Jana's First Dental Checkup

Aug 13, 2012 (with Doc Jhona)

I'm proud of you Ate Jana! 3 teeth fillings agad. Yakang-yaka!

oopsie!

napakarami ko nang utang sa blog na ito gawa ng dalawang chikiting na ito... I am about to go back to work in a week's time (after 3months of staying at home). I will definitely miss our bonding moments from sunset to sundown mga anak. But mommy's literally working on it...

Tisha's Birth

05.25.2012

3am :i told en im probably giving birth. the only problem was that the contractions were not consistent. itutulog ko na lang muna.

8am: ano na? punta na tayo sa doctor.... hmm 10am pa sked nya sa Olivarez hosp. pasok na lang muna ako sa office (bsp) para mataps ko yung mga reports ko at mai-turnover ko. thanks mami, dadi, jasper sa paghatid :) si en uber late na, hinatid pa kasi si jana sa sampaloc.

9am-6pm: i feel better as soon as i started working. sabi na nga ba, false contractions lang. i waited for my mag-ama at mcdo harrison.

8pm: i started feeling a bit uneasy. i lay on the bed, feeling sick

10pm: Jana sana matulog ka na anak. i really think Dadi and I are going to the hospital.

11pm: knockout ang Jana. im still unsure. itutulog ko na lang muna...

05.26.2012

1am: Dadi En, gising ka muna. masakit na talaga huhu. tawag muna sa thomas. mami, pahiram si mariz for Jana.

2am: we arrived at the hospital.

2:30am: i was admitted at the labor room. 4-5cm na daw.

3:30am: 5cm

3:45am: dr orhel, the anaesthesiologist, arrived. epidural naaaaa.

4:30am: 7cm. pinag-oxygen ako. para daw sa baby. later i found out na bumababa pala ang heart rate ni Tisha every contraction (nagiging 70 na lang). pero cool naman yung attending OB and yung mga nurse so hindi ko nahalata na me problem pala.

5:30am: my ob arrived. 9cm pa lang pero "table" na daw.

6:00am: iri na daaaaaaw. sus. wala na ako maramdaman. Dr Orhel was helping me push. Pati yung head nurse. Kung ano ano na ginagawa sakin dahil di nagkocontract yung tyan. Ayoko na balikan yung pangyayare sa "table" basta!

6:50am: i saw tisha. yehey. 

8:30am: asan ako? huh. ay recovery room na pala ito. sabi ko sa nurse, i wanna see my baby. dinala naman si tisha and she latched :) good girl.

9:30am: sabi minimum of 2 hrs daw dapat magstay sa recovery room. so pwede na ako umakyat sa room? wala pa daw yung magsasign ng form. lekat naman. nagugutom na ako

11am: ano baaaaa?! naglalaway na ako sa blackforest cake na pinaorder ko ke En! di pa den ako makaakyat. this time, wala daw magtutulak sakin (sus maglalakad na lang kako ako!)

At nakaakyat na rin sa wakas. My immediate family was there (mami dadi chichay kuya bilog and syempre si ensot). sabi nanay ko matulog daw muna ako eh pero kakapanood nila ng Eat Bulaga at sa lakas ng tawa nila, di din ako makatulog.

around 4pm, i went down to NICU to see Tisha.

 

* so, you're the one kicking me all these time? *

 

she's mine :)

 

* Tisha is 2.7kg at birth *

calm before the storm

i thought tisha's going out today. i've been up since 3am, feeling if the contractions are for real. we decided to go to the office instead and wait if the pain gets worst. himala naman, i felt better as soon as i sat in front of my computer. boss even tasked me to find a fedex and send Perth some docs. admin again.

i cant decide if i should really wish for tisha to come out na. its becoming really, really uncomfortable having a big bump. but i am fully aware that once she's out, it's no rest for me again. swerte na ang 4hours sleep a day. im gonna say bye bye to the (little) time i earned since jana turned 3.

bakit ko kasi kinakarir ang pagiging nanay?!

Conversations with Jana

Scene 1 

Mommy: Anak ano gusto mo name for Elmo? Tisha Adrienne, Tisha Naya, Tisha Annika?

Jana: Tisha....(nahihirapan ata magbigkas ng 2nd name)....hmm... ELMO Tisha!!!

Daddy: (pabulong) Sapak tayo ke Elmo nyan paglaki. 

Scene 2 

Mommy: Jana, you take care of baby Elmo ha. What will you do if she cries?

Jana: Give milk.

Mommy: What if cry pa den?

Jana: Change pampam! (diaper)

Mommy: Eh what if cry pa den??

Jana: Hmm, Elmo go to sleep. 

Hahaha. well-trained agad.

2012: Mother's Day

 Bouquet of White Roses and a Single Rose from En.

Kaya pala umalis ang kotse bago mag-6am (kala ko mamamalengke).

Di ko maalis-alis sa crib kasi sabi ni Jana, sa toys daw nya yang mga flowers na yan.

Sige na nga... 

