I was really having the hard time pushing as the assistant of the OB helped me by pressing hard his arms on my tummy as i make a push. she was 8.5 lbs, I even got scared as i heard those other patients really screaming at the top of their lungs while giving birth.

With Nicco– it was an induced labor because they have seen on the ultrasound that the water level have decreased and it is no longer safe for the baby, right there and then after series of tests I was informed the need to give birth asap. and so we went home to get things and went back to the hospital, I came at around 3 p.m and gave birth at 5 p.m. I was prepared and relaxed as i was giving birth, the staff were amused because I was so behaved daw unlike the other patients they assisted. While at the labor room nakatulog pa ako and was awake only as i felt the contractions were already every 5 minutes in interval.

I am really good at every kind of household chores, I love to clean and it really feels so good after you see the outcome of what you did. doing the laundry and ironing clothes is not a problem to me… though it is really hard to wash all those pile of laundry without the help of a washing machine… this I can attest, for I manually laundry all our clothes with my bare hands… The only thing that I don’t know is to COOK! Yes, i didn’t say that i hate this but I don’t really have the so called abilty to do it. In which I am Lucky to have my husband to the cooking thing… This, he calls himself the great cook. No doubt about it for he receive a lot of praise whenever they have a catering event.

On Being a Mom

A question from Vannie.

Question: What I love most about being a mom.

Despite the messy and cluttered toys all over the room, the stress and problems associated with everyday circumstances –
  • I’ve felt that a sense of emptiness inside me was filled in when I became mom.
  • I love getting pure and innocent sweet gestures from my children.
  • I love to hear when Gabby says “Mama, mahal na mahal kita” as in with matching beautiful eyes and kiss pa.
  • I love to hear when Nicco shouts “Mamaaaaa.. ” whenever I arrive at home from work. You could see the pure excitement in his eyes.
  • I love learning with them as i teach Gabby to do her assignments, I almost forgot the uses of the prepositions”At, In, On” not until Gabby illustrated to me those meanings.
  • I love those bonding time moments- group kiss, group hug, chit chats before we sleep.
  • I get to have a good massage from Ian, Gabby and Nicco whenever I needed one. Gabby will ask, “you’re tired mama? masahe ka namin gusto mo?”
  • I am Happy that I am raising a very lovable and bright kids with hubby’s help, I feel so proud that he’s a hands on daddy to our children.
  • Indeed, the essence of a woman is by becoming a mother. I am proud and happy being a mom.
