motherhen, ny1?

Early morning yesterday, I received a txt from one of my bestest friends, “I’m pregnant! Congratulate me! Yehey!” She’s six weeks on the way and her baby has a heartbeat. A couple of months ago, two of my close friends delivered a bouncing baby boy. And just a week ago, over coffee, my girlfriend told me I should get pregnant ASAP. Believe it or not, a month ago, I cried having the thought of getting pregnant but it was only a false alarm which gave me the biggest relief,ever.

Why am I scared of getting pregnant?! My hubby and have been together for 5 years and almost a year of legally married. And we’re both in the “right age and right time” to start our own family. So, why in the world do I still have it as an issue?! I stop and reflect on my self. And iv realized that, im very satisfied in being a wife but I am not ready to become a mother. Maybe perhaps, I feel I still have obligations with my parents, my family and to my career. We both feel the same. Plus, having a child of your own entails a lot of responsibilities that I feel is too hard to handle on my turf (for now). Im not saying I don’t want to have kids. Who doesn’t want to see their genes pass on to the next generation, ayt? But I guess, not yet for now… (pero sabi nga nila, pag ibibigay eh d ibibigay di ba?!, pero gusto ko ata made abroad ang junakis ko para nde na Philppine passport hawak nya! Hehehe)

We’re carefully planning our life together. We are enjoying our couplehood and slowly embracing the reality of being a parent soon. Most importantly, we are praying for God's plan for us. and if that plans comes along the way, we will accept it wholeheartedly. We want to make sure that we will offer the “best life” for our child. And we want to be ready when we have him/her in our life (emotionally and financially). I guess the money part comes easy. But the questionable part is the emotions and the reality of being a parent that is kinda hard to sink it. wadaheck, they always say it’s almost automatically instinct- that parental instinct kicks in. so, I say, kampai to that.

But then again, on second thought, Im really not yet ready to kampai to that… (is it bad?!)
Are you ready to become a motherhen, ny1?!
