Right now, mini-mix namin ang Similac at Good Start, preparing the baby for the new brand. I have Enfamil coupons na di nagagamit. So, hindi mo na binibigyan si Jilian ng formula? Musta pala ang bagong bahay? How's the adjustment? Hi Riza. Nakalipat na kami nung Sunday. Hirap palang lumipat. Til now dami pa kaming box na di naiayos, Nakatambak pa sa garage. About Jilian, ok naman na sya. 100% breast milk pa rin. Ayaw na nya ng formula mula nga nung 2nd visit namin sa pedia nya. Pumayat nga sya kasi nung time na inaayos namin ung house, siguro sa stress at di ako ganung nakakain ng maayos, halos nagstop magproduce ng milk breast ko. awa ako sa kanya kasi lagi syang gutom. wala syang makuha sa akin. Kahit anong gutom nya, ayaw nya talaga ng formula. Ngaun, back to normal na breast milk ko. Sana maregain nya weight nya. If you want the good start checks, i can mail them to you. $21 din yun.

Philippines	All pregnant Mommies	QUOTE (ryandgracey @ Oct 3 2009, 01:09 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> We put an offer in about a week ago that was accepted --- seller will pay closing costs plus a year's home warranty --- then had an inspector go thru the house to make sure all is ok. (you did do this, too, i hope) Only major problem found was the electrical and we sent the inspector's report over to the owner thru his realtor along with a note asking them to cover the expenses of upgrading the electricals. Still waiting for word from them. Ryan used his VA for this house and is still paying it off so that we are using an FHA with the new one. Actually we can use the VA again even with a current one but the home has to be worth $140T or higher, which entails a monthly mortgage of over $1T...and which we have absolutely NO intention of doing (well, not right now; perhaps when I am done with my training ). We've found a buyer for this house but we are investigating the rent-to-own (with loan assumption) as well. With a rent-to-own kasi, hubby'credit won't take a hit (plus, we don't need to worry about paying the realtor ) This house is being sold as a short sale so that it is less than what is was obtained on a loan, and will take some toll on our credit. So, hopefully all goes as we had planned...just as everything has so far Also, sana payagan kami maglipat habang papalapit yung closing time para makapag repaint (color in the kids' rooms just isn't...childlike) and change the kitchen flooring (current flooring is carpet which I find odd in a kitchen). We live in the suburbs right now and alec's school is a 30-min drive. the new house in more into the suburbs...a lot more suburban ( there is a cornfield a block away) but is a nice, quiet community that is still developing (a lot of housing going up and sells quite quick). There is a park that we can walk to and a lot more kids around. The drive to the school will only be 10 mins. And no "boomboxes-on-wheels",t oo! Nice clean air for the kids to breathe in. Our dream location, so to speak. Pareho pala halos hubbies natin. Mine spent a lot of time going fishing with his grandad and hunting with his late father...he inherited all of the firearms, two of which are with him in this house (away from prying hands, of course). Sayang nga at binenta na nya yung fishing boat nya; di na nya kasi nagagamit masyado. Handyman din sya...built Alec's princess bed, kumpleto halos sa mga tools. Sya na ang magpapalit ng flooring kung sakali...mahal kasi ang labor if we hire somebody to do it. Mmm...i found some "turon" at the int'l market...cooked some for a nice snack on this cold afternoon. And I got some fruit salad in