Maternity Shoes

If there's one thing people sure to ask me, it's always about the gender of my baby and my shoe. Should all pregnant women walk on flats? For me it's always about comfort and posture. When you're pregnant the center of your gravity and balance changes. My practitioner recommended a chunky 1 to 2-inch heel or wedges to keep my body in proper alignment. So wear the right shoes. Extremely high heels can be a pain on your back and on your legs - as are the very flat ones. Since your belly isn't the only part of your body that is expanding, most likely you'll discover that your feet and hands are growing too. This expansion can be attributed to the normal water retention of the pregnancy or to the new fat in your feet if your weight gain is quick. And there's this pregnancy hormones ( hormones again?... there's so many to count now) that loosen the ligaments and joints around our pelvis so the baby can fit well and it doesn't stop there cos that hormone won't leave our feet to rest - So the result, the bones on our feet tend to spread slightly, resulting for many  of us - pregnant women in a half or whole shoe-size increase. But don't worry cos after delivery all those joints will tighten back up. 

My feet grew now but isn't swelling yet. But last Sunday after a long day of walking on the mall my legs and feet got achy and tired, just like everyone else. I have my regular exercise everyday and I drink a lot of water, so I think that helps to postpone the impending foot and leg swelling. But come nine months I know Ill swell.

Since high heels isn't practical now, So for the first time I did a little maternity shoe shopping that fits my growing needs. But I swear I will never wear CROCS! EVER! Nerver! EVERRER!

When you're pregnant and shoe shopping of course you have to put comfort first before style. But comfort doesn't have to be ugly right? Because at this point in my life mirror is my only friend. Pregnancy brings a lot of blessings but also a lot of physical baggage, even how positive your outlook in all of this, there are days that are just bringing you down. So for me, if I look good, the baby and I feel good. 

I know it's different for every woman, I am different. I am me. 

Since I can't be barefoot for the rest of my pregnancy, I did a little shoe hunting a couple of days ago. And thank God for So FAB. A local shoe brand that offers comfy shoes, especially this one, that has a non skid soles, a crochet material that gives plenty of space for my feet to spread and breathe out. And I love the thin strap too. Remember, comfy doesn't have to be ugly. Even for a maternity shoe. But at home Id like to walk on my husband's slippers. That's the comfiest of all.

Thank you all so much for the heartwarming messages and get well soon emails for Koffy. He's doing fine now after a shot of penicillin and tablets of antibiotic for a week, so all his wounds are healing now in no time. He was just a little shaken about the incident but he's a big boy now, he's handling the traumatic experience like a thing on the past. But yesterday we saw the dog again. Koffy barked at him, which is very unusual, because I can't remember even once he barked at any one, or in this case at any dog before. So the stray dog ran off. I guess Koffy said a lot of unpleasant things to him. I don't know. I was just interpreting things based on my human instinct. But It was "cool" to know that Koffy has a very good memory. Very cool.

Have an amazing Monday everyone. God Bless.

Don't Worry, Am Fine

Yesterday afternoon, a horny ugly dog bit my right eye, right ear and my luscious full lips. I never got to fight back cos my Daddy pulled me back so fast and besides he got me on a leash. That's okay, I already forgave the dog. Maybe having no family to love you explains his rage. Right now my eye is swollen and I have a little fever. I can't eat so Mommy is nursing me now with her soothing cold icepack. Please pray for me. Ill see my doctor later and am very nervous.

xoxo,
Koffy

Sleeping Giant

Pregnancy is weird. Am a tell you... Am sleepy all day, hungry all the time and very hormonal. All kinds of sudden emotions just shoots out of nowhere. Since am sleeping most days am beginning to have those weird dreams too. Like wrapping my baby in a taco shell and putting it in a brown bag. Am forgetting things. I now shampoo my hair twice in one shower. Cos I can't remember if I already shampooed my hair so ill do it again only to remember that Yes, I did in fact shampooed already. So may hair is terribly dry now so are my braincells.

That's all folks. Have a great Wednesday.

Nude (closed)

Six months ago this was a skin tight floor length mummy dress. So I did a little tweaking to give it a modern look, but obviously, knowing myself, am a big chicken when it comes to wearing a little tight dress. It just never occur to me that all i ever needed is an additional big frontal bump to finally gather my confidence to wear it.

This is a very cute, sexy dress. Its soft, stretchy and comfortable. Trust me, it can fit anyone. The question is, do you want this dress? Since I can never wear this anymore once i give birth, am giving it away now. So again, do you like it???? Then its yours. Just leave a message here with your name and email address and Ill announce the random pick on Monday. You can tweet or  blog or facebook about this dress, or not. It's up to you. But it's much fun to share right? So spread the love. This is my way of saying thank you for all the emails, love, warm messages, and support you've always given me. Am always grateful for you.  

Good luck everyone!

Today, September 15, is a very special day. 

