32 Weeks of Pregnancy

Nothing much to blog about this week pregnancy. Basically, I'm doing well except that I'm suffering from a moderate backache whenever I get out from the bed.

I decided to share with Baby Ethan about his Grandpa (my Dad) story here.

Hi Ethan Boy,

Mummy was born in a middle-class family. I'm the only girl & I have one elder brother & one younger brother. Grandpa pampers Mummy since young. Whenever I requested, I got it, especially during my birthday and also when I scored good results in school. If I were to compare with my brothers, I'm the most lucky one among them. Everything seems to change after Grandpa left Wellcome (Ethan, Grandpa was an excellent sales person & he got many awards during his years of service with Wellcome)! He started mini market business with his buddy. However, due to the poor management, the business was winded up few years later with debts. Grandpa sold off his car and change to old junk car. We felt so shameful initially but we also accepted it with an open heart later. Grandma did some home-based jobs to ease the financial status. I remembered 3 of us used to help Grandma stick the t-shirt logos & she ironed it. She also accepted some sewing jobs from the neighbour. She even babysit 2 babies before. We also worked some part time jobs during school semester break. However, they always made sure that we paid our education & school bus fees on-time.

Ever since then, Grandpa has changed few jobs till he settled at Unilever. With stable income, Grandpa's drinking habit was worsen. He drank and gambled! Over the years, his credit card bills have piled up! We received many calls from the banks & we were so fade up. What's more? He even borrowed money from others. We helped him to settle his debts here and there. Mummy's brothers was totally disappointed till they wanna disown Grandpa as their father. Anyway, with much persuasion and also his health condition, we have asked him to come back home. We have forgiven him except for my elder brother. I know that he is still trying his best to accept him. Anyway, lets forget the past.

Grandpa is going for his bypass surgery this Thursday. Everyone is worry as nobody will know what is the outcome of the surgery. I have told him to stay positive as Baby Ethan will wanna say Hi to his Grandpa soon. Even then, the post surgery care is even more critical. We hope that Grandma & Uncle Ken will stay strong to accompany Grandpa through the entire days. Daddy, Mummy and Ethan will continue to give our supports to Grandpa by sending our regards to him everyday till he comes back to our home again!
