1. I need to have more
Calcium
While it’s true that pregnant
women need to have added amount of calcium intake for them and the child inside
their womb, I need it more, I say, because my soon-to-be toddler is so active
and hindi maiwasan na kargahin ko sya. Yes, yes, yes, I’ve heard a lot of
reminders already telling me na wag magbuhat ng mabigat and most especially wag
na buhatin si Eliza para hindi ma-stress ang baby ko sa loob but there are
times that it’s really inevitable not to carry or even lift her.
2. Extra patience comes
in handy
I gotta be patient with my
little explorer, my tiny tot. Yet some women would say na during their
pregnancy, their hormones go berserk and they become temperamental. Thank God
that doesn't happen to me. I may have been a little less patient when I’m
stressed sa work but now since naka-mat leave ako, I got all the free time to
play and care for my babies.
3. Laughing and creating
happy bonding moments are easier
I know that the baby inside in
my womb can hear and feel the laughter, the games, the singing, the dancing and
listening to music activities we are doing ng ate nya. So kampante ako na pati
sya mahahawa sa happy aura namin and she’s able to interact too.
4. Physical Strength is
important
I suffered badly from the
accident. Ang hirap umupo, tumayo, magbend to get something, and even humiga at
matulog. Pero mas nahirapan ako to breathe, umiyak, umubo, mag-sneeze, at even
to laugh. Ang sakit-sakit sa dibdib, physically and metaphorically. That made
me worried kasi naisip ko, paano ko aalagaan ang mga anak ko. But God healed me
and He did it just in time. Laughing wand doing some activities with Eliza
gradually exercised my chest and now I’m totally well. Praise God for using my daughter
as His instrument to help me recover.
Every now and then I pick up toys, clothes, food or mga pamunas na tinatapon ni bulilit sa floor and even diapers with wiwi na, kasi sometimes pag-alanganin na itapon sa trash bin sa likod, then I just slip it under the bed, hehehe. Pati na rin kapag naglilikot si Eliza sa bed kasi she loves going sa edge ng bed so ako yung mega harang. She runs around the bed, flips and turns na ang bilis-bilis so nakakapraning kung hindi ko sya maabot. So that means I bend and reach a lot.

5. In the Pink of health
This is in connection to
numbers 1 and 4. Women who are in this type of situation should be eating
healthy foods and shouldn’t be stressed at all! Good vibes lang dapat lagi. A
little exercise would help too lalo na ang mga stretchings and yogas for pregnant
women nearing labor.
6. Irish Twins
Haha, added info lang ito.
Thanks to sis Ai who told me about this. Ang tawag pala sa dalawang bata na
isang taon lang ang pagitan is “Irish Twins.” Here’s what I’ve read about from http://multiples.about.com/od/glossary/g/irishtwins.htm
by Pamela Prindle Fierro, About.com Guide
Definition: The term is used to describe two children born
to the same mother in the same calendar year or within twelve months of each
other. The phrase originated as a derogatory term associated with Irish
immigration to the United States and England in the 1800's. The implication was
that large groups of close-in-age siblings were the result of uneducated, poor
Irish Catholic families' lack of birth control as well as self-control.
In modern use, the term is not intended as an insult, but rather
a description of siblings born close together. Irish twins are not actually
twins and they are not the same as having twins, which are defined as two
siblings born from the same gestation.
Actually there are a lot of insights everyday but I guess this sums it all.
Til next time!
