Ramil and I always knew we want kids. Take note of the ‘s’ in ‘kids’. Even before we got together, we both wanted more than one child. In fact, we would want to have three or four if we can handle it (financially, mentally, physically, and emotionally).

Now that Mateo is two and a half years old, talking about having another one is our common activity. We realize that planning a family is not just economics, it’s also vital to think about the dynamics of each member. We wanted Mateo and his future sibling/s to get along well and we’re afraid it might be difficult for them to become friends if their ages are too far apart.

We’ve thought about many factors we need to consider. One major concern is where I could give birth. Of course, we want the hospital to have the best medical equipment aside from having the best doctors and personnel. I gave birth to Mateo in St. Luke’s in Q.C. but it’s too far from us now. Back then, we stayed with my parents for two weeks so that we could be nearer the hospital. For the next one however, we are foreseeing an Antipolo-hospital-Antipolo scenario especially since we have Mateo to think of. The best option for us right now is Medical City, I guess.

We would have targeted for an April delivery date because we don’t have work the whole month of April. However, I had to undergo root canal treatment this month which means we might delay the baby-making until next year again. Oh well, all in God’s time
