Royce and Neri --Love Moves (In mysterious Ways)

keeping us smile everyday

For lack of other things to say, i just feel like posting here my second nephew's picture. His name is Eivan Joseph or EJ for short. There may not be many physical similarities between him and his Kuya Vincent,-- for one EJ is moreno like their Papa while Vincent is mestizo like their Mama--, but both kids are very lovable and super maharot. Like on this picture, EJ puts on his head a tiger stuffed toy and candidly pose for pictures. My sister who is a graphic artist made this collage afterwards. Isn't he cute? They really don't fail to make us laugh every minute of the day with their acts. And look at those lips, sarap kagatin di ba? My kuya teases me that my baby will somehow look like EJ kasi mukhang pinaglilihian ko daw ang anak nya. Not bad, he's cute anyway and i love the way he calls my name, Tata Nana (Tita Nene). And I love EJ and Vincent like my own. Can't wait for my own baby! ahhh.... seven months to go...

a new life

wondering who this cute boy is? well his name is Carl Vincent. He was the first born of my Kuya, and the first apo in our family. Being "first" he enjoyed all the love and attention from all of us. He is such a loving and thoughtful pamangkin to us and an adorable apo to his lolo and lola. though he now has two other siblings, Eivan Joseph and Eunice who are equally adorable kids, Vincent is still very much close to my heart.

Now that hubby and me were able to see an OB last weekend and know that our little baby is now 6 weeks and 6 days old, Vincent will soon be having a new playmate. we are so happy and can't thank God enough for this wonderful gift. this early, i am experiencing some back pains and cravings for some foods which i don't usually crave for before. the good thing is that morning sickness hasn't visited me yet and i wish, i hope and i pray that it will not come to me anymore. I can only pray that God give me and my baby good health and keep us safe everyday.


now i can say that popular line of Tuesday's song that goes like "...babae po ako".

A wonderful gift

After a couple of months hibernating, and thinking of what should i post here in my blog that is worth reading (well at least!), here it is now.

It was suppose to visit me middle of last month, but nothing came. I know something is wrong and I was feeling stranged a couple of weeks back. At the back of my mind, and in the bottom of my heart I am praying that my hunch be true.

When at last I had the courage to face it, I went to the nearest drug store and bought something that will surely help me unleashed some thoughts I have in mind.

But wait... before you think horrible things, all I am trying to say is that... I think I am a couple of weeks on the family way. At first I can't believe my eyes when I saw two purple lines, then I started counting, voila! I know and I can feel that our little bundle of joy is forming inside of me. I am very ecstatic and can't wait to share it with my husband. It was five in the morning and I woke up my sweety and asked " Love mo 'ko?" which he replied with "uh uhmm" while locking me up in his arms. I whispered to him "pregnant na ata ako" then suddenly he opened his eyes, looked at me straight and asked what was it again. Then I told him I had this test and that the result is two lines which means positive. I handed out to him the kit and when he saw it, he cried, and hugged me tight. I know it was tears of joy and both of us are very happy. Since it was the first Friday of the month, we hear mass and thank the Lord for this new blessing and asked Him to guide us in this new path, so that we'll be good parents to our child, that he or she be blessed with good health and wonderful personality when he/she grows up, and that our love ones will always be supportive of us.

I am yet to visit an OB but I am pretty sure that this is REAL. That there's a new life coming out soon, that our home will be filled with wonderful music from our little bundle of joy, that there will be little hands to hold on to and give us courage, peace and happiness in times when everything is not going right, and that there is a new wonderful person who will call us Mama and Papa.

Life is so good, and I am asking all of my friends, all of you who will get to read this to please pray for me and my child's safety everyday.

God bless us all!
