My Little Princess

When my husband and I suspected that I might be pregnant, I had mixed emotions… What if I "AM" pregnant, am I ready? Can I handle such big responsibility? I was confused, but half of me is happy, fulfilled and somewhat satisfied.

Then we bought a pregnancy test kit, IT’S POSITIVE!!! The first word that came out from my mouth was "HALA!!!", I sound really afraid that moment, while my husband was so excited. I saw the happiest man in the world on my husband’s face. We both wanted a baby and at that time I discover that He wanted it most.

I began taking precautions, I started to crave for different foods… The first food I craved for is fruit called peach. It was winter then, and peaches is a summer fruit in Japan so we could hardly find one… When we finally found one, "holla" it was so expensive, it costs 5 dollars each. But I hardly ate it, just 2 or 3 bites then I gave it to my husband, it satisfy me more when I saw him eating eat it.

Then, I begun craving for lemons, imagine having lemon without tequila… "whee" says the people around me as they notice how I ate lemon its like having a bite of potatoe fries, hehehe!!! Then, I craved for japanese noodle, called "udon", everytime my husband ask me, "What do you like to eat?" my answer is always "udon" and I mean everytime, in the morning, afternoon and evening. It was funny because every time I ate it, it seems firstime.

Of course, during the 1st trimester of my pragnacy there were still lots of anxieties, my first worries was that I dont know how to bath a baby, I never had an experience on that because I never had a chance to take care an infant before. I started asking form experienced ones, and they were very supportive.

My Baby on her 1st month…

On her 2nd month on my belly…

3rd month…see how she develops so fast…

4th, her back view…

do you see her smiling?

Then I never imagine, that visiting the OB-Gynecologist would be that exciting. Every visit is exciting… I have lots of questions like, "What were the developments on my baby this month?", "Is my baby bor or girl?", "Is my baby healthy?"… and something like that. The doctor said my baby is so healthy, with a lot of movements, she’s making. My baby’s heartbeat is the best music I’ve ever heard in my whole life so far.

It was on my fifth month when we finally found out that my baby is a girl, I was so happy. That’s what my husband and I prayed for, a healthy baby girl. Well, I know that baby is a gift from God, and any gender will do as long as the baby is healthy, but just imagining that I would be having a Baby girl, and I will put ribbons on her hair then let her wear cute pink baby dresses and accesories excites me so much.

Her last ultrasound… just a few more hours baby…. Can’t wait to see you.

A fter knowing that I am having a baby girl, it was then that we started shopping, preparing infant clothes and stuffs like that even made me cry. I can’t wait for the "BIG DAY"!

pose muna, habang nagsa-shopping!!!

As days goes by, I always imagine myself holding and kissing my little baby girl, I started talking to her inside my tummy,.. "Hey, you, my little princess, I’m your mommy, do you feel comfortable inside there?" Then, my little baby inside me will answer by her little movements, Oh it was fulfilling! My husband, coming home from work, would also talk to her, "Baby, have you been a good girl inside there? Huwag ka masyadong malikot ha…I love you baby…" Then he would kiss my tummy and then kiss me. Those moments brought me unexplainable happiness.

This is how big my tummy was…I am so proud being a preggy mom in this picture, when my little baby grew up, then starts to ask questions like "Mom, where did I came from?" I will let this picture answer for her.

Take a look of me and my proud husband… I read a book that says, Black and White is good for a new born baby, so I bought this panda stuff toy. We both can’t wait for the "BIG DAY" to come.

I am dued, December 4, 2005… but it’s already my due date and yet my little girl won’t feel like coming out!!! Maybe I think she knows that the winter season had just started, and it’ll be more comfortable for her if she will stay a little longer inside my belly. Pretty smart, don’t you think? But that started to worry us, we’ve been expecting her too much. So we went to the doctor and ask why, then we discover that I have to deliver my little girl on C-section. Why? Well, the doctor says, everything is fine and we had nothing to worry about the baby because she is perfectly healthy, the only problem is that my body hasn’t prepared yet for the "BIG DAY"… AND THE REST IS HISTORY.

her very first picture, 30 minutes after she was taken out of me, or should I say, after I "gave birth to her".

I can barely see my little girl here… Damn!!! Those hospitals can’t even afford to buy good cameras!!! Don’t they know that newborn babies’ first picture means a lot for parents?!

My new born Baby… We named her REIN MARIECE TOLEDO.

The very first time I held her in my arms… Here in Japan if you gave birth in C-section, unless you can stand up on your own, you are not allowed to hold or carry your baby. I can’t believe that she’s already in my arms.