the ref, too! I swear, babagsak ako sa glucose test ko... Hi Gracey. We went to our new house to do some cleaning. Tomorrow we'll do the drywall and aftter painting naman. Palitan namin ung kulay. We went all through those process also, from inspection, appraisal, etc. Now waiting for the closing date which will be on the 14th. Konti lang na-shell out naming money. Bale ung downpayment na 1k then ung mortgage loan application fee which is $415. we can't afford a $1k mortgage esp now na si hubby na lang nagwowork. tas may baby pa. mura lang yung house na nakuha namin. not bad for a starter home. Kami lang din ang nag-aayos sa house. can't afford to hire someone to do that for us. buti nga lang may tax credit for first time homebuyers eh. kahit pano may mari-refund next year.	aki	Female	Philippines	2009-10-03 16:50:00
Philippines	All pregnant Mommies	Riza, mas iba talaga pag medyo malayo sa in-laws. Pag nakalipat kami, mga 8 miles lang naman ang layo namin sa kanila. Comfy pag may privacy. About payong, hay naku kahit ulan, di gumagamit asawa ko ng payong. Pero I insisted na bumili para kay Jil esp now paulan-ulan na. Tas pansin ko pa, di sila ganun ka-gentle sa bata, esp sa paghawak/pag-carry. sa hospital pa lang, grabe na kung buhatin ng mga nurses or kahit ung mga friends namin na dumalaw. kawawa ung bata. about dun sa cereal, single-grain muna papatry ko sa kanya. beech-nut ung kinuha ko pero dumampot din ako ng gerber. sabi nung pedia nya 4 mos pwede na daw. sabi ng lola nya ngaun pwede na. im observing her pero di ko pa rin makita sa kanya na ready na sya for solid foods. buti pa si Evie grey-eyed. kakaiba. sana di magbago ang kulay. Ting, July 11 ko pinanganak si Jil. turning 3 months sya sa 11. may control na sya sa head nya tas gusto nya lagi nakasit straight. ayaw nyang naka lay back sa body ko pag kalong ko sya so we decided na bilhan na lang sya ng bumbo seat. that will help her. Gracey, our closing date will be on the 14th. we are moving our stuff little by little na. Lapit lang kasi yung house sa work ng asawa ko. so every pasok nya pinupuno nya yung car tas unload nya after work. tipid sa gas pagdating ng lipatan. we used VA pala. wala kasing pangdown. tas yung sa closing closts sagot ng seller yung halos kabuuan nun ($4k). about the bumbo seat, alam ko sa target meron din sila. sa ngaun walang plan na sundan si Jil. kung ako tatanungin, tama na ung 1. pero malay natin masundan. nagtabi lang ako ng konting damit baka sakali. right now sa country kami. ung house na nakuha namin sa mismong town. lapit sa park at school, malalakad. tas 2 blocks away sa office ni hubby. btw, almost 10pm na ng ihatid dito si Jil kanina. kakatulog lang nya. midnight na. late kung matulog sya sa gabi. si hubby tulog na din. archery season will start tomorrow. eh passion nya, maghunt. nag-leave sya sa work for that.	aki	Female	Philippines	2009-10-02 23:24:00

Ryan is blonde (almost white nung bata sya) but again, yung mga kapatid nya at nanay puro brown. Alec's is brown, too. Lahat sila sa Pinas nag-aabang kung anong hitsura ni Maizy.

Philippines	All pregnant Mommies	Hello sa lahat. Thanks Riza, bmtrrbt, ting, pink and doc gracey. About the Bumbo seat, we bought it in Walmart for $35. Wala kaming nakitang tray. I checked it online, the tray costs $10. Sa ebay sana kami kukuha kaso parang ganun din kasi ang price. We saw one that is $15 and the s&h is $12 tapos wait mo pa for delivery so we decided to purchase na lang dito. So far Jilian likes sitting in her Bumbo seat. Ang lamig na dito sa PA. Umuulan pa. Kinuha si Jilian ng Lola nya kaninang hapon. Til now di pa binabalik, 