This Boy is Mine

I can't believe he's turning 3 months young tomorrow. Id look at him and cannot believe that he is actually mine for life.

How Wonderful Life is Now You're In The World

 

Yllac Lorenzo Lozada

Born December 24, 2010 at 7:30pm.

Yours are the sweetest eyes I have ever seen

I hope you don't mind, if I put down in words...

How wonderful life is now you're in the world

I.AM.SO.HAPPY! My husband and I are so happy and more in love with each other and excited and still in the state of disbelief that we are now a Mommy and a Daddy to our Yllac. Oh he is so gorgeous. He's amazingly tiny and soft, but real strong. I can just spend all my time starring at him. It's crazy how this little person is the force behind my cooling-off period to blogging, considering he's asleep all day.

Yllac - he is my most amazing Christmas gift ever! Right now we're cooking a feast for New Years Eve celebration, not that am complaining KFC's chicken as our Christmas food at the hospital, it doesn't matter in anyway, because I got my Yllac.

I know It's too late, but Happy Christmas everyone and have an amazing New Year!

ps,

Id like to take my Maternity leave from blogging if that's alright. At least give me a month. After all am a MOM now. 

Almost Ready....

We never expect these much present for our baby since we told our friends and families about our pregnancy. We already bought him an extra drawer for all the clothes we shopped for him and those cute gifts we received from the baby shower from all his godparents. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your generosities and for sharing with us the excitement of finally having a baby. They're all adorable, I wanna photograph them all. But don't worry, I won't. Now, it's the waiting that's driving us crazy. But no one can rush this baby. When the right time comes I know he'll come out, because it's crazy to imagine to stay pregnant forever. (Oh God please NO!)

Everyday I find myself  in our baby's room checking his things over and over. It's the most beautiful place in the world. I just can't get enough of the idea that any day now we're gonna have a baby to dress up. Like a real doll. We got him a white crib. All of his gadgets are still in boxes, like his stroller, swing, car seat, playpen and his toys. Am sorry, am boring you. We're just extremely excited like a small child on Christmas day. You know  that feeling? - you're sure there's a gift  for you wrapped somewhere under the Christmas tree, and everyday you just can't wait to finally tore those boxes to pieces to finally see what's inside. I bet you remember. But with us, it's a baby.

Shhh The Baby's Sleeping

I guess there is something about a woman's big round tummy that fascinates /attracts people. Ever since I got into this full blown frame, people in the grocery just wanna touch my stomach. I remember the first time some random old lady just touched me without my permission on a flee market and said am gonna have a girl. Well, she's wrong. It felt weird really. It's not like she's a friend or a family that has unlimited touching access on my tummy. It's not that bad either, it just felt weird. What's cute are the kids directly points at me, giggles and say "uy buntis" (she's pregnant). I wonder, are pregnant ladies funny looking? Sometimes people or group of girls just stares and smile. That, I like. 

There's more. Suddenly everybody around you gives you opinion and advice like a real expert. Some makes sense and 80% FUNNY. There's this one girl from the grocery said the most darnedest thing to me. Hold on to your seats....She expertly told me to eat and drink chocolate three times a day a month before my due date. Because chocolates are slippery so the baby  will just slip from your vag-eye-ners that easy come your labor day. It made my day. c",)

Anyway try getting pregnant, you'll know what I mean. Have a great Wednesday everyone! 

Where Do Babies Come From?

Mary Daisy Dinkle - Where do babies come from in America? Do they come from cola cans? In Australia they are found in beer glasses.

Max Jerry Horowitz - Unfortunately, in America, babies are not found in cola cans. I asked my mother when I was four and she said they came from eggs laid by rabbis. If you aren't Jewish, they're laid by Catholic nuns. If you're an atheist, they're laid by dirty, lonely prostitutes. So this is where babies come from in America. 

Mary Daisy Dinkle - like Katherine Ramsay told me behind the bike shed. She said it's when two people go "nuddy" and rub on each other to make babies. I told her she's a liar and would go to hell and burn like toast 'cos babies really come from beer glasses and eggs laid by rabbis and nuns and "prosti-tubes". She said ladies get knocked up and bake babies in their stomachs for 2 years till they spurt out their "vag-eye-ners" with blood and tinned spaghetti.

- Quotes from the movie Mary and Max. - my fave movie of all time, for the last week or so. Have you watched it yet? Pleased do so, it's so cute.

So really, where do babies come from??? It's the hardest question a kid can ask right? When i was 12, i asked my mom that question. She said it's when two people love each other and when they kiss on the lips they make babies. Till i was 14 that's what i thought, that saliva is the main ingredient for baby making. So imagine my horror the day i knew babies do really come out from "vag-eye-ners".

Have a great day everyone! 

Ola!!!

