Except I have a new title to add to my list of wife, daughter, sister. It is a title I will always always treasure and will never ever take for granted. Mummy.
Yes, from the last time I blogged in April 2013, I miraculously got pregnant and welcomed my daughter into the world in March this year.
I've been inspired to start blogging again because I want to remember all the miracles that has happened and is happening to me. I want to remember all these moments when I'm old and be able to share them with my daughter. And I want to share my story if it even inspires and encourages one person who is going through what I went through. To share that there is a God, that He listens to your cries, that He will fulfill your desires because He is a good God.
Now when I say I miraculously got pregnant, I did MIRACULOUSLY got pregnant. At the last update, I was waiting for my private healthcare provider to get back to me on whether I will be covered for the laparoscopy procedure. They replied no as I had to go through a 12 month waiting period. So whilst I was waiting for their reply, I got a job as a Business Manager in a car showroom (more on that in another post) and I started work in May. So for a few months I didn't have the time to really pursue the path of the laparoscopy and since I had to wait until November to start on IVF anyway, I just concentrated on my new job.
Shortly after I started work, sometime in July, I found myself a little confused as to when my last period was. You see, I was so sick and tired of counting the days of ovulation etc, that I just could not be bothered for the month of June/July. I was kinda busy with my new job as well. So I waited a couple of weeks to be sure that my period was indeed late before I told my husband. One fine morning (should be a Saturday as we have a video of us looking at the pregnancy test in bed), I did a pregnancy test using a home kit... and for the first time in my life... there were 2 solid lines!! We did another 3 tests just to be sure!
I wished I had recorded how I felt exactly because now it's all a bit fuzzy... but suffice to say that I was really really really really happy.
It was especially sweet because I was not taking any medication and I did not conceive her through any procedure. My baby was conceived supernaturally... despite the fact that I was 36 years old, despite the fact that I had one ovary and despite the fact that I had a small cervix.
I know without a shadow of a doubt that this is God. It has His fingerprints all over it.
For this child I prayed, and the Lord has granted me my petition which I asked of Him.
1 Samuel 1:27

HI, i chanced upon your blog because I am TTC for sometime (for no.2) and I was really happy for your little miraculous baby from God. (^-^)
I am encouraged.
I also wrote letters to my girl, and I wanna encourage you to keep writing them. It is such a joy reading them now that she has grown up. Pen down those bitter sweet memories.
