On being married

I love being married, It's so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life! 

haha, peace Barubal! 

Never feel remorse for what you have thought about your wife; she has thought much worse things about you. Nyahaha! 

What counts in making a happy marriage is not so much how compatible you are, but how you deal with incompatibility. 

HI TOOTHFAIRY!

Mama, Papa, Look oh! I have a tooth coming out! Uh-uh! 

Teething:


Gabb was 6 months when we first noticed his unusual  irritability & cranky moods. He always bite on things that he holds, and seems so gigil on everything he grasped.  Plus the heavy saliva, as in TL (tulo-laway babe) most of the time. His comfort zone - pacifier & teether, which Warvie & I thought he cannot survive for a day without. He loves his pacifier so much that he almost chew & swallow it, with a gigil act, which makes him look cute. (except for the unusual flow of saliva, TL kung TL ang peg nya,haha). Our pedia said that it was the teething stage for Gabb, all the symptoms expect for his light fever. While it is a  hearsay from the old folks that babies usually get fever when they are teething, our pedia contradicts it by explaining to us  that  the growing teeth has nothing to do with the fever, or vice-versa, it is caused by another viral infection. But not a serious case for children. 

She recommended us to apply XYLOGEL, a natural teething oral gel for kids, with xylitol which helps relieve teething pain & discomfort, heal inflamed gums & mouth sores prevent otitis media. 


At first, Gabb doesn't welcome the application & of Xylogel on his teeth & gums, but after he tasted it, (maybe he thought it was some kind of candy or jelly ace) he wanted to have more gel in his mouth.
This really helps to soothe him & put him to sleep at night when this teething occurs.


Anyway those pics above were taken when we attended Iel's 1st bday party ( a child from the neigborhood) & was Gabb's 1st partey appearance. The theme was Mickey Mouse & it took time to look for an outfit in the mall, but couldn't find a Mickey outfit that would fit him & I was running out of time, so here is how Gabb looks like.      

Im not so sure if it's a Mickey Mouse look that turned out, but I guess he looks more of a clown. HAHA!
I love yah Baby!  I will be your tooth fairy & I am looking forward to your teeth completion! LOL

I am SUPERWOMAN.Yes, I am.

I was like this everyday. Early morning, waking up with a smile no matter how tired & sleepy I am coz I have a cutie lil angel(who’s smiling at me at 5am like he was telling me,”mum wake up,Im all in”) whom I have to pamper & take good care from sunrise to sunset. Cooking brekkie for my husband(sometimes,not at all times),feeding milk for Gabb,cleaning his bottles, doing the dishes,cleaning the house(if I have extra time)fixing his clothes & baby stuff for the day, bathing Gabb before sending him to his Lola’s house.

Do i have to mention the stress that I got coz Im doing this under time pressure & that I have to be in the office before 10am,at least. And never mind about Gabb’s extra-ordinary likot & tantrums sometimes which made me doubly-tired before my real work. I feel like a yaya & all-around maid, every weekdays. Then in the count of 30 minutes(lucky if I could do it not longer that 1-2hours) I’m a careerwoman again! Wearing my corporate outift & make-up on, heading to the office to face another different kind of stress, less the happiness from my baby’s smile(i always wanna see his smile every nanosecond) & forgetting the tight muscles I’ve got from morning house chores. 

But oh-well,Im doing this with all my heart & with all my strength. And oh no, Im not complaining. It was just a realization from my freaky mind that, HELLO, I am now a certified Mother to a 7-month old baby boy. And that I have responsibilities now to become a good Mom & to become a patient (very patient & understanding) wife. Plus, to be a hard-working lady.

I came to realize the efforts & hardworks of all the mothers in the world, and how much more effort of my friends with 2 or more kids? Wow,working Moms! This time,no more gimmicks & enjoyments! Just real happiness & maturity. 

Now, can I say it again?

I am SUPERWOMAN. Kuha mo? xoxo.
