Christmas Blessing

With all the weddings that we attended last year and this year I almost forgot to tell you about one of the blessing that God allowed us to experience was to help my friend give birth. I was her lamaze partner because her husband is working abroad as a seaman. My friend Ate Jing is the person who is always there for me and Carlo whenever we need help. So I think it's just right that it's time for us to return the favor. Kahit walang favor I am willing to help her kahit ano. We attended 3 sessiond to learn lamaze and after that we need to pass an examination in order for us to get a certificate. Praise God we passed. We were expecting her to give birth December 28, 2008 but she started having contraction December 21 - 23. During those times we'll receive a call from her and we'll bring her to St Luke's. Then after 6 hours the doctor will send us home saying it's not yet time. Imagine yung pagod, puyat at frustration naming tatlo everytime they will send us home. On December 24 we slept all day to recharge and also prepare for Noche Buena. We went to Fairview at my mom's house to celebrate Christmas and be with my family because we have a little reunion. At 10pm we received a txt from Ate Jing telling us to go to St Luke's and it is time! It is our first time to celebrate Christmas at the hospital but it was an unforgettable one. The baby was born December 25, 2008 at 2pm. Her name is Jihanna Melisse Linga but we like to call her Baby Girl (inspired from Annabelle Rama's movie)
