Monday Thoughts

So many things have been happening recently and I guess, things are so overwhelming. So many things have changed - my family lived in a new house, I got married, I transferred in a new office building- not work (which was easier), I transferred to my husband's house temporarily, I get to spend time with the Manipons only twice a week, sometimes, one and a half and a lot more. These I consider trials as the universe will always say, nothing's constant but change. I'm very much settled living temporarily in my in-laws but in a few we will be (or I will be... again) transferring in our own house. We made a visit yesterday in our house and it's already locked- sign that our move will be very soon.

Having that, I realized I need to get more organized- I need to learn more about time management - my weakness. I still need to know how can I balance work, friends, family (both sides), married life - and soon my kids and of course, myself. I guess prioritization is the key- and there is time for everything. I still have a backlog of to do things after our wedding, and guess what? My wedding dress is still in the box and have yet to be dry-cleaned. Our wedding accessories are still lying somewhere in my cabinet in our house in QC. Everything's still a mess and I need to get an amount of discipline to finish all those errands. 

It amazes me how (working) moms are able to manage everything and it reflects in what they do. Early this morning, I told my husband, "Tamad kumilos." But when I say that, it doesn't mean I just get back to bed and sleep. Well, for me, it's all about my phone and reading good stuff over the net that interest me - blogs or more specifically Jenni Epperson's blog. I found myself spending an hour just reading her blog and it amazes me that Jenni writes everything positive in her life - whether, beauty, travel, herself and most especially her family. I first knew about Jenni through StyleBible.ph. A stylist, column writer, a blogger, a wife and a mom, Jenni is a superwoman. She's probably very blessed that it reflects in her blogs and how she writes.



Jenni has inspired me to write today. This superwoman tells me through her blog that there is time for everything - imagine how he made time to write powerful blog entries despite work, friends and family. (not only I found out something in common - she moved to another house also!) Look for your passion, and get inspired. Love the things you do and there will always be time for everything. Manage your time and manage the changes until you live with these. Good vibes, everyone!

From Bottles to Cups

Two weeks before getting back to work, we practiced Sofia drinking from a feeding bottle. Although lactation experts do not recommend this, my husband and I still let Sofia to use bottles while I'm away. Luckily, Sofia took the bottles easily and more luckily, still latches on me when we're together. However, feeding bottles made me stressed out because of my fear of nipple confusion and thus might result to less milk production. My husband and I agreed to cup feed Sofia when she turns 6 months. During weekends few weeks before she turned 6 months, I practice her to drink from a cup. It wasn't easy at all- we had a lot of spills! At six months, we were consistent drinking milk from the cup after eating but she still takes the bottle when she needs to sleep. Until we observed she dropped bottles little by little from 5 to 4 to 3 bottles a day. A few weeks before turning nine months, Sofia weaned herself drinking from feeding bottles. They tried offering her bottles ...

The Search for the Right Pedia

As new parents, Lester and I wanted the best for Sofia and during her first year, the best that we can provide to her is the best pediatrician who will not only care for Sofia’s health but also guide us, new parents. There was only one thing in my mind that I require for a pediatrician – a true breastfeeding advocate. Not because it’s “in” and because all moms look for them but because they are passionate about this advocacy. We’ve tried four pediatricians but we stayed for a few months (or even days or weeks) with some of them and lasted to our fourth one. Let me tell you why: First Pedia: I’ve probably named her already in some of my blogs after I delivered Sofia. She was an advocate. She taught me how to breastfeed and never recommended giving formula. We got Sofia’s shots from her and her style was more on “let me know how parenthood went” and then after that, she’ll give advice. We “clicked” because she was almost of the same age as ours (a schoolmate of mine, some years o...
