Bliss of Motherhood
The thing I miss most about my motherhood is nursing… It was such a wonderful experience for me.... the closeness, the bond, and the knowledge that I was doing the best that I could for her at the time, which somehow, now, it never seems like I can do enough for her...I feel sorry for myself (and my...

Motherhood Smile On Me
I read somewhere that women in Canada are given a year’s maternity leave, three months of which are paid. After a year, they can expect to have a job waiting for them. Wow!
I cried when I left my first baby to get back to work at which point my father-in-law took me aside and reminded me that I had to pull myself together to work for milk, diapers and seventeen years of tuition fees.
On A Happy Mother’s Day
The months just keep on flying by ....
Happy 19 months old AZUMI!
There were many moments throughout 19 months when at the end of the day, I was thinking that being a mom to Azumi is the biggest, funniest, scariest, most challenging, most important, most fulfilling and the best job I've ever had....

Accident happens all the time – Teen pregnancy
Teen pregnancy is when an under aged teen (around 13-19 years old) becomes pregnant. This crisis robs them of their chance at enjoying womanhood. Since having a baby to take care of are worlds apart from being able to spend time for oneself being an adult. This is mostly the downfall of women when in comes to their future careers. The only thing they can do about this is to face it and be responsible. The good thing about this is it’s just an obstruction. An obstruction is something that one can overcome.
It is very important that if a teenager finds out she is pregnant she immediately seek out help, through a visit with a doctor or counselor who can answer her queries and provide proper medical attention. As a friend to someone who got his girlfriend pregnant, I can say that my friend made the right choice of NOT hiding the situation. They were open with it. They answered honestly to anyone asking them about their situation. But, at the same time, they just didn’t open the topic to anyone unless they would ask. The nice thing about what they did was they wouldn’t feel ashamed with people around them. They wouldn’t wonder about what other people are thinking about them or if those people know about their situation. My friend is saving money and works very hard with his responsibility in mind. Even after what happened, they may have been surprised by the situation, but it doesn’t mean they can’t build a good family. Growing their family is in their hand. It is very important to be responsible in this kinds of situation.
Being a young mother is difficult. One doesn’t have the time to learn the appropriate responsibility to be a mom yet. They are force to learn to be responsible of not just themselves but of their family and their future baby. Instead, one is forced to be a responsible mother rather than to slowly learn it through womanhood. That is why it is a good thing to get consultation from doctors on what to do. Basic education on baby care, child health and family health is important.
A baby is a wonderful thing when the parents are well planned to have one. But if it was unplanned and one has only 9 months to prepare, it would be almost traumatic. Baby care is very essential, since babies are fragile. Since they are still young and haven’t developed immunities to certain common diseases, aside from the vaccine they were given, they are very delicate and are very prone to sickness. They also require a lot of time since they cannot take care of themselves and all they can do to get you to notice them is to cry. So basically, a teen mom would need to quit school and would need to take care of their baby instead of getting a job.
But this doesn’t mean that see can’t have a good future. If they become responsible and still love each other, they can go conquer the problem and build a good future for their family.
Baby For Sale
Any takers?
So we thought we were ‘adopting’ a baby come January. Turns out that the pregnant young girl was looking for more than just a set of adoptive parents for her child, she is looking for a set of fools who will not just adopt her baby but also be party to her crime by buying her baby for a cheap price: PhP20,000 (US$400).

God’s Best Gift Is Not For Me
Sometime in May this year, I had the privilege of listening to a Dr. John MacArthur sermon (mp3) about motherhood and he mentioned something in passing which struck me and stuck with me ever since. Today, I would like to share those words here with the hope of extending comfort to those who, like me, struggle with the pain of unexplained infertility.
John MacArthur was talking about Hannah in 1 Samuel in this sermon:
Listen, ladies, not only do you need a right heavenly, or rather a right husband relationship but a right heavenly one, too. It’s needful that when you have some problem you go to the Lord with it. She vowed a vow, she said, “O Lord of hosts, O Lord of hosts, if Thou wilt…” and she began to pray.

Embracing His Will
How does one embrace the possibility of becoming childless for good?
Warren and I decided to stop from undergoing fertility treatments. For now it seems that he plans to stop temporarily but he could also be considering stopping it altogether, for good. I can only stand by the sidelines and let my husband lead me into the future. I am too exhausted emotionally and even physically to still think and make future plans of action. Anyway, we both agreed that this may not be the time to pursue medical intervention.
We agreed that our faith teaches us to rely on God and trust in His mercy and grace, that no matter how much we could spend and if ever we decided to spend for treatments, we will not conceive if God would not allow it. In the same manner, we will conceive even if we do not undergo fertility work ups if God wants to give us a child. Either way, there really isn’t anything man, medicine, science and technology can do unless God wills it.