8:20pm na. Ayaw ko sana ibigay kasi umuulan tas may sipon pa si Jil kaso ayaw ko naman silang magtampo. Hay naku, di uso sa kanila yung payong. Binibigyan ko sila ng pantalukbong man lang sa bata kaso tinakbo na. Hayyyy... sana nga lang di sya lagnatin mamaya. Ang kagandahan nga lang na andun si Jil sa kanila e nakakalinis ako ng house. Naitabi ko na mga pinagliitan na damit ni Jil. Tago ko baka sakaling masundan pa eh. I started packing things up. We're moving na kasi. We bought a small house in town. Hirap din kasi ng nagri-rent lang. Tsaka mas ok kung medyo malayo sa inlaws minsan. Don't get me wrong. They are so nice to us and I love them pero mas gusto ko ng malayo ng konti sa kanila. Sa likod lang kasi namin sila. At sa kanila yung place na niri-rent namin ngaun. Finally, na-convince ko asawa ko na humiwalay. Yung isang friend kong pinay dito, nanganak na kanina, CS din, a girl. 2nd child nya. we will visit her tomorrow siguro. I'm giving away some of Jil's clothes na naliitan na nya. Kahapon pala, a friend of ours gave a bag full of baby toys. Used pero ang gaganda pa. Bumili na din pala ako ng baby cereals (rice & oatmeal). almost 3 months palang si Jil. wait pa ako ng ilang weeks bago patry mga un.	aki	Female	Philippines	2009-10-02 19:36:00

Philippines	All pregnant Mommies	QUOTE (RyaNRiza @ Sep 26 2009, 10:15 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> aki - Si Evie gumagamit ng pacifier although hindi palagi. Minsan linuluwa nya pag ayaw. Pero sobrang nakatulong pag inaantok sya, madali makatulog. Try mo press lightly ang cheek (malapit sa baba) ni Jilian pag binigay mo ang pacifier baka mag-work. Ano na ngayon iniinom nya? So, dalawang brand ng formula gamit ninyo? Kawawa naman, siguro nga na-trauma do'n sa immunization experience. Sana naman hindi No'ng 1-3 weeks old si Evie minsan hanggang 5 hours matulog sa gabi. Parang dalawang beses lang ata nakatulog ng 6 hours. Ngayon di na masyado mahaba ang tulog sa araw. Minsan may isa, dalawang oras lang. Minsan na lang ang 3 hours. Tapos pag 4 hours na at di pa siya gumigising, ginigising ko. Usually din 3am gumigising sya para kumain. Pinag tummy time mo ba si Jilian everyday? Hi Riza. Ewan ko ba ilang beses ko ng try na ipagamit ung pacifier nya pero niluluwa nya. Pero pag akay lola nya, napapagamit naman nila si Jilian ng pacifier. Pag andito sya sa akin pure breastmilk na kasi ayaw pa nya ng formula ulit. Nagpapump ako para may extra supply sakaling kulangin milk ko. Happy nga ako ngaun kasi 3-4 hours na tulog nya sa gabi. Di na ako napupuyat gaano. Tas sched ng pagpupu nya e every morning around 6-7. Kaya sa gabi ilang beses ko lang palitan diaper nya. Napansin ko ngaun na malamig na mas napahaba tulog nya. Pero sa araw mas matagal syang gising. Paminsan minsan ko lang syang pinagta tummy time. Umiiyak sya agad pag pinahiga mo sya sa tummy nya. Pero in fairness nabubuhat na nya head nya. Nakakatuwa. Nabubuhat ko na sya using one hand only. Enfamil pinapagamit ng lola nya sa kanya. Ilang big cans binili nila. Gusto ko na ngang patigilan kasi pansin ko constipated sya lagi everytime galing sya sa kanila. Buti na lang nasasabayan ko ng breastmilk. Sa Oct 11 3 months na si Jilian. Ang bilis ng araw. Can't wait na pakainin sya ng solid food. By thanksgiving pwede na sya kumain ng mga yun. 4 mos. pwede na di ba?	aki	Female	Philippines	2009-09-27 14:05:00
