Hiya, Daddy!

Is that your regular face, Dad?

Happy one month old birthday to my daughter, Elise Gabrielle!! This day also marks the first day that her daddy was able to hold her. And tomorrow, we’ll be able to bring her home, at long last!!

They say that being a mother is the ultimate celebration of one’s womanhood and I definitely agree. I’ve always dreamt that having children and taking care of them is a career that I would happily indulge myself into. I was always warned that it’s no easy task, a task something so gargantuan that it causes some women depression and some looked like they’ve aged 5 or 10 years after they’ve raised some of their own.

After a month and a day of waiting for Elise to come home, I said to myself, God was giving me time to anticipate and be excited to spend time with my daughter. That I should be ready for the big task ahead of me. I thought I was ready, but I’m dead wrong.

At long last, we were able to bring home our little girl last Tuesday. We were so happy that finally, we get to spend the whole time with her. It was a very tiring and stressful day since Pau and I had to run all over the hospital to pay for her hospital bills and her doctor’s professional fees. Nonetheless, it was worth it.

Here are photos of her homecoming with Grandma and Pau’s family and relatives.
