Shopping (read: retail therapy) was the one thing I sorely missed while pregnant. The heaviness of my belly just made it uncomfortable for me to walk from Point A to Point D of the mall. Thankfully, we got lots of stuff (mostly clothes) from relatives and the office baby shower. Hubby also happily took charge of choosing the crib, car seat and stroller. Chicco was one great store to shop in since they discounted your total bill by 10 per cent if you become a member for just P100. Here's the Mr. Z in action at the Chicco store :D Being the bag hag, I wanted to ... Continue Reading...
Fear not, the Cesarean section….
Warning: pretending to be medical post ahead. A friend of mine said she couldn't imagine going under the knife to deliver a baby. I also had this fear, prior to having last week's C-section even though I've had it before. I guess it's just something you'll have to face head-on. A Cesarean is a major abdominal surgery, all right, but it is also one which gives the biggest bonus since you get to bring home a breathing bundle of joy ;) Truth is, I've had a normal delivery with my son (where unfortunately labor was induced) and two consecutive C-Sections, ten years ...

Welcome to the world baby Lucy!
Hubby and I welcomed the newest (and last!) addition to the family, our daughter Lucia Solenn - a.k.a. Lucy - last May 13. Although I was scheduled to have my C-section on May 17 yet, she chose to arrive on the 13th which was the Feast Day of Our Lady of Fatima. As I was telling my friends, it's a nice coincidence that Lucia, the name I thought of before I gave birth, was known as one of the three shepherd children who saw the Virgin Mary's apparitions in Fatima in 1917. Perhaps it is God's way of telling me to start my devotion to the Holy Rosary again ;) I didn't ... Continue Reading...
Baby Girl Z and our 4D ultrasound experience
I can't quite contain my excitement upon knowing that I was going to have a baby girl again. Maybe because am biased towards the fact that girls are generally easier to raise than boys? LOL. But hubby and I couldn't really care what gender the baby is for as long as it came out normal and healthy. It just turned out that a girl is what God gave us for this, my last baby (yes, am not having any more) We're counting the weeks when she appears ;) In the meantime, am coping with the occasional sluggishness, sleepiness and aches that a prego woman often encounters. Even ... Continue Reading...
Pregnancy massage at Sujivana Spa
Going to spas and getting a massage was the one precious thing I had to give up for the past six months that I've been pregnant. It was for the simple reason that none of the regular therapists wanted to touch me. Most of them thought that I was in such a delicate stage to be kneaded and rubbed thoughtfully. One time, I even tried to Google "pregnancy massage in the Philippines" just to know my chances, and a few names came up. I began to understand that this type of massage needs some type of training on those who performed it. It was probably heaven-sent that we ... Continue Reading...
