The greatest joy motherhood gave me is…

the opportunity to find happiness even in the simplest things in life. Through my children’s eyes, I’ve witnessed how chasing butterflies could be dream-like; how a simple piece of paper drawn with unidentifiable crayon drawings could boost one’s self-esteem; and that slice of bread topped with butter and sugar could taste like cake. Each day is a new discovery, and I enjoy it as much as my children do.

The greatest joy motherhood gave me is being able to understand the real meaning of unconditional love. I never thought that I have the capacity to love this much, selfless.. immeasurable.. unconditional.. until I became a mother. Giving up my career as an OFW to become a full-time mom is all worth it for I was able to witness firsthand all the firsts in my baby’s life. I was able to give all the love and attention he deserves, and I believe that he deserves nothing less. I am very proud to say that I never missed a day in my son’s life from the day he was born. I may not be able to give him all the material things that I could buy if I am working abroad, but I was able to give him the most important thing in the world to a growing child, a MOTHER.

The greatest joy motherhood gave me is the chance to prove to the world that I can be a mom and a capable one at that. Friends and family joked around about me not having a mattress (uterus) at all and that I should purchase one from a furniture shop (in reference to mattresses as in the ones used for beds!). For years, I’ve always thought I would never be able to conceive because of reproductive complications, but it is by God’s grace and miracle that I am now a proud mother of a bouncing baby boy. Previously, I didn’t even prepare to become a mother, never interested in baby stuff, and never caring about parenting and stuff like that. When I learned that I was with child, all that changed. My life practically turned 180 degrees! And it was only then that I read voraciously about pregnancy and parenting, and absorbed every bit of detail on how to go about it to the extent of making a blog solely to honor motherhood — http://mrsnoodleboy.tumblr.com! I admit that I may not be an exemplary mother (yet!) as everything is still so new to me but I am surprised at how fast I had adapted to this new role and I agree that maternal instinct is indeed a fascinating thing. From being known to rock the anthem of “Basta Igat, Sikat!” (http://www.bastaigatsikat.com) loud and proud, motherhood has definitely changed my life. All for the better, of course. Motherhood has ignited a flame in me and this is a kind of love that burns deep — for my baby and for my family. I would do anything, as in everything in my power to protect and nurture this precious gift of life for I absolutely & unconditionally love my precious baby boy.

I have a confession to make, when i was in college, i told myself i would never want to get married. yes. i wanted to be an old maid for the rest of my life. don’t get me wrong, it’s not that i was tomboyish or something, actually i was with my boyfriend(now my husband) when i was telling that to the world. maybe that’s the reason why God chose me to experience the joy of motherhood. times three! when i was still single, i was dependent on yayas and my mom of course. i never knew anything about household chores and stuff like that. but when i became a mom myself, i never knew i could do stuff like “mag-igib” “clean the toilet” etc. without any help from helpers. never had one actually. i quit my job as medtech and became a stay at home , hands on mom. It’s actually more tiring than working in a hospital(24 hours duty).but this is more fullfiling actually. The best thing about this is when moms and teachers at my kids’ school would approach me and tell me things like.. my daughter is on top of her class or how pretty and lovely my kids are. my heart is jumping with joy whenever i hear good things about my kids. It made me realize that somehow i did a great job as a mother to my 3 kids. I am forever thankful/grateful to the God above for entrusting them to me:)

The greatest joy motherhood gave me is savoring the experience of how God must feel when He looks at us. Motherhood lets me bestow unconditional love to my kids and harvest the same unconditional love in return.

By the way ladies, for the month of October I have a new giveaway.

Just be my top commenter and you can choose 1 of these What To Expect books here:

Hello! Welcome back to my blog :)

Happy 9 months Sean!!

I cannot believe it! I know I often say that but Sean’s coming into my life  is just such an amazing experience for me. He’s been in this world as much time I have carried him in my body. I love him to bits!! I love the way he smiles, he eats and fake cough and everything  else he does.

Sean, this is where you lived for 9 months before you decided you want to move out.


Newsflash!
Sean got his first tooth!! It happened last September 3. We just noticed it that morning. It was so excruciating for him. It’s the first time in his life that he felt so much pain it seems like all hell broke loose in our home. I wish I could feel the pain instead of him. We gave him paracetamol and after a few hours he was good again. Crawling around the house like his searching for a treasure. He’s SO ACTIVE!

