Mommy Momments - Silly Momments

I have two sets of Silly Momments, one is for my husband and one is for my daughter.

This was taken while my husband was trying on my newly bought maternity dress :D

My husband is really fond of imitating my daughter's actions. My daughter is a thumbsucker until now and my husband was trying to imitate her while they were watching my daughter's dvd.

While this in picture, my husband is imitating my daughter's pose.

These pictures were taken when my daughter was only more than two months old. Whenever I share this pictures with my friends, they usually asked me how my husband encouraged my daughter to make face in front of the camera. My husband would simply respond, "it's innate with her" :D

My daughter has a special talent :D She can cover the holes of her nose by her lips. When she smells something bad, she will not use her hands to cover her nose, she would only pout her lips :D

Watch Me Grow

Today is the scheduled delivery date of the "Watch Me Grow" I made for my daughter. I am excited to see the printout. The size of this picture, 12x15 , is bigger than the usual 8R and but I only spent Php 106 for the print out and it will be delivered on my doorstep free of charge. What a great deal, isn't?


This is the soft copy of my daughter's "Watch Me Grow."

Post Mother's Day Tag

I got this tag from Jes of Me, Myself and Jes. This is a bit late for Mother's Day but for me everyday is a Mother's Day. I am sharing this to all the mom's that may be able to read this tag. Please feel free to grab it :)

Before I was a Mom -
I slept as late as I wanted and never worried about how late I got into bed. I brushed my hair and my teeth everyday.

Before I was a Mom -
I cleaned my house each day. I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby. I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous. I never thought about immunizations.

Before I was a Mom -
I had never been puked on - Pooped on - Spit on - Chewed on, or Peed on. I had complete control of my mind and My thoughts. I slept all night.

Before I was a Mom -
I never held down a screaming child so that doctors could do tests...or give shots. I never looked into teary eyes and cried. I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin. I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.

Before I was a Mom -
I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put it down. I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt. I never knew that something so small could affect my life
so much. I never knew that I could love someone so much. I never knew I would love being a Mom.

Before I was a Mom -
I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body. I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby. I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child. I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important.

Before I was a Mom -
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay. I had never known The warmth, The joy, The love, The heartache, The wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom. I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much before I was a Mom.

Send this to someone whom you think is a special Mom...

And remember that behind every successful woman......
is a basket of dirty laundry.

Is there anything too hard for THEE

Most of the time, my husband and I read our bible together before we jump to our bed. But not today. My husband fell asleep first before my daughter. I have no choice but to read my bible alone.

We are in the book of Jeremiah, we supposed to read Jeremiah 32 today, but since he is already sleeping, I read it by myself. There is one verse that became a blessing to me. It is in verse 17. The Bible says "Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee:" The phrase that struck me is the last phrase which says "there is nothing too hard for thee."

I may be carrying a heavy yoke nowadays, but the verse reminds me that there is nothing hard for the Lord. He can carry the weight for me and I believe that He will and I thank Him for that. God created the entire universe merely by words alone, is there anything that He can't do for me? Nah, I only need to trust Him. What a comforting promise from the Word of God, isn't?

My sincere desire is for anyone who will be able to read this entry will also be blessed by the verse.

Potty Training Update # 1

I am so happy with my daughter. This is the first time that we had a successful potty training session. This is the first time she did not pee on the floor and on her undies. We were able to make to the comfort room. Though, she didn't still like to sit on her potty nor simply sit, she was able to pee and poo without her undies. She peed standing and when I noticed that she wants to poo, I carry her but positioned her as if she's sitting. And it was a success!

We started to removed her diaper during day time last week and since then, she would pee on her undies and even poo. She would only approach us after she have already done the crime :-D She can utter uumm ummm (the sound for persuading to poo) even before but she wouldn't like to sit on her potty. And once we remove her diaper, she will no longer poo.

This is a milestone for her and as a mom, I can see that it is a good sign of development.

3rd Wedding Anniversary Gift

On the 12th of May, my husband and I will be celebrating our 3rd wedding anniversary. I am planning to give him a token since last year I was not able to do so because I am about to give birth to our first child and we need to save every single cent for my delivery and for the months that we won't have any income.

Now, though we are not really that financially okay, but I believe he deserve a token for his graduation and our anniversary. I am planning to buy him a perfume from Scent. I want to give him another bottle of Cool Water By Davidoff. This was the first cologne I gave him. I like the smell of it because it is masculine yet not too strong. The cologne has a long-lasting effect that when he puts on it in the morning, I can still the smell the scent until the evening but the smell is not irritating. The price of the cologne from Scent is also within my budget :)

I can't wait to smell my hubby with the same scent again :)

Mommy Momments - Doctor, Doctor Am I Sick?

This entry might already be late for the Mommy Momments last friday, but nonetheless, allow me to share the feeling of a mom when my child is sick. My daughter have an acquired asthma, meaning, her asthma is not hereditary. It is not from me nor from my husband's genes. Nobody in my family nor in my husband's family had an asthma. She is the first to have this sickness both in my husband's family and mine. The sad thing is that my daughter was very healthy before we transferred to our current apartment. I even brought her with me when I went to divisoria, not only once but twice huh but she never had any colds, cough or even a slight fever. She was not even 5 months old then. She get her asthma only here in our current apartment. It is because we have an inconsiderate neighbor who uses wood or coal for their cooking and uses their trash to start the flame, worst, they even use plastics. The smoke of the burning plastics, paper etc is coming in to our house through the kitchen screen. I didn't notice it at first, but when cough never leaves my daughter for a month and she already tried different prescription, I realized that the cause is the smoke.

Since then, every now and then, even if we already made some work around so that the smoke will no longer enter into our house, my daughter need to be nebulized whenever we hear her wheeze. It is really hard for my daughter that whenever she have a cold, her asthma will also attack. Series of nebulization, vomitting and endless crying will fill our small house during these periods. Really painful for me to see my child suffering :( I usually plead unto God to spare my daughter from the pain and I'll just take it for her. Hopefully, my daughter will overcome her sickness when she grows older.

Below is her pictures during the nebulization sessions.
