Waiting in anticipation...

Nick, my best bud, whom I consider a brother both in Christ and in real life, is expecting his first born child any time now, actually it was due yesterday...

I know how anxious he was feeling as I was feeling the same way almost 11 months ago now, and since about 10am this morning, he was not online on MSN, which could mean one of two things... 1) Diana has gone into labour and he's done a runner to the hospital, or 2) he's stuck underneath some large immovable object, and can't get online.

I've tested my hypothesis by emailing him soon after 10am, but no reply...

SMS'ed him at about noon... no reply...

Been praying and thinking about them since about then, and now it's about 8:30pm at night, and just eagerly awaiting news... How awesome it would be, just like 11 months ago when the angels rejoiced with Ming and I when our precious little Hannah was born!!!

And it's the season for bubs, as our friends Sean and Christina had a little baby boy Caleb a couple of weeks ago, and Dave and Julia had a little baby boy Elliot last Friday. And news just in last night that our friends Mervyn and Sze in Singapore had a little baby girl Tammy also last Friday...

God speed little TicTak (project name for Nick and Diana's little bub...), the whole world is eagerly waiting to meet you! And Nick and Diana, our thoughts and constant prayers at with you at this moment...
