Does Daddy get angry with you?

2009-07-04T06:22:00.000-07:00

Dearest Josiah,

Daddy had an interesting thought while babysitting you tonight. Of course it all started with you making daddy mad for refusing to stay within your bed area. Daddy got really angry for a while, but the anger was immediately vanished the moment you gave Daddy's tummy a tuck..Honestly, you are much a better boy compared to daddy when I was your age..(at least this is what Yeh Yeh said)

I had a flash back of my own life for a moment. Growing up from a young boy to a married man. Making my daddy (Yeh yeh) angry would probably be a countless events to be recorded. Instances where I broke the living room cabinet glass with a basketball at 9, running across the road without permission to buy ice packs, instigating my younger brother to steal from the provision shops are just some which deeply impressed in my heart. Of course, all these ended off with a painful consequences of countless cane marks on Daddy's buttock. Sometimes, I think Yeh Yeh don't love me and all he does is to get angry with me in whatever things I do. But little did I realize all these events broke Yeh Yeh's heart.

Does Daddy get angry? Of course!!! Does Daddy get angry for long? As long as I can remember for my life...Yeh Yeh never got angry with me more than a day.. Does Yeh Yeh remember my wrong doing. I don't think so..as much as he forgives..he forgets..That's how Father's love is all about isn't it? We try to put on a strong front, stern, firm, strict and sometimes harsh. But deep down within our heart there seems to be no memory tank for the wrong doing of our child. Only good ones are kept there. I think that's so about Father God. Does He gets angry or does He feels angry for a long time or does He remembers them?? Well..My last check with the bible..its still says the same thing.."He forgives us and remember not our trespasses.."

Don't have a wrong impression of Dad. I love you with all my heart. When I correct you..It's not that I don't love you. It just that I love you too much...

Daddy (senior secretary) and Josiah (the boss) at work.

Hi Josiah,

Daddy has been experiencing a very stressful period in my life having to juggle with many things. Daddy fell sick last week and had high fever running through for the last few days but now I am feeling much better already. Not able to carry and smell you for the last few days was really a torture for me.

This evening, Daddy felt so loved to have you fell asleep right in my arms. Though it took us almost an hour to get you to lala land. It felt so good and I am not sure how to explain that feeling.

Daddy is so proud of you that you have learn so many things. We love you to teach us how to play 'badminton', how a cat will 'meow', how to sing 'God is so good' with your famous hand movements. Now you are already learning how to walk your first few steps, Daddy has always been observing your progress. I feel so proud every time I see you take that little step. Though you end up falling most of the time. Daddy know each fall will make you stronger and wiser. I am quite sure it's just matter of weeks before you take off with your little feet everywhere in the house. You can do it!!

Together let's wait for the arrival of Mei Mei, Joey. It just another 50 days before the arrival of mei mei. Let's pray for her safe arrival!!

Josiah and Joey are the best gift that God has given to Daddy and Mummy. Just tell us how much God trust and love us in entrusting these beautiful lives to us. Daddy and Mummy love you!

My Learning Journey with Daddy & Mummy

2009-05-05T08:42:00.000-07:00

Dearest Uncles and Aunties,

It has almost more than a month since my last posting. I am so excited to share with all of you all the things that I have learnt. Mummy taught me twinkle twinkle little star song with some simple dance move. I managed to learn them really quickly. Though I am still learning how to shake my buttock..I have mastered the hand and finger movement. If you happen to see me around, please sing for me this song and I will show you my dance...hee hee.

Daddy and Mummy have been talking to me about mei mei and say that mei mei will join me very soon. I am so looking forward to have mei mei with me so that I can share my toys with her. I received so many toys during my 1st birthday bash. Thank You Uncle and Aunties!!! I got 3 barney(s) and I intend to give the largest one to her when she comes home to live with us.

Daddy and Mummy, my bed seems to be too short for my legs already..Can I have a bigger bed? I don't mind giving my bed to mei mei cause I want a new one...ha ha..

Anyway I hope you like the picture I posted here. The picture doesn't just show that I am cute..It shows I am a very happy child!!!

God Bless and have a great week.

Love you

Josiah Pok

I am turning 1 soon!!!

2009-04-04T19:51:00.001-07:00

Dearest Uncles and Aunties,

I am turning 1 in exactly 9 days time!! How time flies...Daddy told me that I will be a toddler soon and no longer a baby. Should I get daddy to make me a new web page since this is "babypok blog"?? I think my mei mei can start using this blog soon to post her pictures. I will have a pretty mei mei and I can't wait to share with her my biscuits.

