Our baby Grace is now 5 months 5 days old. Time flies. It is like yesterday that she was born. Before her arrival (the arrival of her majesty Grace- my little Princess), I told God, God, please give me a baby that is easy to take care of. As you know, I don't know how to take care of baby, and if you give me a difficult baby, it's hard for me to go back to teach in the sunday school. So, Please, give me a good baby. And, sure enough, God is faithful. I'm so thankful that my girl girl is a quiet and good baby. She seldom cries (unless she is not feeling well), she is easy to be entertained, sometimes i just put her on the bed she would just play on her own and fell asleep, and she is soooooooo cute ( yes yes, i know, all parents says their baby is the cutest when their babies are actually very ugly) hahahaa.. i used to rank no. 2 in my husband's heart. (No. 1 belongs to God) now, no. 2 belongs to both Amber and Grace. but i really don't mind. i guess the feeling is mutual. hahaa..
We had hard time taking care oof her, learning how to take care of her, and my huusband even have to pray to God for me to be good in taking care of baby as i totally sucked in this. She had oral thrush as my confinement lady didn't sterilize her bottles, and her buttock was scratched bcos the confinement lady was too rough in wiping her small little buttock, you must be thinking that she tried to wipe it so clean that's why? no, i saw with my own eyes she proceed to wrap the diaper while there was still shit on her buttock !! Dirty confinement lady ... anyway , that's another story .. and she had jaundice, and she had the yeast from oral thrush at her bottom for weeks. The oral thrsh was especially annoying and heart aching which happened repeatedly in her mouth. I just found out recently it was due to the antibiotic i took as I had fever during delivery. Even with all these, she didn't complain much, she wasn't too difficult. How could i complaint having such a baby?
I applied 4 months leave with God. Now it's time for me to go back to teach in Sunday School. God is so great and nice and wonderful to me, how could i stop serving Him ? I hope i 'd not give all kind of excuses to stop serving Him. The first week, Thomas do not have church visitation activity so he took care of Grace and i went teaching. 2nd week, school had replacement so there was no sunday school. last week, Thomas got to apply leave and didn't go for visitation as we've no idea who can help to take care of Grace. But, Sister Mary came to my mind, i remembered her saying it's good to have baby at her place some times. But How could we even ask for this favour from her? We prayed to God saying, God, We've sure you would prepare someone for us since we're going to serve you and let us know if it's Sister Mary. so, we went to visit her with Grace last saturday. The first sentence she said when she sees us was, ' ohhhhhh I was wondering when are u going to bring the baby over for me to take care' .. I can't believe what I heard! We've not even asked. and yes, today I'll be bringing Grace to Sister Mary while I teach at Sunday School. We'll see how it goes. God is Great isn't it. Yes. He's is such a great friend to have.
