NAKAUWI na si Sarah Lahbati sa kanilang bahay pagkatapos niyang isilang ang second baby nila ni Richard Gutierrez na si Baby Kai nu’ng March 21.

Nagbabawi na ng lakas ang Viva star after her normal delivery, at masayang ibinalita sa kanyang website (sarahlahbati.com) na she’s into breastfeeding. 

Sa bagong entry sa kanyang website na ipinost last March 27, ikinuwento ng former Starstruck grand winner ang pinagdaanan niyang hirap sa pagbubuntis at panganganak sa kanyang bunsong anak. 

“I’m so very proud to share with you our baby Kai,” pagbabahagi ni Sarah.

“Being pregnant the second time around was much different, as was giving birth this time. I’ve told you all about my pregnancy in these last few weeks, but even the birth was something I wanted to share. When you do it for the second time, there is a better idea of what to expect and what to prepare for.”

Kuwento pa ni Sarah, “I had a smooth labor and experience giving birth to Kai. I delivered him via spontaneous normal delivery. We were highly anticipating his arrival within the week of the birth.”

Ang deskripsyon ni Sarah sa kanyang newborn baby boy: “Really, no words can express how happy and excited I am to finally meet him and be with him. I think Kai looks a lot like Zion when he was a newborn, but you can see a lot of Chard in his face, too.”

Tulad nila, excited din si Zion, who’s now four years old, sa kanyang baby brother. 

“And speaking of the big brother — Zion is as excited as us. He’s been looking after his little brother by singing to him and sharing with him his toys. He doesn’t quite understand yet that Kai is still very little and has a bit of growing up to do before they can play together, but it’s a heartwarming scene.”

Sa kanyang website, ipinaabot nina Sarah at Chard ang pasasalamat sa mga taong tumulong sa kanilang journey bilang magulang ng kanilang bunso. 

“Chard and I would like to thank my doctor, all the nurses, and attendants at the hospital who cared for Kai and I. I also have to give major props to my lactation consultant. Thanks to her help, Kai is breastfeeding like a champion from the onset. Giving birth is really no easy feat and having a great medical team helped it be a smooth experience. Iba talaga ang alagang Pilipino.”

Sa hulihan ng kanyang blog, ipinaalam niya sa kanyang mga follower na “I’m currently recovering at home and breastfeeding!

“We thank you all for the love and well wishes. I’m currently recovering at home and breastfeeding. These early days of being a family of four mean a few adjustments and sleepless nights with a newborn, but I would not trade anything for it. I look at my family and know in my contented heart that I could not wish for anything more,” pagtatapos ni Sarah. --Lito T. Mañago
