one and only lang son namin... i had difficulty kasi nung pinagbubuntis ko sya... me heart problem ako... kaya sobrang sheltered talaga sya especially sa hubby ko... para sa kanya lahat ng pinaghihirapan namin... He makes us complete.

first and second baby was unplanned...but now we're very very much happy and we're planning to have a baby again...

[Honda97]

We planned to have a baby around 6 months after we got married. My wife got pregnant 3 months after our wedding.

I guess it was somewhat planned but not rigidly planned. We were happy and at the same time anxious that our lives would never be the same again.

Now that our son is almost two, we look at him with awe at how much he's grown. I can't even imagine not being a daddy. We are so happy he came into our lives.

[Memphis Raines]

At first, I never could imagine myself being a Daddy but then when I clutched our princess for the first time I just felt this very light feeling inside...pure bliss! We are looking forward to having more

why do i have kids??

being a woman...i think its the pinnacle(spell?)...the ultimate goal...to bear your husband's children..

the funny thing is...when i was young til before i got married...i hate little kids..wala akong pasensha...i dont even hold them...

i was the first to get married...and the first baby i was able to cradle is my own son...di pa ko marunong...but when i held him..ibang iba..kako...walang ibang pwedeng humawak sayo...ako lang....and so i did...i gave up my job to take care of them...

it's ok to enjoy your life now..ideally..ganyan naman talaga dapat...to be able to get to know each other better w/o the hassles of parenting...

BUT...at the end of the day...you'll find yourself looking for an ultimate direction...a focus...and surely...after that you'll probabaly decide to have one.

i used to love kids even when i'm not married yet. all my nephews and niece naranasan kong alagaan kaya naman ng magkaanak na kami ng misis ko medyo sanay na rin sa paghawak at pag-aalaga ng bata. i'm the eldest but i'm the last one to get married. during my vacation lang ako nagkakaroon ng chance alagaan mga anak ko, that's why i make sure na i'm always with them all the time i had. we go out, eat and played together with my wife. all what i have is for them. they are my treasures.

When we got married parang ilang ako sa idea of having kids agad. Syempre enjoy muna married life diba? Pero curious na rin ako kung kanino kamukha. Ayun naging honeymoon baby tuloy hehe :D

I can relate to "nawawala ang pagod pag-uwi sa bahay." Kahit na nasabon sa opisina, naipit sa trafik, may nakaaway na jeepney driver, may bote pang i-sterilize, diaper na papalitan, pwet na huhugasan, atbp, nawawala pagod ko when I see my son's two lower front teeth exposed by a silly ear to ear grin. My son also helps a lot in patching up marital disputes kasi my wife and I know that we have to be strong for him.

BTW, halo features nya. Ulo tsaka noo akin. Buti na lang mukha kay misis hehe.

+1 ako ako sa halos lahat ng nasabi mo lalo na dun sa kung sino kamukha hehehehe. we almost had a honeymoon baby kaso no heartbeat kata ndi natuloy. then the follwing pregnancy eh blighted ovum. third one is a lucky one. baba (chin) nakuha sa akin ni baby. pati nanay ko eh nagconcede na hehehe.

yung diaper, sterilize, etc. is very true.
