1 month and 8 days has passed since that Monday morning when I woke Robert up at 3:20 telling him I thought that my water bag just broke. A bit groggy from our late night, it took him a while to process what he’d just heard and I had to repeat what I said one more time. I called my mom who told me to let my OB know and then I sent my OB a text message. Afterwards, I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth, take a quick shower and change into my ‘going to the hospital’ clothes. I was trying to remain calm, and besides I couldn’t not be hygienic even at times like that LOL. I knew it was more than likely that I would give birth that day so I might not have the chance to shower in a while (and of course I was completely spot-on). When I got back to our room, I checked my cell phone and found that Dra. Noble replied and told me to get to the hospital right away. Robert had changed and notified my sister-in-law, who then quickly got dressed as well, and then we left for the hospital – again.
3 days prior (Oct. 9, Friday), I had a false labor and Robert and Apples brought me to the Las Piñas Doctors Hospital ER where I was examined and told that I had not dilated enough yet (was barely at 1cm) and was sent home. Read more…

The baby shower was supposed to be a surprise – Chilie, Ate Zaida, Jill and my mom were planning to throw one for me and Robert – until I started messing everything up by planning one on my own. Haha. They were basically forced to tell me to quit meddling, relax and just sit tight. And even though it went against my obsessive-compulsive nature, I let go of everything and did what was asked of me. Even when one day, little Sammie, as she was drawing and coloring, let it slip that she was ‘just like Mommy, coloring for Auntie Cy’s baby shower’, I just let the comment pass especially after seeing Ate Zaida’s ‘Oh no!’ expression. I was dying to ask them if they needed me to do anything, but was afraid of coming to bodily harm. Lol.
WELL… Robert and I might have known that my family and relatives were planning this for us, but we weren’t exactly prepared to see how much they outdid themselves. Ninang Loida let us use her amazing home (again) as the venue for the event. The lanai was decorated with stuffed bears and balloons, the food was great and Apples’ cupcakes were just fantastic.

After a few weeks of trying to get our schedules organized, we were finally able to visit our Lola Norma to celebrate her 70th birthday. Unfortunately, Dave (whose erratic gig schedules wouldn’t coincide with ours, hehe) wasn’t able to come with us – his flight from Butuan arrived a little late.
We hadn’t seen our Lola Norma and Tito Jay for a very long time – we’ve missed them so much – and so this was also the first time that they met Sam, who of course didn’t fail to charm her way into their hearts. It was a great way to celebrate Lola Norma’s birthday – with her surrounded by loving family. Looking forward to more times like this.

It started with a conversation I had with Domini while we were on our Baguio trip. We were lamenting the fact that we would be missing the cool Baguio weather the moment we got back to Manila and would have to face weeks and weeks of heat. I have nothing against the sunny, summer season – would relish it in fact – if we got to spend a little time at the beach or by a pool at the very least.
Then she mentioned how her aunt owns a resort in Laguna and we were welcome to it. All we had to do, she said, was text her in advance so she could book the place for us. That got the ball rolling…
For weeks we planned every detail of the day trip – it had to be on a weekend as none of us could afford to take time off from work anymore, and staying overnight was out of the question if we wanted to do this before school started for the twins (busy schedules for the lose). With the budget all worked out, I had one thing to worry about – what swimsuit to wear as I was getting huge! LOL. After trying on my now ridiculously too-small tankini, I had to settle for my old two-piece. Good thing this was just a family trip!
