"My Pregnancy Mask.."

Hi everyone here's my photo update... Hehe I gained a L O T!

(Photo taken last saturday: April 04, 2009. Infront of my MacBook Chuckleeees!!!)

As of today I’m 34 weeks and 5 days old pregnant. And well my long pregnancy journey will soon E N D. We are just counting weeks until PENGI comes out. Another JOURNEY is waiting…

A while ago Erik and I went to the hospital. I had my OGTT Glucose Test (It’s a diabetic blood test) and FLU/INFLUENZA Vaccine Shot plus Tetanus Toxoid Shot (Ooooutch! Those shots really hurt’s)

I also had the chance to talk to PENGI’s soon-to-be PEDIATRICIAN. She is the youngest sister of my OB-GYN. She handed me this DVD a preparation tips on how take good care of our baby and also it explains the importance of vaccines to our dear little ones. As soon as we arrived home Erik and I watched it.

Anyhow… again I’M JUST COUNTING WEEKS! I’M VERY MUCH EXCITED to see our Baby!

Oh well my drama starts here… Dealing with so many changes in my life is so hard. REALLY! I never imagine myself in this kind of situation. But knock knock kncok REALITY CHECK? These are FOR REAL! “I AM GOING TO BE A MOM.” Wohoooo… BIG CHEEESLE!!!

And about my NEW Family? (I’m pertaining to Erik’s Family.) All I can say is that, I’m so blessed to have all of them. I can’t even utter a word. They just don’t know how much THANKFUL I am. Since DAY one I entered their humble home until today… They all welcome me whole-heartedly.

Last 4 nights ago Erik’s Papa came by to our room. We’ve talked about some issues and blah blah blah… I just can’t even illustrate how my heart pounds while he speaks. Those warmth-melting words from him are a HUGE relief my HEART is really jumping! (sorry for exaggerating this part) I was just about to cry when, I realized that I need to stay composed. Whew! I’m starting to LOVE them even more. They were all nice and very well structured people.

To wrap up this blog entry! I just want to THANK PAPA GOD for all of these blessings. AMEN. Cheeesle.

My HAPPY thoughts: A while ago Erik and I had our dinner at FISH AND CO. Shangrila (the place to be) haha burp fish and chips…. Yikeeeee! BYE for now... Tsuuuuuuup!

Pengi's: "PACK 'n PLAY"

I'm off to work today:

So Erik and I bought this cute GRACO PACK 'n PLAY for our little one.

Product Description:

This Pack 'n Play includes both a full size bassinet and a changing table. Push button fold makes setting up a breeze - just unfold, pull up the sides, lock them into place and voila - you've got a comfy quilted baby environment for your little one to play or rest. The full-size bassinet with quilted bumper and mattress pads, for infants up to 15 lbs, offers a great nap place where your little one can rest peacefully or delight in the soft, detachable toys hanging from the canopy.

When baby needs a little extra soothing, try the 2-speed vibration, and one of the five nature sounds or tranquil songs. And with a timer that has 4 settings there's no need to disturb your little one once he or she has drifted off to sleep. But if you do want to take a peek, there's a built in night light. And when diaper duty calls, there is a convenient changing table and a parent organizer so your diapering supplies are close by. A convenient travel bag is also included - just fold the Pack 'n Play playard up, stow it in the bag, and you and your little one are off to see the world!

Next in line:

Pengi's Stroller and a lot more!!! Woooooot!

my ATM is crashing down hehe oh well all the LOVE for my little one.

I'm just counting weeks and my baby will see the WORLD! Yiheeeeee...

tick tock tick tooooooock!!!

"My NOTE thought!"

As of today I’m 32 weeks and 3days old pregnant. Having this little miracle inside my tummy CHANGE my life big time.

Well this question crack up my mind: WHAT IS THE ESSENCE OF BEING A WOMAN? This question was asked to Ms. Universe '94 Miss India Sushmita Sen. Sushmita's famous answer: "Just being a woman is God's gift. The origin of a child is a mother, a woman. She shows a man what sharing, caring, and loving is all about. That is the essence of a woman."

It was the question that always makes me think and thank God for giving me this wonderful gift. Now that I’m going to be a mom I’m even more excited to wake up each day of my life. Talking to my baby (for him to be able to recognize my voice while he’s down there) that’s now one of my favorite daily routine of my every morning. Next in line? Watching Erik while he sleeps. Seeing him every morning on the other side of our bed, waking him up with my huge hug is a YES WAY!

On the other hand I just want to share this…

When I was a little girl I’m always praying to Papa God, asking him to grant my ULTIMATE wish “for me to have that chance of seeing my DADDY”

My daddy left us when I was 8 mo.s old. I don’t even know how he looks like, all I know is his name and that’s it! and SAD TO SAY I don’t even have a picture of him. What hurts me even more back then is when my mom doesn’t even want to talk about him anymore. Poor me.

