Surrender

I got this word from a very dear friend of mine this morning. I probably don't show it much but my mind has been thinking on several things, big things which we will be facing soon or later.

The soonest one will be the delivery off course. As much as i want it to be a smooth and sailing spontaneous delivery, i cannot neglect the fact that a trial of labor after caesarian has some risks and pre requisites. To name some of them: no induction is allowed to trigger contraction. The obgyn recommendation is quite clear, if there's no natural contraction this week, we need to set a date for another caesarian.
I need to do more effort to make the contraction come off course but in the end it's true what she told me earlier, just surrender. If God wants it to happen (the spontaneous delivery) then i will get my contraction this week. Amin.

Some other decisions have also been made for our family plan later this year. We finally got our seats for Hajj 2014 which means we will leave our dear 4 mos old little baby at home with probably her grand parents and nanny to take care of her while we're not there. Not to mention how i should prepare her breastmilk stock and how i will cope with the tight schedule (and pumping my breastmilk in between in order to avoid engorgement and to ensure i can still produce and breastfeed my baby when i'm back), etc. But then again, we believe God has chosen us to come and visit the holyland this very year and we should be greatful about it. Again, some efforts must be made and in the end, surrender is the word.

And another thing linked to our next opportunity later on, but it's probably to early to be shared but it's been occupying our thoughts, sans doute. Again..we do make efforts and surrender :)

To surrender, is not at all a negative word, is it?

Thanks again dear friend, you know who you are :)
