It was raining then, like every year on my birthday. Everything happened so fast. None of which were planned. All we had planned for that day is to watch a movie and maybe eat dinner. But God works in wonderful and perfect timing…
We went to the hospital to discuss my delivery with my OB-Gyne, we had it all settled. But my blood pressure was off the scale, and the doctor said we have to deliver the baby or else her health and mine will both be compromised. We had no time to think as I was about to undergo pre-eclampsia, we wasted no time and rushed into the operating room. An hour later, I gave birth to God’s most amazing gift - a healthy beautiful baby girl. Our princess Calla Kentara was born :)
After everything I went through - the headaches, light headedness, hypertension, nausea, vomitting, asthma, allergies, “paglilihi”, healthy diet, medications, sleepless nights, heartburn, constipation and having to give up smoking & abstain from drinking coffee (of which I’m both addicted to). All of these I had to go through, all of which are sincerely worth the pain it caused because everything was for Kera. And if I have to undergo everything all over again a hundred times, I’d gladly do so for my little princess Kera.
The joy of looking at her every waking hour since I gave birth to her. The amazing warmth of her presence. Her priceless smile. The thought of her being my personal miracle (because I believe that babies are gifts from heaven, miracles.) And everything she is makes me happy - the kind of happiness you only find deep in your heart when you’re contented. Thank You Lord God, for my husband & my daughter :) I love you Lord!
And now that I am a mother, I dedicate everything I do for both my husband & daughter. I’m thankful for my understanding & most caring husband whom never left my side since day 1 of my pregnancy until now as we’re both taking care of our baby. I’m thankful for the love he has showered both of us, Kera & I are blessed to have been given a man who can love deeply & unconditionally like my husband, Kent; I’m most thankful for my beautiful, charming, healthy baby princess Kera, whom I will love & cherish for the as long as I shall live and no matter what I will take care of & protect even far more greater than my own life.
I am contented. I am happy. Thank You Lord for my family! To God always be the glory :)
