Truly thankful

It's a blessing to have another new bundle of joy coming into our family. I am really relieved that the test result is positive after so many sleepless nights. Too many things happened during the first quarter of the year. I nearly brokedown and I kept telling myself to be strong. This year was not a rosy year for me when I didn't receive my bonus and increment. A double whammy for me when my gynae told me to go for the Amniotic fluid test as the Down syndrom risk was pretty high, 1:15. I was devastated and I admitted I was also very scared. I get agitated very easily and eyes were often tearful. I tried to control my emotions whenever someone asked me how is everything. I wished I could tell them that I am ok but actually deep inside I am not. I was taken by surprise when my cousin, WanShan revealed to me that she was told by her gynae to go for the amniotic fluid too during her second pregnancy. I was not told to go for the fluid test during my first 2 pregnancy, probably one of the reasons was that I didn't opt for the blood test.

I am really grateful that everything turns out well. My heart really skipped a beat when the clinic called. I was really relieved and happy that I could keep this child. I am also grateful to those who had prayed for me and comforted me in my dumps. I am glad I still have so many friends standing by me. Really thankful from the bottom of my heart.
