Jenika's 1st Day in School

I was waiting for this day since we enrolled our little girl last May.  I even filed for a leave to ensure that I will accompany her on her 1st day.  We've decided to let her go to school this early since we want to take advantage of the fact that at this stage her mind still works like a sponge, absorbing lots of things quickly.

A lot may roll their eyes and even comment why we are sending her this early to school.  For me, the answer is simple.  Education is something parents' should invest on.  And at this stage, toddlers still think that school is all about fun and play.  So, why not take that as an opportunity to immerse your child to learning?

Anyway...

The day started not so great for my little girl.  She woke up with a "sumpong", probably due to the fact that she have been crying her eyes out last night.

I let her watch TV and play for a few minutes and told her to eat before taking a bath.  It's a good thing my mom cooked her favorite "sinigang".  After eating, we took a bath together and I dressed her up.  It took us about an hour to get ready.

We finally arrived in school 10 minutes earlier.  There were already kids waiting outside.  When the teacher called the kids inside, I accompanied Jenika to the door and told her that we will wait for her outside. Amazingly, she didn't cry! Yay! It was a good thing because when she had her trial class last summer, she cried before going inside.

The class lasted for an hour, since it was the first day.  The teacher went outside and gave us some details on what happened inside the class.

I was so happy for my little girl and a bit sad at the same time.  My baby is growing up fast and soon, she will be on her own.  I just wish she would grow up to be a good girl.

My Mommy Entry # 7

My In My Womb 3d/4d Ultrasound Experience Last Saturday, we had our 6th checkup with our OB-Gynecologist. So far, everything's ok. I passed my Glucose Challenge test, but I still need to cut on my sugar intake. We were also able to hear our little one's heartbeat. Next week I will be having my Tetanus Toxoid shot -- scary!! After the checkup, we proceeded to Makati for our scheduled 3d4d ultrasound at In My Womb. I have heard lots of great reviews about this ultrasound center so we have decided to have our ultrasound there. Their center is located at 2f, The Link Bldg, Ayala Makati. The building is beside Landmark. Before proceeding, we had our lunch first at Ineng's Special BBQ -- great food, terrible customer service! After eating, we then proceded to the 2nd level. We were greeted by a courteous nurse and I told her that I was scheduled for an ultrasound with Dra. Ramos. I would actually like to have the procedure done by the owner, Dra. Shiela Illescas, since i ...

Rants and Raves of a 26 year-old

Today I woke up wondering if yesterday was really my birthday. Yesterday went by so fast… And I didn’t even have time to reflect on the things that I needed to be thankful for. I have actually been whining about yesterday. I honestly didn’t feel good about anything. I was not happy. I was greeted by friends (who remembered), family and colleagues. Some sincere, some obliged. I used to love my day. But yesterday was entirely different. I didn’t feel anything special about the day. It was just an ordinary day for me. And I felt sad about it. I am actually not used to celebrating my birthday extravagantly. I just do things that I felt like doing for the day. Spend a day off from work, spend time with my loved one, simple dinner with the family, a simple surprise. But yesterday, I only got a few of my wishes. I spent a whole day at work, I spent a few hours with my hubby, and no dinner with family, and no surprise. It was sad, really. My hubby kept tel...

Easy way out

Yesterday (February 22), i took the easy way out. It's been almost a week since I gave birth to Jakob Caleb (separate post on my birthing story and the name).  I have been trying to breastfeed him since day 1 and I can say I was somehow successful on the first 4 days.  But came the 5th day...and i was literally crying and screaming every time I nurse him. Everything just seemed so wrong.  He was very fussy, probably because he can't get that much milk yet from me and I was scared of feeding him because i know how painful it's going to be.  We were awake from 1:40 AM until 7:00 AM just because he can't seem to be satisfied with my milk. Jake decided on Saturday morning to buy him the recommended formula given by the pedia.  And we fed him the bottle, and he fell soundly asleep for about 3 hours. I know i could have tried harder...but the bottomline is i don't think i can do it.  I have always admired mothers who breastfeed their babies without any problems a...
