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 does 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...

On January 12, 2010 he is one year old, though not walking on his own yet, I felt more relaxed, meaning I can leave Sam to anybody, I don't worry much of anything already. He needs to learn to trust other people I suppose. I went back to singing in the choir so every Sunday he is with his papa, aunties or anyone from the church who'd like to play with him.

Last March 21, '10, he had his first swimming in my home town, he loved the water ( babies do I guess, hehehe) and the sand... His papa likes to enroll him in a swimming school already but I think a mini-pool made of rubber will do at the moment. Next year...

June 3, '10, I am now relaxed, Sam is 16 months already. I am enjoying him to the fullest!
