We are still shocked when we got to know that mummy was going to have you. We went to the doctor and had a normal check up, but when the doctor said that I was 2 months pregnant, daddy and mummy were shocked and we shouted in excitement!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">When we went out of the room, we were smiling non-stop and we told your grandparents. They were super excited to hear the news and when mummy got home, grandma came to mummy&#8217;s tummy and said: \u201cHello baby, grandma&#8217;s here\u201d. Mummy never felt happier before. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Daddy and mummy promise to give you an amazing life. We were so excited that we found the best name to name you!

He remembered starting in one school in America and they had student helpers to help kids who started their school late. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">So his helper was this beautiful girl, Skylar Blackburn. Not only was she beautiful and older, but she was the nicest girl he ever met. Sky helped him to fit in so well that because of her, he is the funny, outgoing and loving sweetheart that he is today.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">He has said that if he ever got the chance to have a daughter, he would name his daughter after her; hoping that she would be as great as that girl was.<\/span><\/p>\n<span class=\"su-quote-cite\">Lilian<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>&#8220;From now on, you will be my sunshine&#8221; &#8211; Theviya Nadarajah from Kuala Lumpur<\/h3>\n<div class=\"su-quote su-quote-style-default su-quote-has-cite\"><div class=\"su-quote-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\n<p><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">From the very first day till now, 28 weeks later, I have been talking to you every day while rubbing my tummy, my little darling, telling you each and everything that I do. Feels like I have become a little girl too now :-). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">I call her Shreya Kutty, or cutie pie, a name that\u2019s \u00a0close to my heart. I have always wanted a daughter as she could be my best friend, just like me and my mom.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">We had our detailed and 3D scan on my 23rd week and you were too cute and shy, as both your hands and legs were curled to conceal your cutie face, as you wanted to surprise us so that we can only see you when you are born.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Since the 24th week, I could feel her movements and whenever I said Shreya kutty, she would respond actively, and the feeling is like a million dollars, my cutie pie baby. I was so excited telling everyone that my little girl is finally moving now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">My cutie pie, mom and dad love you so much and you mean the world to the both of us now, we are waiting for your arrival. Everything is almost ready, from your beautifully decorated bed cot with all the soft toys, to your cute dresses, and even matching shoes. We\u2019re just waiting to hug you in our arms, little princess.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">To my lovely daughter, I just want to be a loving and understanding mom like how my mom brought me up to who I am today. From now on, you will be my sunshine. As a promise to you, I will always strive to be the best mom and your best friend too. You are the most valuable gift to both of us. I feel so blessed and happy to have you in my tummy, I can feel your every movement and heartbeat, and they give me a special feeling.

She was a strong fighter. She had stage 4 cancer for 6 years and hoped that your father would get married sooner so that she could see her grandchild. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">But, our fate was a little late as your mom and dad only started to meet and get to know each other when your grandmother was feeling very weak. And so, after only a month of knowing each other, I agreed to get married to him and I also agreed that if God gave us the fate to have a child early, I would gladly accept it though I&#8217;m not yet prepared for it. I told myself that everything happens for a reason. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">So, by the time I knew that I had conceived you, I had a mixed feeling. But I was really happy to see how happy your dad was when he broke the news to your late grandmother. She was in her bed for almost a month. I always took things to my heart and cried in my sleep. \u201cWhy did I meet your dad this late?\u201d \u201cWill your grandmother get the chance to meet you?\u201d, I would often ask, and sometimes I would blame myself. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">But, that&#8217;s fate. Your grandmother was really happy, excited, full of joy, and proud when she knew that I had you. She told her neighbours with tears of joy (the neighbours only told me this after she passed away). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">She said that she would give her consent if we wanted to give you a Japanese name. With a smile, she asked us if we had already decided a name for you. Your dad said that you\u2019ll be named Yuka \u30e6\u30ab, if you\u2019re a girl, and Yuki \u30e6\u30ad, if you\u2019re a boy. Your late grandmother was happy upon hearing the names that we had on our minds. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Baby, truth be told, your mama is not really close with her mother. I was brought up by a maid because my mother was too busy working and earning money. As a result, I don\u2019t have much memory of growing up with my mother, and it&#8217;s awkward to say \u201cI love you mum\u201d or even to hug her, you know? But, your late grandmother always expressed her love to her sons and daughters, and showed the same to her daughter-in-laws. This was something new to me. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">The doctor told her a day before that there was nothing that could be done. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><span style=\"font-size: 1.6rem;\">She told me that she doesn\u2019t know if she could meet you, so when I showed her the video of your 3D scan, she broke down in joyful tears.\u00a0<\/span>When I was struggling to hold my tears back, your late grandmother pulled me into her arms, hugged me, kissed my forehead and said: \u201cThank you\u201d. That was the time when I knew what\u2019s it like to have a mother\u2019s love.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">She passed away on the 13th April 2017 at 3.55 a.m. I went to the emergency room with you, baby, to see her before her last breath.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">At 6 a.m, your dad came home, crying as he hugged me and he couldn&#8217;t even stand properly. I told him to be strong, to be strong for us baby. We buried her later that evening around 5 p.m. I was also there with you baby. Once you are out, we will visit her grave again together, as a whole family. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Baby, your initials will be MY. M is to honour your late grandmother\u2019s strong resilience in her battle with cancer. Her name was Maimon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">The doctor has scanned you two times and she guessed that you will be a baby girl, a beautiful baby girl. So we went to search for a name that starts with M. Since we already agreed with the name Yuka, if God&#8217;s willing that you are a girl, your name will be Maysa Yuka \u30de\u30a4\u30b5\u30fc \u512a\u83ef \u00a0\ud83d\ude0a<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">See you soon baby. We can&#8217;t wait to tell you more. We hope you will grow up to become a beautiful, strong, and independent person. You are the greatest gift that we could ever have and will have. We hope your late grandmother will be proud of us having you in this world.<\/span><\/p>\n<span class=\"su-quote-cite\">Khalidah<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Just.
