Baby Naming Begins :)

Last night we went to the hospital to visit our friend whose wife just gave birth to a lovely baby girl. :)

The procedure seemed so chill. But she was in CS. My first time to see a newborn baby actually :-D
Such a fragile little thing! I love how she cries and then suddenly calms down when her daddy starts rubbing her shoulders. <3

And so when we got home me and Ray started talking about baby names. I want our baby to have 2 names because I always thought my name was cool and I had a choice on what to use. :-p

I also want a Filipino-sounding name. I have been toying about the phrase "Hiraya Manawari". Just a quick search now showed that it means "sana matupad" in deeper Tagalog. I have been toying with the name "Raya" because it's very Malay-sounding. Raya can also be a play between my name and my husbands. And you jumble a couple of letters and you get Arya - my favorite character in Game of Thrones, followed by Margaery. :)

If it's a girl, I would love her to be named Raia Margaery. SO COOL. Husband isn't too keen with the idea yet but maybe he'll change his mind. :p Can be Raia Marie too but it's too obviously me and husband already. :p

If it's a boy, it would be spelled Raya. But we don't know the second name yet. Perhaps Raya Markus?

Bana (it means 'husband') is already thinking of the convention we'll use assuming that there'll be brothers and sisters. Hehe!

I am open to having more kids, but not in this situation again please. I need to have stable work and established career before we take in another one. :)

Baby Little Twiddle Adventures

While she is peacefully sleeping in her pod, waiting for the full level of delight to fill her up,  some bad elements called Sneezy and Coofy tried to hound her mommy. It's been a week and mommy is feeling frustrated already because she cannot drink over-the-counter meds. 

She just keeps praying to Papa Jesus and the lovely forces of the universe to heal mommy already. And that none of these bad elements get to even a stone's throw away from her. 

By the way mommy doesn't know if Little Twiddle is a he or a she. It's still a surprise. <3

Tale of The Little Twiddle

Once upon a time, there was a little twiddle

Papa Jesus was walking around the garden, and he spread out some bursts of sunflower puffs, star sprinkles, happy thoughts, good vibes, love for all, joyful delight, and openness to the world, mixed it together and poof! Little Twiddle was born!

He was sent down squishing and flying from the ends of the universe until he settled into the womb of a clueless 29 year old who hasn't even found her own place in the spotlight. But she was surrounded with so much love. And beauty. And kindness. and that was enough.
