No more BAD hair days

Miguel looks better with his new haircut. No more I-dont-know-what's-wrong-with-my-hair- look. Clean cut for this cute little baby. See the difference??? :)

Who's the BOSS?

You are, baby!

My honi's bday celeb part II

On the day of his birthday (Nov. 13) I prepared a simple celebration at home by cooking carbonara and potato salad. Malungkot naman if kami lang ang kakainin nun si I invited my sisters with their kids and yayas to celebrate with us. They gave Francis ice cream but they ended up eating it themselves. hehehe

Happy Birthday HON!

Last year, we celebrated Francis' birthday in Boracay. Unfortunately, we lost our camera the night before our departure date (and exactly on his birthday!). I'm not sure if I posted an entry on my blogger account about it. Anyway, we realized that November is the best time to go there. The beach is not too crowded, the weather is nice and the accommodation is cheaper (super peak/peak season starts mid-November till mid-January).

Since last year was quite a bad experience for the birthday celebrant (for me narin because super nanghihinayang sa pictures namin... hay..), I made sure that he will have a better experience this year.

I got a very good package at Pearl of the Pacific resort in Station one. The package includes: 3 days 2 nights accommodation in a deluxe room pool view (sea view is kinda expensive :T), airport-hotel transfers, daily breakfast and 2 spa treatment. Francis had no idea about the arrangement I had with the resort. Suprise birthday gift talaga.

Our pictures will speak of how we felt during our stay in BORA. I hope that you will enjoy looking at the pictures as much as we enjoyed posing for the camera (hehehe).

Quality Time

Thank God for weekends! Miguel is really happy to see his daddy and mommy home. My baby is getting big. He looks different now from the last picture I posted in my previous entry. I took this picture after I gave Miggi a bath this morning.

Broken Heart

I couldn't imagine being a stay at home mom..... BEFORE. But After I gave birth all I want is to be with my baby and take care of him myself. I want to see him grow up before my very own eyes.

Should I quit my job? My husband gave me the freedom to decide.

I chose to work again. Even if it pains me everyday leaving my baby with his yaya I can't afford to lose my job for now. My baby will understand mommy when he grows up.

I am now a person with a broken heart.

One Magical Morning

priceless

At exactly 5:58am, September 3, 2007 my baby smiled at me! Woohoo! The long wait is over.

Busy Days.....

I've been busy this past few days... buying stuff for my baby for his baptism on Sunday, Sept. 9. I also bought some things for myself.. how I missed shopping!!!! I could actually stay in a shopping mall the whole day but I can't because Miguel is waiting for me. I can't leave him for a very long time! :( Sad to say I have to go back to work on Sept. 25.. I think I'm gonna cry when that day comes.

Anyway, I asked my sister to design the invitation of Miguel's baptism. She made 2 designs.. francis & I chose the 1st one

I'm glad I insisted on changing the formula milk of Miguel to HA... his rashes slowly disappeared. We also changed his soap from Cetaphil to Lactacyd blue. His skin reacted positively to Lactacyd. Now, my baby is rash-free!!! yipeee!!!

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...

Multiply Site

Hi Guys! You can view more photos and videos in my multiply site http://lea041099.multiply.com/ I'm cross-posting so my blog entries are the same for both sites.

I'm thinking of maintaining just one blog. If I use multiply not everyone can post comments/replies coz I think you need to sign up first.. hmm...

whatcha think?

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!!!

This blog entry proudly presents:

MIGUEL FRANCIS L. ATACADOR

little one

do I look like mommy or daddy?

peaceful

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? :)
