We are on route to the babies' 31st week and I'm certainly getting nervous about it. There seems not much time left to get myself prepared to be a Father. A new milestone is going to happen very soon and a whole life different from what I use to live everyday.
From what I gathered, twins tends to be born about 37th to 38th week. In many instances, the babies may arrive early, probably in 34th - 36th weeks. If the pessimistic projection of 34th week is true, it means I may be seeing the babies in about 3 weeks time. Me, Felin, our Cell Group and I are all praying for full term baby. I also requested my sister to join in the prayer. Our prayer is that the babies arrive on 5th Jan 2015 which will be our babies 37th week 4 days if our prayer comes true. We just want to bake the babies for as long as possible so that they can develop fully in Felin's womb.
I still have many things left undone at work. I haven't send all my greeting cards and calenders, I haven't write my year end message. I haven't done up my slides for my next seminar on Insurance Planning. I haven't research on the PIC claims, etc... I also have many usual daily stuffs to do such as HR appointments, Management of advisers and staffs, my usual general insurance renewals, Claims, client's proposals and appointment to prepare, etc...
Moreover, my sales wasn't too good over the past few months and considering a likely next few months of lower activities and lack of sleep ahead are definitely not going to help for my sales for the entire banding year. If sales don't come in over the next 4-7 weeks, it will be difficult to catch up from my lower business in first half of the banding year.
On top of work anxieties, there are parental anxieties on whether I have prepared adequately for the babies arrival and whether I can withstand the feeling of lack of sleep, whether the confinement lady engage is good, whether we can get a domestic helper soon, etc...
Statistically wise, babies may arrive as early as 3 weeks time but I must pray beyond statistics and believe that Joshua and Josiah are blessed babies who will come only in 2015... which means coming in 7 weeks time. I'll pray that Felin will be able withstand the babies weight if they really gets to 37th week.
Pray Pray Pray. Let God take control...
