Embracing the Blessings

Been quite some time! It's now the 25th... around 8:30am and am doing some sort of acrobatics here while sitting on two ottomans placed side by side... I just opened the door to let in some fresh air into our home, but discovered there were also mosquitoes, so I'm on guard to make sure nothing gets into my little baby Marco's delicate skin....

Yep, you read that right... gave birth to baby Mark Cyrus a.k.a. Marco on Nov. 20, a Sunday and a family day. It's worth a labor that lasted almost 15 hours, but am really very blessed that my mom in law and my hubby were there to at least reassure me while I'm feeling those hellish labor pains....

My dad was there, too, to usher me and my new son in my private room in the hospital after the delivery. I can sense that he missed me a lot. Well, I did too.. but I hope he also saw how happy my husband is making me... so he can tell mom....

2nd week now of Daddy going to work as a teacher, finally. :) He's teaching English, MAPEH, and Values Education at a public school. I really dunno why, but every time he preps for work, the whole family always gets involved! Hahaha... that might not work for me when I finally get back to work myself....

Next week will be my final week before returning back to work. But I'll try to work weekends first. :) Then, the following week's going to be no day off work weeks again.

My horoscope's said it that the opportunities in my life are gonna slow down during the last part of the year, maybe even 'til the following year. But I'm not taking it negatively. So far, I'm enjoying it, embracing it... 'cause I really need to slow down a bit so that I could still enjoy my life and help my kids enjoy theirs too.

Especially Marky. He's been having bouts of jealousy with the new baby lately. I've talked to him prior to the delivery, and it seemed to have worked. But the problem was the people around him, who kept comparing him to the new baby, and who kept on spoiling him just so he won't feel envious. But he doesn't need to be spoiled so he won't be jealous. He just needs to understand what's going on and what his role will now be. I just really wish I could regain my strength soon so I could fully impose that. Marky can't come in contact with people who teach him stupid things....

That's it.

So help us, God.
