happy father's day!

first & foremost, let me greet all the fathers in the world a happy father's day:)

i was browsing through my previous entries & i could not believe that i have not written anything about father's day. father's day was a funny day for us when my father was still alive. on this day, he would usually come home from his basketball game (he used to play basketball every sunday at ateneo with his buddies) with a cake on hand which has a "happy father's day" message to it:) yes, he buys his own cake thinking that we would not buy one for him. we usually go out to eat as well on these days. now that he's gone, what was left were those memories that always makes me smile. happy father's day papa, i know that you are still watching over us. always remember that i love you and even though it's been almost 8 years since you've been gone, never a day pass that i haven't thought of you. i have long accepted that you're not with us anymore but i still wish that you're here to see how we have become because of what you've taught us. and now... i wish that you're still alive to see your first granddaughter. i love you papa:)

i would also like to greet a groovy dad to be a happy father's day...my hubby, kokoy! i know that you will be a good dad to mishka. ngayon palang pinapakita mo na, with the way you're working hard and taking care of me. this latest happening in my pregnancy has truly brought us closer to each other. i saw how dedicated you are as a husband & as a father. i know you are fearing for my life & mishka's now, but as i promised you this afternoon i won't leave you & i will fight for my life & our baby's...that's why i am very careful & i follow my every doctor's advise. i know God will see us through. i love you dates!

totally immobile!

i had my ultrasound yesterday and the doctor saw that i have posterior placenta (meaning my placenta is blocking what supposed to be was my baby's passage to come out). she advised me to be on total bed rest as in totally immobile. i could not report for work anymore until i give birth and i am confined to the 4 corners of this room. i could not stand, people need to bring me food if i need to eat, the only time that i could walk is when i have to use the bathroom:( we also have no choice but to have the baby delivered via ceasarian section (i informed my doctor that i want a bikini cut, hehe). i have to be very careful that when i feel contractions, i need to be brought to the hospital right away. please help me storm the heavens with prayers that this won't happen until the 34th week of my pregnancy (i'm only on my 29th week). the baby has to be at least 34 weeks for her (yes, we're having a baby girl:)) to survive on her own. otherwise, she would be placed inside an incubator. please , please pray for me & my baby that everything will turn out fine.

on a lighter note, we will name her MIAH FRANCESCA J. ANGUSTIA, her nickname will be MISHKA! named after me (jeremiah) and her father (francis). my baby is still restless, i'm up now because she keeps on moving:) her movement is so priceless since it is an assurance that she is alive inside me.

once again, need your prayer folks, may God bless all of you:)

Someone's Waiting For You

I just want to share this song which I usually sing to my baby whenever I feel that he/she is restless. It doesn't only calm him/her but this song actually depicts what i feel for my baby:)


Someone's Waiting For You

Be brave, little one
Make a wish for each sad little tear
Hold your head up, though no one is near
Someone's waiting for you

Don't cry, little one
There'll be a smile where a frown used to be
You'll be part of the love that you see
Someone's waiting for you

Always keep a little prayer in your pocket
And you're sure to see the light
Soon there'll be joy and happiness
And your little world will be bright

Have faith, little one
Till your hopes and your wishes come true
You must try to be brave, little one
Someone's waiting to love you
