why babie? – the real deal, the real me

This afternoon I jokingly told my husband that we should make another child so child number 2 and 3 will grow up together. They will be like twins. My husband said that he sure wants to but he saw what I went through and he does not want me to go through anything like that again. Isn’t he just the sweetest? I think I am more in love with my husband now more than ever.  I really made the right decision when it comes to choosing the perfect guy for me.  He does not only take good care of me but our daughters too. He even waits outside the door of our bathroom just to see if I need any help in taking a bath. He cleans and changes the baby every time she makes a number 2.  He even changed the dressing of my wound even if he is squeamish.  What a sweetheart.

My daughter sleeps all the time. I guess I should have expected that since she is only on her 38th week when I gave birth to her.  But sometimes I worry especially if she sleeps for more than 5 hours.  In the hospital, I get to be called every 3 hours at the nursery just to feed her. So I do not really know if I should wake her up every 3 hours to feed her or wait until she wakes which she eventually will because of hunger pangs. Hehehe!  Right now I am still undecided but I am leaning towards letting her sleep. She wakes up anyways when gets hungry.

I would like to thank my sister J and her hubby K for the gift that they gave my daughter. Rest assured that it will be kept in the bank  just like what we did whenever people would give monetary gifts to my first daughter. So they get to see and thank the people who gave them these gifts.   Of course, I would have to wait until  I am able to go to the bank before I can open her account.  So that is approximately a month from now.

I wonder if I should buy gold coins with their money and have the bank keep them.  We all know how gold does not depreciate so maybe several years from now, the gold kept will help my daughters with their future.

The weekend is over but it is not yet over.  You see tomorrow is a holiday so I still get to spend time with my hubby and my daughter. Our weekend is extended. Hehehe! Although, my husband is also on paternity leave. I just do not know how I will cope if he goes back to work. Huhuhuhu! I am just thankful that I have him with me right now to help me in taking care of the baby.

I already told my husband that Ramiel is going to be our last baby. I really had a hard time this time around.  It was not only the pregnancy but the healing itself.  He seemed sad about this and said what about our baby boy but he agrees since he saw how difficult it was and still is for me. Even so, he seemed to be happy with what he has. I almost thought that he will be giving out cigars when his officemates came. Hehehe!  But since it is a smoke-free hospital, he gave out food instead.  His officemates seemed to be okay with it too.

1. You do your thing; I do mine and sometimes I do yours too.

2. Healing is what’s been on my mind on and off all day.

3. Remember when it was just the two of us.

4. Skin care, having fun and taking care of my kids are three of my favorite obsessions

5. During the last year of employment, I had lots of fun.

6. She puts a smile on my face.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to resting, tomorrow my plans include staying at home and Sunday, I want to go out but I have to stay at home!

I have no idea that my cousins who are from the USA are here.  My mom is going to Mall of Asia to meet them.  Actually, they went straight to the province and just passed by Manila today to meet my mom before going back to the USA. If I could, I would go with my mom but I am physically incapable. Hehehe! Anyways,  she told me before she left that she will be meeting up with wholesale liquidators too for the business.  I guess this is a good move for the business.  Actually, my dad has been looking for ways to expand the business and people to handle them.  I guess this is one way for my parents to do just that.

Just so I would not forget, this is my schedule for the next two weeks:  I will be having a check-up on September 2 so my doctor will see how fast my wound is healing.   On September 6 or 7 is my daughter Ramiel’s first check-up.    So far, these two days are the days that I can get out of the house. Hopefully, it will not rain these two days.   Yesterday, I could not get out of the car to get to the house because it was raining so hard.  I do not know if binat is true but my husband thinks that it is. I guess it is always best to be safe than to be sorry.

My husband was in the delivery room the entire time that I was giving birth.  He was called just as I was being opened up. He was soo surprised because he did not expect that he would be inside. In fact, he was even given a chair near where I was so he can see better. The entire time he was looking at the pool of blood on the floor. Lol!   I know that this is one experience that he will never forget. I know too that he will love me even more now than ever because he knows how much women go through just to give birth.   I think I can ask for anything now, even jewelry making supplies and he will give it to me.  Although, since I am not that creative, I prefer jewelry pieces instead. But it would be fun to make jewelries for my 2 adorable angels during this time when I am at home and have nothing to do.  I may even channel the artist in me out of hiding.

Daughter number 1 does not have classes on Monday and Tuesday, August 30 and 31 because it is National Heroes Day on Monday which is a national holiday and August 31 is their school’s holiday.  So I will not feel left out after all. Hehehe! Since she has been absent for a week, she will spend these days and I guess the whole weekend reviewing and studying her lessons.  She has a lot to catch up on.    Vacation is over my pretty girl. Hehehe!
