Baby Josiah 22nd week

Hi Baby Josiah ,

Daddy is so happy today because my cell group members wrote me a "song" for thanksgiving. I will get them to sing for you when you are born, they are such good singers and song writers too....haha

We met doctor Tan for the results of your detailed scan and we are so happy that you are developing so well just that you are a little "overweight". Doctor Tan say that most likely you are gaining weight because you are like "daddy"...I was a little embarrassed though. No worries, when you are ready, daddy will go "Jian Fei" with you. We will play badminton and swim together... Mummy told me that you like to eat chocolate, I was wondering how she know since you haven't really try before then I realised it was her excuse to eat more..I will confiscate all the chocolates in the fridge because you are putting on weight. When we saw you in the scan again, your face was facing us...do you know daddy and mummy were looking at you.

Daddy is going to bring mummy and baby Josiah for a trip to Hong Kong this Monday. We will visit Disneyland together. I know that you still can't see Mickey or Minnie but daddy and mummy will take a lot of photos for you. Enjoy your holiday with us...

Daddy & Mummy love you.

BabyPok 20th Week

Hi Baby Josiah,

Daddy is writing to you from the airport as I am waiting for my flight to China again. So happy to be able to see you in great "detail" this afternoon. I was almost moved to tears as I see your little toes wriggling, your little fingers moving and your jaws were moving too... Are you singing to daddy and mummy already??? We were so happy to know that you are a boy. Grandpa and grandma are all happy too. We can start decorating your room soon. What will you like your room be? Don't worry, I will make sure that it's will be a cosy, warm and a loving room where daddy and mummy will read stories for you every night before you sleep.

Daddy and Mummy decided to name you Josiah which means "Jehovah Helps". You will be a baby that will lean on the anointing and power of God. Josiah will reign like a king and love God with all his heart. Josiah, we know that when you grow up, you will live up to your name and show people who our God is. Indeed our God helps...

Waiting for the day that I can hold your little hands, wearing the same t shirt, style the same hair (like daddy's spiky hair) going out to play. I am sure we will be more that just father and son, we will be the best buddies! I got so much to teach and show you..

Josiah, please let mummy know that you love her to but giving her a gentle nudge everyday. I will be back 4 days later and then we will see each other once again!! Josiah, you are the King! You have been crowned the goodness and mercy of the Lord! Grow strong baby...

Daddy & Mummy love you...

BabyPok 19th Week

Just finishing watching "Birthday" on SCV and witness a few babies coming to this world. BabyPok, your day is soon approaching...147 more days. This week, mummy felt your movements for the very first time! Feels like bubbles, fluttering...can't describe the feeling. Are you already wanting to let us know your presence? Mummy asked daddy to place my hand on her stomach and wait for you to move. I just felt u touching my palm! The feeling was indescribable, was that a high "5" from you to daddy?

BabyPok, Daddy and Mummy are now in the midst of designing your bedroom and buying all the best things we can afford for you. We looked at the little t shirts and pants. And we just can't help imagining you wearing those soft clothing and cuddling you in our arms. Daddy is also looking for a nice "sport car" for you. When you are born, we can go out together with your "car".

Dec 17, we will see you again through a detail scan! Meanwhile, enjoy growing and make sure you let mummy know that you love her by giving her a gentle nudge each day!!!

Daddy & Mummy love you..

BabyPok 6th Scan (17th Week)

Hi BabyPok,

Daddy and Mummy went to doctor Tan for your routine check up and scan. We have been discussing about the outcome of this scan for many days..will you be a boy or girl? Even as we make our way there this morning, our hearts were beating with anticipantion. Mummy showed me a list of things that we can start buying when we know your gender. What colour would you like to have for your cot, your room, you blanky and your pillow?

When you finally came on the screen this morning, my heart almost froze...you have grown so much darling...We saw your well-grown spine, hands, legs and head there was even skin and fats forming on your limbs. You weight about 200 grams now. Did you know that daddy and mummy were looking at you or were you as excited as us? Through out the scan you were jumping, stretching and moving around mummy's womb. You look liked a really happy baby!

