sweetpink - Laki ng baby mo at super cute and chubby :) Sarap pisilin ng pisngi :D Ilang lbs na sya?

2 weeks ago yung recent visit namin sa pedia and he weighed 13.1 lbs. He's turning 11 weeks old next week. malakas kumain baby ko. Before I tried to to follow 2-3 hours interval for feeding but sometimes he still cries for more in between of those feeding time. And his pedia said that I shouldn't be conscious with the interval hours of feeding but to go with his hint and cries instead. For the first 3 weeks ang hirap i-distinguish the difference between hunger from the "he's" tired or not feeling well cry, but as I go along parang ang dali nalang ng response every time he needs something.

Hi mga mommies!

Riza-thanks sa info about doon sa kailangan dalhin sa hospital. Malapit na talaga ako mangingitlog hehehehe. Very exciting na talaga. I really hope for a normal delivery. And also for abundant breastmilk :D

Talaga? all the way na nakahubad? Bakit di lang yong ibaba? Naku ayaw ko pa naman na pinapahubad ako tapos kung ano ano yong ginagawa sakin. I refused nga to have pap smear eh...pero this is it na kahit ayaw ko pa wala na akong magawa nito heheheeh. I just follow your advice na lang mag relax na lang. About my joint pain masakit pa rin especially pag ka gising sa umaga. Btw...Advance happy anniversarry sayo and your hubby :)

Zenden -welcome here...malapit ka na pala mangitlog.

Sweetpink-Parang kailan lang yon ah...11 weeks na si Baby...lusog lusog naman nya. Kakagigil.

About naman sa insurance nagtanong kami don sa hospital (KAISER) yan yong insurance namin. We paid 15 for every visit kasama na ultrasound dyan and another 10 for the lab fees. And sabi samin $500 daw babayaran namin every day that we stayed in the hospital for the delivery plus si Baby cover for a month lang. Hay naku sobrang napakamahal dito :(

Sa lahat ng mga mommies-happy weekends!

ganun kamahal ang insurance manganak kahit may insurance? grabeh naman...

nakakainggit naman ang nanganak na at manganganak na...pag time na namin manganak eh months old na yung mga baby ninyo...kami mag-uumpisa pa lang pero okay lang kaso ang layo pa mga 3 months pa iintayin ko...hahay.

napansin ko sa mga baby ninyo eh ang tatabaching ching...dahil ba yan sa gatas o dala lang ng pagiging kano at kana?

kahapon nagpunta kami sa baby r us kakaopen lang nila dito i guess this month...natawa hubby ko kasi sa parking lot may special lot for expectant mommies kasi usually for disable lang yung mga may special parking...pero di kami namili...gusto sana ng hubby ko na bumili na ng stroller kaso sabi ko malayo pa. hehehehehe...

pagkatapos ba ng glucose test anong test na naman ba ang gagawin?

evelyn di naman siguro totally hubad may pinapasuot naman silang paper cloth na parang maria clara ang dating...hehehehehe

God bless to us.

Timeline
aki - Usually si Evie lang mag-isa sa likod. Magta-transfer lang ako sa likod kung iiyak sya ng todo :D Most of the time tulog sya, pwera lang kung nagugutom at yon na nga kung naiinitan na sa car seat. Si Evie nagpapa-baba naman lalo na kung busog. Ok na sa kanya nakahiga sa couch. Pero usually pag ina-antok nagpapakarga. No'ng unang introduce namin sa kanya ng cradle swing naging effective, pero ngayon ala ng epek sa kanya :wacko: Try mo hwag masyado kargahin baby mo pag busog. Gumagamit ka ba ng pacifier?

Wala siyang vitamins na tini-take. Parang di ata uso dito vitamins ng newborn. Di ba sa atin uso yan lalo na ang Tiki2x? :) Similac gamit namin kasi yon ang ginagamit sa hospital. No'ng una gamit namin "advance early shield" 3 weeks after nag switch kami sa "isomil advance" (soy-based milk) kasi yong unang ginamit namin palagi syang gassy tapos parang lagi nagcho-choke at phlegmy yong throat nya. So far, ok naman sya ngayon sa soy-based. Kaso nga lang napakamahal ng Similac. Siguro hahanap kami ng mas mura do'n.

Nakakatawa naman pag si lola nagpapa-inom eh gusto nya :D Did you try Good Start brand? Sabi ng sister-in-law ko, ok daw yon. Anong brand ginagamit nyo ngayon?

Hi Riza. Ayaw ni Jilian ng pacifier. The more syang iiyak pag pinapagamit ko sya nun. I tried all the shapes (the tip/nipples) kaso wala talaga. Ung sa swing, effective lang un pag talagang antok na sya. Pero pag nilagay ko sya dun at di pa sya ready matulog, hay naku nagpupumiglas. Natatakot na nga ako minsan baka mahulog sya sa kakagalaw eh.

