Kuya Hammie

When I got pregnant with Louie, I prepared not just myself but also Hammie.  My hubby and I conditioned him that there was a baby inside my womb who will be his baby brother.  I let him kissed my tummy, told him to love his brother and play with him when the time comes.  Hammie was a year and a half that time but as parents we wanted to include him in welcoming his baby brother so as to not let him feel left out.  Once again I realized that you could never underestimate the power of a child to understand.


I realized that when Louie finally came out, Hammie was left at the house with the nanny.  My hubby was with me in the hospital for two nights.  On the second day at the hospital, Louie was roomed-in and Hammie got to visit only early evening on that day.  We were waiting for his reaction seeing his little brother feeding on the bed beside me.  His father told him to say hi to the baby and he excitedly did.  Oh it was a sight to behold and thankfully my hubby caught it on camera.

Hi Louie!

This is one of those pictures painting a thousand words.  Hammie that day became a kuya and little did I know that he was serious about being one.
