MANILA — TV and theater actress Ciara Sotto shared that she and her husband of four years Jojo Oconer are expecting their first child.<\/p>\n

During the recent gala screening of Carlos Siguion-Reyna\u2019s \u201cHari ng Tondo\u201d at the Cultural Center of the Philippines in which Sotto plays a battered girlfriend, the 34-year-old daughter of Sen. Tito Sotto and Helen Gamboa revealed that her first child is a blessing that she things she does not deserve.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know I don\u2019t deserve this blessing because I have not really taken good care of myself. I\u2019m always working out,\u201d said Sotto referring to the active lifestyle that she leads. She is an active teacher of pole fitness (pole dancing). \u201cAnd then God gave me this gift. Perfect timing from God talaga. It\u2019s a blessing,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Sotto\u2019s husband is an executive at TAPE Inc. (producer of \u201cEat Bulaga\u201d). They opted to defer parenthood so they could enjoy each other\u2019s company. The couple only decided to try for a baby last year, and their wish was granted as Sotto is currently in her 11th<\/sup> week of pregnancy.<\/p>\n

While she is having a difficult time adjusting and coping up with her condition, Sotto shared that she does not mind the morning sickness and all the dizzy spells all for the love of her first child.<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes I\u2019m really dizzy all the time. Sometimes I vomit for no reason, but the point that I hate the most is I can smell everything,\u201d she shared.<\/p>\n

What makes the pregnancy journey for Sotto enjoyable and somewhat bearable is the presence of her ever supporting husband, who Sotto claimed easily gives in to her demands even in the dead of the night.<\/p>\n

Given that Ciara is still in the early stages of her pregnancy, the baby\u2019s gender is still a mystery. But Sotto shared that she and her husband are praying for a baby girl.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re praying kasi ang dami kong pamangkin na boys, isa lang yung niece ko. Yung niece ko sobrang favorite ko siya so gusto ko ng sarili kong ganun,\u201d shared Sotto.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
