The overwhelming happiness of having a baby
The day that gave us many many more reasons to be happy and blessed was on April 26, 2017. I gave birth to our first born named Mia Victoria. I remember when I was at the delivery room, Im scared that I might not be able to push through a normal delivery because the contractions are very very painful. I was thinking maybe the OB-Gyne would choose an emergency cesarean section or forcep delivery. But thankfully, it all went well. The labor is approximately 6 hours from the time I was admitted to UERM Hospital. Then I woke up from the recovery room, thinking where would be the baby. I am doing the best I can so that I can be awake and they can transfer me to the room. I am so excited to meet my baby. All I know is that I’m feeling groggy, but I told the nurse that I’m not nauseous anymore. They transferred me to the room. But the baby is not yet there, she was in the nursery room and nurses are feeding her. I knew all along that they would be feeding her with formula milk because mothers who gave birth are staying for quite some time at the recovery room. They have no choice but to give formula milk to my child.
They delivered me to the room and my mom was there….I felt relieved to see her. I cried. She was always there to support me in everything or anything. She’s the best. I just realized how much my mom has suffered giving birth to all of us. I have four siblings...and she never worked after giving birth to our eldest. Dad wouldn’t allow her to work during those times because there would be no one to take care of us. And she has high risk for abortion that’s why it’ much better for her to stay at home for safety purposes. I’m just very thankful that my dad was able to provide for us. That gave me the idea how mothers really sacrifice for their child because some of them give up their work in order to take care of their child.
Family and close friends came by to see our child. Everyone was excited and happy to meet and greet the new member of our family. Blessings are overflowing. We are grateful for the Lord has blessed us with a healthy baby girl. I’m also very thankful that I’m doing fine, I have stitches but that’s my least priority during those times.
The most awaited meeting has gone. My husband is now a daddy and I’m a mom. I cannot believe it. I was just worried of how I can manage everything..being a mom, being a wife.. I was thinking of how I can be a good mom and wife at the same time. As time passes by, I came to appreciate my mom everyday and I always hug her, showing how much I love her.
Being a mom is the most fulfilling, most rewarding, most precious thing that could be experienced by a woman. I am very thankful to the Lord that He gave me this opportunity to become a mom. It’s now our chance to take care of our child and make the most of it because children grows too fast.
