11 weeks old.....

We went to see our gynae in the afternoon. He was very pleased with the development of the foetus. It is now 11 weeks old and the ETA is on 15th Mar 07. Through the scan, the head, spine, fingers and toes are quite visible! And our little one was rather 'active' as well. It took him sometime to be able to take a measurement! Thank God for technology. I asked him when he was still a gynae-in-training, did they have the luxury of such high-tech equipment. The answer? No. They went by gut feel. (literally and figuratively) Back then, they did not even know the gender of the child only until birth. The date of arrival was also not known.

Times have changed. With the existence of technology, every nitty gritty detail can be known by just clicking a button. The next thing is to constantly pray for our child and that he/she will truly experience God's love even as He knits our child in the mother's womb.

We are very blessed to have a great CG who has been, is now and will always be upholding us in prayers. Quoting from our CGL, this child will be the 'first authentic disciple' of the CG. The reason is that Angela and I met in church, starting dating and walked down the aisle together. Now we are expecting our first child. It is truly by the grace and mercy of our Lord.

I guess the next two trimesters will be an exciting time for us. Thankfully, she has not had morning sickness so far. As for food cravings, she also has not been asking for anything in particular except the observation that she makes a beeline for sweet stuff.

The weekend's here! 1 more day to the SBR! Hopefully my running partner Yat Sing will be back to normal as he was nursing a slight blocked nose. We will conquer the Sheares Bridge together.