Until this very moment I feel so incomplete and STILL HOPING that one day I will see him in flesh. (FAITH could only tell)

But after how many years of my agony I realized a lot of things, I may not have a DAD that will protect and guide me.

ATLEAST NOW I HAVE 2 OF THE MOST IMPORTANT MAN IN MY LIFE. What else could I ask for? I love them both so much. I never even imagine a life with Erik but now its really happening. “Believe it or not” again for the NTH time I love him even more this time.

And for our little one who is coming very soon… “I’M VERY MUCH THRILLED TO SEE AND HUG YOU TIGHT! Rest assured that I would do everything for you. I will try to be the BEST MOM that I can be. MOMMY will never leave your side no matter what. I also know that PAPA GOD and your Guardian ANGELS will always protect and love you dearly. I love you so much baby.”

About this week:

March 04, 2009

After my very long strenuous day at work Erik and I decided to go at HOME DEPOT (Julia Vargas Ave. Ortigas Center, Pasig City)

with his Mom and little sister Amae. Our main purpose is to check out some real good quality bed. We’ve been searching for a queen size bed for so long and wahlah! At BLIMS FURNITURE there we rest down our eyes hehe we checked their entire sleep shop corner. After having a long discussion with their sales man we end up choosing the SHERIDAN queen size bed (it is made of rubber dark oak wood. Plus a ECCELENTE orthopedic salem bed. (it’s a jacquard fabric and double quilted mattress) after paying it off same day it was delivered last Thursday afternoon.

Were also preparing to buy stuffs for our baby. (I’m on my 7^th mo. now going 8. Erik is vey excited to shop for Pengi’s stuffes)

(Our NEW Bed)

(Our wall of FAME... Cheesle!)

Amae's Room

(Turned out to be our room...

Ate Tammy and Kuya Xave stayed in their old room

while Amae stays in her Mommy and Papa's room)

...but still she's doing all her errands here (assignments etc...) :D

March 05, 2009

Nothing very much interesting with this day but my sales person from A.Shop texted me that my MacBook was there already and ready for pick up. I excuse myself early at work and run to A.Shop to get my NEW MacBook white Wooooot! hehe

(*New* MacBook White '09)

after the manager openhanded my receipt, Marvin (my sales person) polished everything meaning I got the Mac office for FREE!!! I immediately went down because Erik and Amae was about to picked me up at The Podium’s drive way :D later that evening my dearest Ate Tammy checked on my Macbook and fix everything for me. Cheeesle!

(My Caseman laptop bag from Ate Tammy. Thanks ATE!!!)

Xns:

I’m convincing her to get the new titanium one.

Coming soon :D hehe

March 06, 2009

I had a FUN-EEExperience in Megamall. Again I’m off to work early yesterday because I had to rush and buy my whole entire outfit for today’s event. Ate Tammy invites me to join her at their friends wedding since Kuya Xave can’t make it with her. So I give it a GO! :D

After I completed my shopping galore… The FUN-EEExperince starts here… hehe I was walking a bit faster inside the mall yesterday because I was about to meet Erik and his sister Amae they are waiting for me inside TOY KINGDOM when a TOTAL Stranger approached me. A Chinese girl caught my attention, at first I thought she was going to ask some questions (inside my curious mind: maybe they were lost inside the mall and didn’t know where to go…) but I was wrong! I was so shocked at that very moment!!! She extends her right hand and introduced herself to me what I did? Vice versa.

She was inviting me to visit her flat in Astoria Plaza. Tugs! Weirdoooo!!!! Hehe anyhow I won’t elaborate our conversation anymore after a long conversation with her at the end of that interaction I find her very polite and very nice. As what she had told me she wants to have a friend here in our country. And she even thought that I’m a pure blooded CHINESE and can even speak their language as well haha. FUNNY!!!

We end up our conversation by exchanging business cards and what shocked me MOST is when she took her camera and asked me if it is okay if she take a photo of me with her!!!! I had no choice but to say yes!!! whew!!! after waiving my BYE-BYE still I’m floating with full of weirdness running my mind WHAT THE HECK??? hehe

Immediately went down to meet up Erik and his sister while on our way to KFC to have our merienda Erik and I were talking about my FUN-EEExperience and on my side note he keeps on laughing and laughing while I’m sharing my so called weirdo-tale hehe

Today: March 07, 2009

While doing this blog entry I’m sitting on our bed while Erik is beside me sleeping. Until my next update!

Ate Tammy and I were going to attend a 4pm wedding later. :D
