Nothing exceeds the joy of parents learning they’re soon welcoming a new member into the family. However, the pleasure comes with many challenges, some of which the soon-to-be parents may fail to understand. If you're expecting a new baby, you've got to be open to learning throughout the journey because that will help you cope with the new role. To make the experience memorable, both parents must be active in the process. But what are the things you need to know as soon-to-be parents? How helpful are they? Read on and understand ...

No sweat! The wonderful world of online baby stores
Shopping (read: retail therapy) was the one thing I sorely missed while pregnant. The heaviness of my belly just made it uncomfortable for me to walk from Point A to Point D of the mall. Thankfully, we got lots of stuff (mostly clothes) from relatives and the office baby shower. Hubby also happily took charge of choosing the crib, car seat and stroller. Chicco was one great store to shop in since they discounted your total bill by 10 per cent if you become a member for just P100. Here's the Mr. Z in action at the Chicco store :D Being the bag hag, I wanted to ... Continue Reading...
Fear not, the Cesarean section….
Warning: pretending to be medical post ahead. A friend of mine said she couldn't imagine going under the knife to deliver a baby. I also had this fear, prior to having last week's C-section even though I've had it before. I guess it's just something you'll have to face head-on. A Cesarean is a major abdominal surgery, all right, but it is also one which gives the biggest bonus since you get to bring home a breathing bundle of joy ;) Truth is, I've had a normal delivery with my son (where unfortunately labor was induced) and two consecutive C-Sections, ten years ...

Welcome to the world baby Lucy!
Hubby and I welcomed the newest (and last!) addition to the family, our daughter Lucia Solenn - a.k.a. Lucy - last May 13. Although I was scheduled to have my C-section on May 17 yet, she chose to arrive on the 13th which was the Feast Day of Our Lady of Fatima. As I was telling my friends, it's a nice coincidence that Lucia, the name I thought of before I gave birth, was known as one of the three shepherd children who saw the Virgin Mary's apparitions in Fatima in 1917. Perhaps it is God's way of telling me to start my devotion to the Holy Rosary again ;) I didn't ... Continue Reading...
Baby Girl Z and our 4D ultrasound experience
I can't quite contain my excitement upon knowing that I was going to have a baby girl again. Maybe because am biased towards the fact that girls are generally easier to raise than boys? LOL. But hubby and I couldn't really care what gender the baby is for as long as it came out normal and healthy. It just turned out that a girl is what God gave us for this, my last baby (yes, am not having any more) We're counting the weeks when she appears ;) In the meantime, am coping with the occasional sluggishness, sleepiness and aches that a prego woman often encounters. Even ... Continue Reading...