May nireseta ung pedia nya na vitamins. Ung Tri-vi-sol since Im nursing. Til now un pa rin vitamins nya. Ung formula na gamit ng lola nya sa kanya e ung enfamil lipil. Ung andito sa akin enfamil at similac advance kaso un nga ayaw nya pag ako nagpapadede. Nagsimula un after mismo nung immunization nya. Napadede ko pa sya sa clinic bago mismo sya tusukan. Pagdating dito sa house ayaw na nya. Sabi ko sa asawa ko di kaya natrauma ung bata at iniisip nya na pag bibigyan ko sya ng milk sa bottle e susunod, needles naman sa legs nya? :wacko: Di kasi ako makaisip ng reason why bigla nyang inayawan ung milk.

Natatakot din ako na iwan sya mag-isa sa likod pag travel kami. Lagi akong asa tabi nya. Kaya di ako makalabas mag-isa na akay sya kasi ayaw kong sya lang sa likod.

May sched ka ba ng paggising para pakainin si Evie? or antay mo syang magising saka lang sya kakain? Kasi minsan may night na 6 hours straight syang tulog at di din ako nagising. Dapat daw kasi pakainin sya every after 2-3 hours pag breastfeed or 3-4 hours pag formula. Sa ngaun ok na sleeping pattern nya. Nagigising sya ng midnight, 3am then 6am. Dati grabe, every hour halos gising sya. Pinakamatagal na ang two hours na tulog nya.

Sweetpink-Parang kailan lang yon ah...11 weeks na si Baby...lusog lusog naman nya. Kakagigil.

Oo nga eve napakabilis lumipas ng panahon at napaka bilis din lumaki ni baby kaya I always want to savor every single minute kahit puyat galing work or kahit antok pa early in the morning before going to work maaga talaga akong gigising to play with my baby.

I hope you already start preparing your stuff for the hospital because you'll never know. Like mine, I was 2 weeks early kaya mas mabuti na yung naka prepare ka na.

sweetpink - Naku ang bigat na pala ng baby mo :) Hindi ba siya lagi nagpapakarga? Sana hindi. You're right about the crying clues. Sa katagalan, ma-distinguish na rin natin kung ano ibig sabihin ng iyak ng baby. Btw, sino nagbabantay sa anak mo habang nasa work ka?

Eve - Ooopssss, hindi all the way hubad, sorry. Yo'ng sa baba lang ang hubad lahat. Sana gentle ang OB mo para di masakit. Pero, just prepare yourself to relax na lang beforehand para di masyadong uncomfy. Thanks nga pala for the advance greetings :)

bmtrrbt - Iba nga ang Babies R Us may reservation para sa mga buntis :) If you want a coupon from the store I have some, hanggang October 15 lang.

As far as I remember after sa glucose test ay ang Group B Strep test. Kinukuha ang sample using a cotton swab sa ari. Pag nagka-positive ang Mommy binibigyan ng antibiotic.

aki - Si Evie gumagamit ng pacifier although hindi palagi. Minsan linuluwa nya pag ayaw. Pero sobrang nakatulong pag inaantok sya, madali makatulog. Try mo press lightly ang cheek (malapit sa baba) ni Jilian pag binigay mo ang pacifier baka mag-work.

Ano na ngayon iniinom nya? So, dalawang brand ng formula gamit ninyo? Kawawa naman, siguro nga na-trauma do'n sa immunization experience. Sana naman hindi :(

No'ng 1-3 weeks old si Evie minsan hanggang 5 hours matulog sa gabi. Parang dalawang beses lang ata nakatulog ng 6 hours. Ngayon di na masyado mahaba ang tulog sa araw. Minsan may isa, dalawang oras lang. Minsan na lang ang 3 hours. Tapos pag 4 hours na at di pa siya gumigising, ginigising ko. Usually din 3am gumigising sya para kumain. Pinag tummy time mo ba si Jilian everyday?

Bituin - Punta kami ng USCIS on Wednesday dahil nag file kami ng appointment online through INFOPASS. We'll see kung ano action nila sa case namin. Sana nga di na kami pa re-apply nila.

Sweetpink-Parang kailan lang yon ah...11 weeks na si Baby...lusog lusog naman nya. Kakagigil.

Oo nga eve napakabilis lumipas ng panahon at napaka bilis din lumaki ni baby kaya I always want to savor every single minute kahit puyat galing work or kahit antok pa early in the morning before going to work maaga talaga akong gigising to play with my baby.

I hope you already start preparing your stuff for the hospital because you'll never know. Like mine, I was 2 weeks early kaya mas mabuti na yung naka prepare ka na.

I remember nga sweetpink di ba parang end of july yong due date mo pero you gave already like July 13...yon nga di pa ako naka pag prepare ng mga gamit eh. Maybe i'll do it tomorrow na lang.

Bilis lumaki ng mga babies no...minsan nga nag-uusap kami ng asawa ko na pag lumaki na tong baby namin time will come na ayaw na nito mag pahalik sa amin. And I think you are right dapat talaga namnamin ang pagiging nanay while they were still a baby.

sweetpink - Naku ang bigat na pala ng baby mo :) Hindi ba siya lagi nagpapakarga? Sana hindi. You're right about the crying clues. Sa katagalan, ma-distinguish na rin natin kung ano ibig sabihin ng iyak ng baby. Btw, sino nagbabantay sa anak mo habang nasa work ka?

