My Rocking Cradle

I headed off to the parlor last December 6. That was exactly a week ago, 6 days after I gave birth.
I brought along two books, prepared to sit down in front of the mirror for 4-5 hours for my hair rebond. You see, my hair had an hiatus during my pregnancy. I love doing something new to [...]

33 weeks today!!!

Exercise was not forgotten but was not a priority since my Little Dynamo underwent his laparoscopic surgery to correct his VUR. Travel followed after… from Seoul to HK Disneyland to Manila to Iloilo to Guimaras, back to Manila and now we’re settled here in Cabanatuan… awaiting the arrival of the Baby Dynamo.
I have [...]

If I am going to deliver exactly on my fortieth week, I have 9 weeks to go from today. Yes! I am on my 31st week today.
And I don’t have an Ob-Gyn yet. LOL. If I am to deliver here in Iloilo, I have Dr. Pedro Manzala to turn to. He delivered my first son. [...]

I will be on my 25th week tomorrow. Yesterday, I weighed 56.10kg.
I stopped wearing jeans on my second or third month, but I can’t exactly remember when. To begin with, I am not really a jeans person.
While preparing for our trip to the Philippines, I checked on all of hubby’s jeans… which to retain.. which [...]

The first ultrasound I ever had was when I was 6 weeks pregnant with my Little Dynamo. Luckily, my OB-Gyne in Makati (Philippines) was also a licensed Sonologist. I learned later on from my doctor-friend that not all Obstetrician/Gynecologist (OB-Gyne) can perform ultrasound. One has to have a license to be an Ob-Gyne Sonologist.
The above came to [...]

Almost all Filipina pregnant women crave for green mangoes during their first trimester.
I haven’t seen any green mangoes here in Seoul, not even in the Philippine Store in Itaewon. I see ripe mangoes, sure! but no green mangoes in sight.
While we were in Kuala Lumpur, we passed by the grocery section of KLCC Suria and [...]

I can happily say I’m on the right track.
I started off at 51.8kg when I learned about my pregnancy at 6 weeks.  Yesterday at 12 weeks and 6days, I visited my OB and my weight is at 53.3kg. That’s just an increase of 1.5kg. Just ideal.
Ideal weight gain is important for me because, as much as [...]

The past days had been H-U-N-G-E-R for me every hour or so. I eat and eat and eat… Fruits helped… yogurts are a blessing. I have yogurts delivered to my house every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

In my post The Not-so-Difficult Changes I aimed not to have any weight increase for the next two months. LOL. [...]

If you’re a stay-at-home mom with a toddler and without a live-in helper, a “ME” time is almost impossible. And my husband had been away on a business trip for the last five days. With hubby around, ideal day would start with him going to the gym first. I follow after. Without him, the only [...]

Our family of three went to the OB clinic (Shin and Hong) yesterday in Goengdeok. We were excited to know the gestational age of our new baby playmate.

We have a six-week old healthy, developing playmate inside my tummy!
