A Breath of Thanks

i just feel warm and fuzzy all over….

i texted friends (a.k.a. ‘prayer-warriors’) to pray for me and my baby boy’s upcoming delivery. and i was not disappointed. most of them shared their joy and excitement for the 4th-time mom (that’s ME!). i feel so overwhelmed by the thought that I AM NOT ALONE in this journey towards motherhood x4! it’s a sweet thought realizing that even time, distance and circumstances won’t keep us apart.

God has been generous enough to give me my family of choice: MY FRIENDS.

on another thought:

i feel so blessed for having my KIDS! my Ate and Kuya’s are all very supportive of mommy’s pregnancy. i feel that they take care of me more than they ever did… and for that i feel most BLESSED!

Ate Chloe, most of all, has been my  sidekick. she is my ‘Robin‘ in Batman and Robin, my ‘Ding‘ in Darna, my ‘Chitae‘ in Starzan (i don’t think she will agree, hehe…). she’s ALWAYS there for me, at my beck and call, and according to my whim and wishes. the best part of being a mom to a girl is that you always have someone to share your thoughts without doubt or second thoughts. you know that when you talk to HER as honestly and candidly as you can, SHE WILL ALWAYS UNDERSTAND what’s going on in that heart of yours. at least, that what i think about My Baby Girl… i still call her Baby Girl coz i know that she will always be my one and only baby girl in this planet.

my two boys are my  back-up support nowadays. Kuya Zoe is the more gentleman among the two as he really would take pleasure in carrying heavy bags and load. he really takes effort in opening doors and assisting me on the way down the car or bus, like a true blue gentleman. Troe on the other hand is the errand boy you can trust. but being the youngest, he still loves cuddling and hugging, and would sometimes sleep beside me at night. 

and Daddy never fail to kiss my overbulged tummy each night before he goes to sleep and when he wakes up in the morning. i can feel his excitement grow everyday and as time goes by makes me feel loved and awed. i love him more today than i did yesterday…

my Nanay, other siblings and pamangkins are also very supportive. i get chat and text messages of love and support everyday. my nuclear family never failed to amaze me with their undying support.

as for my office friends and colleagues, they too made me realize the value of camaraderie and trust. and that in any organization, your job goes beyond what is essential. if they feel that you can be depended on for little things, they will extend the same to you at no extra cost. my work has been a blessing for so many reasons, and the most important of which is for the health of my family. being in this organization made me realize how secure my health and most of all, my family’s health is, because that’s what we provide to many…

there are still a mountainload of things to be thankful for that only the Father knows. and i give Him all the blessings and honor!
