Morning Glories

I am never a morning person. It usually is so difficult to drag me out of bed most mornings. I have always been nocturnal. I wouldn't mind being called to work to slave over some reports and proposals til wee hours in the morning. Actually, I have just finished packaging one (proposal) which a few of us diligently finished last night to beat a midnight "e-mail" deadline. It's a good thing the packaging could be done the next day (today) or else it would have meant no sleep at all for me.


It did not help that I did not want to do it at all. I was on leave but I went to the office just the same to finish that proposal. It was out of the sense of obligation and well, loyalty to my job and the organization I loved right at the start. Hmm... but I did not want to write about labor woes. I had intended to reward myself by doing something I'm truly passionate about, something I've been putting off the past days because I had to do other things at work -- write. And I had wanted to write about something I am equally ( more than!) passionate of -- my son :)

Mine and B's first mornings together had been "blissful" too. It truly amazed us to finally be waking up next to each other. We had been wanting it to happen for the longest time and then it is finally happening. That was when I began to appreciate my mornings... But then, a few months into that and a few more fights after, the experience began to lose it's novelty hehehe

And then Baby came... Happy, light, joyful Baby... This morning I woke up to find him up to his latest trick -- flip onto his belly and squirm until he gets his other arm dislodged from in between his chest and the bed. This was something he found truly difficult before that he would often cry in frustration. Lately, he was getting so good at it that he would often do it to find out if he could do it again. Hahay, look at these pictures. Those above are taken while we were in Agusan for that SBM project. I had to bring him with me since I am breastfeeding him. I have been fearful the travel might be stressful to him... but look at him, truly a hassle-free baby. These last two ones were taken this morning. His squirming woke me up and when I turned to look at him there he was looking so cute as if begging to be kissed I had to jump off the bed to grab my camera hehehe If these are what awaits me every morning.. then who am I to complain? Baby's truly heaven sent :)
