A Year Ago..

pre-birthday entry...
this photo was taken exactly 365 days ago.. see hasif, u were still in my tummy at tht time.. waiting for the big day to make ur grand entrance to the world.. ma looked like at walrus at tht time (though i was only seven and a half months pregnant at tht time).. nooo i looked more like a 10-months' pregnant walrus.. tht's more like it :D i may not be the prettiest sight to watch at tht time, but i thank God for letting me having u hasif.. n thanks papa for being so patient n so charming..

see hasif, ma's protuding tummy.. u were inside :)

mama with hasif in my tummy.. during this time i was around 4 months' pregnant.. the face starts to become rounder n rounder..


Prettiest Mom

Before I was a Mom
I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby.
I didn’t worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.

Before I was a Mom
I had never been puked on.
Pooped on.

Chewed on.
Peed on.
I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts.
I slept all night.

Before I was a Mom
I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.

Before I was a Mom
I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn’t want to put him down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn’t stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.

Before I was a Mom
I didn’t know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.
I didn’t know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby.
I didn’t know that bond between a mother and her child.
I didn’t know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy.

Before I was a Mom
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn’t know I was capable of feeling so much,
before I was a Mom..

so true.. so true.. no matter how 'mengerbang' our hair seems to be like, with our son/daughter, there's no such thing as bad hair day :D we are pretty at heart (though we look like a walrus ehehe)..
