Life with a one-month old
It’s been one month since my belly was sliced, (haha!) and that part is still a little numb. I read an article about the “feelings” after undergoing C-Section, and I’m honestly relieved the weird feeling is normal for a month or two (actually depends). I just posted this late, but today, Mneme’s officially one month old. It’s really thrilling and exciting, but to be honest, I’m scared she’ll grow up so fast. I admit, when people used to tell me “they grow up so fast”, I never believed them. Now, I could not agree more, I cannot believe I already have a one-month old little human! Her development makes me…

Cute without the E
One of the things women sacrifice for their pregnancy is her body. Once you embrace the life growing inside of you, you let go of the slim, flawless body you have. Fine, they say you’ll get it back. But it’s never certain. It’s never the same. Today was the first time I saw my incision. Yes. Two weeks I never dared to look or even touch it, even when it still had that something covering it. I was afraid I’ll feel the pain when I see it. Whenever I took a bath, I just let the liquid soap and the water flow pass it and let my sister clean the…

April 18, 2018 1240H
A week ago, at exactly 12:40 in the afternoon, I gave birth to Mneme. It was, by far, the happiest day of my life. Imagine giving life to another human, all your selfishness will fade. Iisipin mo nalang lagi sya, anong gusto nya, anong maganda para sakanya, anong ikakabuti nya, and all. Having a child changed my way of seeing things and prioritizing them. Sobrang saya nung araw na yon. Well, aside from being nervous about how the doctor would cut through me (lol) and, of course, the worries for Mneme as she accepts the challenge of life. Especially when I heard her first cry, I literally felt my heart jump.…

Week 23: What I learned
The past week was not-so-good for me and Toyo. Well, not okay especially for me. One of those hell weeks, really. Now, I;m on my 23rd week of pregnancy, and I;m not super happy. I just uninstalled all my social media apps from my phone supposedly to avoid stress from those stupid fake news and articles. I loved reading, don’t expect me to just scroll up and down the timeline without reading anything posted on it plus the comments. Yeah, my bad. So I decided to ditch those apps also to limit myself on using phone during pregnancy. They say it’s actually not that bad, but better to limit yourself from it.…

Week 22: So how’s it going?
“You never understand life until it grows inside of you. -Sandra Chami Kassis” I was never ready. As I shared on my previous post, I hate kids. Nang-aaway pa nga ako minsan. So that was one of my worries when I first knew about it. Not that I didn’t want to have kids, I just thought I don’t have enough patience for those little children. Kaya nga rin hindi ko pinangarap maging teacher, ayoko kasi sa matitigas ang ulo. But honestly, when one of my scholl teachers asked us for an essay about our life plans, or whenever anyone asks on what age would I want to have my own…
