Twins are 3 years and 10 months old now. We are so happy with how Tom and Tim has grown to be prayerful, loving, curious and cheerful little boys. We try our best to use our language (Bisaya) at home so they have the basic knowledge and comprehension on  how to use mother tongue. They videchat with their grandparents everyday to show them their dances, songs and tell them stories. Kids add more strength to the grannies, I should say. Memory verses: Tom and Tim can recite Proverbs 22:6, Amos 5:24, John 4:24, Psalm 103:1 and Eph. 6:1 as well as the Seal of God. Prayer is part of their ..read more

Moment of Impact (Car Accident) An experience of rear-end collision last February 14. I was driving and while waiting to merge into a road, a Toyota Tundra bumped our car. My husband was sitting on the front seat while the twins were on their carseats at the back. When we were hit, it was like the world suddenly stopped and then went into slow motion. I literally felt every microsecond as I saw my glasses being thrown against the windshield. Thereafter, the world has lost its sound, it noise, I could not hear anything. Then I looked at my husband who looked fine but was just staring somewh ..read more

      Blessings just come in many shapes and forms. Once you have it, cherish every bit of it. I have dreamed of becoming a mother, prayed so hard and finally, God granted it.        After delivering Tom and Tim, I always heard people telling me that babies just grow too fast so I have to enjoy every moment. I casually replied to them with a nod and a smile without really knowing what they meant. All I can feel during that time were the sleepless nights, constantly sterilizing feeding bottles, feeding the twins, patiently waiting for their burp after every feeding session, changing nappie ..read more

Challenge: Feeding Premature Newborn Twins         Tom and Tim are now 15 months old, they eat solid foods of course, rice, veggies and fruits. I can still remember when they were newborns, they were born premature. I started experiencing labor contractions at 31 weeks of my pregnancy. Doctors kept me on complete bed rest, tablets and injections just to buy some time for the twins and then I delivered them via CS at 34 weeks.         They were born 1.5 and 1.6 kilogram and we were informed by the doctors that letting them gain weight should be our goal the the next weeks. This goal ..read more

My family moved to a new place. We brought the twins to a place they have never been to. It is a new page indeed. Big tides came over few months ago, but because God is on our side, we have victoriously overcame. Now, we want if not, need to turn over a new leaf and have a fresh start. Tom and Tim: They have adjusted very well with their new room. They have their own crib  which is something new to them and more importantly, coughing or fever instances have greatly been reduced to none. Both can crawl now and Tom starts to make two to three steps without holding to the wall. Ti ..read more

When I finished high school, it was considered as the “Nursing Era” of the Philippines. During that time each Filipino family has at least one nursing student. It was thought that nurses abroad really get the best pay so they are able to help their families back home. Honestly this is the main reason that my mother enrolled for this course. As a mother, she did not think of herself but it was the most stable, decent profession she could give me for a more secured future. I really good wanted to become a lawyer. Unfortunately, my parents cannot sustain the financial demands of having a law s ..read more

People tend to recognise the full worth of their mothers and fathers when they're gone. This should not be the case. I have the best father and the best mother in the world, I am sure of that. Though they have come from very poor families, they have shown us that we reap more blessings if we sow kindness, hard work and sacrifices. When my father was younger, he used to be a pedlar of many things like wall mirrors and figurines and he also worked as a cleaner in his college campus in order to finish his studies. I used to hear his old stories reminiscing the days when he had soy sauce and oil ..read more

Kurt Thomas and Kurt Timothy were delivered via LSCS at 34 weeks + 5days, around a month premature. Fortunately, we heard their good cries. From the nursery, they were roomed in just 4 hours after the operation. Having a newborn is such a priceless and delightful feeling of every mother, just imagined how overwhelmed was I having two sweet little babies. However, this stage also spells out different things like sleepless nights, long hours waiting for him to burp, diaper change, frequent feeding as much a possible. Above all of these is my post CS wound that is very painful in whatever posit ..read more
