Sunday is coming so soon!

Baby B watching t.v. with daddy.

“Any man can be a father, but it takes a special person to be a dad” - Proverb

 

I have become so intrigued with these two. They are the definition of love and happiness for me, you can say and I just get so giddy!

 

I am so lucky and blessed to have such an amazing man to be so into his son. Baby B is so loved by mommy and daddy. I cannot stress enough the life that I want for my son to J because growing up, my siblings and I came from a very loving and caring family. I want that. I yearn so bad for that for him.

 

It will happen.

 

 

 

 

Alright! In the pinoy culture, we call our grandparents "lola" & "lolo". So guess who's coming into town to stay for a couple weeks or so?! Lola! I haven't seen my mother since last year for my birthday and sister's graduation party so it's going to be nice for her to help me spoil this little guy of mine. What I'm really excited about is her cooking for J and me! I haven't had her food in years! (last year didn't count because we mainly had a crawfishboil!) J is excited too because he is so into food. Good thing we have an oriental store not too far from here. Next weekend, my sister will be flying in from out of town as well and so I'm very excited for her coming too. :) I already know I'll be taking tons and tons of pictures. We don't get to see each other very much since we all live in different states. I wish that my dad and brother were able to come down and visit our little family, but work calls for them. Boo! The good news is that we are going to PA to visit them this coming up spring!

 

 

 

 

 



Knock, Knock. Special Delivery!

Guess what?! Baby B is here! He decided to say hello to the world a month early. It's been a week and a half now since I have been able to get on here. Little update:

I was obsessed with reading into the symptoms of preterm/fullterm labor the week that the OB announced that I was 3cm dialated. "Your water can break anytime, soon." The look on mine and J's face? Total shock. I was tremendously freaking out in my mind because our son might not come the day that we are to expect him! The nursery wasn't even remotely done! It still isn't! We just got our crib the other day! Oh my goodness.

 It's been quite the ride this past week and a half. There's defintitely some adjustments to my home life now. It really hasn't struck me yet that I am a mother, but it will. We are actually lucky to have a little one who can sleep through literally any noise possible. The dogs have a tendency to bark  towards any living thing outside of the window. It's annoying, but once I yell at them, they stop. Even my yells don't wake Baby B up. Whoah! He is so chill.

So now that I have a baby in the house, it's making my life more  interesting. I have yet to emotionally break down when it comes to him. The only time that I have been so overwhelmed was just coming home from the hospital and having to deal with the pain. Throughout the four days that I have stayed in the hospital, nurses were constantly coming in and out to give meds and checking up on me, but once I got home, I was on my own. I detest taking medication. I could not move, I could not eat, and definitely couldn't sneeze, cough, or laugh because it would hurt so bad.

Baby B is fantastic! Daddy is so caring and loving towards him which makes me one happy mommy!

Procrastinating Momma-to-be.

This, to be honest, is probably the tenth or so blog that I have started. I have the habbit of starting one, running it for about a month or so, and some major event happens in my life that I don't have time to keep going.And so I like to delete... a lot.

The funny thing is, I am going through a major event right now. I am 36 weeks pregnant with my first child and oh my goodness am I terrified (The actual birthing process)!! Many women look forward to their pregnancy, but I felt the opposite in the beginning. However, now I've accepted it to the fullest. I'm very excited to meet baby who will be coming anytime soon. Literally!
My lovey and I have been working on the nursery for almost 3 weeks now, but it is nowhere near done. He works full-time with very long hours and I'm home all the time having to deal with two dogs, one constantly needing attention and my health not being up to par. I have been sickly throughout this 9 month journey. Thanks, baby, thanks. The Texas heat doesn't help at all as well. I'm constantly running the AC, which I feel bad now because our power bill is high! Oops! So now, I'm constantly wearing a bandeu and underwear with a fan blowing in my direction for comfortability. I'm actually not complaining about it being hot anymore. Yeah!

Everyone knows that babies are super expensive. When I looked at nursery rooms from pinterest in the past, I would think to myself, "Gosh, this is so beautiful, but I bet this is expensive." It is. No doubt. Lovey and I went around town to search for good, used furniture so we can tackle on some DIY projects. We window shopped first so we can compare prices and whatnot. We found a dresser for $45 and a rocker for $20. Score! The only brand new furniture that we will be purchasing is a crib which we don't mind paying the extra dollars for since it's all about safety for baby, right? Until the nursery is done, I will definitely post some pictures up.

My next thing on the to do list is to pack my hospital bag. If my sister were here, she would get onto me for it!
