for our little boy
Posted on October 13, 2006
Three months to go my angel and we would finally be able to look at each other's faces. Hang in there little one and don't grow too big. Get a nice good position so you can come out of mommy's vagina instead of mommy's tummy.
Daddy and I were talking the other day about how we want you to grow up and the things that we want you to have. We are more scared of making a mess of rearing you, that you might grow up like some of our undesirable students. Some mommies at this point would say that they just want a healthy baby but I'm not that kind of mommy. I would be a hypocrite if I say I just want you to be healthy because I want so much more for you.
You don't have to be a baby genius or maybe your class valedictorian someday but I hope you'd get what reciprocals are after a 45-minute period with your teacher. You don't have to be the most behaved student but I hope you'd understand what we mean and what other people mean when they say NO. You don't have to be an athlete or a well-coordinated boy but I hope you don't move sluggishly, dragging yourself everywhere.You don't have to be a great public speaker but I hope you know and learn to say please, thank you, and sorry. You don't have to be a popular kid in school but I hope you learn to make friends and to value their friendships. I hope you learn to respect people no matter who they are, where they came from, and what their status in life are. I hope you learn to nurture your strengths and to accept your weaknesses. I hope you learn what it means to love and to treat a girl right. You don't have to earn big bucks when you're older but I hope you earn enough to support yourself and your future family. I hope you learn to enjoy life whether it's good or bad. I hope you learn to laugh at yourself and to take things in stride.
All these things and a lot more are what I want for you. I am now at a loss on how to help you have these things. You are our first child and I hope we do right by you. But whether we succeed in rearing you properly or not, we love you, we will always give our best to you, and even though we might have difficulties or misunderstandings in the future, we will always have only your best interest at heart.
Love,
Mommy

hi mommy andrea,
this is sooo sweet!
i know you and ramil will be wonderful parents to Mateo. we may not have everything that a child need but what matters most is the love that we give them unconditionally… God bless you!
Mateo is such a biblical name. I want a Christian name for our baby too sis!
this is such a thoughtful letter. don’t we all wish these things for our child? such a pure prayer. God listens and I know He heard you Andrea. praying for you to have a happy and contented family life… mukha naman ganun nga eh! stay happy sis! take care!
mateo is sooo… ramil. haha. don’t ask why.
but it’s a great name. 
i know i posted something like (but definitely not as nice as) this… praying to God that my baby be born healthy and be good in math. haha.
i think it’s only natural to feel a bit anxious and hope that you won’t screw up with your baby. but seriously, knowing you guys, i’m not the least worried - you’d make great parents, and i’m willing to bet my pwet that mateo will be a great kid.
lany: hi!thanks for the words of support, hehe!sana nga it would be enough na we give him all the love we can give.
litzie: hello! we’re still thinking of a second name. parang gusto namin mateo something hehe! how are you na? hope you’re doin great with your own pregnancy.
faye: oy! sinabi ko kay ramil na sabi mo mateo is sooo him. hehe! weird mo daw
naku, sana nga matino un baby namin, ngayon ko naiisip mga kasalanan ko sa magulang ko non e.hehe!
