Miguel's 1st time @ THE MALL

@ 1 month and exactly 2 weeks we brought Miguel to the mall. It was also his 1st time to use his stroller. He loved it soo much he slept the whole time we were window shopping. He only woke up because he was hungry so we decided to eat na rin. He did not sleep after that because he enjoyed the bright lights around him. I couldn't stop myself from taking pictures of him even we were were at the escalator.

Rashes, Rashes GO AWAY!

My poor baby.. :( He has rashes all over his face and neck. We showed it to his pedia and she told us that there's nothing to be alarmed coz rashes are common to newborn babies. Mawawala din naman daw yun. Hindi na nga kaputian anak ko namula pa because of his rashes. :(

Play Time

My baby enjoys playing at his Activity Gym. If he's not in a good mood I just put him there and he'll stop crying.

But if he's really in a baaaad mood, he cries without any reason.. and he cries really loud!! He's full naman and nagburp na, we just changed his diapers, we sing and talk to him but he doesn't want to stop. :(

I can't wait until I see him respond to my smile. Nakalagay sa book, it will happen daw around 10 to 12 weeks.. naiinip na si mommy...

Happy 1st Month Miggi!

Francis and I can't get enough of our little boy. He is a gift from God. He'll always be our inspiration.

Miguel's pedia gave him vitamins so that he'll gain weight fast. He's still small but slowly he's gaining weight already. Francis bought a cake to celebrate the 1st month of Miggi.

WELCOME MIGUEL!!!

I was scheduled to give birth on July 20 via CS coz I had 2 miscarriages already..my OB doesn't want to risk my life and the baby coz there might have complications if I'll have a normal delivery...

BUT.. during our check up last July 29 when my OB checked the heartbeat of miguel she noticed that his heart rate was fluctuating between 108-120.. the normal rate is 120-130. she told me to eat lunch first bka gutom lang daw si baby.. when she checked the heart rate again ganun pa din.. to make the story short.. bumaba hangang 98 yung heart rate ni miguel.. my OB decided to open me up. I was really scared and super worried that Miguel won't be ok.. I coudn't stop crying... hangang lagyan ako ng anesthesia mega iyak pa din ako..

I gave birth June 30, 1:30am.. may pneumonia pala si miguel.. sabi nila he got it from me.. may ganun daw ksi cases na maternal.. yun ang reason why he was having a hard time breathing.. 35 weeks lang ako kaya premature si miguel so he had to be in the incubator for 3 days.. I saw him 2 days after I gave birth and I got to hold him after 3 days! what was even worst he stayed in the nursery for 1 weeks ksi nga he was under medication.. it was the worst event in my life! I cry every time I think if him..

hay... .. prayers are really powerful... we are glad that he is very strong and healthy now.. they call him precious baby in the nursery coz they learned about my poor pregnancy history.. Miguel means God like daw.. nice no? :)

On my 8th month

33 weeks and counting... on July 20, 2007 I'll be giving birth to our prince via C-section. I'm sooo excited I wanna pull the days until THE DAY that I will see Baby Miguel... the anticipation.. the long wait will be over..

I feel really heavy now.. my back aches more frequently.. swollen hands and feet... good thing my nose did not.. I gained 40 pounds already from my last check up and I still expect to gain 6 more pounds until I give birth... heavy.. really heavy.. even I can't believe it.. one of the JOYS of pregnancy he he... but I'm happy to say that I have no stretch marks (yet!)..

Good Finds in Duty Free

I can't believe it! I had the best buy ever this year!

A brush set from Smashbox! The original price is $62 and it was 50% off!!! Cool! The saleslady told me that this brush set is almost 6,000 pesos in Rustans. I saved a lot talaga.

I fell in love with Loreal's Glam Shine 100 when I tried it on! It's a lipstick and gloss in one.... very J. LOish... nude with a hint of shine (but not like the "I-just-ate-Lechon" shine) he he he :)

Anothe good find: Blue eyeliner- opens up the eyes because of its light and shimmery effect.

SUPER HOT SUMMER!!!

Literally and Figure-atively........

Nasaan na ang waist ko???

Booba in the making.. eeeew!!!!

FHM Girls

To beat the heat of the summer, together with my officemates, we decided to spend our friday night swimming at my parent's house. We ordered Yelow Cab pizza and KFC bucket meal. YUM!!! Pregy as I am (on my 27th week), I still wore 2-piece swimsuit even if half of my boobs can be seen. What can I do? My boobs are soo enormous! and still getting bigger and bigger... ugghh!!!

more pregy pix

Just wanna show this dress that I recently bought in Kamiseta. Hmmmm.... the manequin looks better on it though... :T oh well...

My bod looks like this now...

Summer Update

I'm on my 23rd week now (six months next week) ... and gaining weight fast!!! I'm not even super takaw but everytime I see myself in the mirror I feel (and I know) that I am soo big!! I wonder why??? Maybe because of the vitamins I take or I'm not just used seeing myself pregnant. Whatever it is I'm still proud because I am indeed pregnant and our baby is growing inside me. :)

Nonetheless, I still love to pose for the camera. I wanna share some pictures taken during our vacation in Caylabne Bay Resort. We stayed there for 2 nights & 3 days, April 3-5. It was kinda like a birthday outing because I turned a year older on April 3. Francis surprised me with a cake (he asked his brother to buy it for him) and gave it to me when we arrived there. How sweet naman honi.. he he...

cheese!!!!