Philippines	All pregnant Mommies	QUOTE (RyaNRiza @ Sep 26 2009, 02:18 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> aki - Usually si Evie lang mag-isa sa likod. Magta-transfer lang ako sa likod kung iiyak sya ng todo Most of the time tulog sya, pwera lang kung nagugutom at yon na nga kung naiinitan na sa car seat. Si Evie nagpapa-baba naman lalo na kung busog. Ok na sa kanya nakahiga sa couch. Pero usually pag ina-antok nagpapakarga. No'ng unang introduce namin sa kanya ng cradle swing naging effective, pero ngayon ala ng epek sa kanya Try mo hwag masyado kargahin baby mo pag busog. Gumagamit ka ba ng pacifier? Wala siyang vitamins na tini-take. Parang di ata uso dito vitamins ng newborn. Di ba sa atin uso yan lalo na ang Tiki2x? Similac gamit namin kasi yon ang ginagamit sa hospital. No'ng una gamit namin "advance early shield" 3 weeks after nag switch kami sa "isomil advance" (soy-based milk) kasi yong unang ginamit namin palagi syang gassy tapos parang lagi nagcho-choke at phlegmy yong throat nya. So far, ok naman sya ngayon sa soy-based. Kaso nga lang napakamahal ng Similac. Siguro hahanap kami ng mas mura do'n. Nakakatawa naman pag si lola nagpapa-inom eh gusto nya Did you try Good Start brand? Sabi ng sister-in-law ko, ok daw yon. Anong brand ginagamit nyo ngayon? Hi Riza. Ayaw ni Jilian ng pacifier. The more syang iiyak pag pinapagamit ko sya nun. I tried all the shapes (the tip/nipples) kaso wala talaga. Ung sa swing, effective lang un pag talagang antok na sya. Pero pag nilagay ko sya dun at di pa sya ready matulog, hay naku nagpupumiglas. Natatakot na nga ako minsan baka mahulog sya sa kakagalaw eh. May nireseta ung pedia nya na vitamins. Ung Tri-vi-sol since Im nursing. Til now un pa rin vitamins nya. Ung formula na gamit ng lola nya sa kanya e ung enfamil lipil. Ung andito sa akin enfamil at similac advance kaso un nga ayaw nya pag ako nagpapadede. Nagsimula un after mismo nung immunization nya. Napadede ko pa sya sa clinic bago mismo sya tusukan. Pagdating dito sa house ayaw na nya. Sabi ko sa asawa ko di kaya natrauma ung bata at iniisip nya na pag bibigyan ko sya ng milk sa bottle e susunod, needles naman sa legs nya? Di kasi ako makaisip ng reason why bigla nyang inayawan ung milk. Natatakot din ako na iwan sya mag-isa sa likod pag travel kami. Lagi akong asa tabi nya. Kaya di ako makalabas mag-isa na akay sya kasi ayaw kong sya lang sa likod. May sched ka ba ng paggising para pakainin si Evie? or antay mo syang magising saka lang sya kakain? Kasi minsan may night na 6 hours straight syang tulog at di din ako nagising. Dapat daw kasi pakainin sya every after 2-3 hours pag breastfeed or 3-4 hours pag formula. Sa ngaun ok na sleeping pattern nya. Nagigising sya ng midnight, 3am then 6am. Dati grabe, every hour halos gising sya. Pinakamatagal na ang two hours na tulog nya.	aki	Female	Philippines	2009-09-26 13:29:00

Philippines	All pregnant Mommies	QUOTE (RyaNRiza @ Sep 25 2009, 04:24 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> aki - Naku mabigat na nga baby mo. Di ba siya magpa-baba kahit di siya inaantok? Oo nga super bilis lumaki. Parang kailan lang nga ng ipinanganak ko si Evie. Ngayon ngumingiti na at nare-respond kapag kinausap. Di ko ma-explain ang joy Si Evie minsan umiiyak pag nagbyahe kami. It's either she's hungry or naiinitan sa car seat kasi everytime na kinukuha namin sya from the car seat, sobrang warm. Yon din isang reason bakit sila umiiyak habang nagbyahe, kaya as much as possible, yong AC sa car eh pinu-full blast namin lalo na dito sa Arizona, mainit. Buti naman wala kayong nabayaran sa hospital bills. Kami nag co-pay ng $1000+ Hi Riza. Most of the time pag gising sya kalong ko sya. Nagpapababa rin kaso saglit lang then iyak na sya. San ka pala umuupo pag travel kau with the baby? di ko kasi matake na mag-isa sa likod si baby pag byahe kami kaya sinasamahan