5 Sep 2009How do you describe a Mother’s feeling when she sees the baby in her womb takes form of a Baby? And to know if he is a Boy, or if she is a Girl? Just like how the Mastercard trademarked theirs, the feeling is indeed Priceless. And to that, I say with conviction I was [...]
This morning we finally heard our baby’s first heartbeat through the ultrasound done by Dr Woo. It was going strong at a 134 heartbeat-per-minute *sniff**sniff* Isn’t it amazing that God allows us this chance to play Creator and make new life? And now having this Creation grow inside me is just so precious! I can’t [...]
