All pregnant Mommies

Pink and RR - The goodwill we go to is an outlet kaya ang daming gamit na nakukuha namin dun we got her cradle swing there, her exersaucer, her bouncer, and her high chair. I haven't seen much of baby stuff at the other goodwills. The thrift store we go to has baby stuff, too. di nga lang mapapansin kaagad kasi they are up on shelves over the rows of clothing, although yung iba andun sa harap ng mga baby clothes. She has a doorway jumper, too that I have hanged momentarily down in the basement so that she has somewhere to be in while i do the laundry. It is a Graco one with a tray in front so I can put some suction-based toys on it for her to play with. Once Upon A child has these things, too, kaya lang mas mahal kesa sa goodwill. The Rainforest Jumperoo costs about $65-70 dun and the Exersaucer is about $25-35. Sayang nga yung isang exersaucer na nakuha namin...the seat rotates just like a regular exersaucer but it moves sidewards, too, and yung "floor" nya is a keyboard so that may sounds habang tinatapakn ng bata. We got it at goodwill for $5 and sold it to Once-Upon-A-Child for $25. They, in turn, sold it for $45 and it sold the next day. But I am happy with the one Maizy has kasi it stores easily. We got other baby stuff as well as little tikes stuff at goodwill which we will sell at a yard sale in the next few weeks

RR - Tisay na tisay si maizy. Everybody who sees her all say that they love her hair kasi dark. Ewan kung magbabago yung kulay. But she does have her Daddy's complexion and has rosy cheeks all the time. Her fingertips and toes are pinkishshe has my eyes, just like her sister, kaya lang may pagkapungay yung mga mata nya. And her eyes are brown, like her (paternal) grandma's.

Pink and RR - This is Maizy in her exersaucer. This is all hard plastic so that kahit magkaipin na sya she won't be accidentally chewing paint off. The legs are adjustable and can fold for storage. It can either be stationary or you can fold down the little tripod legs (under the red base) to make it a little more "movable" (side to side lang...help develop balance). Missing from the exersaucer is a king-and-queen toy...i took it off to change the batteries in it. This is a Magic Castle (or is it prince and princess?) themed exersaucer. $3.00 at goodwill

Nakakagigil ang tawa ni maizy ang cutu cute nya talaga, ang cute pag tisay na black ang buhok sana hindi magbago ang color ng hair ano hehehehe....

cute, cute naman ni ethan at ang gwapo looks like he's enjoying it...fun for him and fun for daddy and mommy am hoping na mag-swim lessons din si maizy, at least before alec goes back to school.

Eve - Maganda nga yang ginawa mo para masanay din si Jacob na kumain ng baby food. Konting pasensya nga lang, pero magbubunga din ya Si Evie ayaw na nya maupo sa high chair kaya pag kumain nakatindig. Siguro feeling trapped sya pag nasa high chair kasi may tray at di siya nakakagalaw. Ang problema nga lang, minsan ang pagkain nahuhulog sa sahig

Pink - Salamat sa pag-gising mo sa akin kaya nakabalik Hay ewan, daming ginagawa. Musta na pala si Zac? Ano na development nya? Nakaka-roll over na ba sya?

RR - Galing naman sa lugar nyo at nilalagay lang ang gamit sa labas na ayaw na nila at pwedeng kunin ng kahit sino lang As long as mas marami ang time ni Tyree sa sahig mas madali sya matuto mag-crawl. Di ko na-try ang jumperoo kay Evie, exersaucer lang. Ano ba advantage ng jumperoo? Sobrang likot na ni Evie. Parang energizer din. Marunong na din syang uminom gamit ang sippy cup na sya lang ang humahawak. Just today lang nalaman namin na may isang ngipin ng papalabas. Exciting ang first tooth Nabusy sa online raket. Nag freelance writing kasi ako sa isang loan and financial related website, kaya subsob sa writing assignments dahil may deadline.

About naman sa pagtulog ni Tyree on his tummy, mga ganon din edad si Evie ng magsimula sya matulog on her tummy. Nong una natakot ako, pero sabi ng pedia nya na ok lang dahil she can already control her head. Useless din pagbinaliktad mo sya, dahil babalik at babalik sya sa sleeping position na mas hiyang sya at this stage.

Brijo - Wow, your place is amazing having all those wild animals around you! Glad the pregnancy is doing well except the gestational diabetes.

sweetpink - Galing naman ni Ethan at nag-swimming lessons na Baka magiging future Michael Phelps yan

doc gracey, first time namin nakapunta sa thrift store nung naghahanap kami ng drawers even my hubby didnt know about it nadaanan lang namin. i dont know kung may once upon a child ba dito.

wow maizy is very girly pala...hehehehehe... shes cute especially sa pictures nya with rosy cheeks...kasi its different when you look at full american babies than mix kasi mix are cute talaga...

sweetpink, did you put any sunblock for your baby? napansin ko puro mga american ata lahat dyan wala ba masyadong mga asian dyan? and parang baby mo lang ata nag enjoy sa swimming ah and other babies were scared and crying hehehehehe...he is cute din.

speaking of swimming, nagpunta kasi kami sa mall kanina pasyal pasyal lang and we found this swimming trunk for babies so binili namin... sweetpink nagsuot ba sya ng diaper for swimming?

