Mommy-yeoh

I am fully employed in the corporate world and "motherhood". There are times I am so worn out from my jobs, I begin to be weary and tired. I will whine and complain and will be irritated easily. I began to lose the focus on the joy that I once found and forgotten why I wanted to do what I did. Today's reading reminded me that in all I do, I do it for the Lord and not take it for granted... "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord."

Results are often not immediate. Sometime, we don't even see it! Do we do what we do so that we get the results we want? What happens when we don't see it? Will we stop doing it? Will we stop believing in what we do? Paul explained to the church in Galatia, however, that “a man reaps what he sows” (Galatians 6:7). But we must “not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest” (v. 9). Doing good isn’t the way to gain salvation, and the text doesn’t specify whether what we reap will be now or in heaven, but we can be assured that there will be “a harvest of blessing” (6:9 nlt). We may not see the results not, or may think that it's worthless. But so long as we believed what we do is right and in line with His perfect will, that is all it matters. Don't give up, because blessings will come.

This morning was unlike any other mornings. Today a thought came to me and I decided to log into my blog, while after all these years, I have completely forgotten that it ever existed. Looking back on some of the postings, brought me back down to memory lane of the things I did and the person I was. It has been years shelving this blog! Things have changed so much since. Little Princess and Baby J is no longer who they used to be. So have I. More silver lining on the hair and fine lines on the face, telling a story of how life have moved on so fast and so quick, that sometimes, I have forgotten to stop and smell the roses! Perhaps then, its time that I dust the dust off my blog once again...

Baby J is 9 months and 2 days old. And had his very first hair cut yesterday. I did a quick 'chop' of his hair while he was busy occupying himself with toys. His hair was getting a bit too long at the sides and beginning to curl a little. Some people commented that he looked like a girl! Can't say I did a fantastic job on the haircut but so long as he doesn't look like a girl is good enough for me. To me, Baby J is growing so much faster than Little Princess. I guess being busy at work and home, I don't realised how much time has passed me by. It only seems like yesterday that I was pregnant with Baby J. It wasn't an easy pregnancy. With a 4 yo on toll, it literally took my sanity away. It was filled with mood swings and morning sickness (round the clock)! I stare at the toilet 'throne' more than I stare into Daddy-yeoh's face! I felt bloated all the time and shortness of breath was a norm to me. Since Little Princess was an induced labor, I only get...

Baby J arrived early October, 18 days earlier than the due date. He weight exactly the same as Little Princess when she was born. Being 4 years older and having to juggle a newborn and a preschool kid, things were pretty rough and filled with lots of *pulling hair* moments. There is no such thing as settling in with the baby. Life becomes instantenously busy and insane. 'Me-Time' became a thing almost-impossible-to-achieve and even if I could enjoy it, it is an oh-so precious-moment! Baby J is 5 months plus and another 2 weeks or so, he will be 6. As time pass, he grow into different stages where work and more work for mommy adds on. Sounds like a complain? Perhaps :) Despite all, Baby J brings such joy to us. He hardly fuss except for milk and when he is sleepy. He loves to smile. He smiles at you when he wakes up, He smiles at you when you talk to him, He smiles at you when you sing to him, He smiles at you when you play with him, He smiles at you when you change his diaper, ...

Our baby should be due anytime now. Little Princess was early by 10 days, so we are expecting an early delivery. My doc said that he will be expecting my call anytime from now. I feel heavy and walking is almost impossible. I am not sure if I could wait till his actual delivery date which is on the 27 October. I hope that he will arrive really really SOON!

I noticed that I have more white hair growing on my head. I had that when I was pregnant with the Little Princess and it never did went away. Now with the second pregnancy, it added to the existing ones and this time more obvious than before. I was checking out the whites on my black hair in the bathroom mirror one day when I noticed how the white hair reflected in the sunlight from the window. It may sound strange, but they looked like shiny silver strings glittering away on my head. Now I understood the meaning of silver lining in every dark cloud :)
