Happy Valentine’s Day!

We celebrated our Valentine’s Day at the Heat, Shangrila Hotel, Edsa. We had our reservation last month. We wanted to travel but of course we can’t make it now that I am on my 34th week. So just having dinner at the hotel is our best choice this Valentines. I am excited since last night. 🙂

Since, it’s Valentines, we expected heavy traffic all over Metro Manila so we decided to leave home early and so lucky that we got to Shangrila Hotel earlier. We had so much fun and of course I am very proud of Gareth because he stays at the dining without having tantrums. He also eat a lot and it made us happy that we can always bring him everytime we want to have an Eat All You Can adventure. 🙂

Preparing the Nest

Baby items are almost complete. I tried so hard to walk around the mall yesterday just to complete the baby items. We got the crib, tub, baby bag, towels and some baby essentials. The only thing that we don’t have yet is the stroller and car seat. I will definitely get it next month after giving birth.

Hubby is also very excited. He keeps on checking baby items. He keeps on arranging everything. He is also trying to prepare the hospital bag but I told him that we need to laundry first the clothes before we can put in a bag. He is really very excited and this is the first time that he is doing this.

I know this is a little bit crazy but maybe this is how the feeling after the storm. We are excited to hold our rainbow baby. But as of this moment, we are enjoying everytime we feel the baby movements.

Personalized Notepad

Today I got my personalized notepad.

I so love it and I can’t wait to use it. 🙂

I think I am done online shopping for clothes and shoes. I am now into crafts and something new and interesting items online. Lately, I keep on browsing instagram sellers and I only saved those who have interesting products.

Yes, I am addicted to online shopping and I never stop since 2004. Wow for 10 years I am doing this and I really don’t know when to stop.

How’s your day?

34th Week

Rainbow baby is now 5lbs and on his 34th week. Yes, few more weeks left and we can hold him. I had my check up today and my OB requested a doppler velocimetry scan and I am glad that the result is normal.

Most of the time, I can feel his movement and right now his position is transverse. I can feel his kick all over my tummy. He is really so active and I love it so much. I love to feel his movements. The downside of this is that I am always tired. My tummy is so big already and I have a hard time moving. I also need to rest often since I can’t get enough sleep due to some discomfort.

But everything is so worth it specially if I know that the baby is doing well. 🙂

Craft Supplies

It’s been months that I keep eyeing of a perfect watashi tapes and some craft products because I am thinking of starting a new scrapbook for the baby. Finally, I order my first washi tapes at Hobby Depot at FB and so happy with my purchase.

I think I will be adding more but for now I have to control myself first. 🙂

When I started putting washi tapes to my charger and make up kit, hubby is so amazed and blurted out “The washi tapes invasion to our home”. ahahhah I told him that I should be placing washi tapes to his car bumper and he told me “NO”. hahahah

Since, I don’t quite feel good because I miss my daughter so much today. So to lighten my mood, I search online the bag I wanted to own this year, I just want to have 1 piece this year.

So here are the bags I wanted:

Missing My Ayumi

I miss my baby so much today. I wake up earlier than usual. I don’t know but I can’t go back to sleep. I want to hug her again. I really miss hugging and kissing her.

How I wish she is still with us…

But in moment like this, I just remember our conversation:

Pillow: (Wake up crying) Patay

Me: Sino?

Pillow: Lilo (referring to herself)

Me: No. Hindi pwede, malulungkot si mommy.

She never said anything after that. She just hug and kiss me. That is how we said our goodbyes. That’s how she informed me that she will die. That’s how she prepared me. I never thought that our conversation that time will help me in this moment of sadness. She is truly our angel. She never failed to help me.

But how I wish it never happened.. how I really wish that I can still see her today playing and full of life. I really wish…

Suddenly..

Last Monday was so toxic. I was so worried because Gareth has high fever. So hubby decided to bring him to the hospital. Yes, since what happened to Ayumi, we are always paranoid when Gareth is sick. We really can’t sleep well. I keep on monitoring his temperature and even though we keep on giving him medicine, his fever is still not going down.

While they are at the hospital, I really can’t rest. I keep on thinking of Gareth. Gareth is crying because I am not with them. But I keep on calling him and assure him that everything will be alright. I am 8 months pregnant and I really can’t be with them because it is really hard for me to walk. My tummy is so heavy already. I was crying when they left. That’s how trauma works.

Sometimes I just control my emotions. It seems that the pain will just attack me anytime, either I am ready or not. But, most of the time I am trying to be positive. I am really trying to fight for it. There are times I fail and sometimes succeeded but I think the best help for me is to continue praying. I always ask the guidance of the Holy Spirit to help me manage my emotions.

Then, I got this one and it really helps me a lot.

Slow Internet

Since last week our internet is not really good. We have a problem with our Smartbro connection. So most of the time we are using our Globe 4G just to have a connection. For 7 years that we are Smartbro subscriber this week is the worst.

It is really affecting our work. I hate this…

If you know a reliable internet provider that has a good signal in Antipolo please let me know.
