The date is april 17th. It was a beautiful day, the sun is out and we (you, me and your auntie Crystal) were inside our room having a trip down memory lane by gazing at the old pictures in our desktop computer. It has been your habit to sit down my or your dad’s lap whenever we’re in front of the computer. Then all of a sudden while you were walking around, you broke the monotony of our exchange of thoughts when you walked behind me, placed your hands on my shoulders and planted a kiss on my right cheek. “Aawww… that’s sweet”, your auntie Crystal exclaimed, while it took me a few seconds to let it all sink in.
My little boy giving me a kiss, yeah how very sweet.
Last March 31st, a few minutes before the clock struck 2pm, you tripped while you were merrily running around the house. Lately, you have been rather fond of running from one side of the house to another part of the house. I was having lunch and you were playing around while you were close to your grandfather. Your dad on the other hand, is inside the room resting since he just got home from a long day at work. Then you broke the monotony of the moment when you tripped and hit your nose real hard on the edge of our sofa (wood), and then I started to panic when I saw blood dripping out of your nose very rapidly. I called out to your dad and he tried to get in touch with you aunt who is a pediatrician. We were told to rush you to the Emergency room of UST Hospital.
It was a grueling trip. You had a phobia of doctors when you were first confined in the hospital a month before your birthday. So it was really difficult. Imagine our shock when we were told that we had to re take the x ray of your nasal bone. It took me, your dad, and our helper Elsa, as well as one of the xray technicians to hold you steady while they were capturing the image since you were so strong.
It was breaking my heart to see you cry, no it was beyond that, you were wailing the entire time. The sight of doctors in white was sure to make you cry. It was with great thanksgiving that we went home when the doctor cleared you of nasal bone infraction.
It is said in Psalm that He takes care of his children and when they slip it is not fatal and not one of their bones will be broken! God lives up to his promises. Amen!
Early this morning, past 3 am, my husband and i got home from the office. He had to leave early since he's not feeling well and I on the other hand am on the mid-shift so I finished around half past one am.
My son, woke up to the sound of the car when hubby was parking it. Went back to sleep shortly. Since the dogs knew we got home they were ecstatic and Coffee woke him again with his tail's ecstatic wagging. She - Coffee - doesn't seem to mind where she bangs her tail. Not that she hit my son with her tail but she pretty much banged it on all the structures in my mom's room - the bed post, the hamper and everything else. Thus, waking up the little boy again and causing him to cry.
I immediately rushed to Nathan, to pick him up and reassure him that it's just Coffee and that I'll be there till he gets back to sleep. I told his nanny to bring all his stuff to our room and that the little boy will be sleeping beside us. He got past the sleepy state and perhaps he thought it was already morning that he wanted to play with me and his dad.
Hubby left us in the room when the little boy was starting to get
sleepy again. He ate his "baon" and went to the shower. I was then
singing lullabies to the little boy. After a few minutes thinking that
he is already asleep, I paused and was then about to check if he's
already asleep. I was lying on my right side facing my son, who was
then lying on his left side facing me. His head was on my right
shoulder. While I was about to check on him to find out if he's already
asleep, he surprised me by clapping his hands. 
I was really surprised and amazed. I was laughing with him when he
looked up to me and smiled and eventually laughed. But then after a
really short while, my laughter gave way to tears. Tears of
unexplainable happiness that I could not contain. I guess moms live for
these moments. I hugged my son real tight and told him I love him no
matter what. I sealed that moment with a kiss on his forehead and both
fell asleep.

we're expecting our first baby by august 8, 2007!!!
just thought i'd tell you the very good news. We already had the ultrasound and the li'l one is not so little. he/she is 2.3x bigger than what's ideal for that age. I was chatting with Kami (friend from Utah) last night and she was flabbergasted when i told her the news. This is what she said: "Oh my! Little Erlyn is going to have a baby tanker!"
This li'l one takes so much from his/her dad, who was born 12.8lbs. We'll see if the Daddy continues to hold the title after I give birth. hehe
***we found out about you on December 1st. I was on a night shift and was assigned by my employer then to go to another start up call center somewhere in Pedro Gil to check on somethings. I got home around 3am and decided that I'll just do the pregnancy test later when your dad arrives. He got home while I was still asleep so when I got up he was already snoozing. I then went to the toilet and excitedly opened the kit. But somehow, deep down I knew already that I have you. And after two minutes it was confirmed, I am with child. I rushed to the bedroom to rouse your father from sleep and tell him that he is going to be a dad. He just smiled at me and asked "Talaga (really)?", then he went back to sleep. Somehow it didn't sink in to him that when he woke up he asked me to do the test all over again. And when we saw the two lines again, he beamed at me like any expectant father would. =)
