Little Gift

Our little gift, Jaden has finally decided to come into this world. He came on a date that will be difficult to forget; which is the day after Daddy & Mummy's wedding anniversary. What a coincidence.

Saw quite a few pictures of Jaden loaded on Facebook. I guess these are the moments that you feel alone and away from the family. Jaden looks so cute and chubby. I believe he's gonna be a bundle of joy. I pray that he will be a healthy and happy baby showered with lots of love.

I believe you will be happy being a gugu. I think you would have loved him a lot and probably spoil him by playing with him all the time and carrying him. I wished you could have been here too. Although we have this bundle of joy into the family, he will never be you and will never be able to replace you in our hearts.

Sometimes when I look at a baby, there are little pangs of wants too but those pangs just can't override the other feelings I have of wanting a baby. I think there are just too many stuffs at stake besides money. In any case, I always believe in things happening for a reason and things are already planned by God. I shall take it in stride whatever comes.

Jaden will be 2 years old before he will get to know this da gu. It does feel sad to be missing out on his baby days although I'm sure there will be pictures. It got me to think about Melissa's parents and how they are also feeling about missing out on the growing up of their grandson. Although it seemed to be a hassle to skype almost everyday, those 30 minutes are the only consolation her parents have as grandparents spending time with their grandson. These 30 minutes are the only reason her parents wouldn't become strangers to Isaac when they meet in person in 2 years' time. Guess I have to rethink those 30 minutes and remember not to be complacent and take things for granted.

Time For Meditation

It's time to start meditating especially after the 2 trips that I went on. Was happy to be able to travel with Dearie especially since we've never traveled on our own before. I must say, I did see a different side of him coz he's usually really stringent with money and shopping is definitely one of the NO NOs for him unless necessary. I guess going on trips make it different and I must say, he did not restrict me in anything that I wanted to buy. I'm glad to be able to know that and it makes me weigh the needs versus the wants before I actually get my hands on it.

Fall will be starting next week. The weather is starting to get colder. As I begin my meditation, I gett to concentrate on my favorite hobbies like reading, knitting, scrapbooking and baking. My baking attempts have been going quite smoothly and I truly believe that one can do it if you set your mind on it.

Well I can't wait to see the Fall colors and to enjoy the last bit of warmth before the freezing cold sets in.
