A lovely Weekend

Today  we are at 38 weeks and we doing the countdown to holding baby J in our arms. Quite exciting I must say. Over the weekend I was telling my beloved that it is amazing how the floor seems so far. If something drops or you need to reach out for something, it really takes lots of effort but if you have helpful hands like baby gal's and her daddy life is bearable. Samara will always pick the shoe for mummy and I only need to slip my leg into the shoes.

Anyways, we were just chilling out at home on Saturday , when my sister Emma called and said she would love to pick Samara for the weekend.At Emma's home she is able to play with her three cousins. We quickly packed her bag and she couldn't even sit inside the house, she was seated at the door. Thankfully tata Emma was close by and the wait wasn't too long.

That left us home alone and I tell you we just chilled, no pressure to cook and it was relaxing. We had an impromptu date, went to eat junk food(not healthy) and later went for an evening play. We realized it had been a very long while since we had done that and were forever grateful to Emma and Chris. They are just the best. Sunday morning, made breakfast for two, prepared and went to church. Baby gal wasn't too keen to see us as her time with her cousins is always treasured. Infact we were saying, one would think we mistreat her at home, they way she cries when she has to say good bye to her cousins every Sunday..is depressing. Now you understand why we looking forward to baby J so that she can have company at home.

So a new week it is and we taking it a day at a time and loving it....

Unconditional love

As I went home last yesterday, I heard the song 'In harms way'  by BeBe Winans, Rhett Lawrence, Margaret Bell-Byars. When listening to music, I want to know the lyrics,what the song is communicating and how it applies in my life. This song reminds me of God's unconditional love, even when I do not deserve it, even when I have given up , even when he knows all He knows about me, he doesn't let go of me. That is just amazing. Undying love you've given to me Seen in me things I would never have seen I don't understand why you care so much, it's all a mystery Time and time again I ask myself What have I done to deserve such wealth The price you paid, I could never repay your generosity Chorus: In wanting to save me In order to save the day Because of love you placed yourself In harm's way It's truly beyond me Left without a word to say What kind of love would place itself In harm's way? What kind of love would place itself In harm...

My Journey with Caleb's Family

A friend requested me to share my story on the journey we walked with Caleb's family. So below is a very long blog on that over 1 month. Am not sure what is in store for us ahead but this far it has been God. After our experience with Atrial Septal Defect(ASD) through our daughter Samara, I felt within me a call to look for people to partner with regarding kids with heart issues. So In January this year, I checked the net and bumped into a local NGO. The organization basically deals with kids with heart defects from poor families. I thought it was a noble call and contacted the organization. They were fast to respond and I visited them alone and over the weekend on a Saturday with my family. On the Saturday we went, we met Caleb and his parents. This was end of January and they were discussing with the founder of the organization about how to raise airfare for them to travel to India, first week of February. I held Caleb briefly in my arms and his mum kept saying one day her...

One Month Later

Today, exactly 1 month after the surgery on October 14th, we have so much to be thankful for. I thank God that baby girl is doing great, has been on her feet, feeding well, gaining weight and one can hardly know what she had to go through. Today, we also celebrate that baby girl has stopped breastfeeding and for the first time since we came back slept a whole night in her room. Before the surgery we had her on a routine and she had moved to her real bed and was excited about it. After the surgery, there was need for reassurance and she woke up endless times at night while in hospital , just to make sure we were there and she started breastfeeding almost through out the night. When we returned she toned down on the breastfeeding and would wake up once during the night. This was very frustrating to me because it took us many steps behind but today she seems to be on her way to independence and am proud of her.Love you so much baby girl. Today, my beloved had to return to work after ...
