You read it right, I’d be a mom for the second time! And if you think that makes me an expert on being one, you’re in for a big surprise.
The first time I knew I was pregnant to my first baby my reactions varied from excitement, joy and fear. I was excited because I knew something good is inside me and I wonder how he or she would look like. Of course that made me happy, too, because it is every woman’s dream to fulfill her role of being a mother – which caused my fear. How would I be as a mom? What do I need to do to become an effective one?
Then came a new life two years after my first born – and feelings just burst out again! More than excitement, joy and fear, though came a guilty feeling that I wouldn’t be able to fulfill my responsibilities to my first child because I ought to take cautions for the baby inside me and vice versa.
At 2, a child isn’t a baby anymore and can already do several activities by himself. But he isn’t ready to be left alone yet. I guess that supports my OB’s suggestion to have a new baby only after 3 years. 
HINT: 3 years is a good spacing period for pregnancy, both for the child and the mother.
On top of these, though, I am thankful for the new blessing. Nine months from now, there would be a new addition to our family and I am sure he or she would erase any fear or doubt about better motherhood.
Thanks be to God, I am a mother…AGAIN!
