Ate Kyla's 1st Summer Workshop ever! (Mc Donald's Kiddie Crew Workshop 2014)

I am so excited! Mas excited pa nga ata ako ke ate kyla e maybe because this is her first summer workshop ever puro kasi plano lang most of time hanggang di na matuloy haha!

Last friday we went to McDonald's Marketplace Kalentong so we can register kyla for the Kiddie Crew Workshop 2014.

Registration Period: February 14 to May 25, 2014 - if you are interested you may still register your child @ any Mcdonald's participating branches.

We paid for Php 595.00 that includes: T-shirt, bag, cap, Id w/ lace, Chef's Hat, Workshop Materials, Button Pins, Workshop Certificate & Meals. The crew told us we will get these items sa orientation but we may be unable to attend the orientation kasi we have out of town that day May 17, 2014 pero she told me I can just get these items from the store and they will just give me information regarding the orientation. Yey! buti nalang haha!

Workshop Activities:

* Values formation lecture: Teamwork, handwork, discipline, sharing
* On-the-floor training: front counter, drive-thru, lobby
* Workshops: Apron Making, Burger Making Talent Workshop, Jazz-up Hat
* Song and Dance: kidde Crew Theme Song, Do-the-Ronald, Dance Exercise.

I hoping that Ate kyla will learn a lot from this workshop and most of all sana mag enjoy sya though I have a little corcern kasi nga kahapon we had a family/friends outing, ayun super duper itim na ni Ate kyla sana pumuti na sya ulit kahit konti bago ang workshop nya.... gggrr!! kakainis later ko na kasi na realize na me workshop nga pala si ate kyla, after ng outing ko na naalala, too bad. Well, I am hoping for the best! LOL

What about you mommies? saang workshop nyo po sinali kiddos nyo ?

Mommy guilt

I am a mom of 2 lovely girls, Ate Kyla going 8 years old and baby niela 5 mos.





this is ate kyla - she is turning 8 yrs old this july
picture taken last march 2014 - she was one of the flower girls @ my cousin's wedding





this is niela - she was 2 mos old when this picture was taken

  I love my 2 girls so much and like any other moms I'd like to give them the best.

I never thought that more than the expenses it is harder to divide your attention to your children in a way that they would'nt think you are being unfair! This is my biggest dilemma now a days. Paano ko kaya hahatiin yung time ko ke ate at ke baby na in a way I will be fair to them? It honestly makes me feel guilty whenever I'd give more time to niela than to ate.

It has been my fear to have another child since the day I gave birth to Ate kyla. Aside from the painful labor and pushing natatakot akong magmahal ng iba, natatakot ako kasi baka maging unfair ako sa 2nd child ko thinking I will only love Ate Kyla and thinking about having another child scares me.

Lagi kong sinasabi na ayoko na magkaron ng bagong baby kasi kawawa si ate kyla. I would always say I will love Ate kyla more than new babies we will have, pero hindi pala ganun yun noh? hindi pwedeng meron kang mas love, hindi pwedeng hindi fair. Pantay pala sya, you will love your new baby like how you love your firstborn.

When niela came, I was like a new mom - same feeling! same excitement! Para akong bagong nanay!

I never thought i'd love her like how I love ate kyla pero I feel guilty most of the time kasi madalas mas focus ako ke niela because she needs more attention at this time - there were days na di ko na gaanong naasikaso si ate.

* I feel guilty kasi minsan makikita ko nalang mahaba na pala yung kuko nya - dati I have all the time in the world pero now kasi busy lang at madalas ke niela nakafocus. I'm sorry ate I may not have all the time to take care of you pero I love you so much kahit na madalas matigas ang ulo mo.

* I feel guilty kasi pag pagod na ko I don't get to read books to her na - like what we always do before

* I feel guilty kasi when we sleep naka harap na ko ke niela hindi na sa kanya! so when I have time pag tulog si niela at nanjan si didi I make sure na mag bobonding kami ni ate kyla

and most of all

 * I feel guilty kasi mas marami akong time ke niela kesa kay ate

but i remember one time I asked ate kyla - "Hindi ka ba nagseselos ke niela?" ate said "No, kasi mahal na mahal ko sya e"

buti nalang ate kyla is old enough na to have another sibling - at buti nalang din she understands everything and she is not jealous about niela.

What about you mommies did you ever feel the same?

Why I love BREASTFEEDING!

Hi Mothers!

I'd like to share lang some reasons why I love BREASTFEEDING

For sure you guys have your own reasons as well pero these are just few reasons why I will always love BREASTFEEDING!

