What I've Learned Since I Became a MOM

Second contest for Mommyfest 2008.

I have been a mother for 22 months now and the journey is not that easy. But I have never felt this fulfilled. So what have I learned since I became a MOM :

1. I needed to take care of my health for my family. I got a scare last year when my rheuma told me that I might undergo chemotheraphy because of the protein leak in my urinalysis. I prayed to God to give me another chance and I would be more disciplines in taking my meds. And I was thankful that the chemo was ruled out because the next test showed a clear result. The high protein leak is due to me not taking prednisone for six months.
2. I am not a career oriented woman. Since I gave birth to Anevay, my career has taken a back sit to the point that I resigned from my post March of last year. Everybody predicted that I might get bored because I am used to the fast pace of life. Now, its already one year of being a SAHM and I am still loving it.
3. Routines and consistency in upholding those routines are necessary to establish discipline which is benefecial not only to the baby but also to the mother.
4. Practicing what you preach is a good principle. It will remind the mother to use good manners that the child will learn easily.
5. Playhouse disney is a good channel (entertaining and educational). Mickey Mouse is a good counting teacher. I love you song is a very good song especially if your daughter hear it and will run to you and hug you tightly.