Today, I am thirty and a half years young. I've been looking forward to this day since last week. Well, to tell you the truth, every since i turned thirty early summer this year there's no denying that am already on the old category. Felt like am halfway through my life. So why not celebrate my and-a-half more year on earth today right???? Am just thankful that after a month i turned thirty we were finally given a baby. It was a gift. I am more in love with my morning now because of the baby kicks and somersaults, aka - my alarm clock, and everyday the changes are amazing. I have no idea this is going to be so fun.

So when is your and-a-half birthday? I think it's about time to celebrate our birthdays twice a year just for the fun of it.

Ch ch ch ch ch ch Changes


husband

This is long...I miss him. 

I really HATE it (before and now) when people say to me things are gonna change between you and Jayson once you get married. Blame it on Judith McNaught but i believe in fairy tales and happily ever after. With all my heart I prayed for that one perfect man for me. God listened to me and he gave me Jayson, whom I knew since high school. Then after two years of dating we  decided to get married. I may sound unreal but he hasn't changed a bit. 

For the past weeks now, am having this weird waking up hours, like three or four in the morning and am just so hungry. Am not sure what to call that marriage connection but once i wake up, minutes later he'll be awake too, then he'll automatically massage my back and my hips with his eyes still closed. And after a while he'll ask me, "gugutom ka?" (are you hungry?). Id nod and still half asleep he'll get me a sandwich or a fruit. He'll go back to sleep while am eating while his foot giving me a leg massage. 

He's always been that way. Always there for me. Even before we got pregnant, he almost always does everything for me, which sometimes I feel bad cos I can't do anything without him anymore. He knows everything I need even before i asked for it. And every day I thank God for him. He is my best. I don't know anything about marriage and how to make it last, but I guess the only secret to a marriage is to think of your husband as the most wonderful person in the world, and your wife the best woman in the world and NO ONE ELSE.  That happiness and love is real when you're together. And literally you cannot live without each other.  

Marriage is a good thing. It unites you and makes you official, but certainly did not change our relationship. It gave us even more freedom to grow, to make decisions, and to somehow understand together the complicated circumstances we encounter as we go on. I like the fact that we're already planning our trips twenty years from now. My husband is a dreamer. And Id like to listen to his fantasies and imaginations. It makes me continue to hope for all the things we want in life. 

Realistically speaking I know things are already changing. One for certain is his hair. But I think he's still suuuper cute. Since Koffy inherited his looks already, I wish our baby would look like him too. Why? Cos I wanted to be constantly reminded of how God is so good to me.

We're gonna be parents this December. And that is the kind of change I desperately want. Am grateful it's finally happening.

 I think It's totally okay to ask every one of your friends for advice, then do exactly the opposite. That's what friends are for.

Have a happy Monday everyone. Do you have that feeling???? A good feeling, even though it's Monday??? Well, I just talked to a friend this morning and right now having my bowl of yummy oatmeal and a cup of coco. I have a feeling this is going to be a good day.

By now am used to hearing husband say to me, "you're not fat, you're just pregnant", or "there's no need to feel crap, it's the pregnancy". When days are crappy ( take note, not me) am glad to hear those being said to me. 

Honestly, I don't have any idea that pregnancy is a lot of work. Am not scaring you though, because this is the best thing that can ever happen to a woman who longs to be a mother and the best feeling in the world and the most thrilling nine months in the life of a husband and wife. And God knows how much i wanted to be a mother. We've prayed for this, we've prepared for this. But nothing can ever prepare you to the emotional and physical ups and downs the day you finally get pregnant. Because once you get pregnant you do all the work, the literal word "baby making" is all yours to do. Every single thing you do, everything you eat, it affects your baby. You can only do so much to be very careful and be healthy. So thank God for supporting partners. They make everything seem a little easy and oooohhh so sweet. 

Well, Ive learned that once you feel crappy just put on a nice dress, go out and take a photo of your bump. That always works. Or put on a red nail color, cos i read somewhere, that manicure is the new face lift. hehe. 

Anyway everybody feels crappy every once in a while right? Am not complaining, am just pregnant that's all.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Baby Love

Okay, before anyone jump into a panic reaction, NO this is not a high jump, just a couple of inches above the ground. It was the husband who's lying on the ground. It's just that i miss jump shots so much, that's all. But thank you for your never ending concern. Always appreciate that.

So a couple of days ago i had my second ultrasound. The baby's very healthy. I guess that's the most important thing right now. To know he/she is very healthy. It has two sets of legs and arms, it has a butt, pumping heart and lots of ribs and it has a big head. So far the baby's on track but a little shy. We didn't see the gender. But that's okay. All we ever wanted is a baby and finally God gave us one, so regardless if he's a bee or if she's a flower we're just excited to start our little finally. Maybe we don't want to know anymore till the day he/she comes. I really want that surprise! Sometimes I just can't wait for December, when all i ever think about now is this baby. I know December is gonna be so hectic with Christmas and New Year and soon this baby. I say bring it on. I am soooooo ready!

Have an amazing Monday everyone.
