My thoughts on parenthood, and what it's like to be a mom in the Philippines.

Mommy Moments: New Born Days

Can you guess who is this baby? Is it Kayil? Mico? Chico or Sati? The topic this week for Mommy Moments is NEW BORN DAYS. I can’t remember when was the photo below taken but for sure the baby in there is not a newborn. Maybe 4 or 5 months.

such a natural pouter

I told you before that my kids are somewhat big during their newborn days. I gave birth to Kayil and he was 7.5 lbs. Mico, Chico and Sati are all the same, 7 lbs. And here they are in their less than a month old moments.

From the top, that’s Kayil. I think he was a month old here already. Then next to him is Mico, I think he was 3 weeks old here. Then Chico, and that, he is as fresh as egg, just some hours after I gave birth to him. The last one, of course, is Sati, and just the same, that’s one of her “fresh from the oven” moment.

Got your baby’s newborn pic? why not share it with us, click on the badge of Mommy Moments and join in the fun.

And oh can you guess who is the baby on top? The first three who will guess it right will win a blog review from me. *grins

Depressed No More

My depression is slowly wearing down. Remember I told you I was depressed because I think Chico, my third son, does not love me anymore. OK, not exactly but he no longer depends on me. he prefers to be with our helper than his mommy. I thought I would need natural depression treatment to treat my depression. It turns out that I only need some time with him. As of Monday afternoon, I have been trying very hard to stay away from the computer and just be with the kids. It feels so good. Suddenly the kids are more loving to their mommy.

bonding with Chico

It’s a bit hard though, I came to a point where I breathe blog and now I have to limit my time with it, it’s difficult. I am trying my best not to think about blogging. Whenever a good topic comes to my mind, I dismiss it immediately. If I would entertain it, I would just end up sitting in front of the computer and typing my thoughts away. And if you are wondering how I am able to blog right now, well, they are sleeping. That’s my new schedule, blog when the kids are sleeping, and yeah I am happier now.

I will Stop Blogging

Yes, I will stop blogging for now. Oh no, not really stop but limit my time blogging. My third child, Chico, was affected by my non stop typing and blabbing. For weeks now, I noticed that he no longer likes to sleep with and he ignores me most of he day. Kaye knew how depressed I am because of it. So now, you will see less of me. Although I will still go on with my blogging schedule (updating my blogs at least 2 times a week), I will have to make a time table for that. I decided that I will only go online when the kids are already sleeping (specially Chico). That means I can go online around 10 in the evening and/or 4 to 6 in the morning. Well, it would give me more time with the kids. At the height of my breakdown, Niko, suggested we go out on date. Me, Chico, her and Yena (and maybe Fedhz can come along). I think it’s a good idea, we will bond with our kids and have fun window shopping too. We can check out the latest in Free People. I hope we can find a boutique here. The car will be here (hopefully) this week, and yeah maybe we can have that “date” with our kids.
