she's havin' a baby...finally!

i remember when my sister, mae, and i would pass by a maternity shop in glorietta, she would always chant the name of the shop..."havin' a baby!" even when we were younger, mas has always liked babies. perhaps like is not even the right word to describe it, love is probably a better way to put it. from friends' babies, nieces and nephews, to ais' and mine's little bundles of joy, all these kids never escaped mae's ever loving arms. i remember how she always loved to carry my boys when they were babies, and nathan, my nephew, and now that my boys are babies no more, and nathan has started to walk, mae would always say how much she misses their baby-hood. yes she was and is still the great tita spoiler......buying stuff for these 3 boys, treating them to jollibee every now and then (except nathan who was still a baby when she left manila) and always calling them her babies. ais and i are very lucky to have her around after giving birth for she was always the yaya you never had to pay, she was always the tita who loved our babies like they were hers. for years she took very good care of our little ones, and for years too, she hoped to have her own.......

well, the long wait is over.....she's finally having a baby! her own baby to cuddle, to spoil, to love, just like what she did with tristan, jason and nathan. there is probably no better word to describe how she feels at the moment, now that she was finally blessed with her own little one. and there is no doubt as to how good of a mother she would be. after having taken care of 3 babies years ago, she's finally taking care of her own, and what better timing than now when tristan, jason and nathan are babies no more. (but of course they would be forever her babies as what she would always say.) i am certain that mae would be a very loving mother, a very caring parent, a very wonderful mom.....and while she enjoys the big nine months, we are all filled with excitement to see our new baby. even tristan and jason are both excited to meet their new cousin, wishing on the side that it'll be a boy (well sorry my little ones, but i'm wishing hard that it'll be a girl!). it really doesn't matter, boy or girl, what's impportant is.....she's havin' a baby.....finally!
