BUNDLE OF JOYS...those were the days

I come from another planet (bolgging site)  and I don't know anyone here.  Sob.

Reminds me when I first landed on earth. Must had been strange when I came out of my mother's womb but at least I was welcomed by four loving hands with happy faces smiling down at me.  Still, I must have let out a  few cries like my babies did.

Speaking of which, now I am thinking of the arrival of my own then three bundle of joys.  In their struggle to come into the world, one needed the help of forcep delivery, the other by vacuum procedure and the last one through cecarean section.

 The first two took 8 to 9 long hours of writhing in pain that left me with none or little energy left and let alone enjoyed my newborn. If that made Nat and Elsa unwelcome then I am truly sorry.  The C-section had to be the least painful for me unlike others' experiences.  Claire came out the most contented of the lot.  No struggling and no trauma for both of us. I was under aneasthesia while the whole cutting was going on.  Gory as it may sound, Pete saw, through the theater window, my intestines being lifted up as he shared later. 

Their dad's sweetness, love and care was commendable during all the delivery challenges.  How could I forget when he carried and lifted me up, single handedly, onto the tall hospital bed.  It was one of the most crucial togetherness and I wouldn't blame any wife who doesn't get such caring...thinking, of course, of the one relative whose main cause of divorce was due to resentment being left alone, delivering a baby, while the husband went to play football when she most needed him.

 Oh, baby....

HELLO WORLD AND WELCOME TO MY CORNER


I have been a  pilgrim here on earth and I am going back to my hometown where I came from. 

While here, I make the most of what is in front of me....being grateful for who and what I am, my lovely family and those who cross my path. There will be opinions, life's observation, personal passions & challenges and glimpses of the past down memory lane. 



One of those happy moments when you get to stay in a hotel with breathtaking scenery and enjoying a cup of coffee absorbed in the beauty of silence!


Nice meeting you!
