Dear
Anak,
Today marks our 16th week
of being together! Your Papa and I are
blessed beyond words could ever say. We have waited for you patiently and last
November you made your way into our lives unexpectedly.
Thus, for your Papa and I, it will
always be the sweetest November of all. We never thought you will come that
early.
Our dear anak, we plan to have you
after our travel in the US since we don’t want you to be stressed out. However,
you have your own way of surprising us both and we are so happy to have you in
our lives. You really wanted to be with Mama and Papa in all our travels, huh?
And oh! You were with us in Disneyworld Florida! Probably the reason why you
came in too soon, huh? Hehehe..Just kidding! But our dear anak, you are a blessing to us!
You are fearfully and wonderfully made. God loves you and so do we.
Anak, our journey together is not
that easy peasy. I was dead worried when I had spotting in the first trimester.
We visited the doctor last December and boy, you are one tough cookie! You
proved to us that you are one tough baby with a strong heartbeat. It’s like
saying, “look mama and papa, I am here and I am one tough cookie, can’t you see”?
I need to catch some air when the doctor said she cannot see you and that I
need to undergo transvag. That time, I really thought I lost another angel but
when we had the ultrasound, you are there swimming and flinging your arms.
On
our second visit, you showed papa and mama some tricks like kicking your tiny
toes and waving your little hands and showing us your heartbeat. “See Papa and
Mama, do I make you both proud with my new tricks?”...Yes, anak! Yes, you made
us so proud. Papa can’t help himself so he took a video of you so that we can
watch it over and over again. Oh, it’s love at first sight!
You
are really worth melting for anak. We can hardly wait to hold you in our arms.
I prayed for you every day that you will be strong, that you will be a beautiful
child inside and out and that you will be a loving child to us and to Papa God.
We pray that you will grow up to be a good child and we will try our best to
inculcate in you the value of honesty, kindness and generosity among others.
It’s
still a long journey for us anak. Mama had a little brown spotting again. Although
it was so little, I still feel that it should not be that way. But I will be
strong for you and we hope to see you again doing some of your acrobat moves next
visit. Please hold on anak, we are already in the 2nd trimester. We are still not yet out of the woods but I
know with God’s love and mercy we can finish the journey together, right?
We
love you anak!
Papa and Mama
