JUST IN: Rica Peralejo confirms pregnancy after miscarriage

Today, Rica took to Instagram to share with her followers how she told her firstborn Philip that he will be a big brother.

She wrote: “Because of our losses, I had to struggle with the thought that what if God really just willed for us to only have one child? It was hard but in the end I raised my arms up in surrender and told the Lord I am satisfied. I am more than blessed to have Philip, and never lacking anything in having Jesus in my heart.

“But then I began to notice Philip's longing for a sibling. I think he felt this more and more as he saw friends, who were siblings, as those who always went out and went home together. I then thought that the baby really isn't only for me and husband only, but even for Philip. How selfish was it to give up a dream that will bless not only us, but also this little man in our lives, and possibly even the world! (We believe in the next gen as world changers, right???)

“So we encouraged him to pray and pray and pray.”

It was on Christmas Eve that Rica decided to tell Philip the great news.

“And finally, it happened. On Christmas Eve I presented three gifts for him. Two from his parents and one from God, we said. Two for Philip and one for KUYA Philip, and inside the third box is the baby's ultrasound photos. ️”

“Last night, out of the blue, this is what he said: “God heard my prayer for a baby sibling.” He has heard, indeed. And it blesses me to hear that this baby is not only bringing us happiness and fulfillment for our own desires but a deeper faith in the Lord. What else could I give and pray for my own child that would have an everlasting mark in his heart, right? ️ Sorry for the long post. I just feel like sharing. Hope this little story blesses you the way it blesses my heart, too!!! ⭐️ #mamawonders