I'm soo pregy na!

Nightmare!!!

It was 12AM on a Monday when I had my 1st trip at the Comfort Room. My stomach didn't feel right and I passed out super watery pupu... and it continued every after 30 mins to 1 hour. I had 9 trips to the CR and it was just 10AM. I vomitted twice as well. Francis decided to take me to the hospital because I might get dehydrated and it might affect our baby. I had an ultrasound again to make sure baby is ok. Francis and I spent the night in the hospital because I underwent some blood test and my water in the body was monitored. Thanks to my ever reliable nurse, my husband, because he never left my side and he made sure I got everything I need and want. While I sleep comfortably on the bed, he slept at the small sofa and tried to fit his body on it. Once he move, he might fall. I can't help but watch him sleep and admire him for his patience. I feel so lucky to have him and I thank God everyday for giving me a great husband.

The oyters I ate in Oyster Boy were the culprit! No more oyters for me while I'm pregnant!

Diva Concert

Last Saturday, I got the chance to watch the concert of Lani Misalucha at Araneta. Thanks to the cousin of my husband for the free ticket. We were just few steps away from the stage. I must say that Lani is a real Diva! She has a very powerful voice and not even the concert queen or the Asia's Songbird can sing that well.

After the concert, we stayed in Oyster Boy. While Francis & the rest were drinking beer I was drinking water and savoring the oh-soo delish baked oysters. Oh, not to forget the Blizzard I ordered in Dairy Queen. I didn't care whether I was eating the right food as long as I was enjoying myself eat anything I want.

We got home past 2am already.

It's a BOY!!!!

He's big na!!! His nose looks matangos!

Look at the arrow.. that's his putotoy.. he he

I'll be on my fifth month next week. My tummy is still small (daw) but my OB said the baby is big.. kakatuwa!!! We're still thinking of a name for him.. Abraham.. Miguel.. Matthew... Still deciding....

Cebu Pacific's 11th Year

We celebrated Cebu PAcific's 11th year last night. Where else? At the Hangar!! Super Bowl catered the event and Free Style Band played good music for the employees.

Malay ko! Malay ko! Malaysia!!! HR Team joined the costume contest representing Malaysia.

w/ Bless & Rhea (plus extra na emcee)

I can't dance with my condition kaya picture nalang. Free Style Band at the background and some employees dancing

Cge, Sayaw pa!!

feeling bad... feeling good

During my last OB visit, I was told that I gained 6 pounds already and that I should try not to gain weight anymore until my sixth month. But some people from the office told me that I lost weigh and they're wondering why my tummy is still small. Should I be worried? What am I supposed to look like ba if I'm on my fourth month na? I was actually tempted to ask my OB if it's just normal to have a small tummy at this month but decided to wait nalang until my next OB visit on March 2. Hay naku, they make me nervous! Basta safe si baby yun lang ang pinakaimportant sa akin.

Anyway, I'm excited to buy maternity clothes on Sunday. Nagpromise si Francis na bibili na kami coz my old clothes don't fit anymore. Nakakafrustrate at times pag wala ako masuot ksi di na bagay or super sikip na lalo na back to work na ko. My uniforms are all small eh medyo lang medium na ang size ko. Lahat ng jeans ko slim fit kaya wala na din ako masuot kundi leggings. I'm not naman complaining (bka ksi magtampo si baby). Yun lang naman ang medyo hassle pag pregnant but other than that masarap na lahat.

.

Francis is super patient and sweet. Even if I'm masungit or always complaining, he tries to understand my situation. Di nya alam I'm taking advantage na.. ha ha ha.. sama ko.. pero masarap ksi maging spoiled. Last wednesday (V-DAY) we didn't plan anything special. He just asked me to have dinner. Since I'm super excited (and hungry) I was home really early and waited for him to pick me up. Yun pala yung surprise nya sa house yung dinner pero he'll set up the terrace at the 2nd floor. He bought all my fave foods (Tempura, Cali Maki, Shrimp Pasta, KFC chicken) and flowers. But since I got home before he did it did not become a surprise but still I was really happy and touched ksi nakaisip papala sha ng gimmick. Ako nga I didn't buy him anything.

Happy Weekend!!!! :)

2nd Trimester

I'm on my fourth month now. Thank God my morning sickness is gone! I feel so much better especially because I can see my tummy getting big. :) I love looking at the mirror and just stare at my tummy. It still amazes me that a living creature is inside me. I can't wait to feel baby move and when that time comes I'll definitely tell everyone about it!

I'm back to work but I can't tire myself too much. I"m not allowed to travel which is fine by me. I'll sacrifice everything just to keep our baby safe.

I'm already sleepy that"s why I can't think straight. This entry is intended not just to update everyone with my pregnancy but to greet you as well "Happy New Year". May we all have a good year. It's better late than never right? :)

Cheers!!!!

Happy 1st Year Anniversary to us!!!
