The Emperor of my Heart

Here comes the child that completes our family, the baby boy we have been waiting for.  Though we didn't really plan to have another one after alyanna reigne, we were so expectant that it would be a boy.  And God was so good that He gave him to us, Kohbe Kaiser.  Funny,,,two days before i gave birth, we didn't have a name yet.  My hubby and I were in the classroom, writing all the names we could think of on the board.  Then, I got hold of this old dictionary, I opened it and landed my pointer at a particular word, Kaiser - Russian term for emperor.  I loved it.  I wrote it on the board and asked my husband to think of another one that would best fit with Kaiser.  Since daddy was into basketball, I thought of a good player whom I'm familiar with.  Obviously, I'm talking about Kobe Bryant.  I got the Kobe, just added the "h" and made it Kohbe.  Among my children, Kohbe's the heaviest when he was still in my womb.  I found it more difficult to move, I wouldn't want to do anything, I just wanted to lie down and sleep.  That's why, days before i gave birth, I was told that I should do more exercises like brisk walking, so that I could help my baby go out easily.  So daddy and I would walk a kilometer every other day.  If he's not available, I did the walking exercises inside the house, walking to and fro in our small living room.  August 29, around 4 pm, I saw blood stain which made daddy panicked.  We went to the lying-inn immediately, though I was sure that the baby's not gonna come out yet.  And I was right, my ob said I should go home and wait until the following day.  Around 8 in the evening, I began feeling cramps which I didn't tell my husband to avoid him from panicking.  I kept the pain to myself until the interval of the cramps were down to 5 minutes.  Then, I was sure the baby's coming out soon.  That was around 12 midnight.  I woke my husband up and told him to bring me to the clinic.  When we arrived, my ob said I should keep on walking to and fro on the patio and just get inside if the interval's down to a minute.  While outside, dad and I were chatting, trying to divert nervousness into a lighter mood.  Talked for 3 minutes, stopped when I felt the pain,  talked again when the pain was gone.  We continued the process till I couldn't bare the pain anymore.  That's the time we went in the clinic and my ob made me ready for giving birth.  I was awake the whole time, conscious of what's going on.  Just like when I gave birth to my other babies, I was holding the same rosary, was praying for a safe delivery and a healthy baby.  Not long enough, around 3 in the morning of August 30, I gave birth to Kohbe Kaiser Gayo, the emperor of my heart.  He was a big baby, weighed 9.9 lbs., and was handsome like his dad.
