Greatest Gift Ever Received...

April 8, 2011, 4:10am, marked the happiest moment in my and Jake's life.  April 7th was such a painful day, but it was worth it.  The moment I saw Matteo, my heart leaped with joy and love for him, despite feeling weak after the delivery.  It was such a day to remember and nothing could ever equal that precious moment.

Even until now, I'm having these mixed emotions...joy and fear tops them all.  Joy of having my precious little one in my life, joy of watching my husband having moments with his son, and at the same time, there's the fear of failing as a good mom to Matteo.  I know life isn't perfect, but the thought of failing as a mom to my son in any aspect scares me.

But, I have my husband to stay beside me and care for Matteo for the rest of our lives.  Our relationship as a couple have failed several times, but we stood together through all of it.  And as days go by, my happiness goes to the nth level every time I see hubby hug and kiss Baby Matteo.  It's like an assurance for me that his love for us will be forever and nothing and no one will ever break our family apart.  We will get through every thing together...

Jake and Matteo are my strength, happiness...MY LIFE...

Matteo Nicholas...

2 days from now and I'm due to give birth to our first baby...hubby and I are so excited to see our own little one...

Currently on inggit-mode to my kabatchmates...2 of them already gave birth and the other is on her way to the hospital...

Since I learned that I'm pregnant, I was already inclined on naming my baby, Daniel Nicholas...but it was just this morning that I changed my mind.  I just finished typing the details to be put in my baby's birth certificate, so mistakes will be avoided, if not minimized.

Matteo Nicholas...mama and daddy are excited to hold you in our arms

hugs and kisses!!!

So this is how it feels...

For almost two years, I was busy prepping for our wedding.  Discussing things with prospective suppliers, haggling...I was sooo appreciative even with the littlest things they did for me.  Until now that our wedding is finished, I don't think I will ever get tired of commending those who have made our wedding "A Day to Remember" in our lives.

My w@w kumares and I ventured into coordination and along with that, I started up a small business which is wedding cord and unity candle making.  Glad to say that Events and Celebrations by Allianz Sisters is doing good and have booked several clients already.:)  I must say we are doing well in assisting our couples in their preps.  Hoping and praying that things would go even better in the coming days.:)

As for my Binds 2 Forever business, a fellow w@w sister, Len ni Orj, ordered a wedding cord for her sister-in-law, my first client after the official launch.  I was so excited that the day after she confirmed her order, I went out and bought the materials I needed.  It took me a couple of hours, I think, in choosing the materials I'd be using...LOL!:)  Did the cord the moment I got home...dismantled...did it all over again...and voila!  Here are some of the pictures hubby took of the blue crystal beads wedding cord for Sis Len's SIL.:)

 

I, myself, fell in love with the cord I made for Len's SIL.:)  I find it simple yet really elegant and eye-catching because of its color.

And this, made my day:

 

Now, I know how our wedding suppliers felt upon reading my messages for them after our wedding...this warmed my heart and inspired me even more to come up with designs for my upcoming clients.:)

Misses Blogging...

It has been a while since my last post.  Must have been caught up with things that matter most these days.:)

Me and hubby, as well as our family and friends are really excited in welcoming Baby Nicholas in the outside world.  Overwhelming gifts, prayers and wishes for our first baby...it just makes me feel so much loved.

There have been things that I put on hold for a while, nevertheless, I'll be bringing them out in the open in the coming weeks.  For now, it will be Baby Nicholas, hubby, and me...:)
