My Wonderful Boy - PJ

For today's blog, I thought of sharing my story on how my first boy happened, but not the full details, of course! Lol!

I was just 22 years old when I got pregnant on my first son. I cannot completely say whether having him was an accident nor bearing him was done on purpose. Making love, as how I see it, is not an accident and could never be one, rather a passionate choice you and your other half lovingly made. Another thing is, I and my boyfriend were just on a 4-month relationship that time. I guess the decision of having a child was a fifty-fifty one I and my boyfriend did or maybe much higher on his part as he was the one who really wanted us to have a baby and kept on encouraging me. He gave me lots of reasons why we should have a baby and start a family. There I was being absolutely in love with him soon enough gave in. It was November of 2010 when my monthly guest suddenly unpaid me a visit. First time since we got together. I was terribly nervous. Who wouldn't be? My parents didn't know I have a boyfriend and worse, I'm pregnant, which I wasn't so sure yet. But my gut feeling was telling me I was. Oh my! I was into a big mess.

Look at how my gut feeling turned into a naughty boy!

Okay, going back, I and my boyfriend waited for a couple of weeks before doing the pregnancy test. I could still clearly remember such day while both of us were waiting desperately for the result. It was like the longest minute in our lives. Yes, he was with me inside the bathroom, my ever-supportive boyfriend. The long wait came and there right in front of us were two red lines. It was a positive, obviously. He smiled, a sweet, nervous smile. And I smiled back. Within a month or two, we were already able to look for and visit an OB and had the ultrasound. You know the feeling of being pregnant the first time and hearing your baby's heartbeat. Oh! I could nearly cry. We were like the happiest couple in the entire universe for months. Until 5 months later, I was caught. I rarely went home since I was so afraid my parents would notice my tummy getting bigger. Anyway, I wouldn't want to go back to that day I felt extremely embarrassed and made my parents very disappointed.

Here's the controversial baby now. The baby who washed away disappointments and turned them into pure joy.

Our family never had a baby cause I and my siblings have close age gaps. So it was my adorable fellow who started brightening up our gloomy and quiet house. I can't just explain the happiness a baby can give to the family. He gave sweet smiles and huge laughter to our faces and he's the mere reason we get to have more family bonding.

The first time families on both sides were complete when my baby turned two. By the way, his name is Procie Jezaiah "PJ".

For the next post, it will be for my second son.
