…with my hair. I haven’t had a change of hairstyle since, um, 3 year ago (I think). Wow, this is really long for me. I used to change hairstyles as much as thrice in a year. I plan to do something about it especially now when I can’t even comb my hair because I’m holding [...]

It feels better to be educated on health matters. Since our baby will be undergoing a test this Saturday, I’ve decided to look up on the procedure to help ease my mind.
A VCUG or Voiding Cystourethrogram is an x-ray exam that allows doctors to visualize a child’s bladder and ability to empty his/her bladder. [...]

It’s been almost 2 days since I wrote anything here. Not usual for me considering all the paid posts I’ve been doing. No dollars earned for almost 2 days also, LOL! Concerns about Mateo’s health has kept me from our laptop since my last post. It looks like we’re going to need a lot of [...]

Mateo had fever again last night We gave him Tempra and fortunately, this slowly brought his temperature down. No more fever since then. My mama expressed concern that Mateo might have ‘pilay’ since he gets the fever only at night. She told me to bring Mateo to a ‘hilot’. Ramil’s mama on the otherhand, [...]

Just a month after giving birth, an opportunity to go back to the corporate world has just presented itself to me. Surprisingly, I found myself thinking about it. Not really seriously thinking about it but it’s been playing in my mind lately.
I have long decided that I would temporarily stop working once I gave birth. [...]
baby’s development at 4 weeks

As Mateo just turned a month old, I want to take note of his development so far. The following is taken from BabyCenter’s article on a 4-week-old’s development:
PlaytimePlaying with your newborn is a perfect way to gently guide him into his new — and unfamiliar — world. Mobiles with high-contrast patterns and books with photos [...]

These were taken when Mateo was just 2 weeks old. While looking through his pictures, I noticed how quickly a baby’s face can change. Now that his face is so fat, it’s harder to determine where he got his features.

Aside from the fact that Mateo has been fighting a bad cold/cough (he’s doing a good job, I might add), he seems to be suffering from usog. Now I can just imagine some raised eyebrows while reading this. I myself was not a believer of usog until Ramil and I got together. That’s when I [...]

…is me.
It seems that Mateo’s fever is caused by a viral infection, he now appears to cough from time to time. I’ve been fighting off a cough since before I gave birth. I’ve been successful in removing it from my system though it has recurred these past week. Unfortunately, Mateo might have gotten it from [...]

feverish?
These were taken yesterday, right before we found out that Mateo’s temperature was 38.6. We wouldn’t have guessed that he was nursing a fever already. Notice the ‘muscles’. During our ER trip, we also got to know his weight, a whopping 4.9 kg! Wootwoot! His weight when he was just 11 days old was 3.6 [...]
