My dearest husband is celebrating his special day today. I’d like to take this time to personally thank him for putting up with all my unlovable traits and for hearing me out all the time. We’ve had a rough past few years, I’m glad we’re still together. I’m sorry I’m broke right now and so I wasn’t able to get you anything, but when I get my blessings I’ll definitely get you something (I’m checking out cool husband or boyfriend gift ideas). Love you babe! Try to live a healthy lifestyle so there’d be more birthday candles to blow.
I just turned 30, a few days ago. Somehow, I don’t feel like 30. As they say, age is just a number. On the other hand, i came across an id picture of mine way back 10 years ago, and boy do I look so much younger then! It’s a wake up call! Here are some of my resolution for this new year of my life:
Have facials 2x a month, which was an old routine.
It’s a special day today, because it’s my loving dad’s birthday! He’s in his mid-fifties. I pray that the Lord will continue to bless him so that he can live at a ripe, old age and enjoy his grand children (only one for now) and I pray that he sees the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
With all of my heart, I love you Dad.
For other miracles today: my little boy said the word “mommy” twice. Praise God!
As one of my friends commented on my Facebook wall, I’m now officially in the late 20s. A few more minutes and my birthday will be over. And in just a matter of minutes, my husband and I will be celebrating our third year wedding anniversary. 24 hours after we celebrate those three years of blessed and wonderful union, it will be my husband’s turn to blow a candle on a birthday cake.
So what transpired today now that I turned 29? No birthday cake this year, didn’t feel the need to despite the fact that in my book a birthday is not a birthday if there’s no cake. What I’d like to remember for this day is the fact that today, my son had his first OT (Occupational Therapy) Session. The first of many to come. Why does he need that? That will be for another post.
Anyway, that’s all for now. Will head off to the shower before I go to bed.
2 years ago, at about this time, I remember agonizing over my inability to urinate. I was told that by 10pm I was supposed to be able to urinate and empty my bladder. However, my urethra was traumatized because of giving birth. After 10 excruciating hours at the delivery room, I guess it could be expected. No, I will not come up with my birthing story for this post, that will have to be an entirely different post. Nonetheless, I feel that this day should not pass without me coming up with an entry. Never mind the fact that I still have not fully organized this blog. This day, albeit ordinary to most, is one special day for me and my family. This day marks the day, when the Lord finally gifted us with our precious little boy.
To my son,
All the nuisance and difficulties I had to go through, especially the pains of childbirth, was all worth it. It was a cheap price for me to pay in exchange for that very first time I gazed upon your lovely little face. When you came out, the 2 nurses cleaned you up and after wiping you clean quite quickly, they placed you closer to me to give you a kiss. You were wailing real hard, but when I said “hi Nathan.”, you suddenly stopped crying as if things were suddenly all right because you know mommy’s there.
When you grow up, you will realize that mom and dad can’t do everything, and yet I pray that even so, you will grow up in the knowledge that no matter what, your dad and I will do everything we can to give you the best that we can. I want you to know always that you are special, and precious and loved for exactly the way you are, no more, no less and don’t ever let any body make you feel otherwise.
Praise God!
