Having a child is a greatest wish of a couple. Even some single ladies do wish to have a child but questioning how when they don't have boyfriend nor husband. I am used to that thinking before that I don't want to get married but wanted to have a child. It's annoying right?
Child is a good and perfect gift from God to a couple. A married couple cannot be called family without a child, they were just a couple, a Mr. and Mrs..
When we got married, I and my husband didn't pray to ask for a baby but instead we pray for God's guidance because we know that He has a perfect plan for us. If He wants us to have a baby then he could give us as soon as possible but if not we know He will give it in the right time.
After wedding, we are just patiently waiting for a baby. Days, months and year passed but still I didn't get pregnant. We are still enjoying the life of being a married couple. We are both working at that time. Since we don't have yet a baby, we decided to get a motorcycle and we will pay for it within 2 years. In the following months we bought a side car and connect it to the motorcycle and we have a tricycle.
We used to live a life together. We are not expecting for a baby so we won't be tired of waiting. We just keep on telling each other that God has a better plan for us.
Until one day, I noticed that my monthly period didn't come on the expected date. I was delayed 3 days and my sister in law told me that might be I am pregnant. So the next day, I bought a PT (Pregnancy Test) and have a test for myself early in the morning.
I saw two lines and yes I'm pregnant. I and my husband are so happy and continue to save for our baby's need.
Taking care of a baby doesn't start in their first day here in the world but instead taking care of them will start while they are still in the womb.
I started taking care of my baby by having enough sleep, drinking a lot of water, having exercise, having healthy foods by eating a variety of fruits and vegetables. I also have some fresh fruit juices back then where my husband prepares it for me so I could bring it in work.
Some juices I drink that time are the following:
- Pineapple
- Pineapple + carrots
- Pineapple + cucumber
- Lemonsito + honey
- Pineapple + malunggay
If you noticed pineapple is the common fruit because it is abundant here and we use it as a sweetener to every juice.
I do love to eat different fruits that time. I never choose what to eat but I really love all of them. I just eat them alternately so it will varies from different color.
My superiors at work, my workmates and even me expected for a normal delivery because they said that I have a healthy lifestyle.
Unfortunately, a day before the expected date I suffered from a back pain. We went to the hospital and unexpectedly I have a high blood pressure. My son have half of the normal heart beat and my cervix didn't open yet. The doctor decided to have an emergency CS so the baby will be saved.
We cannot decide at first knowing that caesarian operation cost a lot and we landed in a private hospital. We wanted to be referred to the Provincial Hospital but the doctor explains that the baby might lost his life and it make us decide to agree with the operation.
Waking up with a baby besides me gives me an unexplainable feeling. I felt sad about my situation (To be shared in different article) but happy to have our baby safe.
Indeed our son is a good, perfect and precious gift for us. God really had a wonderful plan for us. Imagine he let us have a tricycle first before giving us a baby. My husband use the tricycle to pick some passengers and it really help us to sustain the needs of our son especially the milk and diaper.
God is good and He has a better plan for you too. Learn to enjoy while waiting and wait patiently. Always remember that everything has a purpose.
