Instant Mommy

   Suddenly, I find myself facing a challenge and a gift - a challenge, no amount of training or experience may have prepared me for; and a gift - I could never be worthy of but I would not refuse.

   26 weeks into my first pregnancy, I've somehow disproved some of the theories that I came up with earlier in life.

• I've come to accept the fact that I am but a child, even at 27, when I realized that I did not have a clue in taking care of a child. I'm scared na baka hindi ko makarga ang baby ko kapag nakita ko siya coz I have always been afraid of carrying other people's baby. Ganun din, when Jovel and I checked out the different baby stuff in the mall. I could not decide which ones to buy, even after reading all the product reviews on the internet.

• I've realized that I am capable of giving a limitless kind of love. The kind that exists only in movies - yung martir kind of love. At this point, I can't think of anything that I won't do for my baby. 

• I've learned that motherhood simply cannot be overrated. I am now waking, eating and breathing - literally living for another human being. I can't think of any other experience that can top being a human life support system. 

   I invite you to learn, live and love with me as I embark on this new chapter in my life - I was BabyTintin  but now I am InstantMommy.

From I Corinthians 13

¹¹ "When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things."
¹² "For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known."
¹³ "And now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love."
