Thank you Lord for giving me this sweet little girl! I will always be grateful of your love each time I wake up. *wink*

Enjoys playing her LeapFrog toy

After taking a bath, my little girl tried to play her Barney DVD on her own

My CS operation was scheduled on the 18th of January, but my little girl could no longer wait to see the world. She came out on January 12 instead.

The pain was all worth it!

I decided not to go to work for two days so I could take him to his pediatrician and nurse him while he’s sick (despite my tormenting work load in the office).

The doctor prescribed some antibiotic and paracetamol. So we’re all hoping for his speedy recovery. He lost a few pounds and his eyes look tired.

It’s so hard to focus on my work when he’s sick. My mind is always at home. I hate this feeling.

And I think that is what I need now. As I struggle to become the kind of mother that God wants me to be, I need to be inspired by parents who have the same conviction when it comes to child-rearing.

I realized that aside from praying, I also need to be in touch with people who can understand what I’m going through, people that I can share my motherhood experiences with, people that can give me tips on how to become a better mother the godly way – and the list goes on. Who else should I talk to? Of course, moms like me!

As they say, it’s easy to bear a child…But it’s very difficult to be a good mother.

I am not a perfect mom. As a matter fact, I have a lot of flaws…flaws that I’m willing to work on as I continue this exciting journey to motherhood.

A baby asked God, “They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?”

“Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you.”

The child further inquired, “But tell me, here in heaven I don’t have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy.”

God said, “Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your angel’s love and be very happy.”

Again the child asked, “And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don’t know the language?”

God said, “Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak.”

“And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?”

God said, “Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray.”

“Who will protect me?”

God said, “Your angel will defend you even if it means risking it’s life.”

“But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore.”

God said, “Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach you the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you.”

At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, “God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angel’s name.”

“You will simply call her, “MOM”

Greggy’s growing up too fast and as much as I hate to admit it, he’s becoming more attached to his nanny than me and his daddy. I can’t blame him anyway. His nanny always spends time with him and they really enjoy each other’s company.

Now does that make me a jealous mother?

Yes, you can probably say that I’m a bit jealous of the time she spends with him. Because it’s the LUXURY I can’t afford right now. I know my Saturdays and Sundays can never be enough. And that makes her luckier than I could ever be.

God, I am so envious. *sigh*

All I know is that I wrote it a few weeks after I gave birth to my precious son. He looks like a real angel when sleeping and I just love staring at him! I never thought that motherhood could be this wonderful. I must have done something good in my life to deserve such a wonderful gift from God.

I love watching you sleep,
I love the way you smell
Your breath is like a morning breeze
Your skin is as soft as a gentle kiss

I love the way you look at me
With your gorgeous eyes, my heart melts away
Oh how I love holding you in my arms!
Swaying with you…as I send you to sleep

You smile like an angel each time you wake up
You bring me so much joy…
You make me feel complete…
And you make me proud having you as my angel

I could not ask for more
For He had been so kind
You are the greatest gift I’ve ever had
A sweet little angel sent from above

Now I can’t wait for you to talk
And say “Mommy, I love you!”
Your sweet little giggles are like music in my ears
That plays over and over again each time I think of you

I can’t seem to get enough of you, my little angel…
How I wish time wouldn’t fly too fast
Because I am scared to let you go
Not now, not in the next twenty years…