O o o By the way, I will be having my first birthday bash next week at a resort. I don't know where is it..but if you can come, please contact my daddy for details...don't forget my present.

Don't you think that I look good in that photo. Daddy wants me to be his shop model so I have no choice...but I think I certainly look cool in the picture...(btw, the apple is fake cause I tried bitting it)

Alright, I will sign off here. See you at my party and I love all of you..See ya

'Kodak' moments with Josiah

2009-03-02T07:52:00.000-08:00

Dearest Josiah,

This evening, daddy hid in one corner of your room and observed you playing by yourself. You were so focused in picking up alphabet cubes with your clumsy little fingers and putting them right into your mouth. You caught daddy looking at you; gave me a cheeky smile and went back to your toys. I whispered to mummy "how I wish you remain this way forever" but of course you will grow up to be a fine young man!!

I think I have begin to understand fatherhood in a whole new level today. I begin to understand Father God even more. I understood why God wants an eternal relationship with us. Every moment are "Kodak moments" that can never be erase from our memory. The frustration, cries, laughter, smile, baby talks, little finger touch, army crawls, your attempt to imitate us "ha"; your abilities to learn new tricks like waving are all "Kodak moments" that daddy and mummy will never forget. Each time we see you attempting something new and achieving it. There is an unspeakable joy in our hearts. Daddy don't want to miss the opportunity to see you grow up. Daddy and Mummy promise that we will do our best to be with you in every phase of your growing up journey.Its too precious to miss. How long more can daddy have the chance to change your diapers, bath you in your small tubby, feed you through your bottles? Daddy will treasure these moments...

Josiah, Daddy and Mummy love you.

I Got My Toy Car Car!!!

2009-01-29T19:10:00.000-08:00

Dearest all,

I GOT MY TOY CAR CAR!! It's not a dream. Daddy told me that if I pray to God, He will answer my prayer so I ask God for my 1st Toy Car Car. He didn't just give me one but 4 cars. I think God is a good daddy too..He knows how to surprise me beyond my expectation. Daddy also recently bought me a fish tank with 6 red fish. Everyday, we will count the fish together cause I think Daddy is afraid that the fish will disappear. He make me count them everyday. Daddy, we still have 6 fish..

I got a BIG NEWS to tell everyone but daddy and mummy say that I must keep my silence until a right time, not sure why?? But I am very excited and happy cause daddy told me that I am going to have a playmate soon. How long do I have to wait....

Daddy & Mummy, does that mean that I have to share my car car too?

Josiah Pok

Mama, Papa or Kaka (Josiah's first words..)

2009-01-03T07:13:00.001-08:00

Dearest Uncles and Aunties,

I have finally learnt my first vocabulary and it's called "Ka".. Though it's my first word, it means everything I want to say. Every time I am happy, I will go "Ka" "Ka" "Ka" the happier I am the louder my "Ka" will be. Not sure why Daddy and Mummy laugh so much every time I do that.

I am coming to 9 months very soon. Every single day has been an amazing experience with my family. There is no better place than to sit on my daddy's lap and have him to feed me with water and apples. And of course, mummy's laughter and expression never fail to put a smile on my face. Recently, my 2 front bottom teeth appeared and I gave daddy a big bite while he was playing with me. I am so sorry daddy...but it feels good giving you a "bite" ...Mummy also agree..

Daddy and Mummy, trust me that I am trying my best to learn how to call you but meanwhile please settle with "ka" it really means "I love You"

"ka" "ka"

Mummy, I have a question...

2008-10-08T01:02:00.000-07:00

Dearest Mummy,

Few nights ago, I was asking God to show me who He was and how much He loves me. God kept quiet for a while and He showed me a picture of you and me taken together. Then he said 'just see how much your mummy loves you and mutiply it by 10 times.' I have not learn maths yet so I asked God to tell me more. He laughed and said "I love you so much that I will give you anything that you ask." 'Wow" I told God: "I want to have my first toy car" then suddenly I was woken up by your voice..."It's milk milk time"...

Mummy, do you think God will give me the toy car? I have not finish my conversation with him yet...

Josiah

I am backed!! Sorry Daddy was just too busy with me...

2008-09-30T05:24:00.000-07:00

Dear Uncles and Aunties,

So sorry to keep everyone waiting for my latest post....I was just too busy having a great time with Daddy! As you can see from my expression I am learning to say 'hi' to all of you..Its just matter of time before I can give you a flying kiss...muak muak muak!!!

