Saab Magalona marks the baptism of the son with the memory of meeting him for the first time

The experience of Saab Magalona with motherhood was marked by initial grief, although raising Pancho baby with her husband Jim Bacarro proves that she has a lot to be happy about.

Despite being born premature, Pancho is a health image and has hit another milestone since his life began in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). The little boy was baptized at a ceremony on both sides of his parents yesterday, July 14th.

Magalona shared a picture of her small family on the day of baptism and wrote, "Proud Parents."

Image: Instagram / @ saabmagalona [19659007] Before the occasion, she recalled the emotional moment that she first laid eyes on her own son six days after having an emergency cesarean "because our"

When I was pregnant with my twins at 30 weeks and 6 days, I had to undergo an emergency cesarean section because our little girl 's heartbeat stopped. Our little boy survived but I did not see him for 6 days because I was inside the intensive care unit myself (this is a long story). I felt so much emotion when I was told that I could leave my room to see my child. Before that, all I could do was ask Jim to show me videos and pictures of him. It was a dark time for me because without seeing or touching our boy, all I could focus on was the loss of our daughter. Honestly, at the time, I continued to think that our little boy would not do it either, especially with the initial tests that they had subjected him to. It was Valentine's Day when I was finally allowed to visit him and I cried. I was so happy but I was also very scared. I washed my face, put lip and tint on my cheeks and brushed my hair. It was like a first date and I wanted to be pretty for my son. As I saw her sweet little body in her bed, barely moved, I was delighted. Jim told me that he was not moving at all during the first few days, so his small movements were more than enough for us. It occurred to me that outside of Valentine's Day, it was also Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent. In a way, I felt that God was telling me to continue to pray and not to lose faith. Today, Pancho will be baptized and I could not be more proud of the distance we have traveled as a family. I know that Luna will also be with us as we celebrate this milestone ?

Incidentally, this day was Valentine's Day and Ash Wednesday. For Magalona, ​​the holy day made him feel that God was telling him "not to lose faith."

The picture shows Magalona in a hospital gown, narrowing her lips for a kiss as she touched him. His eyes seem swollen, perhaps because of the distress of the last days.

"Our little boy survived but I did not see him for 6 days [because] I was myself inside and out of the country. USI (it's a long story), "she said.

Magalona recounted that before she met him, her only experience with her son was through pictures and videos: "It was a dark time for me because without seeing or touching our boy, everything that I could concentrate was the loss of our "

She also expected at worst:" Honestly, at the time, I kept thinking that our little boy would not do it either, especially with the first tests that he had done on him. "

" It was Valentine's Day when she was finally allowed to visit him and I cried, "says the singer Cheats.

She revealed that she was refreshing herself with minimal makeup: "It was like a first date and I wanted to be pretty for my son." 19659002] It seems that Baby Pancho was sensitive to the presence of his mother because he had made "tiny movements" before, "he did not move at all".

Now, the little one is loved by his extended family and was even able to meet his great-grandmother on his mother's side, the graphic artist Edwina K och Arroyo

"I know Luna will be with us too," said Magalona, ​​referring to Pancho's twin sister. JB
