Random Thoughts

Marlon and I attended a baby shower of our ka-household in CFC last Friday and we had this activity that asked us to write about what having a baby means to us. We were asked to write only 3 best things but after the activity, I realized that I need to write more because 3 things are not enough to describe it. And here are these things... Having a baby means...


1. Smiling even if you're having a bad day... (or, even if you're mad at your husband! hehe!)

2. Knowing how much you're needed by one "little" person and with that, knowing how much you can give so much for that "little" person

3. Knowing that you can do almost anything just for your baby to be safe (well, except for waking up fully at night - that, I haven't really done that - always half-asleep. haha!)

4. Knowing how much you can endure pain during labor and then after that, feels like everything is worth it when you see your baby smiling back at you. (one more baby sweetie? =P)

5. Realizing how much you can love without expecting something in return

6. Changing your priorities. Yourself is suddenly #2 on the list (Hubby and Baby - #1).

7. Work-at-home is suddenly the best option.

8. Sleepless nights. And then, go to work the next day feeling groggy but you have to keep yourself awake (thanks to sugar-free COFFEE!) or else you won't meet all the deadlines!

9. Seeing the combination of you and your hubby.

10. Small details about your baby is suddenly your major achievement - making pooh (especially if not poohing for days!!), burp (especially if she is very uneasy), starts to lift her head, starts to smile, starts to make "dapa", starts to look at you, starts to laugh, and all the other small things that she does.

Having Baby Alex really changed our lives, oh well, me in particular. All I can say is that, I will do the best I can to LOVE her with all my heart, to keep her safe, to make her life comfortable, and to make her realize how much she is a blessing to me and Marlon.
