Couple's Corner: My Pregnancies

May is Mother's month, so we're still talking about motherhood here in couple's corner. Mommy Liz has featured pregnancies this week, so we will be talking about our exciting pregnancy (s) in the past when we have our lovely children developing in our womb.

I had four pregnancies in all. Each of my pregnancy was a new exciting experience from the first one to the last one. My eldest was only conceived within my womb for seven months and was taken from my womb via c-section due to my severe pre eclampsia case. The second and third child were delivered via normal vaginal birth. I had experienced on them the wails, the pains, and the joy of normal birth.

On my youngest, I had the most unforgettable pregnancy. I remember clearly that we went to Baguio last year on the month of April. During our visit, we went to Tam-awan Village where there is a fertility plant which according to them when you touch it you would become pregnant. Out of fun I touched it and even took picture with it. True to its myth the few weeks after, I remembered taking pregnancy test and it was positive. The fertility plant was effective after all.

During my entire pregnancy, I had experienced the most discomforts that worsen month after month. There was a time when I was on my third trimester that I was told by OB to have bed rest as I had premature labor. Thanks to the Lord for preparing and arranging the environment for me. I have tasted His faithfulness all throughout. He prepared a great OB-Gynecologists for me whom I have paid tribute in a blog article for his exceptional care and service to me.

It's not easy being pregnant. Your body will be adjusting to all the changes that will occur from the first to the final term. However, the joy of seeing my baby coming out and hearing their first baby cry replaces all the hardships that I have experienced while they were still in my womb.

Being a mother does not stop. It only stops when you are out of life. Once a child is born, we are full time workers, nurturing, cherishing them till they grow to start their own family. Once they have their own family, our motherhood still continues, loving them without question. This is the only profession that is paid with pure love. Mothers therefore are angels who guards our children with hope, faith, happiness and love without end.

Happy Mother's Day to all Including myself...............

Couple's Corner: My Mama

I really miss this Corner!!! I have been so pre-occupied by other things that I missed a lot of topics here in Couple's corner. Now I am back and have a serious thing about blogging=) So just expect me to lodging around this corner from now on..

We are now on the Month of May. One big celebration on this month is "Mother's Day". So this week's topic is all about our "Mothers"- one of the sweetest sounds heard on earth.


My mama is a never ending song in my heart of comfort, happiness, and being. I may sometimes forget the words but I always remember the tune. Her prayers have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life. She is my best friend. When trials and heavy burdens fall upon me, when adversity takes the place of prosperity, when friends I have been closed in the past turned their backs on me, when trouble thickens around me, she still clings to me and do her best to dissipate the clouds of darkness and cause peace to return to my heart. She is the best mother to me, to my sister and still to my children. For all that I have been through, there is really no- one else like mama.

This is for You Mama:

I want to thank you
for so many things...
For being the single most special
influence in my life
and the one I look up to and admire
with all my heart;
for being as honest as your word
and never letting me down.

I want to thank you for being
my first real friend
and fairest teacher;
for being insightful, understanding,
and staying on my side.
For giving me all that
a good mother gives, and more:
your love, your time, your patience,
and your ultimate wisdom.

Thank you for being better than anyone else
at showing me how much
I mean to you.
Today, I want to offer you
all that's in my heart:
my greatest love, utmost respect,
and deepest appreciation
for everything you do.

Happy Mother's Day Ma!

It's your time to honor your mother, say something sweet about her in Couple's Corner..
