A Day at Manila Ocean Park

Starting last week, I'm so excited for November 2 to come, (since we don't go to Bicol and it's holiday) we have scheduled this date for a trip to Manila Ocean Park. The entrance fee is Php400 for adult and Php350 for kids (2 ft. above). Here's some of our pictures:

Here are some fishes, (forgot the names).

Eeeeewwwwwww, from now on, I will never eat tahong (asian green mussel).

Shy lobster.

Zoe loves watching the fishes also.

It is a great experience not only for the kids, but also for adults.

mommy moments - Precious Gift

My little angle was just five months, if materials things will be the basis for the precious gifts, I have nothing to tell but when precious gift means the feelings and everything here it is:
This is the very first time I held my baby, it was seven days after delivery. She stayed in an incubator that is why it's takes some times before I held her. The happiness was different, I was teary-eyed, it was very fulfilling to held your baby after months of waiting. I am so happy of being a mom, It is the most precious gift I ever had more than anything else.

Beware of Kidnappers

As I got home from office last Friday, resting before preparing our dinner, my attention was caught by the report in television (through ABS-CBN TV patrol) regarding the baby that was kidnapped. If I am not mistaken, the baby was just a week old and was taken by the a woman about 20-25 years old who introduce herself as a nursing student, and needed to interview a new moms as a requirement in their school for her to pass the course. She even treated the mother of the baby for a foot-spa at a mall (the mother brought her newly born baby and her elder child), while the mother is having her foot-spa, the alleged nursing student voluntarily tell the mother that she will take care of the babies first and will go to a restaurant to treat the elder child. As the mother went to the restaurant, she found her elder child alone, her newly born and the alleged nursing student was not there anymore. After watching the report, I immediately told Zoe’s nanny not to entertain any unknown people who are trying to talk to her about anything.

I am sharing this, so that we can avoid any other incident like this; let us brief our nannies about what to do in case there are cases like this. Hope this will not happen to us.

Zoe is Already Five Months

Zoe has just turned five months yesterday. It's too fast, she start talking already that makes me and her dad so happy every time we hear those sounds that we too can't understand.

This was taken yesterday, before our little celebration for her.

Happy 5th months birthday Zoe, we hopes that you will grow healthy, healthy and healthy. Love you so much.

Tantrums....Tantrums

Here's my share of Zoe's tantrum moments.
Zoe was just three months here, she was cradled by his Kuya Christian (my sister's son, I am handling her too) she is not comfortable the way she was carried, we just granted Christian's request of cradling her.

Zoe felt very sleepy here, she becomes irritated every time she's sleepy. She don't want sleeping in here bed, but she loves it when you will be the one to lay down and she is laying down on your chest.
Tantrums is very common for babies, especially when they are tired, hungry, frustrated, there diapers got leaky and many others. You can also share your babies tantrums at mommy moments.

Memories of Early Delivery

I just wanted to share my experiences that I had with child birth. When I was pregnant with my baby, it is pretty good. Thus my only problem is that I had UTI (which is also common to pregnant women) and I gained weight fast. I was advised by my Gynecologist to take an antibiotic for the UTI and was cured. My second trimester was quite good and we don’t encounter any problems regarding my pregnancy. I was expecting a 100% fine delivery. But, it was May 20 when I saw blood spot on my undies I thought it was just normal since I am not feeling any ache or anything. I go to the office as usual without any problem at all, even at May 21 I go to office as usual, but after office hour I go to my OB’s clinic to ask what is it, and it happens that my OB wasn’t there so I called in her cp and I was advised to go the hospital (VRPMC). Upon examination of the resident doctors there, we found out that I was already 2-3 cm dilated. I am so afraid co’z I was just 35 weeks pregnant at that time, (my due date was June 19). My OB advised the resident doctors not to allow me to go home anymore because they will try to stop my early labor since it is not my due date yet., they even tried to give medicine to stop the dilation and everything. But, the medicine was not effective I go on with the dilation, it becomes 4cm, 5cm etc., then there are many doctors talking to me, that I have to gave birth already and that they will just try their best to save the baby, they are advising me just to pray hard for the baby to be safe, I was just crying and crying because I can’t accept it, if something happens to my baby. At 8cm the anesthesiologist already injected the anesthesia at my back and then, in less than an hour the water breaks and I gave birth. I saw my baby crying already and was cleaned by the attending Pediatrician and after it she was rush to the nursery and was placed in the incubator. The next thing I know is that I am already in the recovery room. I gave birth without suffering any intolerable pains at all.

Now, my baby is already 5 months old, and was healthy. She is already 6.8kg. Hopefully she will grow healthy and free from any illnesses. She already knows how to smile and even try to start talking.

mommy moments - A Day at the Mall

This is Zoe's first time to visit a mall, at SM Fairview, before going home from my sister's house we stroll at SM with Zoe's grandmother.

Zoe was just 2 months old here with her dad at SM Foodcourt.
