new pamangkin

A few months ago, Ramil and I learned that his brother actually beat us to making an apo for their parents. We were a bit surprised (they were still bf-gf) and their parents, naturally, were disappointed (his brother is still finishing nursing).

After the dust has settled, I told Ramil that it would work out fine because despite the untimely pregnancy, his parents will be excited with the baby. We felt a bit defeated though in a funny way because before getting married we were talking about our future child's luck. Ramil and I are both the eldest in the family and our baby would have been the first apo on both sides! Such title has now been officially 'stolen' (hehe!) from our baby because Ramil's brother's gf gave birth at around 1:00 am today. As such, we haven't seen the baby yet but it was a C-section delivery (she was a few weeks overdue already) and the baby weighs more than 8 pounds!

Ramil and I are very excited to visit this Sunday. With our own baby arriving in a few months, we have this fixation right now with anything to do with babies. And I just can't wait to hold the baby. The description from Ramil's brother though is that the baby looks like an alien. Hehe! I don't think his brother is used to seeing newborn babies with long heads. I told him that a baby's head is very 'malleable' and that they can still 'form' it into any shape they want. LOL. Hopefully, I will be able to post pics of this alien baby when we get back.