Lunch @ Rooftop.

Sabi ng nanay ko, mag-picture daw dahil kumpleto kami.

Sagot ko naman "Ammm mami, me isa kang anak sa amerika, pano tayo nakumpleto nun?" hehe

Dinner @ Yakimix Greenbelt.

Naka 3 reservations kami (2:30, 5:30, 7:00) bago nakakain.

Namamalengke kasi sa Landmark kaya di namin naaabutan pag tinatawag kami.

Sa sobrang gutom ni Jana, binilhan na lang ng Jollibee Chickenjoy.

Ayus lang paghintay ng 40 minutes.

Bawi naman sa dami ng nakain kong Crabstick, Black Pepper Beef, and California Maki.

Yup. Yung 3 lang na yun ang pinanggigilan ko.

ps: Thanks Dadi En and Ate Jana for making this the best Mother's Day so far...

Tisha: 36th week

May 13 was Mother's Day.

En and Pompy were kind enough to accompany me to Landmark and do some more shopping for Tisha before we headed for dinner (Yakimix Gbelt). Sooo cool na sila yung pumipili ng color/style/design.

We're so ready for you Tisha ;)

ps: Bricanyl is no longer an option. Sabi ng OB, di na pipigilan ang pag contract. 

air revita-what?!

the air revitalisor i bought from cashcashpinoy last april 17 finally arrived.

Price: 1299 pesos with 1x 15ml essential oil

verdict: Jana loves it so much she just keeps on watching the globe especially at night. It has blue led light.

here she is, sleeping for almost 2.5hrs after we added a few drops of lavander oil to the water. Puyatan na naman eto mamayang gabi. Gising na anak!

Tisha: 32nd Week

Mukang idol ni Tisha si Ate Jana.

We're currently admitted in Pque Doctor's Hospital due to premature labor. I was given Bricanyl and Steroids via injections. Blood was extracted for CBC procedure, and my long-time bestfriend: Dextrose!

We have to stay for a minimun of 24 hrs, and if everything goes right, i think i may continue my bedrest at home. Sana payagan to work from home till maka 38wks man lang.

Hold on little Tisha. Be strong like Ate Jana. We're excited to see you, but we can wait for few more weeks :-)

Tisha: 29th Week

Yahoo! I passed my OGCT test. That means wala akong gestational diabetes (hopefully hanggang manganak). That is despite the fact na puro merengge, cake, at chocolates ang nginangatngat ko lately. 

Pompy is talking to Tisha more frequently. Her lines are 

"Elmo, we will buy you a bed ok? At SM. Red bed." 

"It's eating time, Elmo. Eat mangga." 

"Elmo are you ok?" 

"Are you jumping inside?" 

And she will always hush me and Dadi saying Elmo is already sleeping... (so no ingay!!!) 

I find it sweet that even though she hasn't seen Tisha yet, she recognizes that there is a baby in my tummy and that she is not a threat. Instead she takes care of her and acts as a real big sister. Sana lang wag magbago pag lumabas na si Tisha :)

BOOK SALE talaga Part 2

Five Little Monkeys (170 pesos), Twinkle Toes (40 pesos)

Where is Maisy? (65 pesos), Where is Maisy's Panda? (65 pesos)

Sisters Are For Making Sand Castles (65 pesos), Yummy Yucky (40 pesos)

Jana's mini-library is growing. I can't help it. Everytime we're at MOA, i definitely pass by Book Sale. Most of these hardbound books are brand new (they are lift-the-flop types and the flops are still intact). I'm definitely recommending Book Sale to moms out there ;) instead of heading directly to National Bookstore.

Let's take a break

it's a toxic week for mommy at work.

hi there, baby Tisha!

i really, really can't wait to hug you anak!

Tisha's Stuff

3 more months but we're ready for you baby Tisha! We can't wait to see you. 

Here are your onesies and socks...

Just like Ate Jana's diapers. We ordered 8 packs agad. I got so excited hehe, good for 2 months na ito anak. 

An attempt on a 1x1 picture

"Anak, smile ka ha. Para sa school mo 'to...one two three!"

"Amm wag ganyan. Smile lang baby, wag nanggigigil..."

 

"Ang kuleeet!!! Anak naman, napapagod na 'ko..." 

 

"O wag na mag-cry, bibigyan kita ng candy mamaya...."

"Perfect!"

(sa wakaaaaaas!)

Jana on Disney's Aladdin

Jana was watching Aladdin.

During the kissing scene, she gasped "Ewwww!"

Hehe. Bata ko talaga oo!

She loves me.

I am honestly speechless whenever Jana would come near me and ask

"Mommy?"

"Yes, baby?"

"Are you ok? / Are you happy? / Are you tired?"

I didn't think that a 3 yr old (who cannot speak fluently yet), can convey her message that she cares.

Aww. Mommy moments. I'm so touched.

