My officemates and I talked about babies, and why I shouldn't have one immediately right after marriage.
There are some points they mentioned that made me think. One, Gary and I wouldn't get to enjoy our togetherness. With a baby in tow, dates and trips wouldn't be hassle-free. Two, the fact that I wouldn't want to be a housewife, hence, I would be a working mom. Haggard! Imagine, nine hours at work and then disrupted hours of sleep because of a wailing, needy, baby. Three, my being jealous. Gusto ko ng bine-baby ako. If I don't outgrow this stage, I might get jealous of my own baby. Haha!
But I told them, I want to be a supermom! I want to be someone who will be able to take care of myself, my husband, and my family. Achieving that takes commitment, hardwork, faith, and most of all, love! Hihi!
So, what about the cute incident?
On my way home, I rode a jeep. I usually ride in front whenever there's a space. I sat next to the driver's wife carrying a baby. The baby girl was wearing a pink hoodie and had a blanket around her. I hadn't checked yet what she looks like, I just saw her pink socks and chubby foot (there's something adorable about chubby foot and toes of babies). Unable to resist this bundle of cuteness beside me, I looked at her. She's got chubby cheeks, and beautiful eyes. She's the cutest baby I've ever seen in a jeepney! Then she smiled at me. I reached out to her, and then she reached out, too! You know how babies grab your pinky finger and then hold on to it? She held my finger for a good 5 minutes. I asked her mom how old the baby is. She's six months, but she looks like so small, she would pass of as 3-4 months (I'm not sure! Babies I know are often huge!).
Right then and there I knew that as soon as we are married, I want to have a mini-me, or a mini-Gary, whatever God will bless us with.
By the way, when we were younger, I found a website where you can mash your faces to form a baby. Here he is. :p
Gary's eyes, my nose, Gary's lips, my tongue?