Eve - Ooopssss, hindi all the way hubad, sorry. Yo'ng sa baba lang ang hubad lahat. Sana gentle ang OB mo para di masakit. Pero, just prepare yourself to relax na lang beforehand para di masyadong uncomfy. Thanks nga pala for the advance greetings :)

bmtrrbt - Iba nga ang Babies R Us may reservation para sa mga buntis :) If you want a coupon from the store I have some, hanggang October 15 lang.

As far as I remember after sa glucose test ay ang Group B Strep test. Kinukuha ang sample using a cotton swab sa ari. Pag nagka-positive ang Mommy binibigyan ng antibiotic.

aki - Si Evie gumagamit ng pacifier although hindi palagi. Minsan linuluwa nya pag ayaw. Pero sobrang nakatulong pag inaantok sya, madali makatulog. Try mo press lightly ang cheek (malapit sa baba) ni Jilian pag binigay mo ang pacifier baka mag-work.

Ano na ngayon iniinom nya? So, dalawang brand ng formula gamit ninyo? Kawawa naman, siguro nga na-trauma do'n sa immunization experience. Sana naman hindi :(

No'ng 1-3 weeks old si Evie minsan hanggang 5 hours matulog sa gabi. Parang dalawang beses lang ata nakatulog ng 6 hours. Ngayon di na masyado mahaba ang tulog sa araw. Minsan may isa, dalawang oras lang. Minsan na lang ang 3 hours. Tapos pag 4 hours na at di pa siya gumigising, ginigising ko. Usually din 3am gumigising sya para kumain. Pinag tummy time mo ba si Jilian everyday?

Bituin - Punta kami ng USCIS on Wednesday dahil nag file kami ng appointment online through INFOPASS. We'll see kung ano action nila sa case namin. Sana nga di na kami pa re-apply nila.

Hay sana nga gentle sya at baka masipa ko sya ng di sinasadya hhehhehehe. Ewan ko lang di ko pa sya kasi na try eh. Nong time kasi na chineck yong cervix ko RN yong gumawa. I'm seeing two kasi RN at tsaka OB..bale salitan silang dalawa. Pero mukha naman silang experienced na :)

Ako din pala I got 3 samples of similac powder and 1 bottle of similac liquid. Don sa bottle feeding ilang pirasong bottles meron kayo? I just got 3 only kasi di ko pa sure kong bottle feeding lang. At yong pinili ko Dr. Brown kahit medyo ,mahal and medyo reklamo asawa ko hehehehe...eh kaso yon gusto ko kaya go na lang din sya.I really wanted to breastfeed him kasi. Sabi naman ng nanay ko mayaman daw sya sa gatas nong kami pa yong baby so I'm hoping sana namana ko yong kayamanan na yon hehehehe.

Hi Riza. Ewan ko ba ilang beses ko ng try na ipagamit ung pacifier nya pero niluluwa nya. Pero pag akay lola nya, napapagamit naman nila si Jilian ng pacifier. Pag andito sya sa akin pure breastmilk na kasi ayaw pa nya ng formula ulit. Nagpapump ako para may extra supply sakaling kulangin milk ko. Happy nga ako ngaun kasi 3-4 hours na tulog nya sa gabi. Di na ako napupuyat gaano. Tas sched ng pagpupu nya e every morning around 6-7. Kaya sa gabi ilang beses ko lang palitan diaper nya.

Napansin ko ngaun na malamig na mas napahaba tulog nya. Pero sa araw mas matagal syang gising. Paminsan minsan ko lang syang pinagta tummy time. Umiiyak sya agad pag pinahiga mo sya sa tummy nya. Pero in fairness nabubuhat na nya head nya. Nakakatuwa. Nabubuhat ko na sya using one hand only.

Enfamil pinapagamit ng lola nya sa kanya. Ilang big cans binili nila. Gusto ko na ngang patigilan kasi pansin ko constipated sya lagi everytime galing sya sa kanila. Buti na lang nasasabayan ko ng breastmilk.

Sa Oct 11 3 months na si Jilian. Ang bilis ng araw. Can't wait na pakainin sya ng solid food. By thanksgiving pwede na sya kumain ng mga yun. 4 mos. pwede na di ba?

Baby formula can make the baby constipated...more protein in the diet = constipation. Ever given your child a few sips of water? that can help.

Note on pacifiers...while they are good in soothing a crying baby, they can also cause improper tooth growth later on. so if the child doesn't want it, don't force it. My daughter only used one sparingly and totally refused it by the time she was 2 months old. Same goes for keeping the baby on a bottle for long. Hopefully by the time your child is a year old, she'd be off the bottle already.

Babies will sleep an average of 18-20 hours a day in the first few weeks. Habang palaki sila ng palaki, their sleeping hours shorten so that they are awake longer in the daytime and sleep continuously about 4-5 hours at night...which should be a respite for you.

Solid food...ask your pedia. the traditional is 4 months although I had tried my daughter on baby cereal at 3.5months. At least 1-2 feeds a day, pa-konti-konti lang.

These are my two cents' worth...from experience :)