I have been such a good boy to daddy and mummy (that's what they say..) Never make parenting as difficult as described by all those books and TV show daddy and mummy are watching. Daddy and mummy seems to be addicted to my smell...they keep smelling me when they are back home...but I love it too...Daddy's 'bawu' smells great...heehee.

I am turning 6 months in 2 weeks time. Everything is going on really well except that I had a little flu last week but doctor told me it's ok once I take my medicines. So I never cry when I take the medicines..I know it's for my good. I love it when mummy praises me "good boy" after that.

I want to tell the world and all of you...I have a happy family..Daddy sing this song by Barney to me almost everyday and he can sing it for many many times (he is a great singer but I wonder if he should start learning another song soon..) BUT I never get bored listening to daddy.

Please let me know that you love me by writing to me. I will love to talk to you soon. Recently, I have been observing how you adults speak...my turn to speak is coming SOON!!..heehee..

Have a great week everyone!!!

Fatherhood

2008-05-28T04:52:00.000-07:00

Grandfather, Father & Son

Dearest Josiah,

Wow...look at how much you have grown. I am so thankful that you are growing so healthily and giving us a wonderful time caring for you. Well Josiah, do not think that you are only 6 weeks old and you can't teach daddy and mummy any lesson in life. Daddy learnt so much from you over this period and more than that, you make me realised who God is and His love for us.

Do you know that there was a night you were crying and feeling uncomfortable, Daddy was so so exhausted and really had no energy to carry you, I picked you up gently and placed you on my chest. Immediately, as you heard my heartbeat and felt my warm breath, you quieten down and fell into a peaceful sleep. Daddy was so moved at that moment.

I don't think I am a perfect dad, but I know no matter how tired or busy I can be, when you cry out for me, my immediate response is YOU! I think that is how God is to us. Very often, just like you, as we cry out our heart, and think who will come to our help; immediately, God responses. Fatherhood is His nature and His nature is fatherhood. How often do we realise that the moment we "cry out" to Him, we are actually already in His arms, leaning on His chest, His heartbeat comforts us, His breathe tells us He is with us.

Daddy brought you out for the very 1st time 2 week ago. As I carry you in my arms, I was so proud to show you to all the uncles and aunties. "SEE MY SON!!" That very moment, a strong thought struck my mind...once again, we serve a God that loves to parade us. WE ARE HIS PRECIOUS CHILDREN!! What an awesome encouragement that can be!!

Think about this, why can't we call God "Uncle", "Sir" "Mister" and etc. The reason lies in a relationship no other word can replace and that is Abba Father.

Josiah, if people ask me what is the greatest calling a man can possess, I will undeniably say it is Fatherhood

Josiah, Daddy & Mummy love you.

Celebrating My Full Month

Daddy' & Mummy precious Josiah

2008-04-17T19:59:00.000-07:00

Dear Josiah,

I want to pen down my thoughts in your blog this morning because the feeling of having you around is too awesome. Many uncles and aunties asked me how I felt when I first saw you and having you around in my arms. To be honest, it's just to much for me to express through any words.

It was an amazing feeling when we had our 1st father and son session this morning "sun bathing" together. I had a picture of you taken in a very cool pose..ha...Yesterday night was also your first night with us and you really make mummy worked very hard. We woke up almost every hour to feed you and change you. I guessed its tough and tiring but seeing you sound asleep each time literally took away our stress and anxiety.

There are many thing God can give us in our lifetime but it is till this moment, I realised that the greatest of all that he can give us beside His love through Jesus is a child. I was talking to mummy yesterday night that I could not fully understand the love of God to me till I am became a father myself. And of course, if the bible says that "even an earthly father can give their children what they need, how much more is our heavenly Father."

Looking forward to spend many days together. We may not be perfect parents but we want to be parents who can demostrate the perfect love of God in your life.

Josiah, Daddy and Mummy love you.

2008-04-11T23:27:00.000-07:00

Hi Josiah,

Finally you are all ready to come into this world. This afternoon, Daddy and Mummy visited Dr Tan to see your progress and we are so thrill to know that you are in "position" to come out soon! Mummy is already 2 cm dilated and has been getting false contraction for the last 2 weeks. All the discomfort is for the preparation of your arrival. Are you feeling really comfortable in Mummy's womb?

Daddy and mummy got your bed all fixed up, its just right in front of our own bed. Every night, we will stare into the empty bed and allow our imagination to run wild; seeing you there and hearing your cries for our attention. Josiah, its not too long before our imagination will turn into a reality. Do you know we have been waiting so long for this day...

