She’s already here

Our baby, McKenzie Cayenne Javier Ansis has been with us for six weeks and four days now.
I wasn’t able to blog during the last weeks of my pregnancy until I gave birth because I was busy with a lot of things, having lost a helper at home.
How I gave birth to McKenzie:
08.20.2010
Around 1am- Kenny was on his way home from work and I was working at home late. Bloody show in urine twice.
Around 230am- the amount of blood increased and we decided to call my doctor, Dra Judith Galang-Perez, who advised that we need to go to Las Pinas Doctors Hospital right away.
Everything was already packed, my bag, baby’s and kenny’s as well so we were on our way around 230am.
Contractions became stronger while we were on the road.
Around 315am- Kenny dropped me off to the hospital’s ER. I calmly handed over my doctor’s instructions to the nurse on duty. The contractions were unbearable and I even refused to lie down as to me the pain is less when I am standing up. The OB Gyne on duty asked for me to lie down, and do breathing exercises. She did an IE and I was already 9cm dilated, a mere 1cm away from delivery!
I had to ask her why it went to that point without me feeling the escalating contractions, she said my pain tolerance might be high.
Around 345am- my water bag broke while they were putting on my IV.
I was rushed to the delivery room , my doctor and anes doctor arrived shortly. Anes was injected through my spine and after 6 pushes, at exactly 433am, I heard McKenzie Cayenne’s first cry.

when i meet love again

when i meet love again, i hope i’ll be enough. i hope it chooses me without wanting to change me. i hope i'm exactly what it’s looking for. and if it finds out i'm a work-in-progress and a little damaged, i hope it still sees me as someone worth staying with. when i meet love again, i hope it's clear. i hope it shows up as love, not sadness in disguise or just temporary happiness posing as romance. i hope it knows that loving me means having me on my best days and also my boring, weak, and unlovable days. when i meet love again, i hope it meets me halfway. i hope it’s excited to be loved right, just as it wants to love me right. i hope it’s the one that will happily reciprocate my energy, learn my habits and languages, and go the extra mile to show me what i deserve. and finally, when i meet love again, i hope this time it’s meant to last

how my life changed in august 2023

august 2023 was a turning point. it was the month that everything fell apart, and yet somehow, it’s the month that set me on a path toward something unexpected—something that feels like freedom. when my husband left, it was like a storm hit my life. the pain was real, raw, and I cried for a month straight. there were days I felt like I couldn’t breathe, let alone move forward. but in the quiet of my grief, I found the strength to rebuild. I prayed, whispered my hopes into the stillness, and something amazing happened: I found a job at an amazing company. it’s everything I’d wanted—a night shift, so I can still be there for my daughter during the day. it pays well, gives me the balance I need, and feels like the universe heard my prayers. I got a new car—something that feels like a symbol of the new life I’m carving. every morning, I drive my daughter to school, and every afternoon, I’m there to pick her up. I cherish these moments with her, watching her grow and knowing I’m present for...
