Anyway, my post today is more about how I turned and embraced the fact that we have a beautiful baby girl.
As some of you know, I really wanted a boy. All because I wanted someone to carry our last name. But I do agree that having a girl first seems best for the siblings following her because older sisters or "ates" in Filipino can be more caring and somehow responsible about her younger siblings. I should know. I had one who always looked out for me and my younger sister. Up until the final moments of delivery, i was still hoping for a boy. I actually had prepared my announcement that it was a boy in my mobile phone's draft messages. I was that set on having a boy. So I won't deny that when I saw that we had a girl, I really was caught by surprise. I didn't know how to react. But I guess that's what we get for deciding NOT to find out the gender.
It was only after a few days that I actually accepted that I now have to look after a daughter. (suddenly I hear Daughter's by John Mayer in my head) hehe I now LOVE the fact that I have a baby girl and I can't get enough of her. What was I thinking wanting a boy!?! hehe
I love my little princess and if you look at the photo I included here, she looks like a really pretty girl in the making already! We all know how newborn babies tend to look like either a boy or girl with their short hair and all. Usually we can only tell cuz of the pink clothes or the blue blankets. But in the photo, I can see our princess. I actually just came across this photo in my camera, which I think bernice's friends took while I was outside of the room. It's a bit blurred but I love it :)
