sahm

that's what i'll be starting 1st march, a sahm. hubs wants me to fully concentrate on the kids & i'm ok with that. i'd certainly miss work, the things i get to do (i'd be lying if i said otherwise) & my wonderful colleagues whom i've shared most of my lunch hours with at some time or another & are great friends. it'll be hectic days ahead (any mommies can attest to that i'm sure) but worthwhile. my new occupation includes being a full time driver, a housemaid & occasionally a cook (which i'm lousy at). it's hard work & there are mommies who do all that on top of a full time job (phew!). but i also believe that when GOD grants us the title of motherhood, He'll armour us with a bigger heart & the right tools so that we're mom the builder & handy mommy - 'can mommy fix it, yes she can!' or 'hola! handy mommy’s repair shop. you break it, she fixes it!' now that's a good reminder when i find meself at my wits' end. haha!

with a happy & joyful heart, i'm here to announce that i'm expecting baby no. 3! hubs must've prayed real hard for the past months for our angel. i still remember one of our conversations we'd during our courting days about how many kids we'll have. he said 5 (he comes from a family of 5) & i stubbornly said 1. he settled for 3 cos it's in between 1 & 5. i thought to meself then that 2 should be just right. by end of october, i'd have to deal with 3 - like they always say, 'the more the merrier!' i'm still at the earliest stage - coming to the 4th week. i've only felt the change in my body when i got tired more often & completely lost appetite for food. the 1st test came out negative & i waited another 3 days to do the next test with a very reliable wh accu test which came out positive. AMEN! i pray for a good pregnancy & definitely a smooth delivery. we're now getting the boys ready for their baby bro/sis, so before bedtime last night, they both hugged & kissed my belly & spoke to baby which was touchingly sweet!

p.s. a special thanks to a dear friend for getting me the pregnancy kit when i needed it the most. you know who you are :o)
