Now We're Two

Hello guys. Days run so fast, I was only imagining how it feels like to see my baby and now I'm back at home with my new little me, already out to see the real world. I could only say "Wow" and that's it. Speechless was I but my heart is overflowing with joy. I delivered a baby boy last August 20 on a Cesarean operation. It was a week earlier than my due because I was loosing my amniotic fluid and it could be very risky to wait for few more days. One thing I missed with the pregnancy, I never experienced seeing my water bag broke but the good thing is I don't have to feel the pain during labor and delivery (except that there's no escape for a higher hospital bills for CS.. ouchhh to that)

I was so nervous and all those time during operation I keep myself awake to hear his first cry and see him right away. My eyes were really heavy but my mind refuses to shut them. I was praying during the whole operation up to the time I was transferred to my room. I was wide awake most of the time praying notwithstanding the shots to make me sleep.


He was so cute weighing 2.7 kilos and after 24 hrs in the nursery room he was transferred to our room and I started to breastfeed him.

Baby's Cord Blood Banking

I remember watching one of the episodes from a cartoon comedy Southpark regarding stem cell research. If I’m not mistaken it was made exaggerated when a cartoon character Stallone used to suck bloods from those poor little fetuses to cure his illness. The episode was funny but it really freaks me out too!

I have never imagined at first that there are potential benefits from the newborn's cord blood stem cells. Even killer cancers can be treated. Babies are just so pure and I consider these benefits are because of their innocence and being free from impurities. Parent's decision is very crucial when engaging to a cord blood banking. It is always ideal to do an extensive research on choosing the right stem cell bank.

I stumbled upon the inspiring testimonial of the Henderson family story regarding their sons Nicolas and Nathaniel . It was really a heart felt story how Nathaniel’s tiny cord just cured his brother’s deadly infirmity and how the family coped up with this gloomy tragedy. They went through transplant procedure using stem cells taken from the umbilical cord blood of their newborn baby, Nathaniel. Cryo-Cell International, Inc is where they bank their baby’s cord blood. Today they’re all living a happy normal life again.

Babies are gifts from God. I often call my baby a little monster inside my womb but come to think of it even if he’s just a tiny creature he can give life and hope to others.

Weight check!

My baby's getting bigger and I'm gaining some pounds from the past few weeks plus the fact that I eat frequently (lol). I took some pictures to keep myself up to date.

Photo was taken last April 26.

Unfortunately I haven't had any dark chocolates this week, need to aim it next week to prevent hypertension. Well, the weather is too hot ranging from 30 to 34 degrees. Sometimes it's quite irritating but there's nothing I can do about it, just keeping myself positive. However weather is still part of God's creation. :)

Happy Mother's Day!

In spite of the flaws and differences, being a "mother" outshines all those flaws away! Love you Nanay!

I signed up for PPP!

My baby’s getting bigger and bigger everyday. Sooner or later he/she will come out on this world and mommy will play such a huge responsibility. Money will definitely play an important part in bringing up a child. So I decided signing up at PPP to earn extra cash. I found out that it wasn’t really that difficult and PPP gave me simple instructions to have my blog approved. I’m so glad I was counted in, wondering what could be the very first opportunity to write about. Just as excited to have a baby, I’m also excited that I can earn that simple in PPP.

A dear friend of mine was into blogging and told me that I could likewise earn like her. Why not give it a try. Working and earning money at the comfort of my own home while waiting for the baby to arrive. I was thinking of saving my PPP income for my baby's first clothes. That would be after 3 more months by now. PPP will comprise a very beneficial assistance since I can also help my hubby pay some of our bills or even buy anything we need. Get paid to blog, this is indeed great for a WAHM like me!