1.   It is easy! 

Just offer your breast to the baby and that's it! You don't need to do much work to have it done, di tulad pag formula kelangan mo pa maglagay ng tubig at mag scoop ng gatas bago mo maibigay ke baby. 

No need to wake up in the wee hours para lang magtimpla ng gatas.

2. It is free! - 

Yes! It is! 

No need to worry if you'll still have milk to offer to baby for the next days. No need to spend thousands of pesos to buy formula for baby but I make sure to eat healthy for the niela! Meaning - instead of me buying formula for niela I can just buy another paid of wedge! LOL (just kidding) I can buy her more stuff since we don't have milk gastos. hehe

3. Best Bonding Time with Baby - 

For me, ito ang best bonding ko ke niela. I get to play with her while she is breastfeeding. Eye to Eye contact kami while she holds my fingers tapos mayat maya kang ngingitian. Precious moments ika nga! 

This is the only time na masosolo ko sya that she will focus on me. 

4. Breastfeeding helps weight loss - 

This is my best benefit! LOL! I know that every mom would like to lose those excess fats they got from pregnancy, who would'nt? 

No need to diet! No need to skip meals! 

Sow.. From 60 kgs to 57 kgs after I gave birth and now 55 kgs - I was like 50 kgs before I gave birth. LOL

5. Helps moms lower risk of these health problems

* diabetes

* Breast cancer

* Ovarian cancer

* Postpartum depression

Very Good! It won't eliminate these health prombems but atleast it would lower the risk of having these health problems.

Ikaw mommy ? What are your top reasons bakit y you love breastfeeding? I hope you can share your thoughts.

:) 

Bonding time with Ate Kyla

Yes! It is a bonding time with Ate Kyla!

Hairfall! Yes, that is the reason why I had my hair cut sabi kasi ng matatanda pag dumadapa na daw si baby nag istart na daw maglagas ang buhok ni mommy, minsan nga nakakaworry na kasi too much e pero it is normal lang daw. I decided to have my hair cut done kasama si ate kyla kasi mahaba na din ang hair nya.

We had our hair cut done sa salon malapit sa house and as usual makulit si ate, lahat inuusisa sa salon lahat ginagalaw! waahhh ! kelan kaya magiging behave si ate? haha

I love you Ate kyla kahit ang kulit kulit mo!! 

What about you mothers? When was your last bonding moment with ur kiddos?

My Birthing Story

Hi Readers!

Sorry for the delay! It was just that this past few months this blog is not allowing me to post anything for some reasons.

So, here is my story...

It was my check up last December 05, 2014 - We Went to the hospital @ around 8:30 am, I was 2-3 cm dilated 70% effaced but the doctors did not allow me to go home anymore so I was admitted at around 09:30 am. Sadly my wish to saty with hubby and family through out my labor did not happen because I was sent to Labor room as early as 2-3 cm.

I had to endure 9 boring hours looking at the four corners of the room, nurses passing by, checking vital signs from time to time, mothers going in and out of the labor room, screaming mothers and all that but it was a very smooth labor unlike with kyla's it was painful and all that.

From 9.30 am - 3 pm I was'nt feeling any pain yet but come 5 pm there was a little but still tolerable... I was given different kinds of medicines to push labor and @ 6.30 pm I was already 8cm (kaya pala parang d na ko mapalagy sa sakit sa kama kasi 8 cm na pala) and later on brought to the delivery room. Masakit sya pero I can still tolerate it I even asked the nurse to get my ipad from hubby so I can have pictures taken while I am giving birth (ntatawa yung mga nurse sakin kala daw kasi nila mg fb status update pa ko LOL sabi ko : No! I want lang pictures to be taken during delivery). When I was brought to the delivery room, nilinis na ko then @ 7.25 pm I started pushing.,.,

I pushed and pushed with matching scream sometimes kasi masakit I really pushed hard para lumabas na si baby and finally @ 7:40 pm Macayle Daniela was out of the world na and the first thing she did was cry! hahaha ! She was rushed to my breast to get colostrum milk from nini. I was so happy the whole night kasi after 9 long months I finally met my 2nd daughter. The downside was no bed was available sa ward section and no private room available as well that time so I was sent back to labor room and I stayed there up until December 6th 7 pm then I was transferred sa ward and after 2 hours sa private room na..

My first visitors were my mama and papa, didi, ate kyla my sister anan and bf embet and tito nilo!  

Thank you for taking good care of us Dr. Pecos Camarines and Dra. Belen Camarines! Good job po sa inyong mag ama and to the nurses too. :)

I gave birth last December 05, 2013 @ 07:40 pm @ Mandaluyong City Medical Center
