Motherhood (Mommy moments)

admin — Sun, 30 May 2010 04:21:59 +0000

There’s nothing else I want to say except I am very blessed to be a mother of my 2 angels. They are gifts from God!
God’s vision for Motherhood
10 [a] A wife of noble character who can find?
She is worth far more than rubies.

11 Her husband has full confidence in her
and lacks nothing of value.

12 She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life.

13 She selects wool and flax
and works with eager hands.

14 She is like the merchant ships,
bringing her food from afar.

15 She gets up while it is still dark;
she provides food for her family
and portions for her servant girls.

16 She considers a field and buys it;
out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.

17 She sets about her work vigorously;
her arms are strong for her tasks.

18 She sees that her trading is profitable,
and her lamp does not go out at night.

19 In her hand she holds the distaff
and grasps the spindle with her fingers.

20 She opens her arms to the poor
and extends her hands to the needy.

21 When it snows, she has no fear for her household;
for all of them are clothed in scarlet.

22 She makes coverings for her bed;
she is clothed in fine linen and purple.

23 Her husband is respected at the city gate,
where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.

24 She makes linen garments and sells them,
and supplies the merchants with sashes.

25 She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.

26 She speaks with wisdom,
and faithful instruction is on her tongue.

27 She watches over the affairs of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness.

28 Her children arise and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:

29 “Many women do noble things,
but you surpass them all.”

30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
Proverbs 31:10-30 (N I V)

Well it’s not summer here yet in my side of world. It’s only the beginning of spring but one day last week actually 3 days feels like July summer. I took my baby to the riverside park that day and we both enjoy strolling by the river. There were lots of birds like seagull and geese. It was a great day indeed!

New Favorite (Mommy Moments)

admin — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 01:17:18 +0000

Hello my fellow bloggers, how are you this week? It’s time to post Mommy Moments again. Our theme for this week is “New favorite”. My entry for this week is about my daughter’s new favorite which is baking and dress up. My daughter started going for cooking/baking lesson since last year. She was 4 years old by then. She loves it so she keeps going now every month. It cost 8 dollars for an hour or so. In the pictures they were making cupcakes and decorate it.

Another favorite of my daughter is dressing up with her new princess outfits. She got that chest that she’s sitting on from her Grandma and Grandpa last Christmas. That chest is full of princess clothes and accessories.

New Year’s lists (Mommy Moments)

admin — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 23:50:10 +0000

Happy New Year everyone! I have a feeling that 2010 will be a good year for all of us and for my family. The year 2009 was a very difficult for most us around the world because of recession and natural disasters like typhoons, hurricanes, and etc. But even though it was difficult I’m still thankful and grateful to God for all the blessings that he has given us especially my adorable son

Well these are some of my New Year’s lists:
Stay away from Credit cards and hopefully no more debts this year.
I was planning to go back to work when my son turns 6 months but looks like I changed my mind. I can’t bear leaving him alone. It breaks my heart. Now my plan is stay with him till he turns 1 year.
We are planning to enroll my daughter for Skating and take her more for swimming. I also plan to take my son for swimming as well.
My daughter will graduate Preschool too in the summer and she will be in grade 1 this fall. That will make her really busy.
That’s all I can think of right now! Have a blessed weekend everyone!!!

Mommy Moments “Precious Moment -Birth Story”

This is new entry for me since I just joined 3 weeks ago and this would be my favorite entry! hehehe! Sorry!

This is my very first miracle and precious story and definitely a mommy moment entry. This is also a very emotional and inspirational as well. It was Saturday September 18, 2004, at 5:00 AM in the morning when I heard my water break and felt a gush. I woke up Brad and told him what was happening and asked him to see what was gushing out because I was afraid to look at it. He confirmed that it was water. I was afraid it would be something else. I felt a little bit of discomfort. I asked Brad to wake up my mother and tell her what was going on. She was wondering why there was no pain at all with my water broken. I guess, based on her experience she was expecting lots of blood and pain.
At around 5:20 am we called the Midwife. I went to the shower while waiting for the Midwife. The Midwife came and checked on me. She listened to the baby’s heartbeat and it was fine. She hesitated to perform an IE because my water had broken. Infection was an issue. While I was in the bathroom, Brad and the Midwife discussed what to do. Brad asked the Midwife if it was possible the counting was incorrect. Base on my LMP as January 08, 2004 I’m 36 + 1 day, or one month early. The Midwife wasn’t sure if I was in labor so she suggested we go to the hospital. We were not ready at all. We had to pack our things from scratch obviously all in very short time. By then I was feeling pain. After we finished packing we went to Guelph General Hospital. The pain was getting more intense and longer. I had to stop walking because I couldn’t walk with the pain anymore. By the time we got to the hospital it was around 7:00. Brad and my mother tried to get me a wheelchair. I didn’t want to because I felt it made me feel like I was incapable. Anyway, we had to find the examining room on the sixth floor. My Midwife and a student Midwife were waiting for us. I changed into a hospital gown which I didn’t like at all.

A resident Obstetrician came and checked on me. He did a quick scan with a portable ultrasound. The placental position was OK and everything else was OK. An IE was performed and I was 3cms. So we moved to my room which was a private room. Wow, I did my labor and delivery in that room! I am very glad that I had my own private room just for me and my baby, and my family of course.
Well, it has been difficult for all of us. Emotions were so obvious: fear, anger, excitement. It was a surprise. I prayed to God that everything would be fine. I was so afraid but I tried to be calm. Brad was so stressed out. We planned to have a homebirth but it didn’t happen.

My labor continued, the pain was getting more intense. I tried different positions: sitting on a ball, in a rocking chair, standing, walking, kneeling in bed, but I ended up lying on my side. Brad was there the whole time rubbing my back. And my Midwives were there too. My Midwife transfered me to an Obstetrician.

The Obstetrician came and checked on me. He found I was 3 cms still. On the other hand I was coping with pain naturally. No pain mangement/ reliever. Brad continously massaged my back. When the doctor came back to check on me again I was 5 cms. The contractions were getting stronger. I was still lying on my side. When the doctor came back for the third time I was fully dilated. The doctor told me to push about three times and the baby was born at 2:15 pm in the afternoon. She was a beautiful little baby girl. Brad cut the cord and then the Midwife and Nurse checked the apgar score, vital signs. They gave her to Brad. And Brad put her on my abdomen. Brad was very proud about being the first to hold Abigail. He said it was very special for him. They referred Abigail to a pediatrician to make sure everything was okay. The pediatrician came and checked Abigail. He said that she was perfect.
His letter stated:
Physical exam revealed a well looking infant, pink and in no distress. The anterior fontanelle was normal. Palate was normal. Both clavicles were present. Chest and cardiovascular exams were normal. Abdominal exam revealed a soft , nondistended abdomen with no organomegaly. CNS exam was normal. Both hips were stable.

In summary, this is near term female infant born naturally at 36+ weeks of gestation. The infant seems to be doing quite well. I suggested to do a baseline blood sugar on the infant and to keep the baby for the time being with Mom.
Conclusion:
We are very happy and blessed to have Abigail Faith in our life. She is a miracle to us. When I hold and look at her I can’t help myself but cry thanking God how blessed we are for giving us this beautiful baby. I think about that baby we lost and how much I miss her/him. And I thank God that Abby is here with us forever.
