The impending incoming of Gael

Another hi-lite of 2010 was the pregnancy of Mel for our 2nd child. Due to our domestic crisis, her pregnancy brings additional burden on us, initially for me. But as months past by and the baby bump became very visible, I started to realised that this baby is special and unique. She brings joy, forgiveness and reconciliation to the family.

With her, we have change of hearts, our hearts soften,  self want started to die and family needs started to take place and took over. God brings hope to us thru Gael.

And our Gabby were pretty excited on the pregnancy as well. We could see and sense that she was looking forward to be a big sister. When we asked her what she would like to be called by her lil sister, her answer was “Princess Che Che Gabby!”…hahahaha….

To get her excited, we also asked her what name she wants to name her lil sister and her reply was….”Jesus!”…..

We also took her when we had our regular checkup with our doctor. And our gyne, Mr Dev adores her so much and has become her friend. When Mel was lying on the bed for the doc. to check on the baby, she would just stand in front of him and and he would allow her to help out little bit…like taking out the photos taken with the ultrasound machine.

The pregnancy was smooth, no issue with Mel in regards to work and so on. Mel was able to work till the last week of her pregnancy.. No issue at all…

The Year 2010

The year 2010 started just like how 2009 ended,mandane, predictable and routine. Day in day out, week after week, our life revolve around Gabby. All our energy, time and effort were and still are, are poured on her. What we didn't realised was that our relationship has driven so far apart that for sure something going to happen. True enough,we had arguments after arguments, even though we sleep on the same bed, nothing happened. We were merely sleeping.

One stupid thing that i did was i brought a 3rd party into our life. For more than half a year, chaos, anger, disappointment, broken heart and lots of tears punchered our life.

My regret of my doing knows no limit. And my doing cannot be undone. But thank God for His grace and mercy upon my life especially. He uses friends to speak sense and peace to us. Friends that truly concerns and care for us. Without them, we'll not be here together.

We reconciled and took the first step to heal our relationship for our sake, for our children's sake. I mentioned children because in July 2010 Mel conceived a 2nd baby for us. And for us, this baby is special, really special as she influenced my decision tremendously.

Now my only aim was to gain back the family and ensure that we stayed together. I really thank God for His Amazing Grace towards us. We went for a few holidays together as a family in an attempt to reconcile. So much hurt and broken heart I have caused to her and I thank God for His strength upon her and her belief in me.

We are on the way to recovery. We are on the way.. And we still need Him to guide us and for His grace and mercy to be continuously showered upon us.

Since my last post....

 

Since my last post back in July 09, many things, events and incidents occurred in my life and those closest to me. Much if not most of all these occurrences brings impact to my life and those closest and dearest....

My Gabby has grown into a young and confident pre-schooler. Her understanding of what's going on around her life and her command of vocabulary really astound and amaze me in particular. Her energy knows no limit and her excitement brings the atmosphere up wherever she goes. She is much beloved by all of us,the family and also strangers. But the downside of this is that her stubbornness and emotions are little on the upside as well. Control of her emotions especially her agitation and her burst of temper when she didn't get what she wants we must...

As a whole, my Gabby is just a normal child who are living out her life and who are still learning the trade of being a child. And i believe we as parents has the responsibility to nurture and guide her.Her failure to adjust and adapt means its our failure to be a responsible parents for her.

During these 2 years, Gabby especially has been blessed tremendously in all things. We were also blessed in that we were able to go for holidays in Singapore and Melbourne.  And we pray that the blessing continues on for the whole family for many many years to come. As we devote our time and efforts to Gabby, we are encouraged by her progress.

Last year in July 2010, we received news that we are going to have an addition to the family. And later our gyne, Mr Dev confirmed to us that Gabby is going have a baby sister. The pregnancy went well, mommy was still able to work without any hindrances up until the last week of her pregnancy. Blessings be to God for the strength and peace and grace upon our life during this time. Our youngest daughter Abigael Ch’ng Qing was born on 20th March 2011 . Today is her 2nd month’s birthday.

A blog will not be able to summarize and depicts the 2 years of our life but i hope that I could continue to preserve on in journaling our life with Gabby and Abigael and my dear wife, Mel.
