1st step

I'm just so excited! Finally bought your first item of clothing. Its just one set though. Breaking into the mommy of a baby girl mode gently. Of course, its in YELLOW. Minimum amount of pink puuhhllleeeaaassseee :D I dunno. I'm weird with pink for so many reasons. Pastels will be our theme.

Marking this milestone! Hahaha! Will try to take a picture of the set when we get home later. For posterity. You're going to laugh with this post. I'm so shallow!

Smile Baby Girl!

This is still a bit unbelievable. I guess the reality really hasn't entirely set in. But there you were right in front of us... And God's most precious gift wrapped in a little pink bow. Hello, baby girl...

With the help of modern technology, we got to see a glimpse of you again. This time, with more recognizable features and structures. You smiled at us twice. Felt like my heart was going to burst. I was holding back the tears when I saw your face. I think it was more like you were laughing than just a simple smile. Your mouth was open as though you knew that we were seeing you for the first time. To make it even more special, Dr. Palmares exclaimed, "Baw! Kabalo na sya mag pray!" (Wow! She already knows how to pray!). Sure enough, your hands were clasped together. I wanted to shout out, she got that from me! I couldn't ask for anything more. You gave me a whole new level of inspiration. In a time where faith and blessings are needed more than ever, you are God's message of hope and victory. I saw it boldly and clearly.

We have a lot to live for, baby. God is the first and most important lesson you will get to learn and live out. To see you "praying", you better get used to that position because that same position, with a real relationship with our Maker, will get you through the darkest and most trying times of your existence.

Your Lolo Pepot was the first one I called and, naturally, he cried. I guess he still had a lot of tears left over from the wedding after all. Lola Jane, Lola Remy, both so excited over you. I think their warming up their credit cards as we speak.

Almost 3 more months left. Then I get to hold and kiss you. I can hardly wait.
