When I got pregnant, I was so ecstatic that I made it known right away to the members of my family and friends. It was such a great news and thanked God for blessing me with a baby. Days and months went by and finally, the moment I have been waiting for has come.....I am going to be a full pledged mother. I had mixed emotions because I was told by my doctor that I am going to have a C-section. Me and my husband also decided not to check the baby's gender but I already felt that the baby is a she. When she came out of my belly, she was screaming with one of her arms held high. I was so so happy and speechless to finally see my sweet little baby girl. She was the prettiest baby I have ever seen and she means the world to me.
When I became a mom, I thought of so many ways on how I can provide the best to my little one. Being a mother is not an easy job. It is a special privilege to take care of another human being. I read books and other reading materials to gain tips on how to raise a child properly. It helped me but I can say that personal day to day experience is better. Of course, my folks would say do this and that....I followed some of their suggestions but not all. This time, I am confident that I know what is best for my baby. Raising a child taught me to be more patient, loving and caring. There are days when I cannot do what I want to do for myself, skip meals and sleep. But when I look at my baby's face, all I can think of is her warm hugs and kisses each time she wakes up.
Now she is already 6 years old and slowly growing up. Ten years from now, she may not allow me to kiss and hug her as long as I want. I already miss those moments as early as now. My sweet little girl is slowly growing up, learning new things that will make her a better and stronger person.
Being a full-time mom and employee worked for less than 2 years. My child would normally wait for me at the door crying and would tell me to stay with her instead. It breaks my heart to see her cry, so sometimes I just call in sick and play with her all day. Finally, I decided to say goodbye to my corporate life and focus on my daughter's needs.
It makes me crazy sometimes to think that there is nothing else to do except take care of my family's needs and be wanted by less people, unlike when I used to go to work. I may not be earning anymore but I earned my child's love and attention, until such time when she realizes that her world does not revolve around me and her papa. The greatest accomplishment that I am proud of is being with my daughter & spending most of the time with her. I have accepted the ugly truth that one day, she will spend less time with me and spend most of it with other people. As early as now, I am already open to learn new things to consume my time as an elderly individual.
I am currently looking for a job that will not steal time from me and my child. A job done at night will be perfect for me since my husband will be home to take care of my daughter while I am away. Getting a maid is such a pain. I have decided to stop getting one and I was able to cope and adjust with the help of my husband and daughter.
