Plus One

Married life is different.
Countless times did I hear that said by many people, yet never did I think it would be like this.
It is full of surprises, like taking emotional roller coaster, with a blindfold and without the safety belt. Up times up ahead, and down times around the corner. You just let them hit you, enjoy them, learn from them, grow.

So, when my wife told me that the pregnancy test conducted by her doctor turned out to be POSITIVE, it's just another surprise splashed over my head.

I'm still constantly surprised by the fact that I am now married, and now I'm suddenly brought into another chapter. My eyes is still wide from the hearing the surprise.
But then I thought about babies, about MY baby, and my heart was just suddenly filled with warmth. With joy. With excitement. And I am scared at the same time.

I am still immature sometimes (most of the times in fact). And how can a big baby like me raise another baby? Am I ready?
I know there are many couples who want to have a baby but couldn't. And I know there are many couples who don't want to have baby but, recklessly and irresponsibly, got it anyway. I don’t know about the perfect time to have a baby, but somehow He thinks that this is the right time for us. So for me, it's not about wanting, not about avoiding. It’s about His blessing us with this baby, following His plan and have this joy in our hearts all the way. Thank you God.
Your prayers are welcomed.

Note: I planned to write something humorous and sarcastic as usual. But just couldn't think of anything to be laughed at. So for once, just laugh with me instead of at me.
I promise you there would be many experiences that you can laugh at in the future.
