Journey

We're going on another holiday. Yaaaaayyy!!! This time its Hanoi.

This one's gonna be the last holiday Mae and I will have for a long, long time. With Baby arriving late August, we expect our live to take a major turn. For one, we'll have to forgo our holidays. A lot of it will have to do with the fact that Baby will be too young to travel. Also, at the early stages of his life he will need Mommy more than ever. So that rules out any travel minus Baby.

But aside from the physiological reasons, we expect that it will be difficult to part from Baby that early on. Over the course of the pregnancy, Baby has become such a big part in our life that we've become awfully attached to the little guy - despite the fact that he hasn't technically arrive. Besides, we would like to be there at the milestones of Baby's development. The first time he sits up, when he starts on solid foods, when he takes his first steps, when he utters his first words... stuff like that has suddenly become so important.

I have always loved kids whilst Mae had never really been a fan. But over the course of the last few month, I have seen such a major change in her. Sometimes when I peek into the room, I see her cradling her tummy and talking affectionately to Baby. Other days she'd be singing to him. And occassionally she'd read the bible to him. As I look at my wife on her journey into motherhood, I am overwhelmed.

Anyway, on Friday is our lesser journey. This one takes us to Hanoi, Vietnam for 4 days and 3 nights. So if you don't see any updates on this blog, you know why. :)

Oh yeah, if you've never told your parents you love them you probably ought to. Now's as good a time as any.
