There seem to be a substantial amount of ladies getting pregnant lately. In Hollywood, there’s Jessica Alba, Angelina Jolie & 16 year old Jamie Lyn Spears. In the local scene there’s Jennilyn Mercado & Kris Aquino (?) I don’t know if that’s true. And of course, in my blogroll there’s Darlene & Peachy! Congratulations ladies!

It’s not that I want to join the bandwagon but I seem to be touching my tummy a lot these days. I’m missing those months that someone was parking there. There’s was a certain bond that existed between me & my baby. I miss my big, a bit pointy belly. Besides, nowadays I can’t use the phrase, “Can I finish your ice cream, I’m eating for 2 eh!”.

I take offense every time some of my friends discourage me to have another baby this soon. 4 years is the ideal age gap, they say. Well, it’s not as if I can exactly predict when I’m going to have a baby right? That’s up to the big boss upstairs. Even if I take extra precautions to avoid unplanned pregnancy, if I am bound to get pregnant, I will.

Ozzy was an unplanned pregnancy, but a great blessing nonetheless. A life changing blessing actually. Some young couple prolongs having a baby saying they are not ready yet. But when are we ever going to be ready, right? When I was with child, admittedly I was not ready - at all. But I took the challenges one day at a time. Slow & steady. The results? Unexplainable happiness & contentment.

I am not saying that you give birth every year! That’s plain crazy & unhealthy (for babies & moms); all I am saying is if it happens, it happens; if not, then just wait a few more months.

I’m just reminiscing here…
