Yesterday Facebook reminded me about a picture I put six years before. Our little girl (Joann, Jo) when she was five months old lying on her stomach with wreathed smiling at me with her milk chocolate, luminous, glowing, magnetic eyes. Every time I see them smiling at me I think "ohh God, thank you so much for having given two healthy and happy kids to us"
When I was looking at Jo's photo yesterday, I strolled down memory lane with her pregnancy time. Right after our third wedding anniversary, I got pregnant with our first baby, and that was the one the happiest day in my life. After that, every day we all did everything to make sure to give birth to a healthy happy baby. On October 30th our first little angel came to our World. And as a new mom with a newborn, it gave me lot of new experiences and I enjoyed every moment with my little Jenny. And with all the new adventures and experiences she became one year. Two days after her first birthday I came to know that I was again pregnant. Since I was breastfeeding I thought I was in the "safe zone" and thought I would not get pregnant. When my pregnancy got confirmed the first thing that came to my mind is how I could take care of Jenny, then finance, my carrier and a lot of things started running into my mind. It was not easy to accept that was pregnant a second time; maybe I didn't want that.
But it's not what we plan; it's God's plan for us. "Yet not what I will, but what you will.” (Mark 14:36).
I wanted to tell someone am pregnant and needed some comfort and so I called my sister in law because I knew she could understand me more than anyone and that she had gone through almost same thing. I felt so comfortable and happy after talking to her . As usual we went to the doctor for a checkup and she told me it's little complicated because my first one was a c-section. I felt a little disappointed after that but it was Tilj who helped me by giving me all support, strength and courage. After that, because of my health condition and for better support I went to my parents where they all helped me with Jenny and stayed there until Jo became 3 months. Of course it was not easy for me to take care two children of 18 months difference alone. But it was so memorable and there have been unforgettable moments of my life with two beautiful creations of God. Now I see they both together and all the pain, difficulties I had that time is easily forgotten.
When I see the smiling and naughty Jo, I think of the moment when I thought of an abortion and what I was going to say no to. Am thanking God every minute for helping me with all to make right decision.
“It is such a joy to witness the power of God’s people championing the gift and the Giver of Life every day,”
After that we have given advice to couples who were going through the situation we had: Is it the right time? Will everything going to be OK.? How family members react? What everyone think about us? Its not easy but if we say "yes" it's the best thing we can do for mankind.
We are so happy that we we helped three couples who were going through the same situation as ours. And we are so proud about that because of us three young angels come to this World.
When I was pregnant with Jo, I was worried about Jenny, but now I know that's the best thing I did to Jenny by giving her a friend, sister ...which completes her.
The littlest feet make the biggest footprints in our hearts.
