Birthday blessings

When I became a mom, my every birthday wish is no longer for myself but for my son so I made it a point that he would enjoy the day rather than me enjoying it. So the unplanned trip to Angeles City was a simple way to treat myself on my birthday. The time out from work was all I really need to spend the day with this not so little one. And soon it'll be his birthday.

This was indeed a surprise that I never expected because the 'bespren' gave this to me weeks after my birthday. Thanks for the greetings and for all the love guys! By the way, the birthday card says: Some gifts you hold in your hand.. Some you hold in your heart.

Of course who would have thought that I got one of the best post birthday gift ever! I can't contain any emotions when I finally held this in my hand. There's just too many stories to tell on how I managed to get this.

Thanks to my family and friends who would always take the time out to remember me on my birthday--much love and hugs from ME..

My Howardy turns 1

I'm one of the luckiest when I got pregnant because I never had a share of nausea or vomiting in the morning like what other pregnant women experience during the first trimester. And for the first time my blood pressure is normal when I used to be always anemic.

But I felt something different that morning, the 6th of December. I was sure then that I'm going to give birth very soon. The contractions became more painful when I was already admitted at 10pm on the same day. At exactly 5:41am of December 7, after only a few hours of labor (lucky again), I gave birth to a healthy baby boy, 8.88 lbs (triple luck as they say) through normal delivery.

I feel so blessed every time I look into my baby's innocent eyes and I'm still amazed every day as to how this little human being lived inside me for 9 months.

Ardy's birth day is not just a celebration but for me it is a day of special thanksgiving.

Happy birthday my lil lad! I will always be here for you and I'm excited to see you grow. But please don't grow up too fast so I can still smooch your armpit without you getting annoyed.  Love you very much with all my heart.
