of life, praise God!

We also found out more about you today, that your daddy has gifted you the x chromosome, so you are a girl! I think he is over the moon, because he had always wished for a little girl but dared not hope for one. He had already named you years before you were even conceived, but of course that's a secret for the rest of the world. I guess this is a tiny little bit like God naming and electing His children before the foundation of the world, except He has perfect knowledge of everything.

Straight after the hospital appointment I went to the office (you made me miss a client meeting, but it was definitely worth it). Then I told my boss L about you. I was so scared that he would take it badly because he's quite a workaholic, but thank God for guiding him to react in a contrary manner! I even saw the human side of him then. What a relief, but its not over and I have to keep hiding you for another few days or week. There is another boss, and the rest of the office to tell... Now I'm confident that God will see me through this, because you are a gift from him in the first place!

Enough for today, but hopefully see you again soon, in Singapore! We are flying next week, I hope you are used you planes by now!

Till then, keep on moving, don't stop moving.... xxx
