We're finally sharing this positive (in the truest sense) news -- we're 9-week pregnant! 🤰

Hello baby "Twin A",

God has kept you strong and healthy, and we pray that you'll stay comfortable floating around with the slightest trace of the vanishing "Twin B".

We're so blessed** to experience this twice in this lifetime---from Zk's to your first heartbeats...that resound the deepest meaning of existence and everything in between. 🧬

More 💗 with Kuya Zk and Papa Owen soon.

The early weeks of my pregnancy had been the most overwhelming moments since this pandemic---the effects of the hormones were not the only things to contend with, I went through mental and emotional pressure way worse than the acne breakout, mood swings and morning sicknesses. Anyway, this additional text is not to relive the stress but to share how thankful** I am to have the best support system all throughout. I cannot name all of you, but know that your thoughts, prayers, and acts of empathy and kindness are much appreciated. To my family relatives who did the physical work and extended help when we needed them the most, to the people behind my fave chat windows who regularly checked in on us, to Mama, Papa and a few surprise ones who took the time to have food treats and fruits delivered at our doorstep (you know well how to spoil the buntis, even Zk 😍), thank YOU. I have seen the most genuine people in those times that I truly hope that I can reciprocate your actions someday. When this pandemic is over, I would gladly re-introduce the meaning of "close contact" by tagging all of you. 😌

To my family, you have been spiritually strongest and scientifically wisest...you've shown how these two can co-exist---the power of faith in God 🙏 and the enormous work of the vaccines.💉

Owen, you've managed to turn this entire experience from my weakest point into an ultimate strength... that "in sickness and in health, asymptomatic or not, no contact tracer can do us apart." Srsly, I could not take it had you been isolated any longer. Zk and I missed** you. 🥺

When you can finally read this, yes, your Mama is being toooo pregnant--making this whole, long post. You aced the swab test that I am the most proud mom. Although, obsessing over those swab kits and vials may have been one of the unforgettable outside-world tantrums, you have been mostly cooperative to your Mama these past few weeks--all prepped up for the promotion? We love** you and we will always protect you, Zikaboi. 😘

**My emotions are amplified with the pregnancy hormones so this word means so much more than you can imagine. 💕
