Updating ….
I haven’t been good at updating all of you with what has been going on with our little family lately so I’m hoping this post could somewhat make up for it. Here it goes …
Just when I thought we’re over with the sickies in the house, now its the little girl’s turn. She has been running a fever since last night and the paranoid mommy that I am can’t stop worrying. Who can blame me? After my five year old cousin’s bout with dengue last December, I now dread even a simple fever. I hope she gets better asap. As of typing this though, her temperature is down to 37.8.
I haven’t blogged about Mateo diagnosed to have UTI some two weeks ago, have I? Well, I was worried stiff I tell you as I have learned that UTI in children is something serious and doesn’t stop at just having urinalysis and urine cultures. Well, we and my pedia wanted to be on the safe side of course so we were referred to a urologist after the little boy was cleared from UTI after taking antibiotics for a week. That’s the time I found out that an ultrasound needs to be done and a procedure called VCUG where there’s a catheter involved and xrays. Thinking about the procedure made me sleepless for days as it sounded so complicated while it was being explained to me but apparently it was fast and simple. I’m just really glad Mateo’s UTI ordeal is now over and his VCUG result was a-okay. He has no reflux. If he happens to have one, he would need to maintain a low dose antibiotics everyday or worst undergo a surgery would you believe? Hay, thank God wala. However, he is advised to undergo circumcision. So by next week, on the 13th maybe, we’ll have our little boy circumcised na which now makes me one busy mommy. I plan to finish all party related stuff before the 13 as I don’t think I can take it to leave Mateo at home with just the yaya to look after him after his circumcision. So far, my things to do are:
~ finalize cake design
~ deposits payments to all my suppliers
~ buy prizes
~ shop for our outfits
~ food tasting at C3 and pay the full amount already
~ finalize table centerpiece designs
~ and something not party related, finish all my online assignments starting with a certain linear motion task
Hope I can do all these in less than a week! Oh, I just remembered, I also need to have my treadmill test completed by Sunday as part of my executive check up. Whew!
By the way, I just need to say that I can’t believe how a fairly nice (read decent) party would cost these days! Grabe! Sophia’s 1st birthday party sometime in 2006 is panis! Cost wise ha … Susme. Jon is close to having a heart attack with the expenses. Me too! And to think the money isn’t coming from my own pocket, haha!

wawa naman c mateo.. but that’s good at okay n sya. Hindi namin pinatuli pa c Gabe. Wait n lang namin na mag 9 or 10 sya. Kasi ayaw din ng pedia nya dahil prone n raw sa infection ung tuli sa age nya. Gus2 nya sana less than 4 weeks. Hope Sophia gets better soon..

Samantha is sick too. I am here working at home while taking care of the little girl. Since Monday, pabalik-balik fever nya. Her temp down now at 38.1, thinking of bringing her to hilot later. Malamig feet eh. Anyway, hope sophia ok na. Hirap pag may sakit kids.
Re: party, naku kaya ako puro simple parties na after Sam’s 1st bday. So far, successful naman ang aking mga cost-savings measures. Hehehe! Paano pa kaya pag 7 na sila? Mas lalo mahal na yun …