• Hello! Hello! Hello! Yes, am still pregnant. Got to say the last month of pregnancy feels like the longest of all. With all the waiting and those fake labor pains makes me wanna rush everything. Was hoping to give birth this week but my good doctor said it won't happen any given day of the week. Maybe the following week? We'll see.
• What's so amazing having this baby this December are the Mall Wide Sale. It's everywhere. Shopping has never been this good. Those tiny onesies, shoes, toys and just about anything that screams "little-weird-person" suddenly looks so divine. Yes divine. And I haven't used that word, of course except when am practicing my British accent with Koffy. He's British by the way. c",) 
• Am glad to be blogging again. Our new home feels like a real home. Though the first week was very tiring especially for me, cos am doing everything with a heavy baby to carry around. But we're good, We're finally settled. I love that this year will end so good for us - a new home and a baby. It feels Christmas already.

Btw, are we friends on Twitter yet? Id love to tweet with you. So see you there?  

Guess What????

... and we are so thrilled. 

Some people just can't keep a secret. But i forgive them. Somehow I've got a feeling we're gonna have a boy. For me the real surprise was the day we knew we were pregnant.

And I know what you're thinking, all this time am growing the cutest itsy-bitsy-tiniest penis inside my tummy. c",)

Happy Friday ladies and gentlegays!

Baby Shower

It feels so surreal to think that in a couple of weeks now, it won't be just us anymore. Us, meaning just me and my husband. For so long it's only him i think and care about, - what he likes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner or just any snack. What sort of top that goes well with his shoe, or where he'd like to go, or just stay home and do nothing...those things we do for each other. For 5 years it's been just us. And now everything is about to change. Am glad and very excited that that chapter of our life is about to close, but am a little sad too, or maybe sad is not the right term. Missing maybe. Ill miss us. Sometimes 5 years feels so short and there are days it's a never-ending phase for us. It's time to put an end to it by having a baby. Our own baby - a little bit of me and my husband. That's a nice thought to put an end to all our questions. 

Last weekend my best friends gave us a baby shower. It was so fun. I've never felt this much special and much loved for being bloated-ly carrying another human being. You know how bachelor/ bachelorette parties is a send off for a married life right? This baby shower signifies the end of an era for us. Not in a scary way though, maybe there's a little bit of chaos along the way but it sure feels like a lot of excitement, new beginnings and a lot of learning is about to unfold. 

Last night I couldn't sleep at all. We were both awake till 4am. Am not sure if this is because am ready to pop anytime soon or my body refuses to sleep especially when my husband is home with me, or maybe because I wanted to seize every minute of us being together alone. 

All i know is that there's a new chapter of our life (still blank at this moment) and we're gonna have a blast  writing on those pages soon as new parents.

ps,

we're in the process of moving to a new home and am still pregnant so everything is going to be slow. Even Denise Katipunera will take the back-est seat for now. But soon as we're settled everything will go back to normal. 

Enjoy your week everyone!  

Belted Green Dress

At this point of my pregnancy I couldn't ask for anything more. I could not complain for more aches and discomfort too either. For those who haven't been pregnant, well, I feel like a crab lying on it's back now whenever i wanna get up from bed. It's that hard to get up. It takes a lot of planning and tricks to hoist myself up from bed. I look funny for sure. And ill keep that picture in my heart forever that I was once, you know, a crab.

Truth is I feel perfect. I know in my heart, nothing can go wrong anymore. It's the waiting that's driving me nuts sometime. So we're keeping ourselves busy. There's so much I wanted to tell you. But for now Am thankful for all of the good things happening for us. Am grateful, am thankful, am happy, we're good. Starting first week of December we're gonna move to a new place. Yey. Not an apartment this time, but a real house. 

This baby is bringing us a lot of change. Good change. Funny, considering he/she is only pint-size. But our pint-size comes with a lot of joy, excitement, love and sure, mountains of dirty diapers. I say, bring it on.

'Til I Saw Your Face, Now Am A Believer

Tell me, is it a boy or a girl????

Oh man I don't know where to start. Tissue please.

Just had my 4th ultrasound a couple of days ago. The previous one - two and a half months ago, our baby's still all bones. So this time, when i saw our baby's chubby cheeks, i just smiled and it sure melt my heart away. It is overwhelming. It is L O V E. It simply felt so nice to finally put a cute face to all those kicks and pokes every hour of the day. It didn't took me long to recognize my husband's nose and forehead on the monitor and a lot of my father's chubby cheek. The baby's healthy, has the thickest/biggest hair, very energetic, round, has two sets of eyes, arms and legs, a big stomach and a strong pumping heart. The baby's perfect. That's all that matters.

How about the gender you might ask. Well, I simply gave the ultrasound doctor the hardest job by keeping from me the information if our baby has grown a bee or a flower, but known to my parents and to my traitor husband. I can't blame him for trying to know the gender of the baby. It has gotten to him since my parents arrived. He's easily influenced that's all i can say. Am not a kill-joy freak, I just wanted the surprise that's all. It's the excitement of not knowing. That's what surprises are for right? I don't care even if the whole world knows, I don't care for the little bee and flower, I just wanted a baby. I got to say, the ultrasound room was the happiest room in the hospital that day. It is my favorite room. Soon enough it will be the nursery. Very very soon.

SO, any guesses? Is it a boy or a girl? 

By the way forgive me for not updating too much these days, you see am very very very busy...... just watching the ultrasound video over and over again. Hope you understand. My favorite part???... it was when our baby tries to cover his/her face with his/her hands a couple of times. So cute. Shy and cute.