So since he has his first tooth we have to start with good habits like brushing his teeth. Finally we could try out this awesome toothbrush sent by the generous people of FIREFLY TOOTHBRUSH. Thanks so much, he love his toothbrush!

Sean, it's the other way around...

Yeah, that's better baby!

He got his measles injection today. He only cried for a minute and then it was over. He’s such a trooper!! He’s a bit cranky though because his 2nd tooth is also coming out … would it be hurting so much whenever babies get another tooth?

If you want to try FIREFLY toothbrushes too, I think they are available nationwide.

Puppy Love

What gave you the greatest joy in motherhood? -GIVEAWAY CLOSED

Motherhood is the scariest, toughest but most rewarding job I have ever had in my entire life. Scary because, the life of this precious little boy is on my hands. Tough because we are responsible in shaping who he will be and rewarding because his smiles are priceless.

 

Before I became a mom, I had lots of questions and I still do. I am lucky because I have my mom and lots of friends who willingly gives me advice when I ask them newbie mom questions. I also browse the parenting forums for answers. One great resource I just discovered that provides parenting information is Drypers.com.ph . It’s kind of like moms digital playground :)

Sweet Gift from a Mommy Blogger

Today we picked up a package when we went to town. A very sweet blogger named Nicquee sent Sean some cookies. I have been looking for these specific cookies to give to my baby because it is something that I grew up eating and I knew that they are given to babies. I couldn’t find it here in our island :P so Nic sent us some.

Isn’t that amazing? I am truly touched.

Thank you so much Nic!!  Sean loved the Marie cookies :D

Movers and Shakers

Sean is really a mover now. He’s super duper active now and I am not exaggerating :P ! Our typical day starts at 5:00 am sometimes even earlier. He would wake us up with his cry and he won”t stop till we stand up and bring him out to the living room. Half asleep, I would get up and  put a dvd for him and let him watch from his playpen so that even if I fall asleep, he’s safe and sound.

At around 6 or 7, I would be fully awake so it’s either I let him explore the house by letting him crawl, me following him everywhere of course, trying to stop him from licking everything he sees or we could be playing on the floor.

 

When I was little I used to watch Care Bears so I let Sean watch it too and  I was ecstatic when I saw him enjoying the Care bears too! It’s so funny when he laughs all of a sudden to the antics of the bears.

I need to get some zzzzzs now while Sean is taking a nap.

Freedom for Sean

 

 

It was difficult decision for me but when Sean turned 8 months, I gave him some freedom to roam around the floor. Why was it such a difficult decision you might wonder? Well I was afraid of the bacteria and germs that he will contract by crawling on the floor. Yes of course we clean our floors everyday, but I am sure there are still gazillion of germs and what- not that can be found on the floor. You can call me germophobic or OC but for me I just don’t want my baby to get ill.

But anyway, after some deliberation, I tried to overcome my fear of germs so that he would  have a bigger place to practice his crawling and exploring. To my surprise, he learned to crawl properly in a jiffy. He has now mastered the art of crawling. I need to be quick if I want to stop him from grabbing or licking something. Yes, that’s the consequence of the freedom given to him-  being able to reach and touch lots of different things.

And that’s why we also started with NO. It’s so funny because when I say No to him, he is  able to show that he doesn’t agree with me. He would move my hand away from the object I am preventing him to touch or by making a face that shows ” But I want to touch it!“  :P

What else has he been up to? Hmmm…he’s been screaming a lot, I don’t know if he thinks he’s talking or singing :) He also loves to laugh! He’s a very happy baby … I enjoy him so much.

 

He can now stand longer and longer and has started walking while holding on to the sofa :D (with one hand- yes he’s that confident) or the wall of his playpen. He fell a couple of times and cried but after awhile forgets about the incident. I’ve noticed that he’s becoming more careful after falling several times.

When he’s inside his playpen, he would try to climb out and sometimes would use whatever item that’s available to step on. Never a dull moment here in this house :D .

Does he sleep through the night already? NO ! When he was 7 months he would just play a bit around our bed, climb on top of us, pull our hair etc. Now when he wakes up at around 3 or 4 a.m. , he would cry hysterically till he can get us to get up and bring him out to the living room.

I wonder when he is gonna sleep through the night… (yawn) so I can get a night sleep of more than 4 hours again.
