4th Chance

It's funny how a thin little blue life can change your life in a flash, isn't it?

I'm talking about the little blue line on the home pregnancy test. Yep, I'm going to have a baby, for the 4th time! The feeling is surreal, 1 minute we were planning what we were going to do for that day, the next minute I was staring at the little blue line in disbelief.

At the moment, according to my calculations, I should be about 6 weeks into my pregnancy, which means baby would be due sometime in January next year, 2010. I'm already feeling the effects of the pregnancy, with the usual 2 hourly hunger pangs, tiredness after meals and even slight nausea. And that reminds me, I've got to start looking for maternity wear and baby paraphernalia. It's been 7 years and I've practically given away everything.

Truth be told, I'm a bit apprehensive about having a baby after 7 years, at the age of 37. But as I think about it, perhaps God sees fit that we be parents again the 4th time. Perhaps we'll be able to be better parents the 4th time around. I honestly have no idea, but I do know that through it all, may God be glorified, His will be done!
