Bonding Time with my Boys

Every time I watch my sons sleep I always thank God they are safe, healthy and content. Being a mom is the most different of all the once that I have experienced in my 30 years of existence in this world. The day I learned I am pregnant with my first son (who is now three and my second son is 4 months) and until this day; I know in my heart I cannot let anything bad happened to my kids. If only I can control their lives in my hands to ensure that they will stay safe all the time; I would do it. But that cant happen! It is part of a parent's responsibility to ensure that their kids grow as an independent, well mannered and matured human beings.

I had a difficult pregnancies with both of my sons. I had my lowest weight in my entire life when I was in my first trimester with my first son. I throw every food I eat, and I had difficulty sleeping. I was not sure then if I can keep him; I was malnourished. My OB-Gyne just insisted I eat every now and then on small amounts. I was also put on a special diet. It turned out I was overweight on my last trimester and I have to start trimming on carbo which I did with my utmost self control. In my second pregnancy, I had a gestational diabetes, my hands numb and I had difficulty breathing. The most unforgettable were the labor pains. The feelings were undescribable, I was ditched into hate and love. I hate that I have to undergo a very painful labor process and yet I know I love the feeling of bearing a child. My labor lasted 23 hours in my first son and 15 hours with my second (that is even with the help of the oxytocin injection).

The moment I held my baby in my arms I felt blissful and content, truly all my pains and hardships faded away. I was teary eyed, I am a certified mom! A proud mom I am.
