thank You LORD!

When GOD grants your heart's desires, it's a confirmation that your prayers are in line with HIS will... what an amazing feeling!


It was July 18, 2011 when me and my husband happily confirmed that I am pregnant.  Ever since, family and friends have been asking us what do we like as our first born, a boy or a girl? and my answer has always been... "a healthy baby. but if i have a say, I want a boy".


Last Saturday, October 22, 2011, the doctor confirmed that it's a boy! nante and i were beaming with joy! what a wonderful feeling for our heart's desires to be granted...


And as the doctor explained to us the details of the congenital anomaly scan results, i can't help but whisper a "thank You Lord" for every information she gave...


brain distribution and development is normal --- thank You LORD!
your baby is not blind --- thank You LORD!
nose and palate, normal, no cleft --- thank You LORD!
heart development and location, normal, BPM 154 --- thank You LORD!
internal organs, normal and developing well --- thank You LORD!
spine, normal --- thank You LORD!
arms and legs, normal --- thank You LORD!
fingers and toes, complete ---thank You LORD!
gender, male --- thank You LORD!!!


yes, it was an  exhilarating experience and feeling. The gender of the baby was actually a bonus.  Knowing it was healthy and safe inside me was more than enough for me and my husband.  We clung to every bit of information that the doctor was narrating.  She looked a bit bored and uninterested, but it was more than music to me and nante's ears.


the last information that the doctor explained was that i have a low lying placenta which makes me prone to bleeding.  I can't be tired nor stressed. I should not walk nor stand too long.  I should always be slow in all my movements.  This didn't wipe the grins in our faces (well it did a little on nante's face, but not mine, hehe!).  My baby is healthy and safe --- thank You LORD!
