Today marks my 38th week of pregnancy. Despite my eagerness to give birth since last week, my doctor actually prefers that I give birth starting 38 weeks onwards. So I guess between the two of us, she wins
Now that I’ve hit the 38th, I’ve been given the go signal to walk a lot [...]

In May last year, we sold our beloved red car. For many months, we were carless. We took the tricycle every morning and Ramil sometimes rode his bike to school. It was difficult at times but we also enjoyed many perks of being commuters: no parking, no maintenance costs, no driving, no gas.

It has been more than a month now since we’ve left our rented house in Antipolo and one of the things that we miss the most is being on our own. When Ramil and I got married almost five years ago, we immediately lived on our own. We looked for a place we could rent, [...]

After all my rants on the school where we enrolled Mateo, I never thought he would enjoy school AND doing homework after only a month. Right now he almost never complains anymore in the morning whenever we answer ‘yes’ to his question of ‘is there school?’ He even tells us that he’s sad whenever there [...]

I’m still here and I’m still very much pregnant. The most I’ve had so far are false labor contractions. Although I’ve been having more of them, my doctor prefers that I deliver at 38 weeks at the earliest. I’m at 37 weeks now so I just have a week to go before I can start [...]

The past few days, my mind has been filled with thoughts of our angel baby Vivienne. That was the second name we have picked while I was pregnant with her, without even knowing for sure whether she’s a girl or a boy. But during those three months, I was convinced she was a girl and [...]

I have just finished packing my hospital bag yesterday. Ramil has been bugging me for several days now that I should have a bag ready already especially since there’s a possibility that I could give birth already.
The only thing we’re lacking right now are a few papers from school as proof of his PhilHealth contributions. [...]

Right now, I’m just a few pounds away from 150 so I’m not exactly talking about weight here Those numbers could keep me up all night. However, it does reassure me whenever I think that I am almost 150 pounds with almost 30 pounds of pregnancy weight. I only hope I get to [...]

In three months, I will be turning 29. Ramil will be turning 30 in less than a year. Time seems to be going so fast and hitting the big 3-0 is just around the corner. Sometimes I’d feel overwhelmed with how we are doing at this point in our life. Of course, things are a [...]
