AUGUST 2017 RUNDOWN
8:53 PM
A lot happened in
August. It may not seem so because I was not updating here often but really… a
lot happened.
I rested just like
what I mentioned in my to-do list. We weren’t able to book that SPA appointment
I’ve been wanting to for so long, though, but I was able to have a somewhat
decent rest.
In the start of
August, my hubby’s aunt, uncle and cousin visited us here in Singapore. Before
consuming the days of their vacation here in Singapore, we treated them first
to a 3D2N stay at Nirwana Resort Hotel and Indra Maya Pool Villa in Nirwana Gardens, Bintan Indonesia. After
that, my hubby made sure to tour them in some of the most famous places here in
Singapore. Their stay here was quite
short but we’re sure that it’s definitely worthwhile.
As far as my
online presence is concerned, I managed to still upload five videos on my
YouTube channel. Click on any of the videos below to watch!
I did take a break
from blogging as I found it harder to write last month. I’m not sure yet what
would the case be for this month but I’ll try not to be away for so long like
last time. Keyword: try
I also got to
catch up with my good friend Abby who is now pregnant and very blooming. I
guess pregnancy is treating her oh so nicely. :)
Remember I
mentioned “a lot” happened? Well…
I’ve never really
openly talked about this here but we’re trying to get pregnant this year. In
fact we’ve been trying since we got married in 2011. So it’s been 6 years. Last
month, we made a decision to go back to a fertility specialist and try again.
We did undergo a few tests already in the past (on and off) but we always stopped at some point due to a lot of
reasons (i.e. our schedules don’t meet, I
was too stressed with work, he was too stressed at work, I got a case of
depression, etc.) until fast forward, it’s already 2017 and we’re still not
pregnant.
Nothing is
impossible with God. It’s an unchangeable truth. And we have faith that in His
time, He will hand us the precious answer to our prayers of having a baby like
He always does. We’ve gone back to a fertility specialist because we believe
that we owe it to ourselves to really know what’s up with our bodies. Although
some of the tests we’ve had in the past came back normal, the fact that we
still don’t have a child right now says a lot. It could mean that we’re just
too scared of what we would have found out had we gone further with all the
necessary works/tests in the past. It could mean we’re not financially ready at
that time. It could mean we’re still emotionally unstable. It could mean we
have not done yet all that we could on our part. It could mean a lot of things.
So when we finally made that
appointment to see the doctor last month, showed up on our appointment and had
all the initial tests done, I felt a different kind of victory. ‘Coz even
though it’s still a long way to go, facing our fears of judgment and of the
scary truth about what-could-really-be our
situation is one step closer to becoming ready for the answer to our prayers.
I wish you all a
victorious month of September and may we all never stop dreaming, praying for
our dreams, fighting for what we believe in and believing that one day, all we
ever hoped for will all come true!
