My initial thought to list down things which are helpful. That&#8217;s to past down the experience to other people who might go through the same path.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s definitely a lot of books already about pregnancy, childbirth, and raising up children. Some are really good and helpful. Others just of not much use.<\/p>\n<p>Today, our daughter turn 20 days. She&#8217;s been a great joy to the family. And i simply thankful for the fact there are so many friends who love us and support us. The baby needs are just plenty, and somehow, God provides for each of the things she need&#8230;somehow.<\/p>\n<p>And how i am very thankful that the Lord answered our prayers. For a healthy and normal child. I can&#8217;t stop giving thanks for that.<\/p>\n<p>This afternoon, as I was looking after her&#8230;there&#8217;s not much things she can do or i can do with her beside carrying her in the house. So i burst into songs praising God. What a wonderful experience&#8230;a pure joy of praising God while holding to his precious gift.<\/p>\n<p>For every single friend out there, thank you very much for your love, support, and prayers. This evening a friend also called just to check if we&#8217;re ok.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It happened earlier than expected.
