mayumi
it was three years ago when bestfriend and i went to see Atlantis, the Disney movie, at SM City not knowing that the next day would be the start of the best days of our lives.with a belly so big you'd wonder how i was able to walk, i prepared the munggo which was our baon for lunch that day. the plan was to visit our OB and head to work. but all hell broke lose when the doc said i'll be delivering the baby that day. i thought, wow...really? today? are you sure?
where's the tremendous pain every one was ranting about? this was too easy than i expected. well... that was what i thought until 5 hours later.
having heard the news, we went to the office to...guess what...file my maternity leave. everybody who knew i'd be having a baby later and saw me all smiles and filing my maternity leave were either baffled or scared. Scared for me that is.
and the nightmare began, excuses to all singles and virgins out there...but the pain...can i just tell you that the freakin pain was just unimaginable. i mean, i have psychologically prepared myself of the greatest pain i can imagine
but no...oh no...when i say unimaginable...i mean it.
and then she came, no, there was no "pang-tender-care-baby-powder" scene, where the mom would touch the baby's finger and tears will just roll down her eyes. actually, the first time i saw her, i still couldn't believe she's mine. i read in books that a mother has to talk to her new born to bond them but honestly, i felt awkward doing it. i just talk to her in my mind where nobody has to hear. our first conversations
were like that...and now...we just couldn't stop talking.
happy birthday sam and thank you for giving me a purpose. that is, to be a friend and a mother to you. and i thank Him for making it all happen. and when you read this, say...five or six years from now...remember that mommy wants you to be happy all the time.
note. the title of the article is what we should have named sam had we not changed our minds at the last minute.

min said... waah... no "pang-tender-care-baby-powder" scene? shucks, naiiyak ako habang binabasa, i wonder what sam will feel if she gets to read this :) ang sarap, i-quote: "happy birthday sam and thank you for giving me a purpose. that is, to be a friend and a mother to you. and i thank Him for making it all happen. and when you read this, say...five or six years from now...remember that mommy wants you to be happy all the time."
