Having a baby...

"Somebody said it takes about six weeks to get back to normal after you've had a baby... that somebody doesn't know that once you're a mother, "normal" is history. "


Being a mom is more than just stretchmarks and losing your pregnancy weight. It's far more than that. I guess its true that whenever a new baby is born, a new parent's born. August 13, 2007 was the big day because it was the day I get to take my baby home with me after 2 months of going back and forth to the hospital just to visit him. He is still small for his age but I convinced the pediatrician that I can take care of the baby already. With all effort and will power I did.


Its true when they say "pag me baby puyatan.." and I've experience that first hand. I'm a hands-on mom to Corby now with the guidance of my mother of course. I never realize that being a mother is such a great task and you'll need to sacrifice a lot of things but at the same time the feeling is awesome.. its fulfilling.

I know what you must be thinking right now "this is not the apol i used to know". Right, I've changed after having a baby. I'm more focus about my baby now than myself. I don't even get a chance to go online everyday like the way I used to.

Even before I wanted to have a baby, even without a father, hehehehe lucky me, I have both. I often lack sleep and I can't just go out like the way I used to because I would need to consider my baby, whose gonna take care of him.

I used to tell my friends that I don't have patience when it comes to a crying baby, 5minutes would be long enough for me, but now that I have corby, my patience is stretch all the way to the sky.... I am so happy and I thank the Lord for giving me Corbin.
