Whoa! Is that my newborn baby?
Mom, I think you need to get me some new clothes.
Cliche, but true – time flies so fast.
Bunso Is Growing Up

Breastfeeding Station
In this picture, I am feeding my son, not at home, but in a breastfeeding station – right inside a mall.
When I saw the breastfeeding station sign in an SM mall, Bunso and I hurriedly went inside to check it out, and I found a haven for moms and babies! The place is painted in relaxing pink. The walls are adorned with pictures of breastfeeding moms, adorable babies and posters about the benefits of breast milk. A couch is provided so moms can feed the little ones comfortably – I almost fell asleep! There is also a counter and a sink for changing diapers.
Another mom came in and sat beside me to breastfeed her baby. Soon we found ourselves having a nice little chat. Isn’t that great – it could be a great place to meet mommy-friends.
Thank goodness for this! I do hope all malls have breastfeeding stations. I have breastfed many times in public, but I sure would love to go here instead.

Love Note
I taped this love note on his lunchbox, and I’m sure it will brighten up his day. No, it’s not for my husband.
This love note is for Kuya. It’s mushy yes, but I also know he’s going to appreciate reading a sweet message from mom and dad while in school.
Who says love notes are only for couples? Calling fellow moms and dads, let’s all put love notes in our kids’ school stuff – even when they haven’t done anything special! Just imagine the smiles on their faces when they open their bags and see a note of love from home. I bet even the whole class will turn to mush. Of course our kids already know how much we love them no matter how naughty they can be, but I’m sure they’ll still love getting these sweet little reminders.

When Baby Has A Cold
The best nasal aspirator cannot be bought in stores.
It is the mouth of a loving dad that can provide baby with instant relief and comfort.
Daddy’s first time to suck a clogged nose was when Kuya was a baby. We bought an aspirator, branded even, which turned out to be useless, so Daddy took on the job. He did it so well, we didn’t even consider getting an aspirator for Ate.
Now it’s Bunso’s turn. Daddy got to work, and baby had a sweet, peaceful sleep.

A Conversation Piece
The perfect conversation piece must be a newborn baby.
12-day old Bunso was in my arms when we went to the mall and I was immediately greeted by people, young and old. I lost count of how many times I was smiled at, and frowned at. There were people who cooed (“Ay, babbbyyyy!”) and gushed at how cute he is, and people who tried to conceal their shock (“Ay, ang liit pa!) at having this tiny person join the crowd. I was asked many times how old our baby is, and I received many comments about his hair.
One granny couldn’t help herself. Continued…

Meet Bunso
Between the proud Ate and Kuya is Bunso, the newest member of our family. This picture was taken as soon as we arrived home. We were all so eager to take pictures. Even the baby was smiling in a couple of shots. I think Bunso was glad to be home too.
The picture below was taken when he was 4 days old. He has my husband’s eyes, eyebrows and lips. Hubby and I are staking claim over the boy’s nose

Yesterday, I chided my husband for staring at Bunso’s face for what seemed like forever. He retorted, “Nananalamin lang ako.”

A New Buddy
That is a cover of a CD case.
Any good ideas why my daughter ditched her dolls for that?

I’m So Clumsy!
I broke a glass bottle and a dish.
Then I poured rice on the sink.
I keep bumping my leg on the bed post.
I keep dropping pots and pans on the floor.
I spilled food all over the counter.
And that’s just this week. Thank God I’m not hurt.
That’s all very normal says Baby Center. I am on my third trimester, I have gained a lot of weight, my center of gravity has changed, my joints are getting loose. Thus, the clumsiness.
There is nothing I can do but to always bear in mind that I have to move s-l-o-w-l-y lest I hurt myself.