We tried to "spot" your gender but you were not in the "right" position for us to see... Doctor Tan had to get you to face us by pressing mummy's womb many times. and for a split second we saw something little"bulging" out...hee hee. Welcome to our world BabyPok. We are thinking of your name now. Marcus? Josiah? Joshua? ...Which one do you like?

Mummy says that I can bring you for swimming when you are ready to learn but I guessed you are now already swimming like a CHAMPION in mummy's womb. 加油宝宝，你会是个可爱，聪明的宝宝！！

Daddy & Mummy love you....

Hi BabyPok, Daddy and Mummy have been thinking of you so much these few days. Today, we visited the medical center that Mummy will be staying when she deliver you. We were introduced to the different wards, facilities and our imagination went "wild" when we had a glimpse of the baby ward. I was thinking of you lying on the soft small bed, cuddling in the soft white towel. The medical center is filled with "LIFE".We saw many new parents with us on the tour today. Daddy also saw a few mummies discharging from the center with their newborn in their arms. I can't wait to have you in my arms. Mummy told me it's still 5 more months to go but daddy is already counting down every single day to your arrival.

I was asking myself what would I want to see my child be when you grow up. I think my answer is that you will be a happy person and someone God will mightily use, most importantly obedience to His calling. Daddy didn't do well in my studies when I was young, lost many opportunities and failed a number of times. If God can lift me up again and again, leads me into my calling and serve Him, I can't imagine what He can do with a family who is dedicated to love Him.

Can you listen to the songs that is played on your blog? This will be the first song that I will teach you when you learn how to sing. It goes.. "Yes Jesus loves me, for the bible tells me so..."

BabyPok, God loves you very very much

Daddy & Mummy love you too..

BabyPok 5th Scan (13th Week)

Dear BabyPok,

It feels so good to see you growing each time mummy goes for her appointment. This time when you appeared on the screen, we saw you leaping and jumping!! Are you very excited to see us too? Your limbs were so defined and we saw your little fingers...you actually waved at us a few times. Doctor Tan tried to figure out your gender by doing a side scan but you crossed your legs. Not the time to reveal your gender to us right!? It was really funny, Doctor Tan tried to make you "bounce" a few times by pressing mummy's womb but you simply refuse to open up your legs..Whether you are boy or girl, Daddy loves you the same!

Mummy has been vomiting and feeling nausea a few times this week. Hopefully, the morning sickness will go away soon. Mummy is at the 2nd trimester of the pregnancy now..please make mummy comfy for the remaining weeks k? Cant wait to see you 4 weeks later, by then we should be able to see your gender. Do grow well and strong. Daddy and Mummy will be praying for you everyday.

Daddy & Mummy love you...

BabyPok 4th Scan (11th Week)

Dear BabyPok,

Daddy and Mummy went to see Dr Tan for your progress today! Daddy was really anxious to see how much you have grown since our last visit. The journey to the clinic seems so long. I have been reading about the progress of a fetus and can't wait to see you again on the screen.

God is so good to us! When you appear on the screen, I saw you "waving" at us! You were also kicking away.. I guess you are as excited as us! We saw your limbs for the very first time. Those tiny fingers and toes were so visible to us.I saw the hands that I will hold, legs that will walk with me when you come to this world... You have grown so much. You are about 4.39cm long now.

Dr Tan was trying to see if you are boy or girl. We saw something "protruding" but its still too early to confirm..

加油 BabyPok!! Daddy and Mummy are cheering and praying for you. 2 weeks time, I will be seeing you again.

Daddy & Mummy love you..

BabyPok (10th Week)

Hello Baby, how have you been growing? Yesterday was your 10th week!! Daddy and Mummy have been waiting enthusiastically for your next scan. It will be scheduled on the 15th October and it seems so long before we can get to see you.

