1 Reason Why I Don’t Let JUST Anyone Babysit My Baby

This is so horrible that I don’t want those people who have heart disease see this because it may affect them so much. I am really angry to the woman in this video that showers the baby. If killing is not a sin, I would have killed this woman already. This video is really heart-breaking.

I got this video from a friend in facebook. I grabbed it and upload it in my photobucket account and here it is…

Fear of Giving Birth

I will soon give birth to my 4th baby this coming last week of October or 1st week of November but even though this is my 4th time, I am feeling the fear of pain caused by labour. I think about it too much and I really want to get rid of that feelings. I want to think positive or just think that this will be the last and this will be a pretty baby, the sister of Kassandra Ghiege, Christel Bern and Quince Glory. 3 Pretty girls of my life.

CC: Labor, Delivery and Bring Home Baby

When I gave birth to Chloe Nina Marie by c- section last June 27,2009 , it took me about 32 hours before I see her. It is because I need to have full rest due to the incision.  Aside from being cut horizontally below the navel and just above the mount pubis, other reason that the duration of meeting the mother and child took that long was the fact that  she was being observed due to feeding problem.  She vomited the formulated milk which was given to her. When I knew this, I am really eager to see her if she is ok. I wanted to nurse her.

It was Sunday evening of June 29 when the nurse told me to go to nursery room to breastfeed the baby. Me and my husband did not waste time upon hearing the news that we were allowed to see her. I still felt a little of dizziness. But I need to stand and walk to the room. The feeling of being a mother was really evident at that very moment.  My husband requested a wheelchair so I could use it.  When we reached at room 314,  my heart really beats so fast, the eagerness to she her face on how she looks like, whether she’s complete and healthy. When I enter the room, I noticed that she was the only baby left in that room. All the babies were sent to their respected mother. The nurse told me to wash the hands and changed. I wore a duster with an overlap opening in front of the chest so this would be easy to breastfeed; head cap and mask. She gave me piece of wet cotton and instructed me to clean the areola. When I am done, she took my baby from hospital crib. The baby cried. It my second time that I have seen her face. (The first was when she came out). She so cute and small. I am afraid to hold her. The nurse assured me just to hold her. The time I cuddle her in my arms, mother instinct prevails. The nurse helped me in breastfeeding. I don’t know how to let her latch on. She kept on touching the face of my baby to motive her to latch my small nipple. Still baby Chloe cried a loud. I kept on saying that I am her mother. I am here. I really looked her straight to her eyes. I can’ t help it, I wanted to cry. I felt that I am really a complete woman. I wanted her to latch on so she could drink my milk. But still she kept on crying. I imagine, how many hours that she hasn’t feed. I talked to her slowly. I let her understand why she needs to be feed in my breast. I let her understand that if we let her relay on formulated milk, we can’t afford to buy it. After that talk, she latched on. Since it was my first time to breastfeed, I felt the pain. However, I need to give priority to her needs. After about 5 minutes, she cried again. She cried because I don’t have enough milk supply. I feed  her using the formulated milk. The hospital doesn’t allow to use a bottle feed. So, I just use a dropper. When she was full, the nurse told me to let her burp. This is to avoid extra gas that could upset her stomach that leads to constant crying. After burping, she was placed back to the crib. I asked the nurse if  the baby was allowed to room in. She replied that she has to wait for the signal of the doctor. After this conversation, me and my husband together with my co teacher went back to the room. As we were about to reached the room,  I tried to walk without using the wheelchair so I could be strong and ready to take care my baby. Two hours after I went to the nursery room, the nurse told us to go back to the nursery room for the baby was now ready to roomed in.  Excitement and nervousness were being felt at that time. Excited for, I could cuddle  and nurse the baby; nervous for we are first time parents. We didn’t know what to do. So, we called my mother to help us in taking care the baby. When we went back to the nursery room, the nurse told me that the baby will be roomed in for she was the only one left, then the room will be used by other patient. I found it out that room was not really the nursery room, it was just a temporary room. Two things that came up in my mind, the reason that they allowed my daughter to be transferred in my room was she left alone. Consumption of electricity and nurse’s duty were the factors that may lead to an increase of hospital’s expenditures? or they just wanted the parents  to took care and face their responsibilities. Nevertheless, I was happy that finally I got my baby.

