Thank you pia and lisa! Actually, natulog ako ulit. Hehe umuulan eh. Sarap matulog.

Don't worry lisa, di ka nagiisa. Si ej din ganyang ganyan. Tapos style pa minsan, matutulog sa kabilang kwarto para siguro di maistorbo tulog pag nagigising si baby. Well, pagpasok ko naman sa kanya maiiwan si katie so goodluck to him. Hehe btw, plug lang ako konti. :p sa mga sisses sa south, pag kelangan niyo pagawa suv or sedan niyo, magoopen siya ng shop along president's ave. Procolor name ng shop.:)

Eto na, magrready na kami ni baby at padating na ang photographers niya. :p

Later!

Naku Lisa, ganyan talaga ata mga lalake, or some of them. Naalala ko tuloy si hubby. 40 days lang kasi sya dito last year. Nung lumabas na si baby sa hospital, sabi ko shifting kame sa pagaalaga kay baby. Ako from gabi hanggang mga 6am. So kahit tulog sya kelangan ko sya gisingin ng 6am para paarawan si baby at sya naman magbantay muna. Aba, nahuli ko sya, ang ginagawa nya, at 6am punta na sya sa house nila, at ibibigay si baby sa parents nya tapos sya matutulog either sakanila or dito sa bahay pero sa sala. Akala ko nung una, talagang sya ang nagbabatay kay baby hanggang sa magising ako pag lunchtime na, yun pala tumatakas sya! Buti nalang pag gigising ako, masarap luto nya, bumabawi nalang sa ulam. Hehe.

reading all the comments about mga hubby parang nafoforesee ko na ang "not so distant future" specially with my current dilemma. waaaah :'( asawa ko pa naman di sanay sa gawaing bahay! so help me God na talaga drama ko in a week or few :-\

kim,
naiimagine ko baby mo para sigurong cousin ko yun. malaking bulas kasi lahi ng auntie ko (she's about 5'5 or 5'6, volleyball player pa nung hs) and her baby is about 13-15kg nung mga 12-13mos, as in tawag namin sa kanya michelin a.k.a. michelin tires :P first time i saw her 6mos cya, mukha cyang 9mos sa laki and haba nya ;D d pinapadiet ng auntie ko kasi tancha nya biglang papayat daw pag biglang tumangkad, and true enough, biglang haba na cya ngayon na almost 2 na cya. mukha cyang mga 3-4yrs old :o

p.s. text/pm kita re: bio oil :)

sis weng and lia, di pa ako "mentally" prepared manganak, naiiisip ko palang injection at hospital takot na talaga ako. LOL. 1cm na ako yesterday pero hinay sa pagpapatagtag muna or else goodbye sa health card claim. para na akong timang na kinakausap tyan ko every hour kahapon sa sobrang kapraningan ko na baka manganak ako before thurs. sinasabi ko nalang kay baby magpagwapo muna cya til thurs para wednesday makapunta ako ng takashimaya baby fair to buy him toys ;D kung nakakapagsalita lang siguro anak ko, sinasabi na siguro nun sakin "si mommy hanggang sa huling sandali ko sa tyan shopping parin ang inaatupag!" :P

Sis grace, goodluck talaga about hubby doing his share sa chores.:)

Malakig bulas siya talaga. I'm 5'6 kasi and her dad is 5'11. Sa sobrang haba ni katie, di na siya kasya sa carrier at basket since nung 2 weeks pa lang siya..

Alright, will wait for your advise re bio oil:)

Kim, how was Katie's binyag?

Pia, yung mga folds ni Zoe, minsan hinde natutuyo ng maayos ng mom ko pag pinupunasan sya ng hapon kase nakaalis nako for work. So binibilin ko sa yaya nya to make sure na napunsan ng maayos (walang libag or anything hehe) and matutuyo sya talaga. Pinapa-check ko din from time to time kung may nata-trap ba na pawis pag hapon. Kaya nga nagi-guilty ako minsan kase dapat ako pa talaga ang gumagawa nyan lahat but I need to rest din kase nagwo-work ako. Hay, kung pwede lang pumitas ng money sa puno at hinde na mag-work eh hehe.

Regarding hubby naman, in fairness wala ko reklamo kay hubby ah kase sobrang maaasahan sya talaga. Yesterday, nag-off si yaya and my mom went out for the weekend. So kame lang 3 sa house namin kase yung isang helper namin nag-off din. Kahit puyat si hubby, pinag-nap nya muna ko habang sya nag-aalaga kay Zoe. I'm so grateful kase very helpful sya talaga.

^it went well!:) dami dumating kaya super happy kami including katie kasi dami kumakausap sa kanya. Nagaagawan nga kami ni ej sa kanya kasi gusto siya laruin ng friends niya and at the same time ng friends and family ko. Hehe haba nga ng tulog niya kagabi. Halos kakagising lang namin pareho ngayon.

