This morning i had an appointment with Dr. Arcales, resident OB-Gyne at SM Megaclinic. I wanted a prescription for an emergency contraceptive but she said that it is not available here in the Philippines. Sure, I'm toying with the idea of another baby maybe a boy if it could be arranged but not now. My Maggie is still 9 month's old and i really wanted her to be at least 2 years old before we consider having another one.

So, the last resort is to pray to God Almighty, to not make me pregnant just this instance and instead hear the prayer of those who are not yet pregnant. I truly pray this,...
