All pregnant Mommies

[andrew&evelyn 6]

Hello to all mommies at mga buntis,

Brettane, Las Vegas, barenaked - good luck sa pag-ire, push lang kayo ng push. Yung para lang kayong nagpoopoopoo hehe. Sana mabilis ang labor nyo at hindi kayo mahirapan. Don't forget to post pics of your babies at balitaan nyo kami dito ha

Sweetpink - laki na ng baby nyo! Kakatuwa naman kasi bilis nya lumaki at ang cute cute ha

Doc gracey - haha! kakatuwa yung hair ni Maizy, buti pa cya maraming hair si Zac kalbo pa din lol!

Eve - buti pa kayo makkauwi ng Pinas. May bayad na ba si Jacob sa Airfare? kasing price din ba ng adult fare?

Ady - kami din di gumagamit ng contraceptives. Sana datnan ka na ng makahinga ka na ng maluwag.

Marybeth - laki na rin ng baby mo saka tumaba

Musta na kaya si RR, I hope na ok na cya now.

Busy busihan mode ako lately kaya now lang me nakapagpost hehe. Si Zac naman ay palakas ng palakas kumain saka pabigat na pabigat. I am happy kasi hindi cya mahirap alagaan at napakamasayahin nyang bata. He will turn 3 months old this coming 17th at visit nya sa Pedia this coming 18th.

I caught him sleeping while holding his ears and tongue sticking out LOL!





Sa sobrang katakawan eh hindi thumb suck ginagawa kundi fist suck LOL!



God bless sa lahat!

Pink- we paid $207 for Jacob..daya nga eh kasi lap seat lang naman sya dapat libre na hehehehe. Sabi nong taga agency mas mura daw this time April-June. Pero medyo malaki din yong binayaran namin for July flight.

Oy laki na ni Zach..malakas pa rin ba dumede? Tanong ko pala di ba nagamit ng nuk na bottles? Pag sinusupsup ba ni Zach di nag tsutsupi yong tsupon? Kasi we got 3 nuk bottles kaso pag nadede na si Jacob na tsupi yonng tsupon. Nyay para naman tong chinese..tsupi tsupon hehhehe.

Oo nga naiisip ko din si RR..musta na kaya sya?

[andrew&evelyn 6]

Pink - LOL. she got Daddy's hair...pati ugali yata And she "fist-sucks", too. She is happiest pag tinatayo sya...and she is just about 2.5 months. She doesn't want to lay around much. Ambisyosa nga, sabi ng lola nya sa Pinas. She regularly sits in her bumbo, especially if she is awake during our mealtime. She has just about established her sleeping schedule. She is up at around 7:30am, starts getting sleepy around 10am, naps till about 1pm, another nap around 4pm, wakes at 6pm then gets sleepy again around 9pm. Of course, in between those hours she feeds, pees and poops, plays with Mommy or Ate or Daddy, spends time in her swing or her bouncy seat or under her crib mobile or on her playmat. She finishes an entire 4oz bottle of formula in addition to breastmilk so that she has about 4-5 bottles in an entire 24-hour period. She is nearly the width of her pack-n-play so that I may not be able to use the changing table part of it in the next month or so. Haay...ang bilis ng panahon...I miss her newborn baby-ness already

Marybeth - naku, you'll never know; baka after a couple of years gustuhin mo ulit mag-baby. But if you really don't want anymore kids, a tubal ligation or Essure would be a permanent fix. I never want to go on the pill kasi nga I am quite sure that I will fore more than just 1 time to take it. Plus the myriad of side effects (weightgain, hypertension, migraines, etc) aren't exactly enticing. BTW...Cleveland ka pala. Dito kami in Dayton, about 3 hours south. I've relatives in Kent

Eve - good for you. We want to be able to do that too kaya lang malaking gastos since 4 kami. Alec is 75% air fare, Maizy would be free, but still malaking pera pa rin yun. Instead, my brother is flying in with my mother this November, along with an aunt and uncle. Pati yung pinsan kong jet-setter pupunta din daw dito. Will spend Thanksgiving and the Christmas holidays here. Now that would be real fun to look forward to

Been quite busy lately. Am awaiting the outcome of a job interview I had last Monday. Hopefully they hire me as I am really wanting to go back to work in a familiar environment. Plus, it would be really nice to be able to make some $$$ on my own

Hay naku Doc Gracey eh buti ka pwede punta dito yong family mo para bisitahin ka. Kung hihintayin ko yong parents ko na sila pumunta dito eh baka di na kami magkita kasi naman di ba ang hirap kumuha ng tourist visa lalo pat wala namang sapat na pera yong mga nanay ko...dedeny lang sila ng consul hehehhe. Kaya kahit medyo gipit hala go pa rin kami..