Well, si ej maaasahan naman mag-alaga pag wala ako or meron ako kelangan gawin. But if he knows anjan ako to take care of katie, ayun panay ang ps3 or hindi nga nakikidamay sa pagpuyat minsan. Pero like last night, mas late kasi umalis friends ko so I needed to stay sa party pa muna. Siya muna nag-akyat kay katie sa kwarto at nagpatulog. Kaso useless pagpapatulog niya kasi nung narinig ni katie boses ko, ayun, biglang gumising. :)

Ang asawa ko natulog lang sa clark. Hmp. Pero at least di nako pinagdrive. Ganda ng strategy ko. Hee. Kasi convoy kami nung isang car ng sister ko. May driver tapos parents ko ang passengers. Eh gustong gusto niya idrive yung kotseng yon. So ang nangyari, si driver at si yaya sa honda city namin tapos parents ko, ako, baby and husband ko sa camry. Hehe. Yon nga lang, karga si baby papunta. Pero pauwi kanina sa city na kami ulit kasi tumuloy na silang baguio with my sister and her family. Nasa car seat si baby pabalik, nakatulog nanaman. Buti na lang talaga gusto niya sa car seat.

Lessons learned:
- better talaga to pack sobra than kulang
- nilagay ko things ni baby sa plastic container (got the idea from lia) and ok ito kasi kita ko kaagad yung laman
- bring beddings (suggested by lia and weng) para sure malinis tutulugan ni baby and comfy siya.
- parang i want to buy a small playard para sana may mapagbabaan kay baby imbes na naka-karga. My sister brought small playards for her twins and parang ok
- bring toys! I brought her favorite toys so pag medyo fussy siya, i bring out the toys. Her favorite is baby einstein take along tunes.
- if we weren't with my sister who brought a big basin (di pala bath tub dala niya), i would have brought my own. Unless siguro malaki na si baby.

Nag-shopping din ako sa pure gold. May huggies snug & dry pero walang size 3. Sayang. But i got a lot of nuby products - sippy cups, snack cups, spoons and forks. Mas mura don kesa sa youji & me.

Then i went to sm clark. Bumili ako ng huggies dry comfort to try. Kung ok, magh-hoard ako habang naka mark down ang prices. Bumili na din ako ng playtex drop-ins for next time. 8oz nurser and 2 packs ng liners na 50cts for 900, 350 off, bundle siya. Bumili na din ako ng teats. Tapos may nabili akong baby king pacifier case sa puregold. Kasya don playtex teats so may inidividual lalagyan na ako. Tempo sana bibilhin ko, 20% off kaso 800 yung 8oz bottle tapos 800 din yung 100 liners. Mahal!

Tapos naiuwi na namin yung pinabili ng husband ko sa sister ko na fisher price kickin' bobbin' gym na naka-sale sa toyrus.

And bumili din pala ako ng crib shoes sa puregold kasi 39.75 lang isa. Hehe.

Nagkasya lahat ng gamit sa honda city! Ang laki talaga ng trunk!

After almost 2years, nakagimik din ako! Lol. Pero nakakalungkot at nakakamiss si baby kasi iniwan ko sya sa inlaws ko. I enjoyed the gimik pero palageng nasa isip ko si baby. Hehe.

Yesterdy afternoon pala sa clark, my dad, my brother in law and my husband - all tulog the whole afternoon. My mom, my sister and me awake taking care of 3 babies. Mga lalaki tamad! Hmp.

Pero in fairness to my husband naman, when i had the baby blues the first month after i gave birth, he carried the weight or both of us. Nagpaka-strong siya para samin dalawa. And paminsan-minsan naman nakikipaglaro siya baby kahit sandali. Yung brother in kaw ko hindi ko pa nakitang tinulungan sister ko sa twins nila.

Thanks for the pointers Lisa :) I'll list na din the things that I need to bring kahit mejo malayo pa. But knowing myself, for sure dadalhin ko halos lahat ng stuff ni Zoe hehe.

We went to the mall pala kanina and I bought dresses for Zoe at Gingersnaps. Grabe, we bought 2T and 24M sizes na for her. Kasya naman yung 6M and 12M kaso alanganin na especially the length. Ang arte arte talaga ng anak ko, when we were trying out different dresses on her, kilig na kilig naman sya hehe. We bought 3 dresses and super excited ako ipasuot sa kanya hehe.

I've got a dilemma pala now. I've been to 3 SM branches na and out of sock ang Nanny milk bags. That's what I use pa naman to store my BM for Zoe! Cheapest brand kase yon at 250/25pieces. Yung iba kase 500+ eh nanghihinayang ako since hinde naman reusable for BM yung bags. Nearing the end of my milk bags supply na din ako. Anyone here knows where I can buy Nanny milk bags?

