Raelyn @ Crawl

Felicia — Tue, 14 May 2013 05:51:59 +0000

Finally, this week Raelyn can turn over quite smoothly already. Last week, she is still struggling with 1 hand always trapped underneath her body. This week, she can turn left and right. That means more movements now and also to monitor her more closely. Thought, she can’t crawl yet only to turn 360 degrees instead. So funny. I will be missing her since I am flying to Macau this thursday.

Another Bicycle Ride at Punggol Park

Today we did another ride at Punggol Park. This time, it was with LCSG (Love Cycling SG) FaceBook group. There were about 20-30 people or so turning up for it. Total distance was about 29.3km. In between, we stopped over for roti prata, as always like their motto - ERP (Eat, Ride, Photo).

Work hard at…

David Wee quoted this:

Continue to work hard at what you love no matter what the odds are.
Eventually, someone will praise and appreciate what you do.

Godpa

Hehe, our cute Raelyn would reached out her hands yesterday when her Godpa stretched out his hands to carry her, how nice. Now she knew to react to us and to give the necessary actions. The new Godpa despite carrying Raelyn still walk very fast and showing Raelyn all the various window display items to her enthusiastically. She seems also to know to pick out items that she liked. My sister said at 5 months, she is starting to be able to tell colours apart, so we are all wondering what colour will Raelyn like in time to come. Hmm…

See here, a rare photo of my hubby carrying Raelyn and also both are in so matching clothing. 1 is in bright pink and another in bright green colour.

How’s life so far?

Felicia — Mon, 06 May 2013 05:53:27 +0000

So far I will say God is good to me. My weekend now normally is split to Sat, spending time with hubby. Sun to spend time with Raelyn and family, so busy huh. Am I happy? Yes, I do. However, it also makes me wonder, what happened if I am pregnant at this time again. I was reminded by the verse yesterday in church service.

Psalm 37:4 (NIV)
Take delight in the Lord,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.

An example that Pastor quoted was when a father lifted his son up in the air. What is always so amazing is the son will smile happily, how about the father’s reaction? He, himself is being delighted. We are happy and so will our Father be. Finding happiness in our daily life and be contented with what we have, sound easy, however we always wants more and make ourself unhappy. How’s true…

Sleepy Raelyn

Felicia — Fri, 03 May 2013 06:34:43 +0000

Poor Raelyn, I am wondering is she entertaining us or the other way round. See her sleepy look. We went to have dinner at City Square Mall last sunday. At the same time to check out the Toy”R”Us to buy her more toys to develop her motor skills. Surprising, there is also a Babies”R”Us, just nice for babies. Also, she seems to like trying to tear toys apart and get angry over it if she can’t. So I guess we need more toys for her in case the toys become “Angry toys”.

Workplace Prayer

Felicia — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 05:31:51 +0000

First head this from another carecell member. I find it interesting and re-post it here.

My Heavenly father, as I enter this workplace I bring your presence with me. I speak your peace, your grace, your mercy, and your perfect order in this office. I acknowledge your power over all that will be spoken, thought, decided, and done within these walls.

Lord, I thank you for the gifts you have blessed me with. I commit to using them responsibly in your honor. Give me a fresh supply of strength to do my job. Anoint my projects, ideas, and energy so that even my smallest accomplishment may bring you glory.

Lord, when I am confused guide me. When I am burned out infuse me with the light of the Holy Spirit. May the work that I do and the way I do it bring faith, joy, and a smile to all that I come in contact with today.

THE BIBLE

Felicia — Sat, 27 Apr 2013 12:11:56 +0000

Just to share that I have recently bought this 2 DVDs. 1 is the DVD version and another is the Blueray DVD. It first caught my attention because of an emailer sent to me stating that the show is on History channel. However, I didn’t manage to see the show over the TV but through other means. Despite that, I still wanted to buy the DVD to see it again. Through the show, it increased my interest to read the bible more often. I suppose that is a good sign, well, anyone wants to borrow it? Hehe

Are You Ready?

Felicia — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 03:00:25 +0000

Just seen the doctor last thursday, all blood results are back. Most of them is ok, in fact all except 1, glucose test. The post 2 hours glucose test is higher. Though not significantly higher but doctor say is “Impaired Diabetes”, not diabetes but just impaired. He said need to keep a close watch when I am pregnant on the glucose level as diabetes can cause miscarriage too. Another potential problem because especially when I pregnant, my highly desire carving is sweet drink. Drink like ribena that I don’t normally drink because I find it too sweet, when pregnant, they are just so desirable. So he said all is set and ready, I can go ahead and try naturally anytime. It makes me wonder are we on the wrong direction all this while? Maybe is the glucose level that is causing the problem, not the cervix? That might explains why the stitch doesn’t work? Then again, he said might or might not stitch for next pregnancy, to determine later since both pregnancies, either stitch or no stitch didn’t help. Headache, sounds like back to square one. Ultra confused and don’t know what to do.

Last friday, my friend asked me, “Are you ready?” A simple question yet I find it hard to answer. The expected lost of freedom, can’t drive, can’t even go out, can’t get to eat certain food, the same routine all days, 24/7. It does really get to me, to the extent I really feel no quality of life. A few days ago, God is telling me to slow down, now today He is telling me this. God is good! Slowing down does not mean to give up, neither does it mean to give in to sins. It is just simply means resting in Him and persevere.

Hebrews 12:1-4 (NIV)
12 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. 4 In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.
