A week that was

I'm super panda-eyed. I have had these since time immemorial but now they are vivider (if there is a word as such ;p). 7 days of sleepless nights, caring for & nurturing our little one, seem 7 years. *just kidding* Again, it's all worth it esp when you captivate what appears to be facial expressions but reflex actually.

As of the moment, I consider myself a useless cow. I have the least amount of milk for Kimi. Sometimes I feel frustrated for a few mums possess sprinkler-like bumpers, unlike me*sigh* Here, size does NOT matter. I'm just happy for Hubi's encouragement. Patience, Eileen, Patience. The key is to let the baby suck & suck until you die =) or else you'll end up having high fever & worst abscess.

It's been a week and I/we really can't get enough of the baby. I never felt this satiated before. If only I can cease his biological clock and let him be like that 4ever & ever, I would.

Innocence.....*sigh*

At first...At last...

Thank the heavens, Kimi's out. I thought it was a simple *pff* but I was wrong. It may have been a C-Section but it was reaaaaaaaaally reaaaaaaaally tough. A modified Caesarian delivery. I dont want to elaborate. Definitely, it was all worth it. However, I don't know if I wanna go through it again =)

We just hope choosing 07-07-07 would be a lucky one for us.

Ay, yah...Feng Shui Feng Shui not! =)

Actually, the only main reason why we chose the day is: the ease of remembering birthdates especially if you have a dozen of suckling pigs. *grin*

Born on the 4th of July..NOT!

It would've been better if I chose to give birth today. It's Fil-Am Friendship Day, ayt? A few people are pushing us to have the OR done on this special day, however, to no avail. *wink*
Our little one seems to cooperate well.

Labor hasn't started yet...oops....not yet please!!! *knock on wood*

3 days more Kimi. Kita-kits!! =)

Speedy Gonzales

Yipee!!!

Looks like Hubi & I will be having more kbps to update this space. Go the smart way!!! yoohoo!!! We're indeed thankful for being blessed esp when you're in the "jungle" village. *wink*

Everything's the same. No exciting news as of the moment.
...the agony of waiting *sigh*

11 days to go...plus/minus. Please hang in there!! =)

Lulubog..Lilitaw

In 2-3 wks time, Kimi will be out. I don't know if I will be scared....or more scared. =) The contractions are getting more pronounced. Not constant yet 'though.

I am not sure whether he can wait til the 7th of July.

Hopefully... *crossed fingers*

P.S.: I have the least resources to update this space..so sorry. But I will try as often as I could. Perhaps, when the baby is sober *wink*

I'm nestling..

I've been mute for a while trying to organize things with Hubi for our little one. YES...I'm back in my hometown for good. The adjustment period isn't over yet. As if my fingers haven't stopped craving for abnormal karyotypes. Ooops!! *knock on wood*

I have definitely gained WEIGHT this time. Voracious is my name, Plate licking is my game! Not to mention more swollen extremities....eeeeew! =)

A month to go & I'm having mixed emotions. I'm not scared....errr...a bit? Or I'm just thinking too much. Anyways, we just hope, Kimi's (yes, we have a name!!) birthday falls on the 7th of July. Easier to remember: 07-07-07. An auspicious date too for the almond eyes!!!!

CS here I come!!

Hubi...S.O.S.! *wink*

So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye..

"..I hate to go and leave this pretty sight

So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, adieu

Adieu, adieu, to yieu and yieu and yieu

So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye

I leave and heave a sigh and say goodbye -- Goodbye!

I'm glad to go, I cannot tell a lie

I flit, I float, I fleetly flee, I fly

The sun has gone to bed and so must I.."

I got 33 days more to spend in Merli's playground. Definitely, this "great move" is one helluvah decision to make. Of course, the toughest one was last year when I decided to displace my surname. *wink*

Hubi has never interfered; he's allowed me to stir the wheel by myself while supporting me all the way. Maybe because he knows I'm stubborn OR he wants me to learn by my "mistakes" and under such circumstances, there would be no need to remind me anymore. ;p

I've been having a hard time letting go of this shelter, i.e., for good. Mainly because it's one safe place for someone independent as me. My loved ones need not worry about my safety 'coz it's damn safe in here. That's it.

I guess, I've come to the point in my life where I have to set aside Me, Myself & I for once. I never imagined I would have to wave the white flag this soon. Well, it's, indeed, different now for Bunny has come to our life. Bunny & Hubi are more important now than Eileen & her selfish desires.

The Merlion is just 3.5 hrs away anyway. We can pay him a visit anytime and this time around it wouldn't be 1 or 2, but 3 of us. The more, the merrier.

Thanks Lee KY for the memories.. *sob*

...OH! ....and for the blue I.C.! I shall be back!!! =)

Cutie, cute cute!

Just sharing a very popular YouTube video which earned 3,442,833 views and still counting

Indeed, nature's beauty..

As YahooAnswers explains it:

"Most animals don't hold or shake paws normally, but sea otters do (as is shown in the clip).
It's not really a display of personal affection, more of a social connection kind of thing.
Since sea otters sleep at sea, floating around like in the video, holding hands like that keeps the group together, so they don't drift apart in the night. Because of this, the otters feel more comfortable holding hands while asleep than drifting alone. So it serves both social and practical purpose."

Alleluia!!

Perhaps, Bunny is also rejoicing inside my tummy as exemplified by his erratic, yet, rhythmic kicks. Besides, it's his day *wink* plus the colored eggs and hunting them thereafter. Let us all be happy!!! A new life...a new beginning!!! *yipee*

HAPPY EASTER!!!

With God by Your Side, You Never Have to Be Alone

Just wanted to share a nice poem with you all. Have a blessed Holy Week everyone..

Sometimes life sends us

changes we've never contemplated,

problems we'd just as soon do without,

and inconveniences that we'd rather not

have to deal with.

It can feel as if we are wandering

in a barren desert.

It's during these "desert" experiences

of our lives

that God, in all His faithfulness,

opens up His heart.

He quenches our thirsty souls,

revives our parched hearts,

and leads us to a higher place

where peace and joy and love

will be ours forever.

On all the long journeys

your life leads you on,

please remember...

you'll never walk alone.

~Linda E. Knight
