lucky me

i went to the department store yesterday to get new bottles for matteo. i just found out that the avent classic bottle also comes in blue and pink - the special editions. i was already decided on getting the blue version of course even though i had not seen it.

as soon as i grabbed a pack, the saleslady right away informed me that it was on sale. *grin* the colorless classic bottle is actually cheaper but the sale price of the special editions make it more affordable. yipee!!! good timing, don't you think? 

the special edition bottles are on sale while supplies last. hurry! ;)

and in other good news. i am extremely happy i was able to wear my stilettos aaaaaaaaaand skinny jeans again! oh, yeah! *giddy*

sooooooo lucky me! ;)

3rd charm

wow, it's been 2 weeks since i gave birth and i'm only able to blog about it today. for some reason, i'm having a difficult time adjusting to my baby's needs. you'd think i should already be used to it since this is my 3rd, but i'm struggling. maybe coz it is already my 3rd and i have 2 other boys to take care of, yeah? ;)

i gave birth on june 10 at 11:30pm to a 6.5 lb baby boy, measuring 18.5 inches, and with a 9 apgar score. i was 38 weeks and 3 days pregnant :)

the other attendants in the delivery room said my baby was good-looking. my ob agreed and said all my boys are good-looking and that i have good genes... and that's why i always get pregnant. she was tryin' to be funny of course, but i know she wants me to stop already, haha!

here's a pic of my beautiful baby boy a few minutes after i've given birth to him:  

and here's a pic i took this weekend:

isn't he a cutie?

sigh. time flies by so fast. next thing i know he's already a month old, then 2 and my mat leave is over. i just really need to make the most of it.

and while i'm on leave, i really hope i can blog more. lookin' forward to sharing my labor and delivery experience and other pregnancy stuff that i can impart to first-time moms. 'til my next post! :)

pre-natal check-ups

i just had a check-up last wednesday and it's soooooo good to know that i didn't gain weight. whew! i've been gaining too much - around 5lbs every 2 weeks and my ob says i really need to control my food intake. but i'm still happy to know that my baby boy's estimated size is still ok. whooopee!

i'm usually in a dress + cardi outfit but when i have a check-up, i make sure to wear separates. why? well, for pre-natal check-ups, it's best to wear a top + bottom 'coz most definitely your ob will check your baby's heartbeat. and it would be embarrassing (well, at least for me) to have to pull up your dress just to show your baby bump.

i also make sure to wear shoes that are easy to remove so when i lay on that "check-up bed" it's less hassle and quicker too.

here's what i wore to my check-up:

33 weeks and 4 days

 top: forever21 | leggings: forever21 | bag: parisian

sandals: solemate x sm | belt: cotton on

see, with separates, you only need to expose your tummy. ;) but even if you wear a dress to your check-up, your ob will still cover you up down there, but again, it would take time and it's a hassle. 

so always make sure to wear separates so it's more convenient, quicker, and less embarrassing.

just wanted to share what i wore that week:

33 weeks and 2 days

dress: market, market | cardigan: cotton on

sandals: payless

33 weeks and 3 days

dress: st. francis square | cardigan: landmark

sandals: payless

33 weeks and 5 days
dress: redhead x sm | cardigan: cotton on
sandals: solemate x sm

since i wasn't able to take pix all throughout my pregnancy, i aim to take pix daily/regularly just to chronicle everything and take outfit photos. too bad i wasn't able to take a pic last friday. it was such a busy day that i forgot to ask someone or even take a selfie. oh, well.

oh, and nope, i don't have a new gadget yet... still contemplating on what to get. hopefully within a week. :)

boy, oh boy

it's been months since i last posted again. things have been crazy! and quite frankly, i did miss blogging. i sure hope i get to blog more often!

so why, after all these months that i've been quiet, i am back?! well, i am pregnant again with my 3rd baby! surprise, surprise! and, it's another boy! my 3rd baby boy! can you imagine?! wow, how productive of me, haha!

i'm actually already on my 8th month. time flew by so fast... i haven't even had the chance to get myself photographed. sigh. so many things to do, so little time!

i hope i get to blog more. i'm planning to get a tablet or any new gadget to help me post about my pregnancy and other oohmomma adventures. i just hope i get a new one, stat! any suggestions?

that's all for now. looking forward to using my new gadget for my next post (crossing my fingers)... ;)

milestones | sept 2012

wow, i've missed a few months! it's been a looooooooooooooong time since i've blogged about my boys' milestones. will make it quick... :)

uno's been very hyperactive lately and i've seen him show signs of jealousy toward his baby brother. but he's very, very sweet too. he's now 2 years and 5 months old and here are the things he can do:

• yesterday, my brother let him listen to his ipod. it was the first time he heard the song good time (owl city with carly rae jepsen). the 2nd time it was played, uno was already "singing" words like good time, oooh wo oh. cute!
• he's still afraid of his potty trainer but there are times he removes his diaper and says "wee wee," then he goes to the bathroom to pee...on the floor. crazy! ;)
• he mimics almost everything he hears and sees! my dad loves watching sports on tv and uno looks like he's been playing tennis, golf, and boxing. my sports buff in the making!
• uno can "play" yes-no-maybe. he pretty much says no to everything! and when he's the one asking, well, pancit and tennis are part of the categories. haha!

as for my baby dragon, oh wow! he's 7 months and 6 days old and the things he can do are just so wonderful.

• matteo can now sit for long periods of time. he'll just sit and play with his toys or observe. 
• can stand on his own (supporting himself by holding on to the sides of his crib).
• he's really now very familiar with food especially his milk. there have been instances while dining, he'd grab our plates or spoons. hungry baby!
• he likes playing with mobile phones and my laptop. maybe he should create his facebook page already, haha!
• although he does not cry a lot, i notice that whenever i take something away from him (say he's been playing with my phone), he'd cry really loud. he knows which "toys" he wants to play with and does not want them taken from him. hmmm, what do i make of that?

those are the things i have from the top of my head. hopefully i get to post regularly. things have been crazy especially since i'm working in the graveyard shift and i don't get to spend more time with my boys on a "regular" basis.

i miss the morning shift...and sleeping with my boys the same time they are asleep. oh well... gotta go, the dragon looks like he's about to wake up. 'til the next!
