I never thought that I would give birth in a Makati Condo. 7 months had passed since I came to know that I was pregnant. This haven has been my resting place. It is a witness to my morning sickness, bloating, vomiting, spotting, and all the things that happen to a woman when bearing a child. Worst thing is that it was my first.

Another thing that added to my frustration was that my husband was so far from me. He was miles away working in another country. I badly wished that he was with me. I needed his support, encouragement, hugs, and kisses. But anyway, he needed to be away from me.

I know that it is for the future of my family but sometimes I tend to think about having a simpler life as long as I have him with me. It could have been a wonderful time to have him near while I was pregnant, especially that I gave birth to a bouncing baby girl here in our sweet home.
