Being a mother

During my first pregnancy, I thought the hard part of it all was during labor. I didn't prepare myself for what will come after and the years after that. I was just deliriously happy.

The pain didn't stop during the labor and delivery. It was there during the first few days when we found out that our daughter has jaundice and had to stay in the hospital. Or, when I had to go home and leave her because her jaundice just won't go down, and we just can't afford to stay there with her.

These are but a few of things that I encountered at the early days of motherhood. And, it all caught me off-guard.

There may be pain but happiness abounds. It also didn't stop at her first breathe outside my womb. It stayed there until this moment when I look at how fast she has grown. How naughty, silly she can be? How she managed to steal every waking thought because if I don't think about her, I'll miss her.

Now, that there'll be an addition to the family. I have to go through it once more. Then, everything will be multiplied to two --- the pain, the happiness, the bills hehehe. But, there will be so much love.



Happy Mother's day!

Confession

Being a Mom.  Sometimes I feel as I am not cut out for it. Too much work.  Too much responsibility.  Too much worry. Worry that Ate T is taking the bus today.  Ate A's tooth is still in there and the new one has already come out.  Baby A has colds and is screaming and wants to cuddle. Sometimes it leaves me breathless. But When I pick up Ate T from our meeting place, I feel so proud of her because she has become independent and can commute.  Ate A's tenacity in wiggling her tooth and she's now toothless, doesn't need to go to the dentist to have it removed.  And, Baby A despite her colds still has appetite and it just feels good to hug her. God has showered me with so much love for giving me 3 wonderful girls.  It feels good being a mommy. Happy Mother's Day to all you wonderful Mommies!

Me! Me! Me!

Last night, I created an LO using the picture below when Bebi A happened to see it. She touched it and said "Me?!" "No, it's me!" I told her. It was really me when I was Bebi A's age. The similarities will not be able to deny that Bebi A is my daughter hahaha I just hope that my bubbly and sunny bebi will not get the mom's sumpong(s). This is one of the few baby pics that I have. I used to have 3 baby albums but one of the worst floods that hit Pinas also took away my memories. Now, this is Bebi A.

Creativity

Dawter T called me up and told me that Bebi A tore her art and made a monster out of the girl in the picture. I know that it's not being mean. Bebi A doesn't have a mean bone in her body. She just don't understand. I talked to Bebi A. Asked her to kiss and make up with her Ate, She did. Ate A told me that she went up to Dawter T and kissed her, then asked "Is this better, Ate?" Awwww... Dawter T's "smashed" art was one of her best. I was really impresed. If only I have taken a picture of it this morning. It was really beautiful. It was a portrait of a girl, by the way. I hope that Dawter T can still replicate it. I know that not all kids are alike. And, my daughters have their own endearing qualities. One's art is different from the other. Dawter T has the potential (not because I'm her mom, ok ok, it maybe because I'm her mom hahaha) and Bebi A's, well, let's just say abstract. Hehe.
