Am I really following these chart?  Uhmmm….I’m in big trouble…..so sorry BB5…

Time to be the real MOM!  Choose what you eat!

I just hope I’ll stop being picky with what I eat.  I’m not on my 13th week, yuet I’ve have that unsettling rumbling in my tummy…I wish it’ll stop so I can eat to my heart’s content.

BB5, can you let Momma eat normal, puuhhhhlease?

I would love to join Moms On The Floor but regretfully, we’re tied this Saturday! I would love to have a refresher course with Jaime for her Baby signs, free class from KinderMusik by Teacher Jeannie, do Mommy Yoga and learn Infant Massage by no other than Rome Kanapi.

Gosh, I’m missin’ a lot! Maybe if our schedule will change, I’ll try to dropby, hoping Mommy Janice would let me in if no slots are available anymore…hehehe

We would usually think of food right? Yes, we would definitely crave for a certain kind of food but what I didn’t expect was to get this answer…

It’s possible that what you really need is a H-U-G. Simple hug. Yeah, that’s right, ONE tight hug from my love ones. Please include kisses too!

Sidestory:
Lately, I’m amused of AD when he would suddenly tell me, “I love you Mom.” Without any reason at all…does he know what it really means? Just yesterday when I had them all to myself ALL day, at the end of the day, I was dead tired. He feels it and I also tell him to help me and to behave. JX was wailing because he’s hungry (he didn’t want the food I prepared for me…he wanted the chicken bbq! I guess because he wanted the sweeter version of our food). So now, he tells me, “I love you, Mom (I love his accent of Mom!).” Awwww! Then he goes to his sioti JX and pat JX’s back…..Double Awww!

Last na, AD told me, “Mom, thank you that we stayed home today!.” This also surprised me because this boy of mine has been used to going out and have lunch/ dinner outside. Really, this caught me by surprised. Ha! I got this all in a day, good thing, it didn’t give me a heart attack!

HB, you missed this one! :p

Come February 2010, I should only have gained a total 30lbs. I will not go on a diet (oh no, I will not…not in my vocabulary) but I hope I would stay within the range. When I was in my 9th week, I even lost weight…told you I’m in my weird condition right now. I’m at lost on what I’d like to eat and most of the time, the food I order never pass my weird taste buds. My favorite food to munch is the spicy sampaloc which I discovered with my co-mom. Sweet and spicy! I never got to find my fave mango preserve brand but I’m happily contented with my sampaloc. Problem now is that I’ve run out and Unimart is far away from me! I hope by next week, I get my stock! I’m desperate!

This post will be my constant reminder.

My Avent manual breastpump gave up on me last night. It caught me by surprise when it suddenly cracked at the neck of the breastpump. What?! Sheesh! Of all times! We were scheduled to go to the province for the weekend and I was trying to collect all the milk I can for JX. How’s that? Anyway, thank God it happened last night. I still had time today to check out where I can buy another one. Actually, I was thinking if I need to buy a brand new or just source out from a friend. Eventually, the latter was ruled out and I bought my 3rd set of Avent manual breastpump.

I knew I didn’t want to buy in the mall because of it’s obvious jacked up price. So, what I did was check on multiply and ebay.ph for a brand new Avent breastpump. In no time, I decided on the ebay.ph seller. How did I decide? Easy…the buy now price was fair enough (Brandnew at P2500, mall price would be as much as double its price). The seller provided her mobile # so I was able to easily contact her and tell her I needed the breastpump today. Lastly, to ensure that this would be a smooth transaction, I looked at her feedback profile and it looked good. Eventhough she just joined ebay.ph just late last year, I just shrugged off the idea that she might be a fake and still decided on getting it from her. I was lacking time already.

Late this afternoon, stressed as I was, I got her response and agreed to meet and get my order. No choice, it was not the friendliest neighborhood but I had to get it. Good thing, I was able to request for a driver to go with me as I wasn’t familiar with the meet up location. After a few minutes, we met and I met my new bestfriend. Yehey! I quickly opened the box and my bestfriend is now waiting for me to use her.

JX have no fear for you will have an ample supply of breastmilk. Sorry to leave you again but I want you to know that I’ll always be thinking of you…and AD while we are far away from you.

We love you, JX and AD!

For the past months, I’ve been travelling locally with my HB.  The trips would usually take 3-4 days away from the kids (woohoo, honeymoon! hahaha).  This is the first time ever events that I left AD for more than 2 days and with JX too.  With JX, this is totally a different matter.  I had never left AD for more than a day when he was still a baby!  And look what I’ve been doing with JX.  I’ll share with you (in another post) how bad a mom I am to JX.

But no matter how far I am, I do not forget the kids especially JX because I get engorged!  I know, I know, it is not a nice word but that’s the term when one is nursing her baby so pardon me, my friends.  For non-nursing friends out there, engorge is a term when nursing moms do not get to feed or pump out the milk out of their breast for several hours, in short, my breasts get swollen or to be blunt, gets BIG (wowee! Only time when I get a nice looking plump booby!).  So what do I do?  I bring out my best friend out of its hiding place!
