Plus Two!
A few months ago, we found out that my wife was pregnant with what will be our second child. Now it's time for some ultrasound, to confirm and make sure we have a healthy baby.
Then came the result, my wife's knees almost buckled: TWINS! And more good news, both are BOYS!
Thank God for the blessing(s)! Reanne is now a big sister, and my family is now complete.

Thoughts on Daddy-hood
Being a father is really the ultimate test of patience. A father of a two-and-a-half year old hyper girl, a lot more. Don't get me wrong, she's an angel. She's sweet, strong, intelligent, loves to laugh, always fun and jolly. She likes to get our attention and she talks a lot. She easily picks up on things an average kid would even have an inkling about. She's really special, that one.
But when she goes into a tantrum, I have to work hard not to explode. I know it's wrong, but I get angry. I don't know if I'm angry at her being so unreasonable, but I think I'm more angry at myself for not understanding. She won't stop until she gets what she wants, that at times I don't even know what she wanted. She'll just do what she wants. I tend to shout, I think because I'm frustrated. But then she gets scared of me, and she will ask for her mom. It breaks my heart that my daughter gets frightened of me. I really have to control myself, to stop myself from being a monster. I don't hit her. By God, I would die before I hurt my kid. But emotionally, I may be doing so. Hopefully she doesn't carry it growing up. I immediately apologize to her for shouting and asks her forgiveness, that Daddy loves her. Then I talk to her calmly, why I got mad, ask her what she wants, try to give her what she wants. It's music to my ears when she says "Love you so much.," and "Miss you." I crumble when she says, "Daddy, sorry." I always reply, "It's okay. Sorry din po si Daddy." Then we'd be okay, like nothing happened. But she still remembers, because sometimes she says, "Wag na galit Daddy, ha?" Shame on me.

New Phase In Life
Family life doesn't look that hard. Does it?
When I found out my girlfriend was with my child, I had mixed feelings. I was happy knowing that I will become a father soon, but then again, I was filled with worries of plans for the future. It's not like it's just there and that's that. You'll have to prepare everything so you'll be able to cover anything that comes along the way. And that means ANY THING.
The house now seem too small. Where do we put the crib? Our room just have enough leg space to move around.
My work salary as it is already stretched out will become stretched even more. We'd have to somehow manage to survive in between pay cycles.
Being a family man still has its ups. I'm now excited to see when the ultrasound can be done. I can't imagine how it will be once my child comes into the world. And I want a boy. Of course it's going to be a boy. Why shouldn't it be? Hehehe.
Well, we just have to see.
