Delivery, Breastfeeding, Bathing, etc & the little one

I sat through a 3 hours talk yesterday evening on how a baby is delivered, technicalities of how to breastfeed, how to bathe a newborn, the types of immunization needed for the little one. I went with a group of colleagues. It's interesting to note how many squealed at the pictures of delivery. (No.. Not that I have given birth but I am SO glad that my experience in the hospital before has trained me to see worse photos). As I hear those squeals, I sort of recalled how I had squealed 3 years back. Shivers down my spine..!

Throughout the talk, I can't help but praise God for the mystery of the human body - the Female body. It's amazing HOW a female body can continue to breastfeed for many many years.. It's amazing how through that rib from Adam, a woman is formed so very different with the addition of a Birth Canal for child birth. I often hear my friends saying that their tolerance of pain is VERY low and that they cannot "tahan" (withstand) birthpains. Yet, those are the very friends who went through it and still want their 2nd or 3rd one. Somehow, it's quite true that God will not give us anything more that we can bear.

Well.. for me, I don't have to go through those pains yet.. I have two lovely godsonnies.. :) Looking forward to seeing them agaiN!
