Finally, my husband made it. Congrats lab. We are so proud of you.

Other new puppies in the house

Maggie gave birth last week and today Sassy gave birth today to  2 healthy puppies, male and female. She already knew how to take care of her puppies since she had given birth several times before. It’s another blessing for us. We are praying that we’ll have buyers the soonest possible time. We thank God for his provisions.

Maggie is now a Mommy

Congratulations to my little doggie. She just gave birth to 5 little puppies on  February  8. She had 4 females and 1 male. So sad, the only male puppy died yesterday. He was too tiny and weak. We did everything just to save him but the puppy was too weak. But it’s okay. We still have 4 healthy puppies left. Thank God for the puppies.  It would be of great help financially.

Thank God for our Baby CeeJay

I really thank God for giving us a healthy baby boy. I gave birth on January 6, 2012 at 1:53 PM. Giving birth is really not easy. I was in labor for 24 hours. It was really painful. I was in labor for that long and yet when the doctor took an IE, my cervix is still 5 cm. My water bag didn’t break. The OB had to break it and she expected that my cervix will reach 7 – 8 cm after an hour. But when she came back, nothing’s changed. It was still 5cm. The pain increased and I wanted to scream but I couldn’t. I wanted to stand and walk around but they won’t allow. I feel I could no longer bear the pain. I was running out of breath. The OB then decided that I undergo a CS. I was kinda relieved when she said that. I had to go through all the pain as if I was going to have a normal delivery but the ending is I’ll be giving birth through CS. I was brought to the operating room around 12:45. I was sedated and I fell asleep. I was then awakened by the cry of my baby. I was happy that finally my baby is here. I thank God that everything’s okay. Everyone in the family’s happy for this wonderful gift of life. I know my task as a mother is a lifetime commitment. I still have to learn a lot of things on how to nurture my child in the right way. But with God on my side, I know everything will work out right.

I'm Coming Out Mama

My baby's kicks are getting harder and harder. It seems he's screaming "I'm coming out, mama". He's very responsive to music, noise, and touch. I have the feeling that my baby will come out this week.  I am so excited for the coming of my baby and hold him in my arms. 

Happy New Year Everyone

Thank God for keeping us safe under His care for the past years. Now that 2012 is here, I am still holding on to God's promises that He will never leave us nor forsake us. I know trials may come but I have a big, rich, powerful God who is my source of strength. I know we can overcome everything through Him. Happy New Year everyone. 

Everything Happens For A Reason

All things work together for good to those who love HIM (Jesus). This is really true in my life. When I got married, there were a lot of trials that we faced but God helped us overcome those trials. If we just trust on HIM, everything will really turn out right. We may not know instantly the purpose for those things to happen but God will reveal to us in His time. Last month, we faced another trial. We were harassed by people who are claiming that they own the other house (the other unit at the back of our house where my sister in law land my husband’s relatives live). My husband’s cousin also was claiming that he owns the house. The truth is that, it was his cousin’s account in Pag-ibig that they used (of course with consent). He knows that he didn’t even spend a single centavo for that house. We already gave up the other unit to the one’s harassing us to avoid trouble but the situation became worse since my husband’s relatives living on the other unit won’t leave the house. His cousin even threatened that he’s going to kill us. It stressed a lot. The situation becomes worse since there are two parties claiming the house. Everyday (As early as 5 am), the other party claiming the house comes and talk to my husband. One day when my husband was not around, they came back and I was the one who talked to them. I don’t like the way he talks because he sound like threatening us if we won’t give the house. I was crying out of fear. I was so worried. When my husband came, he was so worried since I am on the third trimester of my pregnancy. So we decided to give up the house and hand it over to the other party since his cousin already is living on the other house. We looked for a house to be rented. Thanks God for his provisions. We were able to find a house to rent.

Just yesterday, the city was flooded including some parts of Misamis Oriental because of the typhoon Sendong.  Vamenta Subdivision was also affected. It was where we used to live. A friend told us that the place was also flooded and that the people living there stayed on their roof just to save themselves. God really spared us from the flood. Now I know that God allowed those trials to happen to spare us from the flood. He really reveals everything in the right time, in His time.
