My wife and I went to the OB-GYN 3 weeks ago for a checkup. If you must know, I was also included in the checkup. Though I was only interviewed by the lady doctor, I didn't have to be physically examined like my wife was. Thank God.
The Asian Hospital and Medical Center in Alabang is the hospital we decided to have ourselves examined. Also, when we get pregnant, we want to give birth in a hospital where it feels as if you're visiting a classy hotel. I want our baby to feel the luxury the minute he or she comes out into this world....Oooowkaaay...who am I kidding... you're right. I'm the one who wants to feel luxurious, my wife too.
Anyway, when it came our turn to see the doctor, I immediately felt calm, more like comforted. She was really nice to tell us that it's alright to not get pregnant yet on the eighth month of marriage. Doktora CJ (her nickname) told us we need to relax. You know, that sort of spiel they give to newly weds trying to conceive. What disarmed us was when she asked us to pray with her. Yes, pray...as in talk to God. It was at that instant I felt we were in good hands. So we prayed with her for a successful conception. This may sound sappy but that was the first time a doctor made me feel touched and blessed. Doktora CJ asked us to proceed to the ultrasound room. I was given orders to go for a sperm analysis but was instructed to take it (or give it) next month for if and when my wife gets her monthly period. Hmmm...my own "swimmers" in a cup...interesting blog that would be.
We were prepped for a transvaginal ultrasound. Actually, just my wife. I held her hand (give me some credit) and tried to figure out what the images on the TV screen were. The ultrasound doktora said: "You're ovulating!" I gave her a mildly excited "Yay!" and asked: "Ummm... What does that mean?" with a silly ignoramus grin on my face. My wife lovingly slapped my arm as if saying: "Idiot!" Then she gave us the summary of the diagnosis for us to relay to doktora CJ.
My wife, upon reaching home, immediately texted doktora CJ the diagnosis of the ultrasound. The doctor replied:
"Praise and thank God, u did ovulate. Pls hve sex 2nite and tmrw nite. And wl pray hard!"
Who said prayerful doctors are boring? I just verified it. God does have a sense of humor.
My wife and I had the best belly laugh that day.
Pray with us. We'd like to bring children to this world that will contribute to the betterment of humanity, however small. We hope you would, too.

We have an almost-two-year-old daughter ourselves and it's great! Unless you count sleepless nights, diaper changes, puking on your new business suit and the like.
Seriously, it's great!

Thanks, Abet! We are excited about it. I'm glad you're a proud dad already. Baby vomit on the business suit is one very minor drawback, I'm sure. Have a good one, Belligerent Ghoul!
I'm sure you will have a bunch of these amazing creatures! I even call them my darling gremlins! ( meron ba nun?)
Just dont think of it as making one...Think of it as...ah, wait..Like when you were high school students (oops, too young!), cutting classes, pretending to make a school project, kayong dalawa lang ang grpmates, inside your room, while your Mom's just outside...and ask Rove to wear her high school uniform! Role playing time! Hehehe!...Hoy! Hindi ko ginawa yan ha!..Heard it somewhere...Right!
