Why reminisce?
It gas been 21 years already since I became a mom. Been raising my son for 21 years.
Happy birthday anak. Lablab kita kahit madalas di ko na maintindihan priorities mo sa buhay
August 18, 2005
Woke up as usual. Did the laundry. Told my father, I will be going to the OB for checkup. He asked me to wait. He will come with me cause he is worried.
Fetched mama from skul where she is teaching. Went to OB. Was informed i am already in labor.
Got scared when having c section sank in but encouraged myself to be braver. Felt the needle at my back. Prayed hard to the Lord.
4.20pm my son was born.
Heard him cry. Was so sleepy. But super grateful he is healthy. Woke up in and out so sleepy. Felt so cold but fought it out
Husband arrived just in time when i was about to give birth. Saw him only when i was brought to the ward.
Mom said my son was so tiny. Has long feet.
They brought my son to the room, he has fair skin and so little
Had the ultrasound: fluid is 1/2. Turned out water broke without me knowing cause i did the laundry.
Went to another hospital. Mama talked to the doctor and agreed for emergency CS for the baby. Went to OR, got IV, watched other women give birth while nurse filled out my info.
Thank you Seventeen for saving me when I am at my lowest. When I couldn't even tell anyone what I was going through. For being my sunshine, hope and light thru that dark stage of my life.
