A beautiful birth

After months of waiting, our second bundle of joy finally arrived. It was a rainy Monday, the 26th of May at 3:48 in the afternoon when I first saw Katy’s beautiful face. I prayed for God’s hand to be with the doctors and all the staff who will assist me, a safe and easy delivery…

Premature Labor

Two weeks ago I noticed a hint of blood on my tissue after I peed. My first instinct was to think about what date it was that day and got excited when I realized that it was the 17th of the month (the day of our anniversary) so I went to the room and woke…

7 months down, 2 more to go!

Last weekend, my husband out of nowhere wanted to have another 3d scan of our second bundle of joy. I  really wanted the idea but I was a little hesitant because there are still a couple of things we need to buy on my baby list (few more but relatively expensive items such as sterilizer…

Mommy Anniversary

Today marks the 9th birthday of my eldest child. Through all the years of her existence, she has never been excited about her birthday just like she was this year. She started her countdown a month before her big day and would update me every night. She was just too excited and the excitement radiated…

Children are inheritance from the Lord

Can you still imagine the unexplainable feeling when you first held your child in your arms? Do you still remember the pain and joy you felt at the same time when you first heard her cry? I do. But as years passed, with all the work, finances and problems to face, I have to admit…

God is able

We were so busy about the holidays when we found out that we are having another baby last year. Gifts, travel, food are mainly what preoccupied us and so I guess the reality that our second bundle of joy coming soon didn’t sink in yet. I realized that I am almost halfway my pregnancy. I…

It’s another girl!

Well, after practically searching for all 3d/4d ultrasound clinics, we finally went to one near our place. I called them before and they said they can’t determine gender yet at 17 weeks so we were frustrated. We wanted to find out before Christmas and waiting for 3 or 4 more weeks was a big deal…

Math Tutor

My daughter had 3 days off from school but only started doing her assignments the night before she returns to school. I had been asking her several times to sit down and open her books but she just wouldn’t do it. So on the last minute, we were cramming. She had Science, Computer and Math…

The Legend of the Bitten Nails

About 2 or 3 years ago, my daughter started the habit of biting her nails. I didn’t notice it immediately and when I found out about it, it was no big deal to me. As months or shall I say years passed by, I would remind my daughter from time to time that biting her…
