You are the start of my everything.
It was a Friday. I woke up at 3 in the morning due to so much pain. Little did I know it was THE time.
Bubba, it was the most painful thing I ever had to do in my life. Luckily it was just a 2 hour labor because mama (together with daddy, mommy, tita Kym and tita Dei) arrived at the hospital when she was already 8cm dilated. I called your papa at around 6 am telling him that we're on the way to the hospital. Contractions were painful but bearable (Mama later on realized that she has a severely high tolerance for pain) I did not ask for anything that would divert the pain. I wanted to embrace chidlbirth as natural as possible.
Come 10:42 am, you finally graced us with your presence. I could never be happier but I was exhausted. That's why when my OB-GYN made me kiss you for the first time and I did and I was in love so instantly, I passed out.
I don't know who took your first few photos (I think it was daddy)
Your first photo with your Titas although I honestly find this photo very funny
I didn't know what to feel when I first saw you. When your nurses handed you over to me, your papa cried. You ask him about it. I was scared and anxious. I do not know how to be a mother but I promised you that I will try my very best. And I am trying.
I loved you the moment I saw you. I believe it is what they call love at first sight. I didn't know that something so perfect would come from me. Every day, I thank God for blessing me with a little miracle.
Lior, you do not know how much you're making everyone happy just by your smile. You're wonderful and you're our light. Especially Mama's. You're Mama's light. That's why I named you Lior.
Thank you for being here my son. I love you so much. You always always always have to remember that.
Love, Mama
