So precious! Mom Iza Calzado's first photo with baby

"It’s quite a punch, the first few days, weeks post birth. Hindi siya madali."


Iza Calzado shared a photo of her baby daughter, Deia Amihan Calzado Wintle, a few days ago. Last March 26, 2023, she posted the very first photo of her daugher's hand holding Iza's finger with the hashtag WintleHasArrived.

On March 30, she posted again. This time, with her face beaming with happiness as she carried their baby girl. "This photo was taken a few days after giving birth, right after I cried so hard from a few 'failures' I felt I had as a new mother mixed with the deep love I was feeling for my child, the kind I have never felt for anyone before."

She bares it all in the next lines, "It’s quite a punch, the first few days, weeks post birth. Hindi siya madali. I am still recovering from it all, but every day gets better and better. I am on my ninth week postpartum and we are a few weeks away from completing the fourth trimester. This is, by far, the most challenging yet fulfilling journey I have been on and I know it is only the beginning."

"At this point, I find myself navigating this transition in the best way I know how—with faith, compassion, gratitude and love knowing I am divinely guided and supported," she shares.

:I will be sharing some of the challenges, the precious, joy-filled moments and the grace in all of it when the time is right," Iza adds. 

"Grabe, what a ride! I am becoming, I am evolving into—wait.. I am a Mother! An imperfectly perfect Mother to my precious child, Deia. Biruin mo yun? A gift indeed. Thank You, Lord!"

She added, "Will be sharing photos also just savoring our baby a bit more and honoring our fourth trimester. Pagbigyan na. Salamat!"
