An amazing day in many ways, even while I am still having a problem with my DOGAC paper.... Another one of those days, on which God seemed determined to prove to me that He can do exceedingly and abundantly more than I can ask or imagine with regards to something that I have been praying for/about over the past two years. The tears and long waits were worth it all indeed. I am glad and thankful.

God, You have been gracious and merciful to me.

Lesson learnt: Don't give up praying - even about the stuff that are not fit to be uttered in the presence of mortals. And trust God with all your heart, even when you are discouraged and disillusioned, and the whole world seems to be against you.

He has made my path straight. (Prov 3:5-6)

...And yes, I finally gained some much-needed weight. Never knew that it could be so difficult to put on weight when one is pregnant! To be fair, I was sick and stressed out throughout the first trimester... and then I came down with a bad flu at the beginning of November. At 17 weeks, my obstetrician shook his head at my weight record and told Ben to feed me with whatever I wanted to eat - healthy or unhealthy. Sounded like music to my ears! Well then, I have been trying to stomach more milk ever since... and eat loads more. Looks like my efforts are finally paying of! :)

Back to my DOGAC paper now.
