Since we have moved to very hot and humid weather, I know I have to gear my baby against harmful sun rays. I recently purchased Baby Banz Retro Sunglasses in red and hooray it came in the mail today! As soon as we got into the car, I ripped off the packaging and put it on my baby..hahaha it's so adorable! She didn't even get annoyed while it was on, she did great keeping it on while we ran errands.
Although after having it on for an hour, it left my baby's nose bridge with marks =(
I really like it but it would've been better if they put a plastic grip on it so it doesn't leave any marks..though my baby didn't complain, but I think it does feel uncomfortable after a while. I will have to improvise on fixing this or something because it would've been a waste if we don't use it..

Sleepless mom...

I have accustomed to sleeping like a chicken these days, I'd be lucky and thankful if I did get a 5hrs of sleep which doesn't come very often. Not because my baby is having sleep issues because she doesn't...it is more of a mothers paranoia that couldn't put me to bed. Now that my baby rolls over during sleep and ends up in her tummy, I constantly check her to make sure her head is facing sideways. I always pray that she'd be protected all the time and thank God in the morning for the safe night.

I'm a lousy blogger....

Yes 5 long months when I can get free time in my hands..it's not easy being a new mom, I kid u not! tho it is the greatest accomplishment one woman can have.

So where shall I start? It might be really long boring now to tell my labor and delivery story but i'll make it short and sweet. =D

April 19, 2010
Contractions starts: 745am
Started pushing: 10am-1251pm
Total labor hours: 2.5

See, that was short. lol..yes I did get the horrific epidural which now I blame for my backaches. If I knew this labor will be this short I will not get a so called wonder drug, the fact that it numb my right leg make it a bit harder to push.
Even to this day everything from that moment was still vivid and fresh in my memory, from the time my water broke, the grunting I have been making noise, when my husband was snoring next to my bed, and when my baby girl was delivered...I felt so connected that I felt her head and limbs came out of me! ahhahaha it was amazing feeling!

It has been 5 months and we are truly blessed and happy to have such a perfect baby girl. I never thought one person can love so much until I held her in my arms.
