Hello People!

We just came back from our four day Hong Kong Trip and what can I say? Tiring but super fun as always. My little girl had the time of her life in Disneyland too. Its her third time to go to this particular theme park but its this time that she enjoyed her visit the most. Being 3yo already, she really enjoyed the park and even wants to go back again. Too bad I’m five months pregnant as you all know so even if I want to, I can’t.

I hope plans push through though for next year once I give birth. You see, since my sister in law is based in the US now, we have plans of visiting her and we’ll then take the kids to Disney World in Orlando. I bet it would be so much fun! This park is way better for sure and I’ve heard that it is big and you need a couple of days to be able to go around so my sister in law suggested that if we push through with the plan, we can settle with vacation rentals while in Florida. According to her, Florida vacation rentals will be way cheaper and more convenient for us since we plan to stay longer and we have two kids in tow. She even told me all about vacationsbyowner.com where we can get affordable Orlando vacations rentals directly through the property owner which will save us on cost as there’ll be no commissions or whatsoever. Now, this got me all excited. I hope everything goes well and our plans push through. It will surely be fun, its going to be my family’s first US trip if ever.

Okay, okay, everybody is wondering how I look like now … here I am with my new hairdo. Pic taken this morning at Las Paellas Cafe.

This is for you JEN!!!

To Mich who wants to see how big my tummy is, I’ll post another photo for you soon.

Anyway, here are some more photos last Sunday at where else, Antonio’s again!

Can you see my husband? I just need to brag that he lost around 18 pounds now all on his own without even having to take the best pill they call Ephedrasil Hardcore.

On to my 5th month of pregnancy, my OB is encouraging me to get myself enrolled with prenatal yoga classes, something that is quite popular now with pregnant women like me. According to her, three of her patients are currently into it and they have got nothing but good words to say about it. My OB specifically told me too that aside from the many physical benefits prenatal yoga brings, it also helps women through the evolutionary process of pregnancy by connecting with other pregnant women, allowing the opportunity for inward reflection, providing a healthy physical and emotional outlet for one’s experiences, and ultimately preparing one for birth on a holistic level.

Now, wouldn’t you get convinced?

I am sold on the idea so I am now looking for a yoga mat online. There are a lot of different yoga mats available but since I am pregnant, I might settle with Fitness & Yoga Mats Ribbed Comfort Mat for comfort. I also need to get a yoga mat bag of course. I was surprised that they come in plenty of colors and different styles. Love it! I am so excited. I sure hope to see the benefits everybody is talking about myself. If you know me, I am not really into exercising but I am willing to give prenatal yoga a try. We’ll see and I’ll let you know.

I can’t get enough of shopping for our coming baby. You see, since I am having a boy, I am inclined to buy new baby products again even if this is my second pregnancy already as most of Sophia’s stuff are colored pink or has girly themes.

Right now, I am looking at crib linens. Good thing Sophia’s wooden crib is white so I don’t need to get a new one, just a couple of crib fitted sheets and crib bumpers for protection.

I am also thinking of getting a new stroller, a travel system specifically. I hope I can make the husband agree on which one I like even if the price is quite steep. After all, a good stroller and a carseat is a necessity nowadays. What do you think?

Lastly, I am searching for the perfect baby bag to lug around with our baby boy’s stuff. The bag must be roomy and very functional and can be lugged around by either me or hubby.  I noticed that diaper bags have evolved (style-wise) tremendously these days compared to some three years ago when I had my eldest.

There you go, my online shopping list for the moment.  My day will be pretty occupied surfing I’m sure.

Thank you friends for the comments on my jackpot post.  We really are in cloud nine. Jon is probably the happiest dad on earth right now, HAHA.  You all know how we wanted to have a boy, right?  And thank you to the Big Man up there who heard our fervent wish.  We really can’t ask for anything more.  To say that we are so blessed is an undertatement.  So, all I can say now really is just THANK YOU.

As all of you have said, quota na kami. Yes, I believe so.  Well, atleast that’s what we think right now.  I wonder if it’ll change in a few years or so but so far, having two – a girl and a boy, is already enough for us.  We have big plans you see so Jon believes we can only sustain two (or three the most) with the lifestyle and plans we have for our kids. 

During my ultrasound, funny how my OB Sonologist commented that all the while she thought I was so prim and proper but when she finally wrote the word BOY on the screen, I screamed like a little girl.  I just couldn’t help it as I was preparing myself for another baby girl because most people I know commented that I looked like I was having another Sophia.  But were they so wrong! LOL. Jen are you hearing me?!?! LOL!

Jon had the biggest smile too, I swear. He kept calling everybody after. He even is treating friends to a buffet dinner at Circles in Makati Shang and his farm employees had the whole night drinking, partying and merrying, LOL! Super happy obviously. As for me, I think I still am in denial. I still can’t believe it. I so wanted to have a boy really para we are done and yun nga ang binigay. Hay, as I said in my other post, happy happy joy joy talaga.

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!
