And she shall be called.... Abigail, Joanna? Naomi?...

Honestly, I have not thought of a name for my "soon-to-be-borned" baby girl. And I have not taken time to discuss this with my wife. So it was that I was shaken in a dream recently of my "tidak-apa" attitude towards the gift from God.

I am thankful to God for always being a good and strict Father - always shaking me out from my pitiful mental frame, and reminding me to be serious in walking right with Him.

The fact that Dr. Ng (my wife's gynaecologist) announced the sex of my baby in a very playful manner ("...it's a hamburger") did momentarily affected my appreciation for the upcoming birth of my firstborn. Honestly, I was expecting a baby boy. I realized that it shouldn't be about my "way" but God's way, and that the celebration of a new life and a celebration of my little baby girl should be anticipated to a level that honors and glorifies God.

Every birth is a miracle, and every life is precious in His eye!

Life will certainly change for me and my wife when our little baby girl is born somewhere towards end of November. One thing for sure - I may be sleeping in a single bed for a few months while my wife and the baby get to slumber on our queen-sized mattress.

Will update my blog with ultrasound pics and more interesting stuff in the weeks to come. Ah... and also the baby's name will be made known.

Chen Tze, looks like our choice of "Benjamin" will have to wait.