Malaki na Maizy ah...parang kailan lang yon ah..bilis talaga lumaki ng mga bata.

Goodluck sa job interview..sana tawagan ka na nila kung kailan ka na pwede work

Doc Gracey, ganyan din si Zac lakas na sumipa (I watched Maizy's vid). Curious lang ako, since Doc ka sa PH, pagdating ba dito is Doc din ang makukuhang mong job? or you need to take exams pa? Kasi after I took 4 yr course sa Pinas ay nagtake ako ng Caregiving tas may mga classmate akong doctor. Nagtatake sila nun pra daw mabilis makaalis sa Pinas. I just don't know now kung caregiver ba cla pagdating dito or Doc pa din

Buti ka pa mejo mahaba haba tulog ni Maizy. Si Zac kasievery 2-3 hrs gising then dede,change ng diaper, play, watch tv then sleep then ganun ulit. Pero I am happy now kasi may sleeping pattern na cya. Sa gabi eh natutulog talaga cya at gigising lang pra change ng diaper at dede then go back to sleep ulit. Mabilis cyang makatulog sa gabi. I guess dim light also helps him to sleep fast.

Eve, lam ko din may bayad ng unti ang mga babies kahit na lap seat lang kasi kailangan daw bayara yung yung fuel surcharge, tax blah! blah! hehe. Oo, natutupi yung tsupon ng NUK sobra ata kasi kung magsuck? pero bihira lang kung tumupi yung tsupon ni Zac (for now) I think kasi di ba meron butas yung tsupon ng NUK pra sa airway. "I think" yun ang reason hehe. Oo lakas pa din dumede ni Zac.

Hi Shiela buti normal yong Echo test ni Jm. Ganyan talaga siguro dito. At least ngayon alam mo na his heart is OK.

Bale more than 3 weeks kami don. Yup don mismo sa South. Tagal ko na kasi naka uwi--more than 3 years na.

No. I have to take the 3-part US board exam (the 2nd part is made up of 2 sub-parts), which will take me some time to finish...siguro 4 or 5 na si maizy by then. And then I will have to re-do my residency training all over again which is another 3 years. There should be a lot of caregiver jobs here, as I have seen on craigslist. The work I applied for was for a research coordinator at a research clinic not far from here. Have not heard from them yet, although sabi naman nila baka abutin ng next week ang notification. I guess they would not have called me for an interview if they did not find me fit for the position. Bahala na, but I am still hoping as I am really eager to go back to work...I had been working since passing the Phil board till a week before leaving the Phils.

First of all, I wanna congratulate all the moms and moms-to-be and the dads and the excited dads-to-be . I hope you all have healthy babies. I just wanna introduce myself to everyone and to my kababayans, I've only been a member for a week and I really find this site helpful. I'm also a Filipina and I'm petitioning my fiancee in the Philippines. We got our NOA1 on feb 8 and we're still waiting for the NOA2. The wait is really frustrating.. lol. I check this site and the uscis site daily for updates and each day I'm crossing my fingers whenever I sign in on the status check page.. hoping for a touch.. haaay.. ang tagal.. Anyways, I'm not pregnant yet but I really love reading this thread. I want to be a mom na din!! haha. Its been 8 months na din since I last went back.. and we really miss each other.. Sana talaga maapprove na sya.. By the way, I was gonna ask sana kung may iba din dito na USC filipina who's got a beneficiary in the Philippines like me. I wanted to know sana kung ano yung possible problems na maeencounter namin because I'm really stressed out and worried that things might not get along well. I mean we really love each other so much pero I wanna be ready para if we were to face a problem, I would have broader understanding and would know how to handle it. By the way, I'm 25, and I'm still with my parents. RJ and I already made plans na we'd get an apartment once he comes here to prevent yung issue na "manugang-biyenan" complex. Lol. Inputs pleasee....

hi haze! you are welcome here anytime

don't know how much help i'm gonna be to you. yes, it is stressful to have to wait and see what happens but, then again, it tests the limits of your relationhip. Just make sure you have all the necessary documents needed and all the proof you have of your relationship. Prayer helps a lot, of course

Good Luck to you both
