Anne, Erwan napraning nang magkalagnat si Baby Dahlia 

HALOS mapraning ang mag-asawang Anne Curtis at Erwan Heussaff nang magkalagnat ang panganay nilang si Baby Dahlia.

Aminado ang parents ni Dahlia na isang malaking challenge para sa kanila ang maging first time parents lalo pa’t may kinakaharap na health crisis ang buong mundo.

Ayon kay Erwan, hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin siya makapaniwala na isa na siyang daddy at bawat araw daw na dumadaan ay palaging memorable para sa kanila ni Anne dahil kay Baby Dahlia.

Nasa Australia pa rin ang pamilya Heussaff at talagang ginagawa nila ang lahat ng pag-iingat para walang magkasakit sa kanila o mahawahan ng COVID-19.

“Everyone kind of talks about the beauty of parenting and it’s amazing. You access a part of yourself that you never thought was there.

“And that you never perceived to be there and you never really understood how it would present itself in terms of the love that you can feel for someone else,” pahayag ni Erwan sa panayam ng FM station na Magic 89.9  kamakailan.

“Like the type of love, it’s weird because it’s a mix of the need to protect someone, the need to take care of someone, the fear, so much happiness.

“I think what no one tells you about it is the amount of fear that is attached to it. When your baby is kind of like sleeping on her stomach, is she breathing? Is she okay?” pahayag pa ng asawa ni Anne.

Inamin din ng vlogger na mas tumindi pa ang challenge sa kanila ni Anne bilang magulang dahil sa pandemic.

“During the pregnancy itself, hundreds of questions that come into your mind in terms of when the baby comes out, what if something’s wrong? What if there’s a medical problem? What if all these things?

“So it’s like your mind is in continuous motion in terms of problem-solving and it’s not used to that. And you’re in a pandemic so for me, it’s been figuring out how to stay positive when all in your mind is worst case scenario and I think that’s part of being a parent,” lahad ni Erwan.

Samantala, proud na proud naman siya kay Anne bilang mommy. Ngayon niya raw napatunayan na totoo ang tinatawag na “mother’s instinct.”

“Just how the mother switch is like that. For dads, it’s like a process to understand what’s happening. For moms, it’s immediate. Like that connection is forged from day one.

“For dads, it takes a couple of days kind of looking at your child and like how did this third person just come out whereas for women it’s just automatic and just how motherly the instinct is incredible.

“Like I still at times when I’m looking at Dahlia and holding her and it’s like how do I comfort her or is she happy or anything. Give it to the mom and it’s like magic. So that for me has been amazing to see, kind of how she’s embraced that role.

“And I’m so impressed by it. I’m catching up by reading books and educating myself. Obviously she’s educating herself too. But most of it is ingrained and I think that’s amazing,” sabi pa ni Erwan sa nasabing panayam.

Patuloy pa niya, “Our general concern was mostly being 100% sure that no one here catches it in our household. If I catch it, I don’t care. If Anne catches it to an extent, she doesn’t care.

“The biggest fear I think everyone has is to give it to someone else, like how bad would you feel if you get it, you’re asymptomatic, then you give it to someone else and you’ll just feel terrible right? And so for us with the newborn, that is amplified.

“A couple of weeks ago, Dahlia got her vaccines and then she got a fever and even just a tiny little fever, you freak out. You literally watch her and you’re like, ‘Is she okay?’

“So anything happening outside just amplifies the fear we have inside and it’s basically just convinced us more to really listen to the rules and stay indoors,” pahayag pa ng asawa ni Anne.
