BABY PREDICTION

We had just visited a doctor for a pre-natal check up and he advised us that I should eat a lot of fruits for the sake of the baby.

My husband decided we drive down to visit my mum and buy fruits on the way since there was scarcity of fruits where we stayed.

It was a Friday and as I started packing the baby started kicking continuously like never before.

My husband joked that it was due to the fact that he was excited to visit the grand mother.

The situation worsened at night when the kicking almost got painful. I called my personal doctor and he assured me it was normal development.

Morning came and we embarked on our trip. The kicking continued and was very uncomfortable.

When we reached the free way, my husband let the car roll freely and quickly for us to arrive early. I noticed the brake pedal down to the end but nothing was changing. My husband turned pale and tried to calm me down but to I could hear none of it. The brakes on our car were NOT working!

Amidst the situation I heard something in my ears and the words were: “I predict that I would be born well and will have my dad and mum alive.”

I passed out and the next thing I felt was when I was in the hospital with minor injuries on the face and pain in my abdomen.

When I came to I was told that an operation was done to save the baby.

My husband had opted to plunge the car in the river after unbuckling and loosening the doors. He then pulled me and we fell in the waters where we able to survive.

After full recovery we decided to name our baby Prediction.

Up to date he always reacts either negatively or positively when something is in the offing. We have learned to interpret the messages and whenever we want to do something we would just watch him and no whether it would be fine.

However, sometimes the messages are just toddlers playing and crying cases but in most cases things always go as predicted by the predictor.

We went to the doctors to try and understand this kind of feeling but they could not give an answer.

The situation seems to be known only to God.

My husband likes teasing Him to say what we would be eating for dinner but he just chuckles.
