This is the day that the Lord has made!

At 10:30AM an elderly went to my private room to bring me to the operating room. I knew I was ready for it and yet I was a little bit scared. On my way to the delivery or operating room in a wheelchair, my husband took pictures of me. It might not be obvious but I was a bit afraid that something might happen during the operation but on the other hand I was also happy and excited because at last I will see my baby. As we passed through the ward section with the mommies and babies there, I was trying to concentrate on just thinking about my baby and forget about mishaps. My husband had to stop at the OR door since he was not allowed inside. I kept a smile on my face. The building is a bit old, so the feeling is weird. I’m not sure but the more I get closer to the delivery room the more I felt scared. The ambiance did not help since the walls are not white or clean and the things they used did not look new or sophisticated as well, I don’t know but I thought it looked like those in the horror films and I did not like it. Anyway, I held my “Lord of Pardon” booklet tightly and kept praying and pacifying myself that it will be all right. Then people came and started putting gadgets and cleaning my tummy. Then I had my anesthesia injected through my spinal column and then later on I started to feel numb and I could not move my legs or my body. Then my OB, anesthesiologist, pediatrician and other hospital staff prayed before the operation. I prayed

“Lord, there is nothing more I ask today but for safe delivery of my baby Cedric and a healthy alive me.
Please also help this people so that they me do what they have to do as they should.
Guide their hands for me and my baby.”

I kept on telling myself it will be just fine and that I need to be strong for Cedric. Then suddenly I could hardly breathed. I told my anesthesiologist about it. Then an oxygen was given to me. Then I breathed deeply and told myself again that I have to be strong and that nothing bad will happen and that me and my baby will be just fine. Then I heard them talked about Noynoy and the rest of the candidates and who is going to win. Somehow, it helped me forget about how nervous I was. Later on, I heard them say my baby is a big healthy boy then minutes after I saw Cedric and I kissed him on his forehead. His eyes were open and he looked at me as if he already saw me. I was relieved. And for a while I thought “Who did he look like?” hehehe! Well, it is true. I did think about it. Then I felt I would like to vomit. Then later on I saw my OB stitching the wounds and after a while they injected something to make me sleep. Then I woke up in the recovery area or should I say recovery lobby. Then minutes after I was already brought to my room. I did not talk yet as what my mama told me. This was so I wouldn’t get gas in my stomache so I had to write down what I want to say. It was a long day but I managed to get through it and I was very happy. Indeed, it was the day the Lord has made for Cedric to be brought to the world for me and my Lordly.
