Get Me Pregnant?!?
thammie128

I was having lunch with my mommy friends a few days ago and found out something interesting…

Mommy A: “Mare, balak niyo na pala ni Dennis ma-pregnant late this year?” *all smiles, excited for us*

Innocent me: “Huh?? Sino nagsabi? Saan galing yan? Wala akong alam na ganong balak a….”

Mommy A: “Si Dennis! It’s in his blog…one of his faith goals for this year daw.”

Innocent me: “Nge! Really?!? sige check ko! Wala siyang kinekwentong ganon sa akin a! Ewan ko sa kanya, ako wala akong ganong faith goal this year pa.”

…Now lately, quite a number of people have been telling me it’s about time I get pregnant again…as they all love to put it, “o, pwedeng-pwede na magka-baby ulit!”

Aahhhh!!! Nagugulo utak ko!! :D   I have been gliding along just fine and then now this thought pops up. Can you imagine the mixed emotions I’m having??

…So there we were having a wonderful lunch and then…

Mommy B: “O, thams! I heard you plan on having your next baby na a. Sige sabay tayo!!! *excited*”

Surprised me: “Ha?? You also heard that?? How come hindi ko alam yan, pero lahat kayo alam??”

Mommy B: “It’s in Dennis’ blog!”

….ayayay! I must see this blog!!… I must!!

So here I am, checking his previous entries.. Let me share that particular post here:

There is something about the new year. It seems like people automatically resets their goals and starts at zero. No matter how much I fight the idea of new year, new start- you can’t. I think it is innate among us to restart and refocus. Here are my goals for 2010 and I promise to give my best shot to make it happen

1. Finish the Bible in 90 days. Will introduce the reading program this coming Jan 8 at our church.

2. Shoot for my weight goal of 160 by the end of the year. ( this might be the toughest goal)

3. Create more family memories.

4. Make my dating time with wife more creative.

5. Finish our 3 to 6 months emergency fund.

6. Vacation with wife only.

7. Practice extreme, sacrificial generosity.

8. Make fasting a lifestyle.

9. Get my wife pregnant late this year ( what a happy goal)

10. Coach at least 4 people this year.

There you go. Hope I fulfill them by the end of the year.

——End of blog ————-

….Did you read that first part? “and I promise to give my best shot to make it happen“– that makes me happy in reference to all the other goals, but attach it to goal number nine??? Scary. :)

….So I therefore conclude….I will pray about it. We’ll see what happens late this year… :)

PS: Alyanna, out of the blue, told me the other day: “Mom, I want you to have another baby na in your tummy, but it’s not us….I want to be outside your tummy, and Mika will also be outside your tummy and then you just buy another baby for your tummy.”

(I had to explain that we don’t just buy babies, and that babies are God’s gift to us)…so all the more she got excited “mom! I want you to ask God na to give us a baby gift in your tummy!”

….again, Anak, we shall see…. :)

Happy New Year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! :)

Technically , it is still the first week of January so I can still use that greeting, right? :)

In case any of you were wondering why I haven’t written anything for so long, well, it was the holidays. I decided to take a break from blogging, mainly because I had to prioritize where I can better pour whatever time I’d have left after all the parties, get-togethers, and festivities. We had parties to go to almost every day since the last week of November and in some days, we had to go to up to four parties (well we really tried, but couldn’t go to all of them anymore). If ever we did have a day where we could stay home, it was our turn to host dinners here so I’d be cooking and preparing the whole time. I’m sure many of you went through the same schedule and would agree with me that though it is really fun building on our relationships and celebrating the season, it is also quite tiring. So even if I did have time to sit down and write, I didn’t really have enough energy to get myself to think anymore. Setting dinner tables, planning menus, coming up with holiday activities for the family squeezed out whatever creative juices I may have in this brain of mine. :)

Enough of that now, that’s part of 2009– already part of the past. I’m ready for the new year– with new challenges, new victories, new stories to share.

This year I make it my goal to live more, love more, and learn more. :)

What are your goals for this year? :)
