My continuing journey in the land down under, living my life the way I wanted it to be, starting anew without the baggage of the past, and wishing to share my fondness of this country with my family whom I left behind.

Six months on...
Dear Abie,
Today, you turned six months old. Mommy and Daddy are still amazed by how fast you've grown.

You're one spirited little girl. We love how you laugh, giggle, shriek and shout. You're one observant little girl. You stare at things as if trying to take everything in. You are very receptive, you always have been, even when you're still in Mom's tummy.
You love your Mom but your Dad lights up your world. What a playful little girl you've become. And your favorite playmate is your Dada. Yes, you're starting to talk --- Dada, baba, papa, mama --- in that order. You say Papa when you want to be played with, but cries Mama when you wanted to be held.
When Dad and I are talking, you also talk and join the conversation. It may sound gibberish to us but I know it meant something to you.
Your first tooth came out, the lower front tooth, and the second one is coming out. You may not be rolling yet but you sure wants to stand on your own two feet. You sit on your own for five seconds at the most but its only because you're interested more in playing than sitting. But I know you are capable of doing that so I am not stressed.
Although I am with you every hour of every day, I still miss you. You're growing so fast my love. But if I miss you, your Dad misses you more. And I know you miss him too. Your time together in the morning and evening is very precious to him (and to me). He can bring out the best laughter in you at the littlest effort. You respond well to him, you really do.
You like your TV (just like Mommy) but you love nature more. You get easily bored inside the house but once we are at the backyard, you can't get enough of what you're seeing.
Our lives have changed since having you. Our schedule revolves around you, you and you. Dinner with friends were replaced with weekend lunch, movie nights with tv/ laptop viewings. But we are not complaining and we don't want anything better.

Bitter sweet. That sums up what we felt as of the moment. We are sad that you're no longer the tiny baby we once held and rocked but at the same time happy that you are getting stronger and healthier and meeting all your milestones on time.

Happy 1/2 birthday Anak! You complete us. Life is more meaningful with you around. Always remember, we love you to the moon and back.

What? My Baby is already five months?
I can't believe how time flies so fast!!!
Don't blink or you will miss their milestones.
Cuddle as much as you can, sleep together as much as you can.
They are only babies once. And before you know it, they will be crawling, walking. They will be independent and will not need you anymore, waaahhhh!!!
Baby Abie, please remember that Daddy and I love you very much and we will be here for you no matter what.
My birth story and more
My birthing story is traumatic for hubby and me, I don't want to relive it. Looking back, I couldn't believe Agie and I did it! The labour was long and dry but at soon as i had skin to skin contact with Abie, the pain of giving birth was almost gone. The most painful part was the stitches for my third-degree tear (and the drama that went with it) but since all the wounds are now healed, I can say bring on baby # 2! 😃
My contraction started on the 26th of Feb at around 6:00 am; went to the hospital at 6:00 pm and was told I am 8cn dilated. With 2cms more to go, I didn't ask for epidural. At 9:00 pm, a catheter was attached to me as i cant seem to pass urine! At 12mn, they broke my water and at 1:05 am I had my little one.
Weighing 3.05 kgs Arabella Gaile is the most wonderful thing that happened to us.
