25-5-2009 - on being a mother

My mood while writing this blog: Ok

---

At long last I am a mother! After ten years of being married, two miscarriages, and two failed IUIs we conceived naturally( oh, the power of prayers) in May 2008.

On january 12, 2009 I gave birth to my son, he is premature due to preeclampsia, after more than four months I feel I am so overprotective of him, it is because I don't want him to get sick and to hear him crying would be difficult for me to handle, maybe when he can talk already I would be a bit relaxed, hopefully.

I get angry when joel or my sister or anyone for that matter do not wash their hands first before picking-up/cuddling Sam. I am afraid of dengue, of A(H1N1), of SIDS, of him getting sick... But, I know worrying won't do any good, maybe being careful and lots of prayers will.

Being over protective is just normal .I had a difficult time with my second daughter due to her showing small for dates while i was carrying her .
She arrived safely on 21 April 2009 ,but i feel i am very protective of her .It is important to me that she grows well and the slightest thing i get her checked out .
I know this gets better the older your baby gets and the bigger and stronger they get .
Just do as i do enjoy eveything ,they grow so fast .Dont let your worrying spoil your enjoyment .
Your son is gorgeous and so healthy looking .
