By the time I got pregnant, I have so many apprehensions. At first I wasn't that excited when I missed my period a month after we got married. I thought it won't be that early. My hubby and I missed our "honeymoon" period. Anyway, I am not getting any younger then and I realized that it is just the right time for me to conceive.
The nine-month period was not that easy. The most crucial part was during my first trimester. I've been through that what they medically referred to as hyperemesis gravidarum. It was really so hard for me. I lost a lot of weight. Good thing my OB-Gyne advised me to take vitamins to help me all the way. The second trimester was a lot better. I was able to cope up with all those pain and difficulties. I felt nervous during my seventh month. My baby could come anytime. During that nine-month period, we move for about three times. It was really hard for me but we have no choice. First, we need to move because I became allergic with my surroundings. The second, we were asked by the owner to vacate the place at that instant and lastly, we moved out because it was too stressful for me because the last place where we stayed was quite a distance from the highway.
But I was thankful to God for the strength that He gave me. Earlier this year, I finally become a mother to my 8.6 pounds baby. I gave birth in cesarean operation because my body did not cooperate during that time. Besides, my baby was too big according to my OB-Gyne that is why it is difficult for me to give birth in normal delivery.
Right now, I enjoyed my journey as a Mom. Every afternoon, I always look forward for a day to end so that I could be with my baby again. I really want to be with him 24/7 but I need to work. The days that I spent with him during my leave of absence from work were seems not enough. However, I have already overcome that separation anxiety. It was my mother-in-law who babysit him because we cannot afford to hire a nanny yet.
My baby is my treasure. I really love him. I never mind spending a sleepless night with him. His smile, his laugh, wow, I really love everything about him. I love it when I cuddled him, when I sing a nursery rhyme to him. Indeed, the feeling is really different. i always thank God for giving him to me. All those pain that I felt because of the operation (which I can still feel until now) are nothing. I can ignore all of them. My baby is the most treasured gift that God ever gave to me.
The joy of being a mother is indeed immeasurable, incomparable and a real fulfillment. The experience is priceless and I really learned a lot about parenting through what they referred to as "mother's instinct". As of now, my baby's sleeping patterns is unpredictable. He also developed that what they call "baby tantrums". Parenting is an art. You learn things naturally. Every afternoon, after working hours, I am always looking forward of being with my baby again.
