a Valentine scare and an ER incident

Posted on February 15, 2007 - Filed Under Mateo, Motherhood | Leave a Comment

Before anything, (belated) Happy Valentine’s to everyone!
And our Mateo turns 1 month today!!!

Ramil and I are in a scare right now. We spent Valentine’s lounging around the house (he was not able to go to work/school). We were never really that observant with regards to valentine’s so just spending time at home was perfect for [...]

big hand, small hand

Mateo’s hand dexterity has been improving a lot these past few days. What used to be clenched fists are now frisky fingers wanting to touch anything. I would play with his hands and fingers at every possible chance to further help their development. We would sometimes catch him trying to hold his bottle in some [...]

Ike Lozada ikaw ba yan?
I am strongly tempted to put Mateo on a diet, LOL. We visit my family every weekend and everytime they see Mateo we hear exclamations of surprise (grabe, lalong tumaba!). I feel insecure now for him, hehe! My baby is not fat, he’s cute
And yes, Ramil has strongly opposed [...]

breastfeeding update

I haven't been successful in weaning Mateo from the bottle and being able to breastfeed him 100%. Though he is taking in a lot of breastmilk. We have a lazy suckler on our hands and he just gets so frustrated whenever he feeds from me and he is very hungry. Although my milk supply is [...]

a family picture

We were playing around with Mateo and the camera last weekend when I suddenly realized that we haven’t taken any picture of the three of us. This was taken just before we went to bed (while trying to coax Mateo into sleeping also) and this is the best we could come up with. Hehe! Mateo [...]

traveling baby

Mateo is one well-traveled baby. It sucks that the red car’s AC decided to conk on us again. Our baby has been such a sport even though the air coming out of the AC could very well have been me blowing in his face. Every weekend since we went back home here in Taytay were [...]

Somebody should have told me I would not be able to sleep for more than two hours straight after bringing Mateo home. The last time that I was able to sleep until I woke up voluntarily was in the hospital. Nowadays, I find myself waking up even though I don’t want to, hehe. Ramil and [...]

Mateo updates

I am inspired by Ann’s frequent Dwyn updates. It’s so true that babies grow up so fast. Ramil and I are very eager for Mateo to grow up but we also realize that each moment with him is so fleeting, the next thing we know our baby won’t let us kiss him anymore. As early [...]

This is the vicious cycle that we are trapped in. So far, I haven't been successful in giving Mateo 100% breastmilk. The whole thing is getting too frustrating! I find myself nursing him at times then giving him formula when he gets frustrated also because of the low milk supply/slow milk flow. I am back [...]

reminders for myself

Posted on February 5, 2007 - Filed Under Marriage, Motherhood | 3 Comments

I’ve been feeling down lately. Blame it on all the changes happening around us. I feel like I need a break. I know the break is not going to come so the best option would be to remind myself of some things that might have been lost on me amidst all the nitty-gritty of baby [...]
