David's 1st month

How time flies so fast! My little boy is one month today. It feels like I just gave birth! Haha. 

Since this is a very important day for my small family, we decided to prepare something for lunch. I cooked spaghetti, chicken and we bought David a cake. 

And today is also memorable because this is the FIRST time we had a family photo. Can you believe that? Hahaha. 

Happy 1st month old to my little boy David! Daddy, Mommy and Ate Amber loves you so much! 😍

Babywearing

Since I am a WAHM, plus we don't have a nanny or helper, I do all the chores at home and I have a 4-year old toddler, it would be nice to carry my baby comfortably and safely while doing other chores at the same time. When I learned about babywearing when I was pregnant, I became intrigued and interested to try it when my son is out. Good thing my SIL had a ringsling and she gave it to me when I told her about babywearing. 

I first tried babywearing David last Saturday when we accompanied my husband for his check up. This ringsling is hard to lear oh boy! You got to have a lot of patience trying it and making sure you're doing it right. When we were waiting for my husband while he was talking to the doctor, I tried babywearing my son while sitting. Oh goodness! Sitting is the best position as far as I'm concern because I get to relax unlike when I am standing. 

I am so happy with my decision of babywearing my son as this is one pf the thjngs I was not able to do with my first born. I feel comfortable and being hands free makes me hold other things nd hold my daughter's hands while walking. 

I will also be trying out woven wrap soon, just waiting for my order to arrive. I feel more comfortable with it when I watched it online and I think it is easier to setup. 

Oh, did I mention this is addicting? Definitely! 😊

Generic Diapers (Newborn)

I was so happy when a lot of readers took time to read my blog few years ago about the generic diapers I used for my daughter. Now, I am sharing with you the generic diapers I am using on my newborn. 

The one on the left side is called Winny and the one on the right side is Bosomi. These are the two diapers that I use for my newborn now, and so far no rashes on my baby's bum. 

They both cost 6.50 pesos each and they can also be purchased by 30's (one pack). They are somehow the same price as large and XL size of other generic diapers. 

Like what I meantioned in my previous post about generic diapers, they are cheaper compared to branded ones, you just have to make sure that the baby will not have rashes. Why do I use generic diapers instead of those branded ones? I choose to be practical, plus this stage of my newborn is where he poops and pees every 2-3 hours. 

The Grumpy Mommy's second baby is here!

I finally gave birth to our second child last week, February 16, 2015, 6:47 pm via C Section. We named him, David.

I woke up 6am Monday morning to prepare my daughter to school and when I went to the restroom to pee, I noticed that water's been flowing continuously. It was the amnionyic fluid, my waterbag broke. I went to the hospital and met my husband there and went straight to the Emergency room. 

I was on VBAC plan but the baby was cord coil and my cervix did not fully dilated (2cm only) and had to decide I will have a C Section instead. Though I was a bit disappointed, I am still thankful that my baby boy was safe. 

We stayed at the hospital for four days and was discharged last Thursday. It's really good to be home and be with family. Now, i am resting and still a little bit overwhelmed with all that happened and still adjusting with the "puyat sessions" I am in right now. I even feel I am having baby blues. But anyway, all is well and God has been so good to me and my family. 

Del Monte Bone Smart

Since I am on my second pregnancy and I should be taking more calcium now, I was really hesitant at first because I am not a fan of vitamins. Tamad akong uminom ng mga gamot lalo na at ang gamot ng mga buntis ay nakakatakot sa laki. Haha. Thanks to my sister-in-law for introducing Del Monte Bone Smart to me because I get to enjoy juice drinks and get calcium at the same time. The one on the photo is their new flavor. They now have pineapple and orange flavors. 

It says on the package that drinking this is equivalent to 2 glasses of milk, oh diba bongga?! This is really good for those who are like me na takot sa gamot na malalaki. Haha. One can of Bone Smart is 25 pesos in grocery stores, not bad naman since this is for you and your baby. :)

Pregnant!

I am so back! Ilang buwan akong hindi nakapag blog dahil sa "hormones" ko. Hihi. 

I am happy to announce that we are expecting our second child! Kaya pala tamad na tamad akong magkikikilos, dahil pala preggy ako! Yay! I am on my 5th month na. Wow! Time flies so fast talaga. 

I learned I was pregnant back in July. Nag suggest ang hubby ko na magtest daw ako kasi two months na akong delayed. Well, at first naman kasi hindi ako natatakot dahil may PCOS (poly cystic ovarian syndrome) ako kaya minsan normal na hindi ako magka period. Then nung nag test ako, boom! Positive nga! Thank you Lord! In all honesty, ready na kameng mag asawa na sundan ang four-year old daughter namin, kasi hindi na siya ganun ka alagain, plus I guess four years is enough to try to give birth normally (I was CS on my first baby).

Now, I'm on my 5th month and hindi pa ganun kalaki ang tummy ko compared nung unang pregnancy ko. Plus, wala masyadong complications, dahil na rin siguro sa nasa bahay lang ako ngayon at hindi araw araw nagta-travel. We are praying for a normal delivery and for a boy, but whatever is God's plan for me, this baby and my family, we will accept. Blessing na nga ang bigyan kame ng isa pang anak at saktong timing pa, kung kailan ready na kame. I believe talaga na when you're ready and your heart is ready, God will give you the desires of your heart. Tiwala lang. :)

I will posting in the coming days a lot of photos from the months I was not able to blog. Marami raming blessings din ang natanggap ko for the past few months, I want to share them with you not to boast but to inspire you and believe that blessings are really overflowing. :)

Will be back soon!

I am happy to announce that I will be back to blogging real soon! I just completed my first trimester and on my second trimester this week so all the pregnant blues are slowly disappering. Yes! I am pregnant with my second child! Thank God! Will have more baby stuff reviews soon and I can't wait to share with you the reviews I've done in the past, plus will be tracking here my pregnancy as it progress.

Blogging again soon!
