Ten Months Of Happiness

Can you imagine that? It has been ten months since I gave birth to her (OK ten months last Sept 8). The point is, time flies so fast, more than a year ago, I was this very pregnant mom who cried her heart out in SM Megamall’s bathroom upon knowing that it is indeed a girl. And now, this little girl is forever making us happy, her antics, her smile.. everything about her, we love so much.

At ten months, she can now stand alone for awhile (about a minute), she can clap her hands, blow a flying kiss. She also knows how to kiss mommy or her brothers or even Daddy. And she sure do knows how to wake us up by slapping our face. She waves bye bye whenever she see people leaving but hates it when his dad is in his Polo shirt. She’s ten months and she’s more adorable than ever. Oh, she got 4 teeth now!

Bye bye

flying kiss!

And who says she can’t eat ice cream on her day?

see how big her play pen is, even her brothers and their play mates can join her…

One morning, I woke up and she was not on my side. It’s a good thing that we only sleep on mattress, if not she would have fall on our bed. Oh there she was on my laptop table, pretending to be like Mommy. Maybe it a few more years, she will be taking over most of my blogs, or create one for herself.

She’s really getting bigger everyday..

Running Course

Posted: 09 Sep 2010 06:39 AM PDT

I know how to swim.. I know how to bike.. and hello, I know how to run.

what else is stopping me to be sporty and to fulfill my dream of joining a triathlon (except for money LOL).. motivation that is.

Aside from that, I don’t know where to start. I’m too big to be fit. I am clueless in everything. I thought I should start running.. but the only running history I have was way back high school when I joined the University’s sports fest. And that was 800 meters… METERS and not K. and I can’t even remember how long it took me to finish it, but hey, I finished 4th pr 5th haha..

So my initial plan is to condition myself by strengthening my cardio through aerakaebo. Maybe I’ll give myself a week to get used to doing something aside from blogging. And doing something that requires me to move.

Week 2. This time I’ll jog around our subdivision for 30 minutes for about a week.. and as the day goes, jogging will turn to running.

Week 3. Running time. Now comes the problem. how will I know the distance that I have been running? So maybe I’ll just use the subdivision blocks as my reference.. first week of running.. 3 (or more) blocks and forth… with timer of course…

Week 4. Increase run distance.. and increase run time.. and hopefully I can do at least 30 minutes of non stop running without catching my breathe (which according to my run guru is an efficient run)

Week 5. test myself by joining races.. yay!

I will try to document my journey in my health blog and I hope I will be successful on this one.

Signs That Your Kids Are Suffering From Primary Complex

We never suspected Primary Complex. We thought they are just on the thin side or that our genes are the culprit. You see, prior to me being overweight, we were a thin couple. So we thought, the kids just got our body built.
They are not gaining weight and when we went to a pedia near our place, she said, it must be Primary Complex. We had them xrayed. And it was quite painful for my third boy, he was not even a year old then and I can’t be with him inside the X ray room since I am already pregnant with Sati.The result was positive, but then again, we need to make sure, by having a PPD. And as I have said before, indeed it was Primary Complex.

So what are the Signs That Your Kids Are Suffering From Primary Complex?

The number one sign is weight loss or the kid not gaining weight. Yo have tried every weight gaining technique. Tried all the pampagana meds and even tried Heraclene but to no avail.
Coughs that is recurrent is another sign and no amount of Antibiotics can put that cough away.
Some says that fever at night is another sign. Come to think of, there were times that they would experience fever at night and I would dismiss it as pilay.
Some says that irritability and crying for no reason most of the time is another sign.
If you had observed this to your kids, don’t hesitate to discuss it with your pedia.