I could never forget that night June 28 , 201o, that was my first encounter with my baby Chloe. The night that was  full of hopes, joy, and happiness felt by a first time parents.

After 5 days July 1, I finally brought her in our home. We were so happy to have her.

I felt guilty

As Ms. Anna presented this during our celebration, I really felt guilty. I was about to cry when I read the entire message.

This is a wakeup call to all sons and daughter who happens to be neglecting their parents. In my case, my mother is still at her 50’s. This message makes me realize how important the understanding and taking care of our parents as they get old. Some of us take them literally but not that with understanding.

Take time to read it, especially when you are alone.



Dear Son, Dear Daughter!!!The most amazing bloopers are here

The Father who is Hero to All

As the sperms and eggs unite to form a zygote, it may be xx for female or xy for male. If the sperm carries an x gene while the egg carries a y so, the zygote will be male. However, if the sperm carries an x gene while the egg carries an x so, the zygote will be a female. This is what we called fertilization. After fertilization, implantation would happen. Until it became a fetus then after nine months as the fetus will be delivered by the mother, baby will goes out in this world. Fertility rate will be counted. Responsibilities will be added. Everything in his/her ecology will be changed.

In every seconds, four babies will be born. This is the fertility rate in the world. That means in every hour, there will be 15,346 babies born. Consequently, there are a lot of people in the entire world. These are the reasons that there are a lot of changes that happen in our community and well as our selves. The change may bring drastic effect in our lifestyle. Likewise, the effects will make us violate our power or accept this as a gift.

In every person accounts a lot of responsibilities of being oneself, father, mother, son or daughter. He/ she may accepts this with neither full of heart nor ignore it without any explanation. One of the scriptures that I have read goes this way.

The man who lives in the fear of God is conscious that “the eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good” (Prov. 15:3), therefore is he conscientious about his private conduct as well as his public. The one who is deterred from committing certain sins because the eyes of men are upon him, and who hesitates not to commit them when alone, is destitute of the fear of God. So too the man who moderates his language when Christians are about him, but does not so at other times, is devoid of God’s fear. He has no awe-inspiring consciousness that God sees and hears him at all times. The truly regenerate soul is afraid of disobeying and defying God. Nor does he want to. No, his real and deepest desire is to please Him in all things, at all times, and in all places. His earnest prayer is “Unite my heart to fear thy name” (Psa. 86:11).

I wonder why some mothers abandoned their son/ daughter. Most especially if the baby has a defect. The common answers why they abandoned them because of destitution life. So, why keep on making love where they can’t afford to give life on that small blood in her womb? How pity they would be? Indeed, lots of report over the radio, television, newspaper depicting irresponsible parents.

Earlier, I mentioned about the word baby with defects. In our country, we have less opportunity in taking care with type of baby since we don’t have that technology. Not like the western country. But what we have is never ending love and care those we able to shower to our beloved child. We really tend to offer this as a gift from heaven and a test of faith. A firmer trust in God’s sufficiency. Whatsoever or whomsoever a man most trusts in is his “god.” Some trust in health, others in wealth; some in self, others in their friends. That which characterizes all the unregenerate is that they lean upon an arm of flesh. But the election of grace have their hearts drawn from all creature supports, to rest upon the living God. God’s people are the children of faith. The language of their hearts is, “O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed” (Psa. 25:2). and again, “Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him” (Job 13: 15). They rely upon God to provide, protect and bless them. They look to an unseen resource, count upon an invisible God, lean upon a hidden Arm.

Responsible parents will accept anything, everything about their child. No matter on what he is, or who he is. This is because the love of parents is bond with a lot of sacrifices, faith and perseverance.

I would like to share to you the story of Dick and Rick , who happens to be my all time hero. No one can beat their tandem in struggling lives as one.