Hi mommies!  I just got back from a work-related trip.  I missed my kids!

I'm going to be busy this month with Marty's developmental check-up and parent-teacher conferences with Marty and Milo's teachers.  Hanggang March 16 na lang ang school nila.  What summer activities do you suggest for them?  I'm thinking art lessons, swimming and football.

^ Happy Christening to your baby sis! :-)

Ako naman, super stressed na sa kakahanap ng Venue. Okay na sana ako sa Sanctuario Social Hall kaso di naman pala accredited Passion Cooks dun. Di ko na alam talaga ano gi-give up ko. Medyo tanggap ko naman if mag-iba ako ng caterer kase hirap talaga hanap ng venue, kaso ayaw naman ni hubby  :'( Super big naman na kase ibang clubhouse near Makati, eh 100-120 lang guests ko. To add, mahal pa venue rental.

Tapos, di ko din alam if Yanple or Party Boosters, natatagalan ako sa response time ng inquiries ko for both. Or ewan if nasanay lang ako kay Maja ng PC na sobrang accomodating at bilis magreply.  Though, Yanple already pencil booked Alex L for me. 

Paano ba? sumasakit ulo ko eh October pa naman birthday ng baby ko.

Jen, Apple gave birth last December kaya busy taking care of her baby and her preschooler.  As far as I know, wala siyang yaya.  And she got sick a few weeks ago - FB friends kasi kami.  Kaya baka matagal ang response time niya sa email.  Text mo na lang siya or call her at home para mas mabilis.  Kahit ganyan, she is very reliable.  Don't worry.

I suggest i-final booking mo na si Alex.  He is so in demand.  You will not regret getting him.

Re venue, I would change venue rather than change the caterer.  That's how much I love Passion Cooks. ;D

Re birthday party in an orphanage or similar institution (nabasa ko kasi plan ni Lisa) - balak ko iyan kapag 5 or 6 years old na ang mga kids ko para medyo ma-gets nila ang concept of sharing one's blessings.   ;D  Sa ngayon kasi, hirap pa kong i-explain ang concept of sharing as they are still in the I, me, my, mine stage. :P

Re first birthday, kahit na sinasabi ng iba na hindi alam ni baby yun, nagpa-party kami.  Kasi, now that my babies could watch their birthday video, tuwang-tuwa sila that my husband and I planned a special party for them.  They really enjoy seeing their little selves in the birthday video and checking the pictures.  Tapos, they recognize the other kids and guests (mga tita, tito, lolo and lola) sa party natutuwa sila kasi lahat daw yun present sa party nila. ;)  Tapos, they thank us for their Pooh and Friends party.  So, ma-appreciate nila talaga in time ang first birthday party. :)  But based on my experience, super tuwa sila noong 3rd birthday.  Two parties sila, sa school na kainan lang pero may slideshow presentation kaming ginawa and yung main party nila. ;)  This year, gusto nila ng party either sa house daw with theme na Ben 10/Higglytown Heroes/Harry Potter.  Hindi pa kami nag-finalize.  Gusto ko sana sa McDonald's - may Toy Story theme doon.

Good morning mommies! Hays busy week ako ngayon kase wala hubby, nasa SG siya now for a business trip! Thursday night pa ang balik :-(

Marose, thanks ha re Yanple. Yeah, will finalize na lahat this week and be giving na DP for Alex. Since morning nga, hanap ako ng hanap ng venue kase ayaw talaga ni hubby i-sacrifice ang food. Kaso saan kaya? Gusto ko na mag-clubhouse kaso ang big eh, konti lang guest ko. Medyo gusto ko kase compact na konti sa party. Astaka pag big venue, mas malaki gagastusin ko sa decors di ba? So yun, hanap hanap pa.

Yesterday pala, nagkayayaan to go to Tagaytay. My BFF texted me as soon as I sent hubby to the airport if gusto ko sumama. And I said, YES! Ayun, super enjoy naman lalo na si baby. Kaso nung pauwi na, naku iyak ng iyak. Siguro kase madilim na sa car, so binuksan na lang namin yung light sa loob ng car, and tumigil naman. Ano meron sa tagaytay, ayun traffic pa din. LOL!  ;D

Lia, hindi take and toss binili ko pero meron don. Di ko lang matandaan magkano. Mura ko nakuha yung stuff. P43 to $1.

Marose, maya't maya i change my mind about the 1st birthday party. Hehe. I want a party pa din on the day, probably a family dinner. Then maybe a mcdo party na lang para "cheaper" compared to venue+caterer etc. Or iniisip ko sa good shepherd jollibee party with mascot (kjng pwede yung mascot punta don). Bahala na. I'm still confused pero definitely not a big party.
