meet my zoie!

f u hadn't guessed it yet, YES, I ALREADY GAVE BIRTH TO A HEALTHY, BEAUTIFUL BABY. meet my very own princess, angel: sophia marie gabrielle tapayan velasco! woke up on december 14 with menstrual cramps that continued all throughout the day. sister marliz panicked and kept on fidgeting asking if we are to go to the hospital or not. decided to wait until it really hurts, wouldn't want to face those grumpy nurses telling me to come back another day. so did yoga and waited for ronald to come home. after a lot of prodding from my bestfriend ai and from a now panicky marliz, we decided to go to the hospital. and guess what? i got to face the monster resident! as in! super kainis.. she was so horrible, she told me to go home because i was only just 1cm like i wasted her all too precious time. so we went home, with me thinking i never want to go back again and telling my husband that yes, i will just give birth at home.. call the ambulance after!

by 2 am the pain was already unbearable.. i
was soo sleepy that i'd drift off but get awaken by super painful contractions with intervals of 10 minutes, 7 minutes, 5 minutes, 4 minutes.. when it came to 3 minute interval, i was already doing a lot of lamaze breathing that Dea had decided to wake Marliz up for us to go to another drive to the hospital. the dreadful resident was still there and even had the nerve to ask me why i came back.. that i was just two cm away. she said that it would still take me 2 or 3 days to get to 10cm. i could have slapped her if i wasn't in too much pain! contractions continued... sobrang sakit!! i had to grope the table next to me. sad with psh, u get to have labor on ur own.. no husband, no sisters, no other relatives or friends allowed. it's just you and you alone. hahai! by 10am, i was already on 7 cm and a few minutes after that 8, then 9, then 10! off to the delivery room! pretty fast huh? that resident was dead wrong. by 10:47am after a lot of grunting and shouting of "mommmy!!!!" i heard the first cries of my wonderful baby!

stressful sleep-driven but definitely HAPPY days followed. zoie either breastfeeding, sleeping, crying and enduring endless picture taking sessions with mommy, daddy and the paparazzie aunties mabel and mar
liz! =)
