Danielle's First Gift

We won the best team for the month of February. As an incentive our team was given GC.  Our TL decided to give 500 worth of GC to each one of us in the team.  One of my team mate Jack decided to give her GC to me as a gift for my baby girl.  It was Danielle's first gift. Below is the picture of what I bought for her.  Thank you very much Jacquilyn! (I'm not sure if I spelled your name right.

Its a Baby Girl

Since David is already 3 yrs old my husband and I decided last year to stop my quarterly injection to have a second child.  God listen to our plea and we find out that I am pregnant last November.  

I am on my 6th months of pregnancy now.  Earlier we went to Las Pinas Medical Center for my ultra sound to find out the gender of our baby.  I really want to thank God for hearing our prayer not just to have a 2nd baby but to have a girl this time.  Truly God listens to His children.  

The doctor who did the ultra sound is also a christian and is attending the same church where we go to, CCF Alabang.  He said to his assistant that we should not think of the things that we don't have but rather think of the things that we have and be thankful.  He mention that we should be thankful for every little things that we have like the free air that we breathe, waking up every morning, for our senses etc.  He actually invited us to look for a D-group in the church so that we can grow spiritually. D-group is a small group in the church who gathers together to study the word of God and pray for each other.  

I send a text message to my mom and best friend Jannette about the result and both of them gave me a congrats.  My mother said she will have two little girls to put pony tail on since my sister in law give birth to a girl last February. Our family is growing and I thank God for his marvelous works in our lives. 

My Treasures

Because my shift is from 11pm to 8am I usually sleep around 11am to 7pm. This past few days I am having a hard time sleeping because of the heat. Since its already summer the temperature is too high. We don't have air conditioner at home and I am only using an electric fan. Most of the time I would wake up in the middle of my sleep because of getting irritated.

Yesterday I was awaken not by the temperature but by the loud cry of my son, David. It was raining outside so I thought he was afraid of the thunder. It was about 5 in the afternoon. Usually he and his dad would go to the basketball court near our house and eat "merienda." I looked around and saw Robin fixing our clothes outside so that it will not get wet by the rain.

I cuddled my son and asked him "Why are you crying?" He said, while tears are flowing in his eyes, "Baka patay daddy, kuryente cia" ( "Daddy might get kill by the lightning"). Its not really a hard rain and the possibility of getting hit by lightning is very very little. Maybe 0.000000001%. His reason for crying may seem non-sense for others but to me its means a lot.

His answer makes me realized how much he loves his father. He is really crying because he doesn't want to lose hid dad. It touches my heart and I guess it somewhat awakens the love I have for my husband. I actually got worried when he said he would climb the roof to remove some dirt. I told him to be careful because he might fall.

Robin and David are my treasures. Me and Robin have arguments and misunderstanding most of the time. He is not perfect. Even if I'm the only one working for our family and others look at it in a bad way, I do love him. He may not be the provider but he is a good father to my son and husband to me.

My little boy, David, is our gift from God. With his smile, hugs and kisses I am getting strength and courage to keep on going. No matter what happen I will do my best to have this family complete and not be broken by any circumstances. I am willing to take all the pain and hardship for them. Few months from now I will give birth to another child which would be part of this wonderful treasure that I have. (I have teary eyed when I wrote the last part of this. I guess when I talked about my family my heart gets really soft). I want to thank God for His guidance and love that He continue to shower over us.

My Second Gift

I really thank God with my little boy, David.  He is now 3 yrs old. I remember when he was newly born. He was so tiny, so soft that I was afraid to carry him.  Time really goes very fast. He now talks a lot and ofcourse it touches my heart every time he would come to me and hug me and say "i love you mommy."  Just like other kids he is sometimes very naughty that causes me to spank him but tears from his eyes softens my heart.  I would need to control my feelings to be able to discipline him.  He will go to nursery school by next year and I am really excited about it.  Seeing him with school uniform and going home with good stories from what happen in school.  One more thing that excites me by next year would be a new baby.  I just find out last week that I am pregnant.  This would be my second precious gift from God.  Since I already have a little boy , I pray that this time it would be a girl.  My husband is also looking for a baby girl.  One thing that I don't like about getting pregnant is getting fat, I guess its part of it.  I want to thank God for all the blessings that we have and especially for this new life in my womb.
