It's A Boy!

The long wait and guessing ends.  We finally had a chance to personally witness the gender of the newest member of our family through an ultrasound monitor.  Since she  was already in her 7th month, the gender was a bit clear and very visible... it's another boy!

Even months before, we already had a guess of 80% probability that our baby is a boy, basing on our experience.  Our daughter's movements were more finer and slower than our son's.  And there were just a lot of similarities in my wife's condition when she was having our first son.  More, people around us were thinking the same thing.  My mom told us that my wife's rounded belly indicates that it's a boy and she also noticed that my wife's nose was a little shiny same as when she had our son...

But the OB Gyn told us, that isn't always the case.  And I believe her, since the only reliable source of gender result was the ultrasound.  However, we're right anyway, aren't we?  LOL.

So, it's another boy, another one who will try to strangle me until I can no longer breathe and who would ask me to give him a horse ride in my back until I'm wasted.  Worst, play a physical game with me and gets me on my weakest spot.  Just thinking of it, gives me the creeps.  Oh what the heck, it's a great way to die.  I guess I just have to prepare more rugs to wipe out the scribbles on the wall, before my wife kills me... hahaha.

Kidding aside, I really don't have any gender issue, whether a boy or girl.  I was just thankful to the Lord that everything's well with my wife and our baby, as the result showed.  Yahweh bless.

A Glimpse Of Our New Angel

We are expecting our baby by the end of this year.  My wife, in her prenatal checkup, was able to see our still tiny baby in her womb.  How I wish I can always be right beside her during these wonderful moments, but I need to be in my work.  So I had to satisfy myself with the ultrasound scan result.  And it was really a great feeling to see our baby for the first time.

The memories of my children came back to me, moments when they were still in their mom's womb.  The thought gives me the feeling of excitement of the experiences I'll have with our newest member.  Knowing the gender, selecting a name, and a lot of good things along the way.  And so as the anticipation of the challenges it'll give... baby crying-give milk-sing endless lullaby-baby crying again-change diapers-baby sleeping-baby crying again... Not to mention the necessities, milk and diapers.  But hey that's the essence of being a parent.

Right now, we don't have a gender preference.  But my daughter wants a sister and our son wants a brother, and we can't have both since it's not a twin.  But whatever our baby will be, we just want him or her to be complete and healthy, and we all agree on this.

To our thirdy, your ate, kuya, mom and I are very eager to meet you personally.  We love you so much and we pray that you'll be healthy and safe with your mom.  Yahweh bless.
