Traditions and Superstitions

Made the announcement to my parents today..... not too big a reaction from them (Wow! Congrats!) but they looked pretty happy. Later in the afternoon, my mum called me and told me from now on, we should avoid nailing anything or moving furniture about. Guess this is the beginning of another round of superstitions that we have to deal with (the last one was our wedding).

Apparently, hammering and sawing could lead to miscarriage or fetal deformities. Our trust is in the Lord and we know that He will give us a beautiful and perfect baby, so we do not really believe any of these. But in the spirit of harmony, we will try our best to avoid it. I heard there is one where the pregnant woman has to sleep with a knife under her pillow to ward of evil spirits! Well, one day, if people call me Scar Face, you know why.

Anyway, next up, we will be breaking the news to Shimin's parents.... let's see what happens.
