bath time
Posted on September 28, 2008 - Filed Under Mateo, Motherhood | 4 Comments
I’m lucky that Mateo has never been afraid of taking a bath. Ever since he was just months old, he wasn’t a crybaby whenever it’s time to take a bath. That’s why bath time is such a fun time for both of us. I use it as an opportunity to play some more with him. [...]

Just a few weeks ago, I made one of the biggest decision I’ve ever made as a mother. It was a decision that I’m sure many mothers out there had to make. It was a decision that made my heart break into a million pieces. Looking back, it was a decision that was necessary and [...]

We’re now entering the second week of school and already, we missed a day because of typhoon Frank. I would have expected myself to be ecstatic about it. Even though I was grateful for the extra day that Ramil and I get to stay home and spend more time with Mateo, I was surprisingly a [...]

Not for me and Ramil! A friend of mine recently announced that she’s pregnant again. Although it made me reflect on when we’re planning to have another one too, it’s just not for us right now. I’m excited for my friend though. Other friends are planning a baby shower for her and I might be [...]

A year and five months after giving birth and I’m still not so happy with my figure. Well, of course it’s difficult when I wasn’t that happy with it even before I gave birth. Haha! I don’t want to lose weight, I think I’m still pretty slim with 115 lbs. at 5′4″. Back when I [...]

I haven’t updated my blog in quite awhile. Blame it on my decision to go back to teaching full-time! Hehe! I’ve been so busy the past week trying to prepare for the opening of classes tomorrow. Mateo has had two yayas in a span of a week. Ramil and I have resorted to getting one [...]

When I was still pregnant with Mateo, I was sure I wanted to be the one to take care of him. I left the decision of resigning up in the air and thought of not making a decision until things settle down and everything is clearer. I gave birth on a January, which actually leaves [...]

Once again, Mateo’s yaya went home. This time though, she told us way ahead of time that she wants to visit her mom in the province. Initially, she told me she’ll be back after two weeks but after several days, she told me that she’s not sure if she’ll be coming back. It would have [...]

At 14 months, Mateo still feeds from my breasts. Although he also takes in formula milk whenever I’m not home, I can say that for the past 14 months, he gets his milk from me 70% of the time. Until a few weeks ago, a 900-gram can of formula milk would last for more than [...]

Mateo has been very clingy these past few days. Ever since we came back from Bora, he has been like my shadow or an extra appendage. I’m guessing it’s because for four days, we were together for 24 hours. I’m finding it difficult to do simple things like going to the bathroom. He doesn’t want [...]
