I didn’t make it to my scheduled “induction”.

Instead, Jon and I rushed to Asian Hospital 12 am last November 25th.

I was already 4cm when we got there.

Three hours later, 3:01 am, I gave birth.

Yes, that fast.

Here he is, the newest addition to our family…

Ramon Mateo M. King

We just got back from the hospital yesterday and our first night was as expected, a disaster. He wouldn’t sleep! I think I need to prepare myself for the worst these coming days or even weeks. I should also start looking for a reliable acne treatment now to prevent breakouts. Wish me luck!

Signing off for a while.

We’re heading to the hospital.

Leaving you with some random pics with my little girl who will be an “ate” hours from now.

Before I search for snowmobile parts, I thought I’d make a quick post about Sophia’s Literary Program in school held last Friday before I finally get swamped with finishing my online tasks this weekend and finally be admitted at Asian Hospital come Tuesday morning.

So how did it go? It went GREAT. My daughter was GREAT. This is my blog and I can say what I want, LOL. Seriously, Sophia was really good. She went up on stage, with no trace of shyness at all, said her piece in a loud voice with actions and all. Jon and I were ultra proud parents! Hay, ang sarap ng feeling! Before they started, I was perspiring non stop! Hahaha.

Here are some photos.

Dress rehearsal at home.

In school, on stage.

The Nursery Students – A, B, C and D dancing for the finale.

Here’s her piece by the way entitled

PIGGIES.

Its time for my piggies to get to bed.
The Big Mommy Piggy said.
Now I must count them up to see,
If all my piggies came back to me.
One little piggy, two little piggies, three little piggies dear, four little piggies, five little piggies.
Yes! They all are here.
They are the dearest little piggies alive.
1,2,3,4,5.

Hi, peeps!

No, I still haven’t given birth yet. The lack of updates is just a result of my laziness, as usual. I’d rather stay in bed and do nothing lately, just stare at the ceiling and try to picture how my labor will go, haha. Crazy and pathetic I know.

Although I have been doing some walking in the mornings while waiting for the little girl from school, no major contractions yet as of this day. I’m getting impatient and so does the husband. In fact, the husband can’t actually take the waiting game any longer that he will have me induced already on Monday or Tuesday – by hook or by crook. We already had it scheduled with my OB. Actually, if only my mom is here, I would have been scheduled for induction tomorrow. But you see, she’s in Iloilo to attend to my brothers’ basketball event so we have no choice but to wait for her before I go to the hospital and have forced labor. She’s arriving on Monday, hence we have to prolong the husband’s (sige na nga mine na rin ) anticipation until then. I just hope I won’t naturally go into labor this weekend. *crossfingers*

Or, if nature would really take its course and will have it the other way, I just hope not until tomorrow afternoon as I badly need to attend this.

My little girl will recite a poem (with actions and all) entitled PIGGIES all on her own on stage. And I just CAN’T miss it. If I do, I’d probably be hysterical and regret it for the rest of my life, seriously. She has been practicing for days now and I am one pressured mommy. I hope she does well. Modesty aside though, I know she will. LOL. By the way, we just came from a Tutorial Chat with our daughter’s School Director and she has nothing but nice words to say about our little princess. She also had perfect scores again on both her exams – Math and Reading. Proud proud mommy here.

Before I forget, I need to send a shout out to Jody for lending me the piggy head-dress her daughter Margaux wore for Halloween. I actually called Bumblebee for the exact same costume but they said its out of stock already and if I will have one custom made, it won’t be done before Friday so I really had no choice. Thats why Jody is my savior, thanks girl!!!

Will let you all know how it goes tomorrow. Wish us luck!

Kids will always LOVE to get toys for any occasion, of whatever kind, type and variety. It really doesn’t matter. But as parents, we want to expose our kids to educational toys at least, right? Well, I do. I actually always make it a point to let Sophia’s godparents know that I appreciate educational toys as gifts and I’m so glad that they comply. I even told them about Educational Toys Planet and were they delighted as I am. Now, we won’t have a hard time looking for toys children can greatly learn from. It’s just a click away.  You should visit their site too and see for yourself.

Yes its true, fact is, everyone can use a little extra cash from time to time. No matter what for or how much, it doesn’t matter. Extra cash is something everyone needs and its good to know that these days, and with the technology that we have, we’re only a click away from getting that much needed cash to cover whatever there is to cover, pay bills etc. One can apply for Payday Loans in just minutes at a US based payday advance lending company which is licensed in all US states that it operates in – Payday One. As I read, its amazing how it works, all one will need to do is to fill up the application online which will only take a minute and once approved, cash is ready the next day. Now, isn’t that real quick and hassle free? It is, right? I just wish those who’ll take advantage of such offer will be responsible enough to pay the interests and rates on time, which are the lowest in the market by the way as I have read.  So go take advantage of this great deal and have a merry time this Christmas.  Just don’t forget to pay back when all the merrymaking is over.

Since we already have this one,

we are now aiming to get the one below to complete the set. I’m sure my “kids” will love it. Their own playground right at our backyard. Don’t you agree?

I really hope “Santa” will be extra generous (and rich!) this year.

My yayas will definitely get their share of exercise when the kids play every afternoon and won’t be needing a diet pill at all. Haha.
