Weekend always ends so fast

I had 2 meetings on Saturday but still managed to have lunch with Felin at Changi Village Jacob's cafe. I really treasure every of these quiet moments with her now because I know our life will be different once the baby comes. I sometime do have problem accepting that we are going to be parents of two soon and occasionally visualising all the logistics and psychological challenges ahead as well as how my work will be affected. I am always very busy at work and I'm pretty sure my sales will be affected with the arrival of the babies. The question mark by then will actually be "By how much?". I'll be lying if I am to say that I don't feel stressed at all with all the expenses that are coming up next year that coupled with the changes that are coming head-on to my industry from Jan 2015 onwards.



One of the meeting on Saturday was with an army friend who took up some insurance cover for his newborn son. His wife did not experience any pregnancy symptom over 10 months, had a very easy delivery, baby boy was very "Kuai" and did not disturb the parents much during confinement. Now the baby is in his 3rd month and he can already differentiate between day and night. He will play more during day and sleep more during night. His MIL was also there to help his wife and his daily work is almost not affected at all from the day his wife conceived. His wife actually commented that things seems so smooth. Just made me envious "Why some people so easy one?"

When I look at Felin, I felt that she seems to suffer more. Even till today, she is still vomiting and feeling sick and tired most of the time. She already have problem sleeping at night and often wake up in the middle of the night, unable to fall back to sleep. She is already feeling backache and her body posture had already changed. She seems to get all these "Not so good" symptoms from the day she conceived. I know she is suffering and doing her best but I really hope God can dispel all these things away from her and let her enjoy her pregnancy, at least for the next few weeks during this so call "Honeymoon Trimester". I will step up my prayers for her tomorrow onwards. I know I haven't been strong enough on my faith.

For today, it was our fortnightly cell meeting. Felin and I was in charge of food and worship today. 2 of the songs we prepared "Everytime I pray" and "Amazing Grace" did touch my heart today. I must trust God enough and believe in my own prayers. Felin and the Babies will just be fine and may God protect them well. We then watched the movie "Heaven is for Real" in the entertainment room today. Its about a boy's astounding story of his trip to Heaven and Back when he was 4 years old. It gives us a glimpse of what Heaven can possibly be. He was in Singapore last year and we also took a picture with him.



After Cell Group meeting, I went for a jog. I did 7.8km in about 50 minutes today. Good distance but a bit too slow. Still room to improve and I still have Gym training tomorrow too. This is the only area that I did I did better. Getting regular exercise and a more controlled diet. I'm still not on track on my seminar target and still looking far from it.



Thereafter, Felin and I went for dinner at Ikea Tampines. We had salmon and meatballs. She wasn't feeling well and vomited whatever we ate earlier and fell to sleep shortly. Hope she will be well tomorrow for the new challenges she going to face in the office.
