Sunday thoughts,baby!

Its almost 4 am and here I am wide awake chasing my thoughts.."Lord I
offer my life to you"on my playlist is on repeat.In less than 50 days we will be having a baby.That mixed-feeling of excitement and anxiety is quite wrapping me up.Being a mother for the first time is both thrilling and scary..I cant stop scrolling over amazon  for all those baby stuffs I still need to have. And I guess I already watched all labor and delivery videos in youtube.haha!
I want to be prepared,nevertheless, giving birth is expecting the unexpected.And yes,it scares the shit out of me but the only thing I can do for now is to pray for a smooth and oh so breezy labor and delivery.I believe that God put me on this moment because He knows I/ We already can.I pray for a safe delivery and a healthy baby boy..and if its not too much to ask,i pray for a painless and easy delivery of my son..if not painless( a little pain will do but please give me the strength I need) I love you,Lord!hehe :)
Writing this makes me calm and assured because I know God got my back, as always.




Love is,finally getting that first look at your growing baby.Even before I feel that tiny somersault in my belly or even before I see him,I have fallen in love with this baby with all my heart.When I finally see how he looks like,how fast it grows and how magical it is,Ive been transformed into a whole new being..not only a mere woman,but a mother.There's no other love that is pure and as powerful as a mother's to her child.

Chill ka muna dyan, anak! We got this!

         

So,as you are busy growing inside mommy's tummy we threw you a baby shower party to celebrate parenthood and a sweet baby on the way.I wanted it to be a travel theme one because we can't wait to travel the world with you, our little explorer. Your dada and I dreamed of taking family pictures together  as we chase you on a beach or take you to a new place once a year or simply taking wacky and ordinary moments with you.

                          

Here's some of the details from the baby shower,but everyone's busy catching up and eating out that we forgot to play the games we prepared. Nontheless,its still fun-filled to be surrounded with friends(oh more of  a family) who are as excited as me and mark!Even if I still wish my mama and papa were here and everything will be perfect sana. But God planned this out already so, just trusting His beautiful timings.

As a book lover, I am elated to found this book "Oh Baby The Places You'll Go" an adaptation of Dr.Seuss book.I made it as a guest book for the shower.It is something we can look back as I read stories to my little one.So to say,this will be my baby's first book and more to collect soon.Yes I am really into details and is sentimental.In fact, I keep all the gift tags from the shower  and put it on my baby milestone book ready to be filled up.hehe!

Sharing these few pages from the book and the sweet thoughts from our friends.I am always thankful for sensible,full of wisdom kind of people.My kind of persons,really!Not just the nicest but faith-rooted ones  who you can rely upon.

Posting here on my blog some snapshots from the shower. (something to look back in the future!)

We are so thankful and blessed to be surrounded with our Hazard family here in US.God blessed us with the kindest and the best people we prayed for.We couldn't ask for more. Our hearts are full for the gifts,foods and effort you showered us. We always thank God for you!We might not be able to return it but God has His wonderful ways to give it back to you !

:)

We must have done something good in our lives to deserve the love you made us feel. We are incredibly blessed with friends not just those who are near but friends I dont talk to most of the times but sent their gift from across the states.Thank you Jozara,Gemma,Ate Gi, The Sangalangs,Ms Anne and Kuya Anthony, Ate Kakai and family,Ate Mavic and family,The Nicholas.Know that we love you and wish you are just steps away from us!God bless your generous hearts!


So as we patiently wait for you anak,we pray for you to be healthy and feel free to kick me as much as you want.I might not be fully prepared and worry most of the times if i can be a good mom to you but I can assure you,that me and dada will give our best shot to be the best parents to you!

Here's a piece of cake to remind us that you are Landing Soon.When I dont know what I feel..

I will sing..

Lord, I offer my life to You

Everything I've been through, use it for Your glory

Lord I offer my days to You

Lifting my praise to You as a pleasing sacrifice

Lord I offer You my life

What can we give that You have not given?

And what do we have that is not already Yours?

All we possess are these lives we're living

That's what we give to You, Lord

So yes,just complete surrender and lift everything up to Him! :)

Time to sleep,its already Monday again!

:)
