This
time last year, I was celebrating this special day for mothers with our little
munchkin still inside my tummy. I felt I
had the right to co-celebrate with all amazing moms (and dad-moms,
lolo/lola-moms, sibling-moms etc) of the world because technically I'm a mom
already. Little did I know that being a mom is far from what I imagined it to
be. Spoiler: IT'S WAY BETTER! :)
After
giving birth, I was exhausted. Happy, relieved, and just plain exhausted. It
was a grueling almost 24 hours of "labor". I was brought to the
hospital around 6AM on the 27th, hoping that I will give birth a couple of
hours later so I was pretty sure our little boy's birthday will be July 27. It
took me a whole day of waiting, monitoring, cm-checking and "doc wala pa
ba talaga" questioning before finally seeing our little one the morning
after at 5:55AM.
This
year, I am definitely, solidly, officially, proudly a mom on mother's day.
Everyday I thank God for this blessing. Waking up to a giggly bundle of energy,
eager to see "Da" and "Ma" every single day is something I
look forward to when I sleep the night before.
All the chocolates I have to say no to while pregnant, wine sessions I
had to beg off from, late night get togethers I missed, shopping sprees I no
longer do.. Every little "sacrifice" we had to do as first time
parents is all worth it. I love our little family! Special mention and a whole
lot of thanks to my hubby Arvic for being an awesome dad/husband.
Special
greeting to my wonderful Mama! Happy Mother's day Ma. I am praying to be the same Mama to Zach as
you've been to us. You are the best! Happy Mother's day to my Ate too. Make
sure you get the rest you deserve this weekend.
Happy
Mother's Day to all moms (dad-moms, lolo/lola-moms, sibling-moms) out there!
Stay positive and continue spreading the love. :)
