Baby, Abba Father Will Look After You
God Will Take Care of You
~ Civilla D. Martin, 1869-1948
Stanza 1:
Be not dismayed whate’er betide,
God will take care of you;
Beneath His wings of love abide,
God will take care of you.
Stanza 2:
Thru days of toil when heart doth fail,
God will take care of you;
When dangers fierce your path assail,
God will take care of you.
Stanza 3:
All you may need He will provide,
God will take care of you;
Nothing you ask will be denied,
God will take care of you.
Stanza 4:
No matter what may be the test,
God will take care of you;
Lean, weary one, upon His breast,
God will take care of you.
Chorus:
God will take care of you,
Thru ev’ry day, O’er all the way;
He will take care of you,
God will take care of you.

Hello, baby!
A few days after returning from Hong Kong, we paid Dr Wendy another visit. This time, I learnt my lesson. I drank some water and held my bladder. Not an easy feat in this period of frequent urination, I assure you.
At 8 weeks+, we should be able to see the baby’s heartbeat in the uterus. That precious flickering will rule out ectopic pregnancy, Molar pregnancy and confirm that there is actually a 97% chance for the pregnancy to continue and for me to take home a baby!
Not long into the ultrasound scanning, I saw a tiny head, two hands, a trunk and, deep breath now, a galloping heart! I saw my baby. Well, it was actually a fetus, not a baby yet. But still.. I was overwhelmed and couldn’t stop telling my husband to ‘Look at that! Can you see the heartbeat? Look…!!’
So I went home happy and finally satisfied with the concrete proof I wanted. But you are dead wrong if you think I finally have my peace of mind. No, I started to think if miscarrige would happen in the first trimester; if my baby is going to be normal. The list can go on and on if I let myself dwell in the scary unknowns.
One wise sister, a dear friend of mine, reminded me to put my trust in God. We are finite and there is nothing we can do by worrying. She had the same worries and oh-so-many pregnancy scares but God gave her a healthy and beautiful boy. Many of our worries are simply not valid.
So, baby, Mama is going to go home and take good care of myself so that you can grow healthily in me. We will meet face to face again after 4 weeks. Until then, God will take care of you. We love you and can’t wait to see you.
