The Long Wait

It was a long 11-year wait for me to get pregnant.  Everyone I know was always asking when I will get pregnant, or why I never got pregnant.  Women going through what I went through would probably be annoyed with all those questions but not me.  I have always believed in my heart that one day God will give me children. 

I held on to God's promise to me in Psalms 113:9 "He settles the childless woman in her home as a happy mother of children. Praise the LORD."  And that was hope indeed.

Then came the 11th year of marriage and I was unexpectedly pregnant.  Pregnant at a time when I never should be.  I was pregnant when I was reviewing for a national major exam. Yes. I remember talking to my doctor about it telling her that I was married for 11 years and that was my first time to be pregnant.  She said "11 years? You should be very happy!"  I was happy, joyful deep in my heart but it came at at time when i was too busy doing something I thought was the priority at that time.  I honestly had mixed emotions.  I wasn't ready.

The baby was expected to come out on the first month of 2019 but instead came out on the last day of 2018.  We were overjoyed.  I was the happiest mom ever!  

The long wait was over. My husband was the most joyous man in the whole world! He waited for 11 years to become a dad and this baby came...

It was a long wait but it was worth it!
