He was right!

Micron sleeping soundly

Well, Micro is a Mad Genius. When we kept asking Micro when the baby was coming, he was very adamant about the number '7'. If you read my previous post, we thought he meant Micron would come on the 7th of September. She didn't. But Micro did guess right in some small way. I gave birth to Micron in Room #7 in the hospital. As I had walked around the maternity floor of the hospital in the wee hours of that Friday morning, hoping to speed my labor, Mr. Fliz and I passed by room #7 and he remarked, "What if we give birth there, and that's what (Micro) meant?" Lo and behold, Micro was right.

Funny, how life works out. Kids are amazing. Micron is now 12 days old and already she has begun to change. She is a sound sleeper and sleeps hard during the day. Her Kuya (older brother, aka, Micro) is fascinated by her. Micro is able to answer what his sister's name is, loves to kiss her, and laughs when she can't control her head. I'm looking forward to them growing closer as years wear on. One can hope right?

How is life with two kids under two? Give me a few more months to answer that. For now, we're still adjusting and trying to get into a rhythm.

About Time!! Hi "Micron!"

I knew it from the beginning and even before.

I don't know what it is, perhaps it's a mother's instincts, but I knew the baby inside was a "she" all along. Thank you God for another precious blessing. 

Micron was welcomed into this world on September 3, 2010 at 10:32 a.m., weighing in a "whopping" 6 lbs. 7 oz., and 19.29 inches long. Welcome my baby girl!!

Predictions

Whew! We made it into September successfully. No baby Micron yet. Though I've had quite a bit of preterm labor in the past few weeks, it seems Micron is holding out for a September birthday. I won't lie, I'm now ready to meet my baby and rid of the humongous belly. I've got only two more weeks (or less) til Micron debuts. Boy or girl? How many pounds and ounces? How long? Ahh, the endless questions of childbirth and everyone is putting their two cents in. Including Micro.

Two days ago, I asked Micro, "When do you think the baby will come? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5," and before I could say "6," he says, "7!" And he said it with such gusto, you'd think the kid was Nostradamus. So, only time will tell if my little fortune-teller or psychic is right. I don't want to be a cliche and actually give birth on Labor Day (this year it falls on my goddaughter's birthday). But who knows. Lola would prefer I give birth during the weekend (so it works better with her work schedule). Mr. Fliz would like Micron to arrive anytime between Monday thru Friday, and during the hours of 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., so we can publicly donate the baby's cord blood to the hospital. Yeah people, because I am a SuperWoman and can control all the elements of childbirth. Dream on. 

My best girlfriend's hubby predicted a 8/30 due date, Mr. Fliz thought 8/31, and my girlfriend, she opted for 9/1. Hmm, that's today. Well Micron, you just let me know when you're ready. I may not be, but that doesn't matter, because no matter what happens, you and I are in for a joy ride. I can't wait to meet you and shower you with hugs and kisses.
