Supernatural Birth By Jackie Mize

Read On.. This is funny...

Genesis 3:16-17
King James Version

16Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

17And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;

If Eve's curse literally does mean that she will have severe pain with each conception and each birth of a baby, then it would have to mean that Adam and men must have severe pain each time they eat a meal. We know that isn't true.

I just pray that when that time come, I will have enough faith to drive out all fear and believe in Christ for a fast and painless delivery.

Me & My Belly @ 38Wks & 3 Days

This is the current me. Thank God I do not have any stretch marks and I pray that they will not miraculously appear after delivery. I do not have much of the pregnancy symptoms that I have read so much about. No water retention, no stretchmarks, no difficulty in sleeping, no pregnancy mood swings. My backache have gone and my constipation have also subsided. And I thank my care cell members for all their prayers for me. Without the prayers that they have showered on me, I do not think that my pregnancy will be as easy.

I also thank God for having such supportive colleagues. All of them are very thoughtful and very helpful during my pregnancy stage. I must thank one of them specially, Faith Huang who have gone thru many troubles to get a book for me called "Supernatural Childbirth" by Jackie Mize. It speaks of God's promise concerning Conception and Delivery and I am very much encouraged by it.

My Diaper Bag

I bought this coach bag from Macys few weeks back and I finally receive it. Fully paid for by my dearest hubby. He bought it for me for my everyday use.. But I decided to use it as a diaper bag..

Start Of a Long Tiring Leave

Today is my first day of my maternity leave.. Better rest as much as I can before the baby come out.. Looking at what other mummies says, they don't even have the time to warm their chair before they need to attend to their baby.
