Almost there!

At 33 weeks my mind has started to become preoccupied with all the thoughts of giving birth - conjuring mixed emotions too. But I guess, my work has kept me on my toes and my faith has kept me calm. Like in my older posts, I know that with God, everything will turn out fine, even better. For now, here's a prayer for safe delivery - sharing it with you just in case you're a soon-to-be mom too or you know someone who might want to keep this handy.

Rain, rain, go away... NOW!

Ever since typhoon Ondoy in 2009, I've always had a hate-hate relationship with the rain especially if it's been pouring non-stop. If only I could make the rain go away, I would, and fast! Falcon, go away please. Stay safe and dry everyone! Help me pray please. ;)

Lovely day

Let me begin by using my Facebook status as of this writing...

We had our congenital anomaly scan and fetal echo today and all our prayers were answered. Dr. Lyra Ruth Chua of The Medical City did the scan and she made us feel twice as better as she showed us our baby girl's internal structure and heart, with much appreciation and awe of our baby's make up. When she said that baby's heart was beautiful, I told myself that we would do everything in our capacity as parents to raise our baby girl to be a beautiful person because as early as now, she's already super blessed, we're all very blessed. Today is one of those days that, despite the heavy downpour, merit a lovely day stamp. Every waking day gives me more reason to believe that with God, anything is possible.

We didn't get to bring home a single 'photo' of baby, but today more than ever, our hearts are happy and the photos can wait. She'll be a beautiful baby inside and out for sure because she's got the Lord on her and her parents' side. =)

Sending out my constant gratitude to the heavens

Check back why in the next few weeks!

Have a meaningful and blessed Holy Week everyone

I love 'Dear God Kids'

Sometimes I wonder if I'm the only one who remembers the 'Dear God Kids' created by Annie Fitzgerald. I used to have school notebooks with them on the cover which also had witty kids' prayers like


Though the notebooks aren't available anymore, luckily parents and kids can still get pre-loved copies of Dear God books of prayers from Book Sale. Yay for secondhand, but still valuable books. The Dear God series is a great and fun way of introducing kids to prayer - it worked well for me. =)