Elmo: 17th week

Hi baby girl. We'll see you soon. Stay healthy ok? We can't wait to take care of you. I'll buy some of your stuff this coming Saturday :)

ps: Ate Pompy always says "Elmo, are you ok?" She makes me smile when she does that.

Usapang Pang-bata

"Grabe anak, big ka na talaga!"

"No mommy, small Nyanya!"

"Do you want to grow big?"

"No, small."

"Ok, pramis di ka mag-grow big ha? Small ka lang."

"Otaaay."

"Pramis?"

"Pwami."

"Pag nag grow big ka, kikiss mo si Mommy ng 15 times, ok?"

"Otaaay."

Merry Christmas, Jana!

My tutu girl loves playing with her first RC gadget (Buzz Lightyear). Merry Christmas Sweetheart!We know you love it :)

What's wrong Jana?

We were watching our Wedding video last night when Jana cried incessantly.

She kept saying "Mama..... Daddy.... Mama... Daddy...."

So what's wrong baby? Why are you crying?

She finally said, "No Jana" :(

Aww.

Stop muna video. Tsaka na lang pag di na sya naiiyak.

ps: si Kuya Justine umiiyak din lagi pag pinapanood video namin. Ano ba 'tong mga batang 'to?!

Usapang Matanda

En was cleverly trying to pick out a boy's name.

"Engilbert Junior na lang kaya??"

and the tiny girl (who we thought doesn't have a clue of what we're talking about, and wasn't suppose to be listening because she's uber busy with her Tab) butted in "Ngiiiiiiiiiiiii!".

I laughed. "Ayaw mo ng Engilbert Jr anak?"

"Nooo, El-MO!.... ELMO!!!"

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the reason why you won't leave the name-picking to dads and older siblings.

Finally trained

Now when I tell Jana "I love you, baby"

she replies "Lab yu Mom" (o di ba sosyal, nagiging "mom" ako bigla).

And several times a day, she kisses me all over the face while enumerating: "eye.... 2 eye (second eye daw), nowwh (nose), maw (mouth), head, hair, neck, ear, 2 ear (2nd ear)"


(bayad na bayad na talaga hehe. me sukli pa.)

She knows my name

We were teaching Jana how to say our names.

Me : Jana! Jana! say "Dadi..... EN".
Jana : Dadiiiii.... N!
Me : Very good... how about "Mama...." (before finishing my sentence)
Jana : Mamaaaa.... O!

nye! oo nga naman.

(ngayon pag magkagalit silang mag-ama... tatawagin nya ng "ENNNNN!" hehehe sutil ka talaga anak.)

Jana: the 36th month

• 15.1 kg and 3 feet 3 inches tall
• di na masyadong iyakin pag naiiwan sa umaga
• loves playing 25 and 50 pc-puzzle
• araw araw halos naka-Tutu
• loves Minnie Mouse
• is currently hooked on Dadi's Galaxy Tab playing Zoodles
• marunong na magsumbong (so beware)
• di pwede sa kanya ang broken family. pag me nakikitang 3 items, ia-assume nya agad na Mama Daddy and Baby yun (depende sa size ng kung ano man yung nakita nya)
• Nagpapahanap ng Daddy Minne (dahil me Mommy Minnie at Baby Minnie na sya from Timezone). Ano naman kaya itsura ng Daddy Minnie anak kung hindi si Mickey yun?!
• Sobra makapaglambing pag dumadating kami
  

(tulog muna ako, isip pa ako ng iba pang milestones ni Kulot)

Pompy's Flavor of the Month

ayaw ng mickey. kelangan minnie talaga.



goodie bag na dala-dala kahit nasaan. mapa-sm man o simbahan.



katabi matulog. napanalunan ni Dadi En sa Timezone.

Jana her 1st Tutu

With Tita Lea as her inspiration, mama bought me my first tutu.



Ganito magsuot ng TUTU, Kanan muna. Tas kaliwa.



Itaas ang harapan.... igghhh, itaas pa lalo



Aooooo.



Oops. Mama said 'cheese' pala.



Kulambo para sa dolls. Just like our kulambo in the bedroom.



Ganito mag-color (este scribble). Walang pakialamanan. Scribble nga e.



Time out! kain muna daw...



Kamukha ko si mama dito (feeling daw nya).

ps: Thank Tita Rea for sending me these lovely tutus!

Oh darling don't you ever grow up

don't you ever grow up
just stay this little...



It could stay this simple
I won't let nobody hurt you
Wont let no one break your heart



No one will desert you
Just try to never grow up
Never grow up.

Sunday Afternoon with Bilog and Pompy

Jana constantly asks for "Jeje" (Justine) since Saturday. So we fetched Bilog and stole him from his actual parents.

I think they're the typical best friends who does everything together and fights just about anything. Anyway, they were watching Care Bears so I decided to snap my camera phone. It turns out I didn't have to say "wacky shot!!"

matino pa

nagsimula na....

at ang best photo of the day....

ps: di ko alam na ganyan mga itsura ni Jana habang kinukunan.
bugay ka talaga anak!
