Let’s Share The Story Of Our Lives!

Once upon a time there was a rich King who had four wives.

He loved the 4th wife the most and adorned her with rich robes and treated her to the finest of
delicacies. He gave her nothing but the best.

He also loved the 3rd wife very much and was always showing her off to neighboring kingdoms.
However, he feared that one day she would leave him for another.

He also loved his 2nd wife. She was his confidant and was always kind, considerate and patient with
him. Whenever the King faced a problem, he could confide in her, and she would help him get through the
difficult times.

The King’s 1st wife was a very loyal partner and had made great contributions in maintaining his
wealth and kingdom. However, he did not love the first wife. Although she loved him deeply,
he hardly took notice of her !

One day, the King fell ill and he knew his time was short. He thought of his luxurious life and
wondered, “I now have four wives with me, but when I die, I’ll be all alone.”

Thus, he asked the 4th wife, “I have loved you the most, endowed you with the finest clothing and
showered great care over you. Now that I’m dying, will you follow me and keep me company?”
“No way!”, replied the 4th wife, and she walked away without another word. Her answer cut like a
sharp knife right into his heart.

The sad King then asked the 3rd wife, “I have loved you all my life. Now that I’m dying,
will you follow me and keep me company?” “No!”, replied the 3rd wife. “Life is too good!
When you die, I’m going to remarry!”

His heart sank and turned cold.

He then asked the 2nd wife, “I have always turned to you for help and you’ve always been there for me.
When I die, will you follow me and keep me company?”

“I’m sorry, I can’t help you out this time!”, replied the 2nd wife. “At the very most, I can only walk with you to your grave” Her answer struck him like a bolt of lightning, and the King was devastated.

Then a voice called out: “I’ll go with you. I’ll follow you no matter where you go.”

The King looked up, and there was his first wife. She was very skinny as she suffered from malnutrition and neglect.  Greatly grieved, the King said, “I should have taken  much better care of you when I had the chance!”

In truth, we all have the 4 wives in our lives:

Our 4th wife is our body. No matter how much time and effort we lavish in  making it look good,
it will leave us when we die.

Our 3rd wife is our possessions, status and wealth. When we die, it will l all go to others.

Our 2nd wife is our family and friends. No matter how much they have been there for us, the furthest
they can stay by us is up to the grave.

And our 1st wife is our Soul.  Often neglected in pursuit of wealth, power and pleasures of the world.
However, our Soul is the only thing that will follow us wherever we go.

Cultivate, strengthen and cherish it now, for it is the only part of us that will follow us to the
throne of God and continue with us throughout Eternity.

Jesusss! My google site ranking has gone down completely! It SUX big time. Anyway, I pretty much predicted it because I have been out of action for so many days rather months. My son is keeping me far too busy DAY and NIGHT. I don’t even get time to comb my hair!!!!!! OH MY MY – Never knew motherhood brings so much responsibility. Everybody is suggesting me to keep a nanny for my baby who can help me a bit, but I am not interested at all. I want to do everything on my own, what’s the fun in sharing your responsibility as a mother. I would hate to share my time with my son with an outsider. huh

I have been reading baby development books to know what my baby will be doing next!

His smile drives away my tiredness.. no matter how tired I am but the minute I talk to him my voice automatically becomes Lively! When I used to see babies smiling I would find them cute.. but when your own baby smiles he just takes your breath awayJ

Posting his recent picture where he has an apple face!

So finally I got some time to share my labor story . The most apprehensive moment for any pregnant woman is the delivery day. Majority of the pregnant women tend to watch delivery videos to prepare themselves for the delivery day, as it helps them to know what to expect during the labor. BUT no matter how many pregnancy books you read or how many pregnancy videos you watch still there will be loads of surprises stored for you.

When I was pregnant I used to watch pregnancy weak by weak videos on youtube. Every single day I was so particular of watching videos of pregnant women who share their weak by weak experience and symptoms of pregnancy. I remember I used to ask my sister about what all happens during the time you start experiencing labor pains . As I was consulting the same gynecologist she had consulted before therefore I wanted her to explain everything to me. But little did I know that my baby will be delivered by some other gynecologist!!

That’s what happens with every pregnant woman … no labor story can be the same. My labor day was chaotic, I was scared, I was paranoid. My water broke out all of a sudden and I started bleeding ( little did I know that it was a normal labor symptoms ( though I did read about some slight bleeding) but mine was not slight. The minute my water broke out I knew it that there was something wrong.. I went to the fresh room and checked and screamed on top of my voice. All of us panicked. I can never forget that day. My mind was totally trapped with fear of the unknown. I didn’t know what to expect all I was doing was praying to god to keep my baby safe. I was scared to hell..

I wanted everything to be normal after having him in my stomach for 9 months. We changed our decision to go to our usual gynecologist as it was far off. We chose to visit our nearest hospital and hit the emergency section. My father and hubby went to the reception to explain the situation; the receptionist said that we need to make a file for her first. At a time when you desperately need a diagnosis and you hear that then naturally you loose your mind. My father screamed at the receptionist and ordered her to call the doctor!! I WAS LIKE JUST SHUT THE F* UP AND LET ME GO. Later, nurses diagnosed me and monitored the heart beat of the baby and said “Everything is just fine”

I feel so blessed and lucky to deliver a healthy baby and thank everyone for their blessings.
