Maddox Darlon Leigh is my 5th child and 4th son. Why Maddox? was he named after the son of Angelina Jolie because I am Angelina fanatic? Yes I adore her but my son's name was given by Tita Merlyn Real, my hubby's auntie who is based in Australia. MDL stands for Merlyn, Darlon (my hubby's name) and Let (my nickname). According to research the name Maddox derives from the Welsh surname “Maddock” meaning “son of Madoc.” The name “Madoc” is believed to derive from the Welsh “mad” meaning "fortunate.”
December 10, 2011 - I was one month pregnant (without knowing, cause I only found out my pregnancy when I was already 4 months pregnant) when I was transferred to my dream Department. In fact, I applied for that department a year ago when the Head left due to health condition but unfortunately the other candidate was chosen. :(
I was 6 months pregnant when I got promoted as Manager.Actually, I was not expecting for this promotion since I am only 5 months with my new Department but my big boss rewarded my performance for my previous department and I was surprised when I received the memorandum.

Albeit, I am not entitled to SSS and Phil health benefits when i delivered Maddox(because benefits can only be given up the 4th child) I did not encountered financial difficulties to pay for the expenses. I was even lucky enough that the private room were not occupied that time and the midwives and nurses were there to monitor the progress of my labor from time to time. It was August 2, 2011 at 9:20 am when Maddox arrive.

Maddox was 9 months old when I received merit increase because of my Excellent rating. In all honesty, I am not also expecting this. I was called by my boss during her meeting with senior officers and handed me the memorandum.
