Rafael At First Sight

        I still couldn’t believe that God has allowed me to be a bringer of a miracle called life.  I am five months pregnant and yesterday, February 4, 2017, I saw my precious little one for the first time through an ultrasound.

      My husband and I went to the clinic early in the morning to have my lab tests done. We also had our scheduled routine ultrasound and the congenital anomaly scan required of every pregnant woman.  We had to wait for three hours for the lab tests to be done, and another thirty to forty five minutes for the doctor (the OB-Sonologist) who would perform the routine ultrasound.  While waiting, there are a lot of things that are going through my mind like, what would my baby be, will he be a boy, or will she be a girl?  Is he/she going to be too small or too big for his age, which is about 20 weeks now,  and a lot of things more.  Finally, my name was called, and the first thing that came into my mind when I entered into the room was, will my baby going to be okay?  Will he or she show his or her gender to me?  Because I have always been informed that there are times when the baby would curl up and wouldn’t show what gender he/she has. Oh the excitement and the nervousness just got higher.
I lied down and the doctor started the procedure.  Fortunately, my baby cooperated, it’s like he was so excited for our first meeting.  I was so happy to learn that he was a boy – a healthy baby boy.  The doctor showed me his body parts – all so tiny and so little, but thankfully, he was normal and all his tiny little parts were complete now, not just fully developed yet, but they more importantly, they were complete. Thank God!  The fear inside me was replaced by excitement and happiness that I couldn’t measure.  I couldn’t explain what I was feeling at that time.  All I know is that I am happy and overjoyed. 

      The doctor showed me was his tiny reproductive organ indicative of a boy J, then, we counted his fingers, his arms, his toes, his internal organs, even his brain.  I hope he grows to be intelligent and witty just like his father, and of course, a boy with a loving heart.  After a while, the doctor called my husband who was patiently waiting outside the room.  He was told that he’s going to be a father to a healthy baby boy.  He couldn’t contain it, I saw him in tears – I know that it was tears of joy because he finally had a glimpse of his little boy.  While he was crying, I was smiling fully because I know that he was happy. I was also happy to see my baby moved, yawned, and maybe he smiled too. J

       It’s been two days since I had my ultrasound, and right at this moment that I am writing this, I am still very overwhelmed and happy.  I couldn’t get my baby off my mind. I think of him every day and every minute especially when I would feel his kicks and movements in my tummy.  I love him already.  I am excited to see and meet my precious little man.  May God bless me, and may I be a good mother to him.  I pray that Gale and I would be the best parents for our baby.  I will be patiently waiting for him.  I am really excited, I can’t wait to meet my precious little Rafael.

It's Been A While

     It’s been four years since I last wrote here.  In those four years, a lot of things have happened in my life.  Things that I would say are life-changing which includes, meeting a man, getting engaged, tying the knot, and finally now , expecting our first baby. I still couldn’t believe how blessed I am to have experience all of these in a span of four years.  Others would say it’s a long wait, but for me, everything is just in its perfect time.  All fell into place.  I am amazed how God has blessed me with all these important events in my life I never imagined will ever happen.       I remember how I used to get so lonely and how I felt so alone before.  I remember how I used to think that settling to be alone and just be single forever was really my fate.  I hated every man that came into my life.  Well not that I really hated them but I always looked for the perfect one but no one was good enough.  ...

Maybe Someday

There are moments when you just want to get mad and ask so many questions because a lot of things are going through in your mind.  But when a person begins to start talking and explaining to you without you even asking, all you can ever say is "I missed you".  When he still proceeds, you just want to give him the tightest hug and wish that you could just take away all his hurts and pains.  All you can even say is "everything will be okay". All these things? I cannot do for the moment because he is just too far and circumstances won't permit us to be together.  All you can do is just pray and let everything be according to God's plan. He finally called me and sent me a few messages.  I can't do anything but just let things take its course.  I am hoping and praying that he will be able to fix his life --- alone, for now.  I also have a life to fix and organize.  Maybe someday, if this, or if we are meant to be together, we will be. ...
