He Saves

Yay! today I am officially TWO years old. Here marks the start of THE TERRIBLE TWO.

I guess Papa and Mamarazzi are still amazed how fast I am growing.Some people thought that I am THREE years old when they see me for the first time.

Alamak! does it mean that Mamarazzi have to start flashing my Identity Card when we go to makan-makan where kids of certain age eats for free?



Many have asked why the name Joshua? Pretty common name. Guess only Mamarazzi knows. She have been fascinated by this name since the first time she saw it. It means "He Saves".Not that she thinks that I'll be saving lives or anything, but rather someone up there will always look after me and saves me from harm.

And true enough I had a few narrow escapes even before I was born.

Once when I was in Mamarazzi's tummy for barely two months, there were some bleeding. In between then on there were some ups and downs.

A case of bad food poisoning where Mamarazzi vomited from morning to night. Thank God, Kaw Por was around then

.

Three weeks before I was born, Papa came down with Chicken Pox and I was in danger again coz Mamarazzi never had Chicken Pox before. According to the doctors the most risky time to come down with chicken pox is between five days before giving birth and two days after delivery. Coz then I would have been exposed to the virus but doesn't have time to receive antibodies from Mamarazzi. Means, there's a high chance that I'll develop what's called neonatal varicella, or newborn chicken pox, which can be serious and even life threatening – especially if left untreated. And thank God again, He saved me.

Another narrow escape was on the day that I was born. I tried to come out the natural way. Mamarazzi huffed, puffed and yet I couldn't get out. The doctors saw that my heart beat was getting slower and slower. The doctors had to do emergency operation to get me out. Saved once again by someone up there.



Thus that is the story of my name. Mamarazzi said that I only get to enjoy sitting here in my lovely Rocking Chair coz He saved me many times. Mamarazzi hope He will continue to look out for me in my lifetime.
