6 months of motherhood
rauf is six months old today and i endlessly thank God for giving me the greatest blessing i have ever received.
when i look at him, i constantly think that i don't really deserve to be a mom. many of you know that i was quite apprehensive about his coming. as is natural, i was worried that i wouldn't be up to par. i have been an OC-perfectionist for as long as i can remember, and i knew for sure that i wasn't fully-equipped and prepared for motherhood.
six months into mothering rauf, i now know that being a mommy is a continuous learning experience. probably the greatest learning experience i will ever undergo... and this is for a lifetime. i'd like to think that rauf & i are growing together. slowly, surely, and reaching a point where he knows that i'm his mom, and i accept that i can never do everything perfectly when it comes to being a mommy. but we are both trying to level things off in the best way possible.
his daddy loves us and is always there for us, but at the end of the day, it's just me and rauf at home. lola mommy (my mom) is a sneeze away, but i know that rauf is my responsibility. at night, when he fidgets and shows signs that he's getting sleepy, it's just the two of us, and these are the moments i cherish the most...
just me and him... rauf and i, the bouncing, fidgety little ball, errr, boy and the mommy who is trying to get most things right.

You are a very nice mommy and a great person for having these thoughts. Reading you, I would like to believe that I would be very happy of the thought that perhaps my mom also had similar apprehensions and at the same time strength and tenacity as the mother who brought up all seven of us.
sus... rauf is lucky to have you as his mom, plang. :-*
thanks mano dan... your post is making me teary-eyed lugod... hehehe :)
about mothers, i have never appreciated my mom more than now. totoo pala yung sabi-sabi ng mga matatanda: you'll know when you're there. very very true, indeed. :)
hehe. thanks, te peach. he has no choice! mwehehe :)
You are doing great, Apryll.. God bless all 3 of you! :))
Mommy knows best :) Rauf is lucky.
But then again, there's that rumor that angels choose the parents that they are born to...
awwww... iwant to have a baby na din...but i think its not yet the right time...i envy you and the rest of the moms out there
rauf is my little angel and imp rolled into one. and i love him to bits! :)
don't hurry. fix things first :) but only God knows when it's Time :)
Congratulations! Congratulations! Congratulations!
wah kalaksi hes 6 months na!! I think everyone has this concept of what kind of a mother they will be but it becomes a totally different story when it becomes a reality. I bet our parents had a lot of trial and errors with us being both eldest and we sure didnt come with a manual or a handbook. Rauf didnt come with one either and you are doing the best you can and it shows. This boy is super loved.
thanks pat! sayang wala ka sa celeb/party/excuse-for-inuman :)
