Coraline Victoria Therese Balane Bonalba
Coraline because this is the name her brothers chose for her even before she was conceived.
Victoria for @funky_man_cky man's mother and because it's a strong name for a woman.
Therese for my mom, Teresita, and for the blossom it brings to life through St. Therese.
Finally... Binyagan na ang bunso namin! 🙌🏻
As a Chrristian mother, isa 'to sa mga pinakahihintay natin. Kaya talaga namang pinaghahandaan at we treasure every photo and moment (at lalo na yung baro 😝)
This, though, do we as parents need to impose religion to our children? I won't go quoting Bible verses here. Minsan may ganon akong mga posts but jot this one.
Matagal ko na ring naging tanong 'yan. And this is what I've come up with.
Christening is part of our faith as Roman Catholics. Our children would have to follow our faith and religion until they search for it on their own when the time comes.
Do not worry, parents, as long as our children have faith. Whatever it is, as long as it is for the good, we will respect it.
They are still our children. They are still God's children. Our beloved. Our blessings from God.

Heartbeat at 14weeks
Sa totoo lang MiNanays, Friday pa kami nag15 weeks pero ngayon ko lang naipost 'to dahil mas ready ako ngayon. 🥰
Medyo may malaking pagkakaibakasi itong bunso kaysa sa dalawang kuya n'ya. Nawindang ang utak ko at nagulumihanan sya kung ano nang ngyayari sa katawan ko. It reacted negatively sa progesterone.
Ang lungkot ko momshie ng first trimester. Naguilty nga ako at naisip ko, bakit ganon, bakit parang hindi ako masaya? E ang tagal namin hinintay. I was upset, deeply sad, and not feeling blooming hindi katulad sa dalawang kuya.
I understand naman not all pregnancies are the same but I didn't know you can be THAT sad. But this Monday, something just switched, very similar sa nararamdamn ko when a #PMDD episode is over. I can now feel THE BLISS! Masaya na ko and I feel like my old self, yung noong pinagbubuntis ko si Third.
Bilang tayong mga nanay e mahilig humanap ng sagot sa mga katanungan, I searched yung mga journals about being sad during pregnancy, I've understood naman and did what I can to help myself. Because again, we need to CHOOSE to be happy.
Salamat 'Tay dahil ngayon mo sya ipinagkaloob because you know I've finally learned to embrace things I cannot control and be patient in waiting for things to happen and to come by and to complete.
We all have our pieces of happiness. Not all women and partners want children. That's okay. Sometimes we dont get what we want right away. That's okay. Kanya-kanyang indayog yan. Walang pakialamanan. 🤣
Kool lang tayo. Chillax lang. Diretcho lang.
