Hello my dear Hivers of the 
Today I want to share with you our first family photo taken on the first month celebration of my son Yusef.
It was just an ordinary for the people but a milestone for me as a mother. I must say giving birth to my second child is harder than my first time.
I was in labor for almost 16 hours. I thought I am already good at it because I went through it once. I thought it would be the same as before. But surprisingly it was not.
The hardest part for me was the part when I was already fully dilated at 10 cm but my water has not broken yet. The pain was unbearable I really wanna get the baby out. I pushed and pushed but it seems like it was doing anything at all.
Thank God after about 4 hours the baby finally came out. I had him in normal delivery. From the Rural Health Unit (RHU) where I planned to give birth, I was referred to a district hospital which is in the next town. I was referred because I've been in delivery for almost 3 hours after my water broke and the baby has not come out yet. I actually felt hopeless that time. I thought I might die. But my prayer always is for my baby to just come out safe and healthy.
But when I got to the hospital, it didn't take long when my baby came out. With just two long push I was able to let him out my womb.
So I felt it was necessary to celebrate my son's first month here on Earth. I want to take it as an opportunity to thank God for his goodness. For the guidance he gave me. For blessing me with a healthy baby boy.
With that we took photos of the moment for a remembrance. It was also our first family photo as a family of four. As a mother it is my happiness to see my children happy and healthy. They will be my greatest treasure in this world and in this lifetime.
I hope and pray they grow God fearing, healthy and kind children. And may they remember me as the mother who loved them dearly with everything that I am.
Thanks for reading this far. Til my next post!
