I was busy this morning. I thought of gathering all the maternity clothes that I wore and decided to packed them away. I'm not sure who will use them next so I decided to keep them here instead of sending them to my sisters. But one thing that I promised my self is that I won't be using them again (hopefully, lol!). Don't get me wrong, being pregnant is one of the most wonderful journey in a woman's life. But hubby and I decided not to have another child. First because my OB advised me that it will be difficult for me and second, we already have a girl and a boy in the family so that makes us complete.
I'm also very happy to know that I can already fit in to some of my pre-pregnancy clothes. I removed them from the boxes and wear some of them now though some still don't fit yet. I still need to lose 4 more kilos. I'm preparing my self for our daughter's graduation which is two weeks from now. I hope that by then, I can already walk normally and I can already fit in my fromal dress.
I was able to watched the last part of the Oscars yesterday. I was so glad to know that Sandra Bullock won the Best Actress award. I knew it from the start that she'll get the trophy. I was able to watch The Blind Side and I admire her talent on the film. She also delivered one of the most endearing speech I've ever heard. Here's what she said:
“Did I really earn this or did I just wear you all down? I would like to thank the Academy for allowing me in the last month to have the most incredible ride with rooms full of artists that I see tonight and that I’ve worked with before and I hope to work with in the future, who inspire me and blaze trails for us. Four of them that I’ve fallen deeply in love with I share this night with and I share this award with.”
“Gabby, I love you so much. You are exquisite. You are beyond words to me. Carey, your grace and your elegance and your beauty and your talent makes me sick. Helen, I feel like we are family through family and I don’t have the words to express just what I think of you. And Meryl, you know what I think of you and you are such a good kisser.I have so many people to thank for my good fortune in this lifetime and this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, I know. To the family that allowed me to play them, the Tuohy family, I know they’re in here and you’ll probably hear her in a minute. Maybe not. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to… the family that made this film that gave me the opportunity to do something different. John Lee Hancock, Gil Netter, Alcon, Warner Bros., the actors, everyone who’s shown me kindness when it wasn’t fashionable, I thank you. To everyone who was mean to me when it wasn’t… George Clooney threw me in a pool years ago. I’m still holding a grudge. But there’s so many people to thank.”
The last part is what I love most....
“Not enough time, so I would like to thank what this film is about for me which are the moms that take care of the babies and the children no matter where they come from. Those moms and parents never get thanked. I, in particular, failed to thank one. So… if I can take this moment to thank Helga B. for not letting me ride in cars with boys until I was 18 because she was right. I would’ve done what she said I was gonna do. For making me practice every day when I got home. Piano, ballet, whatever it is I wanted to be. She said to be an artist, you had to practice every day, and for reminding her daughters that there’s no race, no religion, no class system, no color, nothing, no sexual orientation that makes us better than anyone else. We are all deserving of love. So, to that trailblazer, who allowed me to have that. And this. And this. I thank you so much for this opportunity that I share with these extraordinary women and my lover Meryl Streep. Thank you.”
Today is my scheduled c-section operation. At 12noon today, we will be heading to the hospital. the little girl is coming with us because she don't have class. It's good that today is a holiday. As of now, I got mixed emotions. I'm nervous, scared but excited. I know I will have to go through the same pain that I went through during my first c-section but I know I'll have to endure. Last night my daughter and my husband prayed for me. I'm so touched.
May the Lord be with me as I go through all the pains....
Hi! I'm Mhay.. I'm on my 30's....and a mom to two adorable kids...and I'm a Manic Mama. Being a mom is a responsibility that is both challenging and rewarding. There's no formal school in becoming a mom. We learn to be trained on the job. It is a career that never ends. And this blog aims to chronicle the ups and downs of my life as a MOM!