Mummy has been feeling "bloated" for many days but she still can eat quite a lot of food. I just cooked her macaroni soup last night. Did you manage to taste it?

Mummy don't allow me to tell you stories cause she doesn't like the 3 brothers story but it's my favorite! Your grand daddy used to tell me this story many times when I was a young boy. When you are born, I will share with you again!

Please grow well and I know God is protecting you!!

Daddy & Mummy love you...

BabyPok 3rd Scan (8th Week)

Dear BabyPok,

You are at your 8th week, 2nd day as we visited Dr Tan again at the clinic.

Daddy and Mummy arrived at the clinic at about 930am and Mummy had her first external scan today. Dr Tan put some "jelly" liked gel on Mummy's stomach and we saw you again on the screen!!

Dr Tan praised you and said that you are a good (guai) baby. You are growing really fast; grown 4 times larger compared to your last scan. Your "swimming pool" also got bigger! You are about 1.74cm big now. We saw your head and also your heart beat. I thought I could see your limbs but doctor told us to wait a few more weeks before your limbs will be visible to us. Can't wait to see those limbs that will do many wonderful things for the Lord..

You are a good baby, Mummy is not having too much difficulty having you, most pregnant mummies will feel nausea or puke but Mummy only get a little bloated stomach but her appetite definitely increased! Keep it this way, let mummy enjoys the process of having you...

We are going to see you again in 3 weeks time. Hopefully by then, we can see you "waving" at us with your little hands!!

Daddy & Mummy love you..

BabyPok 2nd Scan (6th Week)

Dear BabyPok,

Daddy can finally be around for the 2nd routine check up. On the 18th Sept, Saturday, We were all so anxious because we were told that maybe we will be able to see your little heart beating..

Daddy witnessed this life beating in Mummy's womb for the very first time. Your heart is beating at about 130+ beats per min. That's very fast. But Daddy's heart is beating that fast too. My heart was filled with tremendous joy and excitement that cannot be described..

Can you see yourself in the picture? That you!!! You are only about 37mm long. That's the size of a sesame seed. So small, but yet so precious to Daddy and Mummy.

In that scan, I saw the birth of life....I saw the creation of God... I saw the gift of God to us...

Daddy and Mummy love you..

BabyPok 1st Scan (5th Week)

Dear BabyPok,

We entrust you fully to God. You are just like Mummy. You have a spirit that never gives up and like Daddy, keeps growing stronger and "bigger"

Dr Geraldine Tan from Thomson Medical Center will be the one bringing you to this world! Well, Daddy was looking for someone who can handle you and found her through the web. I guess it was God's leading though. We are very comfortable with her and she is very encouraging. Since it's our first time as parents, we are definitely anxious about your progress everyday...

Daddy missed your first scan cause I was scheduled to arrive back in Singapore on the 1st Sept 07, Saturday night. Your had the first scan on that day too, in the morning. Grand Daddy and Mummies were there to cheer for you.

Can you see you little "swimming pool"? It will be your home for the next 8 months...We can't see you yet...but it will be just another 1 week before we see your little heart beating..

Daddy and Mummy love you..

Discovery of you

Dear BabyPok,

Daddy & Mummy discovered you on the very day that Daddy has to leave for China for a business trip. When Mummy shouted for me at the toilet on the 23th August, Thursday @ about 11pm. My heart almost jump out!! I leaped with joy but we were so uncertain because the pregnancy kit test result was so vague...

The next day, Mummy took a day off to see the doctor at the polyclinic and they confirmed your existence. We were so happy but at the same time anxious because the doctor says you might be growing outside the womb, so we rush off to KK hospital for a scan...

God watches you from the beginning, everything was ok!! We finally felt better just 3 hours before my flight. Daddy prayed and laid hands on you before I left the house. I remembered shouting.."Life, Life Life..." haha

Daddy and Mummy love you...

POK Papa & Mama big day
