While Edmund and I waited for Oyen’s delivery, we both felt anxious. I felt like I was the one giving birth. Syempre, I was worried about my daughter.
I think she was more nervous now than the first time. First timers only have a clue of what to expect, from what they hear from others, from what they read. But there’s nothing like experiencing it yourself. And her nervousness came into being after a school classmate of hers died just a few days before her due.
After I gave birth to Oyen, I didn’t want to go through the experience of being in the delivery room or operating room again. Hearing all those commotion, conversations between the ob-gyne, nurses, etc. were all not pleasant.
Oyen was scheduled for CS on August 28, but her baby has other plans. He picked the right day. It’s holiday today and no heavy traffic in Ortigas, EDSA, JP Rizal, and around BGC. Not too many people also were at the hospital most especially riding the elevators.
At a little past 5 pm we got the initial news and photos. The mother and the baby were doing well.
A heavy sigh of relief came. As Wowo puts it, this tiny being is our second miracle.
Thank you for this beautiful creation Lord. Bless our family as we welcome this new baby boy with love. Amen.
