And who would have thought it figures?...

Anyway, it's funny how:
Speaking of today's PS3 shopping expedition, I'm really amazed that Annika has never YET (knock on wood three million times) thrown a tantrum in public or demanded that we buy her something. Today in Media Markt while Edward was contemplating which PS3 games to buy, Annika and I walked around the DVD aisles and she was picking up DVDs of all these animated series and movies, but would put them back kaagad after showing them to me and pointing out the picture of Kung Fu Panda/Dalmatians/Pingu on the cover. When we take her to toy stores she just looks at the colorful Lego sets, stuffed Care Bears, and all those toys with Winnie the Pooh and Dora the Explorer stamped on them, cleverly designed to capture the hearts of toddlers and empty their parents' wallets; but she just exclaims over them and touches them, then happily leaves the store with us without asking for anything. In September we accompanied her lola to IKEA to buy pasalubong for people back home, Annika picked up some stuffed animals, carried them around a little, then put them back in their respective bins, saying they wanted to be with their friends. Sabi nga ng lola niya, di siya marunong mag-shopping. I just hope our lucky streak continues!
Anyway, it's funny how:
- my first pregnancy was free of any complications whatsoever, but now that I have a lot more on my plate (Bochie + chores + a much busier schedule in general) I get hyperemesis gravidarum and an infection.
- I'm the most un-girly woman in the world, but the good Lord in His infinite wisdom chose to bless me with two little girls. Wala akong matuturo sa kanila when they come asking about makeup and nail polish. I've probably put on nail polish only 2 or 3x in my life, and just clear polish at that, and the last time I put on lipstick or any sort of makeup was... hmm... Sept. 2005? when we were candle sponsors at Bryan and EJ's wedding. As for fashion? I buy only basic clothing, live in my Nikes and have never bought a bag worth more than a couple thousand pesos, so they can't expect any advice from me in that area either.
when we found out I was pregnant again I thought we wouldn't have to buy too much stuff because I plan to breastfeed and co-sleep like I did with Annika, and her old stroller and baby clothes are still in decent condition. But now that my due date's drawing closer, I'm being tempted to buy a Bugaboo Bee (it faces both ways, Annika's old Brio only faces outwards) and the Amby Baby Hammock (for the baby to nap in, hopefully).
