What to Wear

What should babies wear? From the time they were born, parents should have their 'welcome clothes' ready. In my case, since I had a CS birth, what we prepared had gone haywired. Os didn't have any idea what to bring. I was in a state where I want baby to come out already! We missed bringing the baby clothes and cap to the operating room. So baby was swaddled... naked except for a diaper, which the nurses in the room provided. Because of tension, Os didn't cut the umbilical cord, didn't see the placenta, didn't take picture inside. What we planned for, they didn't happen. But of all its worth, Os was beside me, comforting me. When the attending OB said, "It's a girl!". All I remembered was, "YES!" coming from him. So he wanted a girl! HA HA. I was in a groggy state so I barely remember everything. He just keep on reminding me that it's a girl. And she looks like me. When I saw her, she has her eyes closed, and yawning, and blinking her eyes, as if to tell me "Mommy, I'm here." Hi hi hi. It was so perfect a sight to see. And so much a relief for me. Finally, I thanked God for making it so smooth and FAST. Just like what I prayed for. HA HA.