riza, baby ko he has been always sleeping on his back ever since natuto syang mag roll over pero di ko sya hinahayaan na magsleep on his tummy pag matutulog na kami but then yun nga talagang ayaw paawat kaya hinayaan ko na lang... pero minsan nagigising ako chinicheck ko sya or pinapahiga ko sya. di ko alam ano advantage ng jumperoo pero napansin ko lang na pag nasa jumperoo sya eh madali syang mapagod minsan tulog agad kasi it bounce so easy. actually, i didnt really intend to have a jumperoo or a exersaucer... i just want something for him to stand kasi meron na sya nung seat...its not healthy for me to hold him always just to make him stand kasi tayo upo tayo upo sya with kicks pa naku baka matamaan pa jaw ko yun ang inaalala ko. The old days din wala itong mga gamit for babies to help them walk or anything...nilalagay lang sa floor then yun natutuo na lang magwalk or crawl... effective nga talaga yung ilagay lang sa floor si baby. but the last thing that i wanna have for my baby is walker... kasi i dont need anything na i am contented of what i have na for him...swing, bumbo seat, jumperoo and next is walker...i dont know about the high chair...pag iisipan ko pa hehehehehe...

about sa gamit, oo nga ganito talaga dito iwan lang nila sa labas...ako nga ang nasasayangan kasi kung nasa pinas pa yan eh talagang hintayin pang masira talaga bago itapon or di kaya di na itatapon hahahahaha...

God bless sa lahat.

Zenden- Wala naman syang sinabi na we need to get a clearance for Jacob..pero we talked with the travel clinic and they told us to make it sure na updated si Jacob sa vaccines nya.

[sweetpink 1]

@Gracey - yup he really was enjoying it. Nung una silang lumusong sa tubig nang daddy nya I thought iiyak kasi malamig but he was just fascinated with water.

@RyaNRiza - hahaha Michael Phelps talaga huh?! Gusto lang talaga namin nang daddy nya na i-expose sya into different kind of sports and this is a good start. When he was 7 months I started to give him a bath on our big tub with lots of bath toys. We were just pretending that he's swimming.

@RR - yes I put sunblock for baby on his face and body. maraming ibang nationalities dito sa florida may mga mexican, cubans and asians. There were only 7 babies sa swimming lessons ni Ethan which is also nice kasi small group lang and yes most of them are american parang dalawa lang yata kaming Asian kung mapapansin mo sa video, she's the lady across my hubby and baby wearing an eyeglasses.

US Passport ba? Ang US Passport binayaran namin is $ 100. And for his Ph Passport we paid $50 plus 25 for the Report of Birth. Sa plane ticket we paid $208 for him ( lapseat) Ano ibig mo sabihin ng passport ID? If you applied for passport you need to submitt photo id and your baby's original birth certificate.

@Doc gracey, ang cute cute ni Maizy (pwera usog). Lam mo may t-shirt din si Zac na kagaya ng suot ni maizy sa pic. Yung suot nyang pink na may Peter Rabbit, kaya lang kay Zac ay green naman hehe. Ganda pala ng goodwill sa inyo, kasi dito konti lang baby stuff. Dapat dadaan kami ni Greg after grocery shopping last Sunday sa Goodwill eh kaya lang biglang sumama pakiramdam nya kaya ayun di tuloy kami nakatingin.

@RR, kasi dito sa aminsa Indiana malamig kaya walang yard at garage sale kapag fall at winter. Uso lang cya kapag spring lalo na summer. Buti pa sa inyo kukunin nyo na lang at libre pa hehe. Ako naman dati nilabas ko yung pumpkin ko nung Halloween kasi nag-iba na isip ko at ayaw ko na magcarve, ayun may kumuha naman

Si Zac may walker na. Regalolang nung baby shower. Pinagiisipan nga namin kung bibili pa ba naman cya ng bumbo seat eh. Ewan ko ba kung dapat pa kasi bibilan din cya ng exersaucer. Sabi naman kasi ng asawa ko ba't pa bibilan ng bumbo seat eh dati naman natututo ang batang umupokahit walang bumbo seat. Pero gusto ko si Zac magkaroon noon, ewan! kumbinsihin ko pa cya hehe.

@Brijo, cool! My hubby can't wait to go camping with our son too. We also have Smokey Mountain in the Philippines but you can't camp there because it is loaded with trash So how do they treat GD?

@Sweetpink, galing naman ni Ethan Ask ko lang, magkano per session ng swimming lesson nya? Si Zac since maliit pa eh hanggang timba muna cya

@Te Riza, ok naman si Zac except that he likes scratching his face. La pa rin sign ng roll over, ewan ko lang kung magroroll-over cya Buti pa yung aso namin marunong magroll-over lol!

@Eve, sa'yo din ako magaask ng maraming tanong kapag mag-aapply na kami ng passport ni Zac ha

@Marybeth, oo mahirap din talaga yung iba ang nag-aalaga sa baby as much as possible masmaganda kung mommy talaga ang mag-aalaga. Pero buti naman at nakahanap ka ng job sa panahon ngayon

We just got home from WIC at hindi si Zac binigyan ng baby food kasi 4 1/2 months pa lang cya. Pag six months na daw cya bibigyan. Kaya ayun kami bibili ng baby foods nya pero binigyan kami ng Cereal ng WIC hehe. Last night ay bumili na asawa ko ng Beech Nut na brand. Gusto naman cya ni Zac except yung meat flavors. Natuwa pa naman ako kasi may chicken pero ayaw ni Zac eh kasi siguro mejo grainy cya compare sa fruits and veggies. Feeling ko 17lbs. na si Zac kasi bumigat cya.
