ang buntis ay nag-iisip what to have for snacks. Let me re-phrase that, what food to order for delivery. Pizza, pasta, dumplings or what?!?!!

Gutom na ang buntis obviously.

Finally, I am getting back to my old self again – matakaw!

Drama Kwento:

When we were on the way to school, I was teary eyed. OA diba? But seriously, seeing this picture (nevermind yung closed eyes niya) makes me realize how eager, ready and how big a girl my Sophia already is.  Grabe, cliche as it may sound, time really flies talaga.  She’s a baby no more.

She never let go of her lunch bag the whole duration of the trip to school by the way.

On her first day to school, our day started early.  Since she needs to be in school by 8am, we had to be leaving the house at exactly 7:20am. So you could just imagine, everything was timed – by the dot. Wake up at 6:10am, have breakfast until 6:45am and then take a bath. Good thing Sophia really wakes up early so no big adjustment on that.

Both Jon and I took the little girl to school. Here she is before leaving the house.

Although it’s still orientation week and they were not asked to bring snacks yet, I made her bring her lunch bag. She also was bringing her backpack with spare clothes and grooming kit.

Five minutes before 8am, we reached Rosemont.  Here’s the little girl greeting and getting her nametag from her teacher.

As I previously said in my other post, she didn’t cry nor hesitated to go inside her classroom.  She needed no convincing too, none at all.  She went straight inside and ayun na, the rest is history. As if we never existed. She didn’t even look for me.  She was having fun inside, checking what her classmates are doing.  Parang supervisor, paikot ikot LOL. She’s sometimes playing blocks with a classmate and then the next minute, playing dough with others. Look.

She gladly participated in all the activities too and she has the loudest voice by the way. When the kids answer to the teacher’s questions, nangingibabaw her voice. Walang kawala, HAHAHA.

More photos during their class activities next.

Barely four months into my pregnancy, I am in deep confusion in what stroller to get for my little one. Funny, eh?

There are so many strollers for newborns available in the market today and its getting more and more confusing. You see, when I had Sophia, I only knew of Graco products so it was a no-brainer. I got a Graco stroller for her. I am selling that stroller now for some reason. I am hinting I will have a boy this time so I don’t think the old one’s color and pattern is appropriate. Hence, I am looking for a new one. I wonder which is the best strollers for newborns right now based on customer reviews. I sure need help in deciding which one to get as the available choices over the net are overwhelming. I need something sturdy and has all the safety features my future child will ever need aside from looking really nice and cool of course. The price has to be on the practical side too. I also want the one that has a car seat to go with it if possible.

Looks like my nights will be pretty much occupied these days with my shopping for strollers for newborns. I just hope I find THE ONE soon enough before I lose a lot of sleep over this matter. I am one overly excited pregnant mommy can you tell?

Sophia’s First day in school pics and kwento coming up in a while.

No first day jitters at all. Didn’t cry also. She was excited. Went inside the classroom and greeted the teacher as soon as we got there. And as they say, the rest is history. LOL.

Later!

Last Saturday was yaya’s day-off so as usual we took the little girl malling to tire her haha. Bad parents! Seriously though, I always look forward to days when it’ll just be the three of us. Twice a month is good but more than that, naku Jon and I can’t make it. WE have a very hyper active little girl thats why.

Here are some photos I took of the little girl last Sunday at Timezone Glorietta.

And here we are in one of those singing booths, Sophia loves to sing just so you know. Ayaw tigilan!

It was a fun day. The little girl was ecstatic when we took her to Powerbooks and was able to choose books on her own again. I am so happy she loves to read which is why we always buy books for her. Her favorite are Dr Seuss Books. I hope to complete the Early Beginner Books soon.

Before heading home, the husband looked around for golf clubs and was so near into buying the Titleist golf drivers he saw in one of the golf shops but stopped himself. I am pretty sure he won’t be able to sleep in a few days. LOL.

Did some last minute shopping for Sophia’s stuff today at the mall. Was able to get her a placemat for school, some towels, and a few more white socks. I was planning on getting socks for her from Marks and Spencer in HK but since we canceled our trip last June 9 for August, I had to get her a few pairs to use in the meantime. I also got yaya three pairs of uniform as she’ll also be out everyday now with the little girl so she needs more. While at the mall, I happen to pass by a stall selling what they claim to be the best acne treatment there is. I wonder if they really work but with the looks of it, there were a few who were buying the product so it must be good. I am so thankful I don’t need any as I never had acne problems to date. I hope it remains that way.

Two more nights and the little girl is off to regular schooling. Gosh…

The husband is dead serious with this healthy lifestyle thing after he was diagnosed to have high cholesterol and is put into Lipitor right now by his doctor. He promised himself to take extra good care of his body now and live as healthy as possible. Part of his new routine is having daily exercise – jogging every morning.

Yesterday, I saw him take out all his jogging pants and his pair of running shoes. The Adidas shoes he have had now for years have seen better days though so I told him to get new ones. I told him about the Nike Plus Running Shoe I have seen over at Shopwiki and he seemed to like them. I told him to read up on the running shoe top picks first though before deciding on ordering one so he can be sure he is getting the best. After all, he is sure to put them into good use as his health is at stake so never mind the few more dollars to spend as long as the shoe is worth it. I also pointed that he read the buying guide for that perfect fit.

I wonder which running shoe he decided to get after reading up on the very helpful articles. Wasn’t able to ask him. All I know is he ordered one already. Let’s just see when they get here.
