A year ago, we knew not that Aires was already pregnant. The news came as a surprise. What a surprise it was!
Now, Heaven is almost six months old. Had he been born full term, he would be 4.5 months. He has grown from a teeny tiny premature baby to a terribly expressive and active infant. He coos and goes eeeh-aaah. He can hold his head up high and stand on his sprightly legs. He can clasp his hands together. He loves going out and enjoys a lot of chat time.
He is exclusively breastfed and has not been sick except for one bout of post-vaccination fever. He turns to Aires for his feeding time. He turns to me for his playtime.
It has not been smooth-sailing for Aires though. She had to return to work when Heaven was four months old. Heaven goes with us to work and stays at my office’s nursery room. Aires drops by three times in a day to feed Heaven. Thank God for breastfeeding blouses that have helped Aires do breastfeeding more comfortably.
There are no regrets at all. We are not spending for infant formula. We are sure that Heaven won’t get hospitalized in his early years. He is strong, healthy, and amazingly responsive.
Breastfeeding is hard work. But like with hard work, the results are rewarding. We are eager to see Heaven’s next developmental milestone. Will he finally learn to roll over? Will he finally learn to follow the Close-Open song? Will he finally utter Nanay or Tatay? We just can’t wait for the next surpise.
