Baby Shower

Had a blast at my baby shower...but my husband and I needed about a day and a half to fully recover.

It was nice being surrounded by friends and loved ones. =).

Will post about it soon.

Thanks to all those who came. My baby is so lucky to be welcomed like that.

Rest in peace, Heath.

Come stop your crying, it will be all right
Just take my hand, hold it tight
I will protect you from all around you
I will be here don't you cry

For one so small,you seem so strong
My arms will hold you keep you safe and warm
This bond between us can't be broken
I will be here dont you cry

And you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
Youll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart
Always

Why can't they understand the way we feel
They just don't trust what they cant explain
I know we're different but deep inside us
We're not that different at all

Don't listen to them, cause what do they know?
We need each other, to have and to hold
They'll see in time, I know

When destiny calls you, you must be strong
I may not be with you, but you gotta hold on
They'll see in time, I know

Well show them together 'cause

You'll be in my heart
I believe, you'll be in my heart
I'll be there from this day on
Now and forever more

You'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart always

Always...
I'll be with you
I'll be there for you always
Always and always
Just look over your shoulder
Just look over your shoulder
Just look over your shoulder
I'll be there always

Nearing The Homestretch

I can't wait for my maternity leave. All I want to do right now is to lie down on my mom's sofa, surrounded by lots of fluffy pillows, eat lots of chocolate chip cookies while watching my brother battle weird zombies on PS3 (Resident Evil 5, beybeh!). Swollen feet be damned!

Of course, I would also like the luxury of ordering people around (read: my husband and brothers) and manipulating them whenever I have a whim that I want to satisfy, like Biggie Fries from Wendy's or a huge slice of Red Ribbon Blueberry Cheesecake or any of my mom's cooking.

I really want to enjoy my last few weeks of pregnancy to the fullest but I still have roughly a month to go before I am scheduled to go on maternity leave (February 18). My estimated due date is on the 24th, which gives me a week to relax and be pampered, assuming that Wolfgang wouldn't insist on being born before he is supposed to be.

I really need to savor all of these because after I give birth, all the attention would definitely be on the little one. I'll be casted aside and people would forget that I spent about 9 months carrying this little kick-happy bundle inside me.

Excited to attend my baby shower next week. I'll see a lot of the people that I love the most in one place and they would shower me--or rather my baby (see! it's starting already!) with presents. Hee!

Ooh, I will definitely miss all the special attention that I'm getting right now. And my huge breasts. And being pregnant came in handy during the holiday season because I can flag down cabs and people would not kill me for it because I'm preggo. =).

But I also want to go back to regular walking, instead of waddling around. It's hard to be Superwoman when you're carrying an excess baggage of about 30 lbs. I can't wait to wear all my regular, non-pregnant clothes because I've started wearing my mom's daster. >.<.
Not kidding, I'm wearing my mother's daster. And it's so comfortable that I don't mind broadcasting it. =).

Woe

My husband was raring to eat meat since last night and he wanted to try out the new grill that he won from a raffle yesterday. Haay, buti na lang sarado na Shopwise pag-uwi namin. =).

Anyways, I took photos of the grill and my husband demands that I post it here.

I can just imagine Sunday mornings where I would cook lotsa bacon, eggs, hams, and frankfurters, and pancakes on this baby...Oooh, yum. And then stir-fried veggies and oyster sauce for lunch would be good too. For dinner, my husband could have his prime rib or porter house steak grilled to perfection along with a bottle of ice-cold San Mig Light. Haayayayayayay.

And since we're fiddling with camera last night, here's our own version of body bumping. =).


Hint: I DON'T HAVE ANY STRETCH MARKS AT ALL. =).

Here's pregnancy edema at its best:


Sausage fingers, huh?


Tired, ugly, swollen but happy feet. Those are like huge, square bars of soap. Damn. I guess I do have that thing that Jason Alexander was talking about in Shallow Hal: CANKLES
