prayers granted

I told you in one of my previous blogs that I will be updating you once something comes up...well, for one, Santa (oh the good Lord!) has granted my Christmas wish number one! Last Thursday, Alvin received the good news that his contract with BAT was extended! Thank you Lord, another answered prayer! And just like what I have written, once wish number 1 has been granted, wishes 2 to 4 will most probably be granted as well. But I am in no hurry. Even if I receive those gifts after Christmas, it will be perfectly fine with me.

Now my focus is to just give birth. All is set on Monday, the 22nd, 8am Sydney time (5am Manila time) and I know that once I step on the hospital grounds on Monday morning it will be the start of a whole new adventure! I have prayed that Sam comes out early, I was thinking that since Liam came out two weeks in advance, she might as well do the same. But no, I think Sam has decided to stay and wait for the day. Sometimes I find myself why this is taking too long and honestly I have been grunting already! Well, it was only in the last two days that I became cool about this whole waiting game...a little voice was telling me that I have to rest my worries first. Yes, up to this point, it is a struggle for me to rest my worries especially for the people whom I will be leaving at home, while I'm at the hospital. I worry for them, I worry for my son, I worry for my home. Talk about being a worry wart all over again! Well, can you blame me? I'm a mom and a wife! It was a good thing that was finally able to release my worries to my husband last night, I shared to him my thoughts and feelings of going to the hospital. His assurance that they will manage and they can live while I'm at the hospital made things better for me. Him telling me to make the most out of the time I'm at the hospital has assured me as well.

Well, so far so good. I think this Christmas will be a different Christmas and I better get ready as I officially start another colorful phase of my journey!
