December 2017

-

 At par with summer time, my other fave season is Christmas time, and this Christmas season is made more special because it is the first with our little miracle in it. 

December came in with Trystyn turning 5 months on the 1st.  He just got well from being sick and I couldn't wait for him to feel his best as we celebrate the whole month of the season!

The first of the many celebrations for December was my co-associate in the law firm, Jesa's wedding. It was the first time Trystyn attended a wedding. Thank God for gowns that are easy for me to breastfeed!


And Trystyn got to attend not just one but two weddings this month. He also got to attend Ninang Dyan's wedding to Tito Ej. I was the maid of honor  and I got to look pretty after the longest time. And since I had to pump while T was away, and breastfeed him once we got together, I had to have a gown made that would be breastfeeding friendly. I had my first menstruation since giving birth and it man it felt like a waterfalls! By the evening, my gown was drenched in blood ! 😫


Trystyn also had his first Christmas Party with the Baduel-Espina Law Office family! And I badly wished I could get the TV or the staycation raffle prize but naaa I never seem to be lucky in raffle draws. heheh


And finally our Christmas celebration with the papa in Marco Polo and with mama at home. We woke the lil dude up at midnight and he got to open some of his gifts. <3 Christmases would now be even more beautiful for me, my love, because of you. And I guess even more expensive 😅



Another party that the lil dude was supposed to attend to was the San Agustin heights Christmas Party but he fell asleep early. And since the momma had to eat, I asked Nico and Tet to watch over the sleeping dude and just a few minutes from the leaving the house, I got a call with a screaming baby at the background. Good thing I ate as fast as lightning, coz I had to rush back to the house coz the lil dude could not be consoled even with Ate Zoe and Ate Nana around. Hay, my super clingy baby! heheh. He knows night time is exclusively mom time (since mom is mostly out during the day). I made a funny and sad realization that day: I may never get to go out and party at night again! 😂🥲

Mommy of 3

I am a mommy of 3.... 2 are in heaven. 😭💔 Around the end of February, several pregancy tests showed faint lines telling me that at the age of 38, I was surprisingly pregnant! Truth be told, I was worried at first, as I thought that I was quite old to carry another child. But the fear quickly turned to excitement especially when Trystyn was so thrilled to have a baby "sister". He would kiss my tummy so many times and one time when I got home from work he ran up to meet me and asked me if Baby Sister was out already! He was that excited! 💟 I was so excited I could imagine having a gender reveal during Trystyn's birthday in July and a maternity shoot for our  yearly family picture!  But on February 27, I noticed a tinge of blood in my underwear. I hurriedly messaged my doctor who told me to go on bed rest. But the spotting turned to bleeding.. 😭 I was so scared to lose my baby that I think I cried secretly almost every day. At times I tell the people in the house of my w...

The Heartbreak of Ectopic Pregnancy

It has been almost 3 years. And after almost 3 years, I can finally say I am ok. But although the pain has subsided, reading what I wrote then still broke my heart and made me cry. :(    May 20. It was when I woke up at around 5am when i first felt the pain in the lower right part of my back. Thinking it was just nothing, Wati, who was also already awake, and I decided to roam around the streets of CDO to look for a place to eat that early in the morning. While walking, the pain began to run towards my lower right abdomen, but since the pain was tolerable I just brushed it off. It was when we got back to the hotel when the pain intensified. I didn't want to bother anybody else, and thinking that  it would just subside, I tolerated the pain and told Wati that I'll just have myself checked when we get back to Cebu in the afternoon. But when the pain was already too much, and the tears won't stop falling, we decided to go to the ER of the nearest hospital we c...

Thank You, Next! (contest piece)

    One taught me love One taught me patience And one taught me pain Now, I'm so amazing Thank you, next..   Friends, fellow Toastmasters, can you think of a time when life tried to beat you down? Did you stay down? Or did you learn from that challenge,  thanked it, and got ready for the next? Ariana Grande's  song “Thank You Next” reminds us to learn from challenges as they can transform us from downtrodden to amazing.      I remember my first rush of intense, heart throbbing love when I was a young girl of 17. I met this guy who made me buy 300 peso load daily so we can text till the wee hours of the morning! It was exciting, it was exhilarating, it was EXPENSIVE! Especially for a college girl who had a very limited budget. I painstakingly ate ngohiong everyday to save up for load, coz hey I’d rather get hungry than lose him. Coz I was giddy. I was in love. Until I saw him one day, with another girl, holding her hand. Friends, believe ...
