WARNING: THIS IS A PERSONAL POST. You know what I realized, motherhood’s journey will not be the same with others. Always different from someone else. While most of the moms I know struggle from postpartum, or worries that their child‘s development is delayed, mine started as early as the 6th week of my pregnancy. My pregnancy was diagnosed as blighted ovum. Thankfully, the following week a heartbeat was found. Then on my 21st week, an echogenic focci was found on my baby’s heart, which is a down syndrome markdown so imagine the torture it brought me. But you know what, pregnancy prepares you to motherhood. It made me realize that I am made of tough stuff, physically and mentally. Not only can I endure massive amounts of pain, but my body can deliver life and nourish life. This whole journey strengthens not only me, but my faith in God. It is always miraculous. My last ultrasound showed no markdown at all. My baby is clear from any possible congeniality disorder now.
And as a simple tribute to my journey, my siblings and I prepared a simple celebration with friends and family who share their love and care to this little munchkin nesting inside me.
Beyond blessed to be expecting a baby girl due this coming June!
