Anxious

Hi baby K! Mommy started having serious contractions around 7pm last night. It went on till midnight and we decided it was best to let the midwife take a look at you both since there was also a bit of blood. So off we went in the middle of the night and arrived at the hospital around 12.30am. The midwife did some tests, and both of you are in good health, but mommy only dilated 2cm and were sent back, reaching home at 2.30am. It started to snow a bit as we walked up our apartment and somehow I got a feeling that the day the snow comes again, it will be the day you'll arrive.

I had a preview of how your coming will change our life when I had to wake up every 2 hours to check on mommy, or rather she woke me up to check on her and you. She couldn't sleep very well because the contraction was intensifying. In the morning, the mucus plug protecting you from the outside world came off and up to now, mommy would have had 20 hours of contraction and the amniotic sac surrounding you has yet to break. But we called the hospital and midwife who called us to come to the hospital to get you both checked again. And looking outside, it's snowing pretty heavily, so if you do come today, we want you to know you were born on a snowy Wednesday in January in Oslo.

We realize that though we prayed a lot for both of you, focusing on speedy delivery, but forgot to include in quick labor, lol. So that is something we will remember to pray for the next time. Would love to share a bit more about today, but mommy is in great pain at the moment, so do remember what mommy had to go through to bring you to this world. And now, we'll be going to the hospital, and we hope we don't have to wait too long to see you baby Karalynn!

The story of baby K

Baby K, your story is all about the journey of faith for us, your parents.

You see, we were married in 2007 but for some strange reasons we didn't decide to have kids straight away. Well, we wanted to have kids like you, just that we weren't so serious about it until your mom hit the big 3-0, and realized that her biological clock was ticking away, so we intensified our efforts. Now we will tell you what this means when you are old enough to grasp the concept. After months of trying without success, we thought it could be due to the stressful nature of your mom's job so she quit it to concentrate on "making" you. Alas, more heartbreak was in store. I, however was confident that God provides, and that the God of Abraham, who made his descendants as numerous as the stars in the skies and as much as the sands of the earth, though in his advanced age, could have a child bore by an old woman said to be barren - then what more that we your parents, called to be also sons and daughter of the living God, may also have children of our own in time to come.

Happy Anniversary, Darling! :)

Our 4th year together as husband and wife...

Looking back at life, I just wanna thank YOU for being there with me for the five years of courtship and the four years of marriage. We have been through so much ups and downs, knowing each other more, and we are definitely growing stronger together each day.

I thank God for you! May the Lord bless our marriage and lead us. :)

I love you.

xoxo~