Dr Tan says that you can come out any time and you weigh over 3kg now, all ready to pop out! We have been trying to guess when is your birthday but i think we are going to leave it all to you when you want your birthday to be. Daddy and Mummy will continue to wait patiently..maybe the next time I write to you will be the time you are right in my arms...

Josiah, Daddy and Mummy love you.

Baby Josiah 34th Week

2008-03-24T08:03:00.000-07:00

Dear Josiah,

Daddy has not been writing to you for a long while but I know you have been listening to our voices. Can you recognise daddy's voice? Daddy also gets the chance to touch you as you push and shove your way in mummy’s belly. Sometimes, I see your little fist and feet bulging from Mummy’s belly when you move. Is it very cramp inside there? Don't worry k, you are coming out soon. Mummy has been feeling a lot of discomfort especially as you get bigger now. Last 2 weeks, daddy went for a short working trip and Daddy was thinking of you and mummy while I was there. I got you a nice green giraffe to add to your safari theme room.

Daddy and Mummy packed the room last night and washed all your clothing. Mummy took quite a while to fold all the clothes into your new cabinet and they smell so nice. We can’t wait to put on these tiny clothes on you.

Mummy has been feeling a lot of discomfort recently especially as you get bigger each day. You weigh about 2.5kg now and growing bigger each day. I guessed it’s through all these, the bonding of a mother and child relationship is so special and close. The joy of having you exceeds the pain and discomfort mummy is going through. Give mummy a smooth and fast delivery k? We will be cheering for you.. We are counting down every single minute. 38 more days to the arrival of a history maker!!

Josiah, Daddy and Mummy love you.

Baby Josiah 30th Week

2008-02-19T22:37:00.000-08:00

Dear Josiah,

Daddy has not been writing to you for quite a while but I am sure you are having a great time "playing" with Daddy and Mummy. I was so fascinated last night when I saw you moving vigorously in mummy's womb whenever I called your name. Daddy has also been busy setting up your room with Auntie Carol, auntie Wen Shan and many other uncles and aunties who came to help daddy and mummy. Uncles and Aunties took a lot of effort to do up the room for you. We painted many cute animals and the whole picture is a replica of "Noah Ark" , that is a nice bible story daddy will read to you when you are born. Auntie Carol drew the sharks that look like they are smiling; the zebras and the chubby Koalas were very cute too. When you grow up, you got to say a big thank you to them for making your room so beautiful!

Daddy also read a book "playing with your new born". The more I read, the more I look forward to your arrival. Daddy and Mummy bought you some nice Disney clothes and bath set. Auntie Yah Lan also bought you a nice bath tub for you to "swim" in haha... So many people are doting you already even before your arrival, I am sure you will be a very blessed boy!

Recently, I read a verse from Psa 127:3 and it says “Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from him. I thank God that He has given you to our lives. Indeed, a very precious reward!!

71 more days to go and Daddy and Mummy's hearts are filled with anticipation to receive this reward from God. Grow well and Grow strong darling!

Josiah, Daddy and Mummy love you.

Baby Josiah 25th Week

2008-01-19T21:48:00.000-08:00

Dear Josiah,

Daddy and Mummy attended our ever first Antenatal class to learn about you last Thursday. It was so exciting to see so many parents gathering together to learn how to take care of their little ones when they are born. The class teacher was very professional and experience as she shared with us many things. She made me put on a funny ' belly suit' that will allow me to experience how mummy feels when she carry you. Now I know it's certainly a big, big sacrifice and hard work for mummy and not to mention the other effects of pregnancy. When you grow up, please really treasure and love mummy k!

The teacher taught me the steps to communicate with you by gently massaging Mummy's belly. 4 very easy steps and you will respond to me. It was an awesome experience and I kept doing it when we were back home. You won't believe how I must have felt as you responded to my touch each time. Josiah, it's only 3 more months and the threesome family life starts in this house. Daddy, mummy and Josiah.

Josiah, Daddy and Mummy love you.

Baby Josiah 22nd week

2007-12-28T07:51:00.000-08:00

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.

2007-12-17T06:57:00.000-08:00

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

2007-12-05T08:53:00.000-08:00

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)

2007-11-23T21:39:00.000-08:00

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....

2007-11-09T07:08:00.000-08:00

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)

2007-10-29T07:38:00.000-07:00

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)

2007-10-10T01:56:00.000-07:00

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)

2007-10-04T22:48:00.000-07:00

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)

2007-09-21T22:40:00.000-07:00

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)

2007-09-21T22:31:00.000-07:00

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)

2007-09-21T22:15:00.000-07:00

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

2007-09-21T22:06:00.001-07:00

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...
