I have lots of stuff I've been wanting to blog about, like last Friday's night of debauchery, Lia's latest funny hirits (like "Baby Sister, don't cry! How about mamam?") and my newest favorite TV show Chuck but I just had to log on now for just a couple of minutes to say:

Yay! Today I fit back into pre-pregnancy jeans!

Bow.

Meet my newest daughter.

We went for our last ultrasound last Monday in Asian Hospital. Don't worry, I'm not giving birth there, I'm still delivering in Makati Med, it's just we prefer to have our tests and ultrasounds done in Asian cause they're so much more efficient, there's no pila, and their waiting room has padded chairs, a TV, and recently, it's own cashier. Well ( Read more... )

It is exactly 13 days till I give birth. That's less than two weeks. That's two fridays away. Wow. On one hand, ANG LAPIT NA! But on the other, it feels like the longest 13 days of my life. I am really excited to see her, hold her, meet her, smell her, breastfeed her, just.. just know her. Not to mention, moving around has been such a pain! I can't ( Read more... )

It's weird how every Saturday at Chinese Painting class, my classmates seem surprised at how huge I am. I mean, of all people, they see me every week. It's like they spend Sunday to Friday forgetting I'm pregnant and then are shocked at my pregnancy when they see me again Saturday. "Ang laki na!" "Kelan ka due?" "Boy o girl?" Every single Saturday ( Read more... )

I didn't write about it at the time, but while it was showing I avidly followed The Amazing Race Asia 2. I rooted for Marc Nelson and Rovilson Fernandez even if I knew they weren't going to win. I mean, I didn't know know, it's just that in the Amazing Race, it hardly ever happens that the strongest team throughout the race wins it in the end. My ( Read more... )

It seems pregnancy has this strange effect on me. It makes me attracted to... yarn. Remember last time? It was so strange even my mom said it's not like me at all. Well, guess what. There was this baby blanket I started when I was pregnant with Lia. I wasn't able to finish it in time for her birth and I didn't touch it for over a year. Now I'm ( Read more... )

The news came last week. And when it did, I was so emotional about it I wanted to write about it, but I stopped myself because I didn't want to write a mushy entry. I knew I would be crying while writing and that just leads to bad writing. So I stalled and got over it, and now, I've come to terms with it, made my peace with the situation and ( Read more... )

For those who are concerned, like my 2-3 readers, Lia is not sick anymore. Well, she still has a cough and is dripping snot out of her nose, but no more temperature. Appetite is more or less normal. She's still cranky but it's bearable now. After I faced her to the wall for throwing a tantrum yesterday, today when I said, "Don't cry." She didn't. ( Read more... )

I feel so heavy it's not even funny. How do normal people go around walking, running, jumping! Weighing more than 100lbs? I'm only ever more than 90lbs when I'm about to give birth, and it's not fun!!! I'm straining hip and waist muscles I didn't know I had, and sometimes I feel like the base of my pelvis is going to break from the weight. And oh, ( Read more... )
