All for Her

Thirty One weeks and we are almost there. I am still not sure if I’m already well-prepared for the delivery. We only have a few weeks to get stuff for our daughter but it seems to be not easy to look for time to do that. Lester and I have a whole day (at least 12 hours awake) at work and school (for my husband) and by the end of the week, all we want to do is rest at home.

We’re going through a lot of big decisions lately and believe us, it’s emotionally and financially exhausting. Decisions that we need to consider our little child as well. It was different when we were just two. All decisions were easy, and it was just ourselves that we take responsibility.

But I realize, it’s a journey and a hurdle that couples go through and as parents, we should be able to handle this well. And decisions we will make shall always be for our daughter.

Anyway, you’re probably wondering, what’s that decision we need to make? It’s about breastfeeding! For almost all moms, it’s a no-brainer, we want to breastfeed our babies. Honestly, as a first-timer, I find it hard to nurse, exhausting and full effort must be exerted to do that. But as a mom, you want the best for your baby and that golden milk will be your best birthday gift to your little one from day 1 to 6 months.

I do my homework- join forums, read trusted blogs and attend breastfeeding talk. All of them push moms to nurse their children which I totally agree. Lester and I are very positive about breastfeeding not only because it’ll help us financially but also we know it’s best for our daughter. But a lot of effort is needed for this and I’m hoping I can handle it.

Every pregnancy is different and so is motherhood. Probably the way to get through this challenge is have a support group around you and be wise about blogs, forums and talks making sure they do not totally influence your decisions. Only a mom knows what’s best for her baby- not your mom nor mom-in-laws, not consultants nor other moms and not even pediatricians. What moms can only do is listen to them and up to her which one to follow and which of them you believe is the best advice for your child.

For me, my husband and our God are my best support team. All decisions are done by us, as a couple, and guided by our Lord. In a few weeks, we’re saying hello to our little doll. We hope we’re going to make it right. Rock and roll... to the world!

Me Blogging

Thank you for spending time to read my posts. Some of them may be non-sense to you, some may be relevant. I'm just happy expressing herself by sharing my thoughts. Writing started as a past time through diaries, essays for school and now for this blog. I do not intend to make blogging as a living (but if permitted, why not!)- I have a day (or mid-shift) job in a thousand employee organization.  I get inspirations from bloggers out there (can't call them co-bloggers!)- Patty, Alessa, Kelly and some others who express themselves through their blogs. I've written a few blogs even before facebook, twitter and instagram became really popular. But only now that I've decided to be more serious about blogging. Before finishing this entry, I did some research about blogging. Definitely, write ups will be original or sometimes, I may quote from someone. Some of the pictures may not be original but I will link you to where I got them. To the owner/s of pictures I may post in the f...

How I Made It Thru My Laziness

I woke up one morning and thought, I want to shop! But I was too lazy to get up and dress myself to pass by malls before I go to work. And then, I remembered my good friend Zalora. I wasn't really a fan of buying things online (especially huge amounts) because I feel my credit card might get screwed and might end me owing something I did not purchase. Aside from that, I was also not really very confident that I might not get the right size or it's not the one I bought, or simply, I don't like it at all, pala! Until I knew of someone who has tried this online purchasing and so I tried it.  This is already my second time to buy in Zalora. Remember, after being curious of buying online., this time Zalora helped my PMS-ing issues. :)  Zalora has thousands of goods anything from clothes to shoes to accessories, branded or from the marketplace, for men and of course, for the ladies. My favorites come from Spring Fling and Something Borrowed. Affordable, classy and...

It was an Accident.

It was a Thursday  during my midshift lunch break when Lester and I scheduled to request NSO copies of our birth certificates and CENOMAR. It was very unusual of me riding the jeepney during rush hour going to Glorietta but apparently I saw a short queue at the loading area. I took the ride and jumped off in front of Rustans but the jeepney driver unloaded me on the second lane. I saw this huge bus in front of me while I was trying to cross the street so I decided to cross in front of the bus. I was too close from the bus's front that it hit my right upper arm and lost my balance. When I was almost in control, the bus still did not stop, hit my right arm and fell down on the steel drainage along Ayala Ave. I was still able to manage to get up and immediately called my fiance. I saw him running while holding his cellphone, shouting at the bus conductor. Initial negotiations did not go well that I decided to just go to traffic police station for a blotter and go to the hospital f...