ko sya sa likod. nagmumukhang driver tuloy asawa ko pag lumalabas kami. ayaw ko ding itravel si Jilian mag-isa kasi walang titingin sa kanya sa likod. naisasama ko lang siya sa mga lakad namin pag kasama ko asawa ko. Taba na rin ni Evie. Ano vitamins nya? Start ko ng introduce formula kay Jilian kasi kinukulang na breastmilk ko. Lagi nyang nadidrain. Takaw kasi. Ano milk ni Evie? Mahirap painumin ng formula si Jilian. I tried similac advance at enfamil lipil pero ayaw nya. pero pag lola nya nagpapainum gusto nya. Ting, im using coupons din. marami sa sunday paper. dun ako nakakakuha aside dun sa mga pinapadala sa akin sa mail. sayang nga lang dami kong coupon for huggies na nag-expire last week. pampers kasi gamit ko pero kahit huggies ginugupit ko pa rin baka sakaling magamit ko.	aki	Female	Philippines	2009-09-25 18:48:00

Don't worry too much, magiging ok din ang lahat. Musta na pala baby mo? Thanks aki. We are positive too Balik kami next Wednesday. Regarding sa karga2x, kahapon 3-4 hours di natulog baby namin, at most of the time kinarga ko. Nakaramdam ako ng hapdi sa loob ng tiyan malapit sa incision, although di naman annoying. Bigat na ng baby namin and to think 1 month pa lang sya. Siguro nga yong sa'yo dahil sa palagi mo kinakarga baby mo kaya matagal naghilom sugat sa ilalim. Ilang lbs na pala baby mo ngayon? Our baby is doing good. Nakaka-aliw na ng konti. Nagre-respond na pag kinakausap, nag co-coo sya at ngumingiti. Hayyy ngiti ng anak, pinaka magandang tanawin sa buong daigdig Hi Riza. Sa tingin ko rin ang tagal magheal kasi nga sa kakakarga ko kay Jilian. 13.5 lbs na sya. May time nga din na 6 hours syang gising. Pag baba ko sya, biglang iyak so kalong ko lang sya or minsan sinasayaw ko para tumahan. Bilis nilang lumaki noh? Malaki na sya. Lapit ng lumagpas ung paa nya sa swing nya. Buti na nga lang laking tulong ng swing minsan. Pano na kaya pag di na sya kasya sa swing? Ung pain na nararamdaman ko naman bearable. Kirot lang din sya. Sumasakit lang pag napatagal karga ko sa baby. Nakakatuwa talaga makita ung mabilis nilang paglaki. nabubuhat na nya ulo nya. malalaman ko na gising na sya sa umaga (between 6-7am) kasi create sya ng noise, parang kinakausap nya sarili nya. Nagri-respond na rin sya pag kinakausap. Sarap pakinggan tawa nya. Kanina pala galing kami sa walmart. sinama namin si Jilian. Hay naku the whole trip umiyak sya. Di sya ata sanay sa car seat nya. Pano bihira kasi namin sya ilabas. Kakatulog lang nya ngaun (10:30pm) kaya nagkaroon ako ng time sumaglit dito. Im really thankful kasi di namana ng baby ko ung problem ko sa skin. Kala ko talaga mapapasa ko sa kanya. Panay check ko nga sa skin nya. I do hope ma-resched na interview nyo. Laki din ung $1010 pag file kayo ulit. About sa fee sa hospital, narelieve ako nung nakita ko billing statement from our insurance co. shoulder nila lahat. i decided nga na umuwi na lang agad ng di na lumaki bill namin e kasi akala ko part ng bill kami ang magbabayad. 2 days ko lang sa hospital. Sige tulog na baby ko. Tulog na rin ako. After 3 hours for sure gising ulit sya. To all mommies out there, have a good night.	aki	Female	Philippines	2009-09-24 21:42:00

Ask ko lang sa mga mommies, how many months bago kayo dinatnan? Im nursing for more than 2 mos now. I mentioned in my previous post na may time na kumikirot pa rin cut ko. CS kasi ako. Di pa rin fully healed sa loob siguro. Last night when i wiped, may fresh blood. Medyo nagworry ako. This morning, I peed and saw lots of blood sa bowl. I think i have my period na. Kayo, nadatnan ba kayo agad even if you nurse? Hi Aki and to all the mommies na rin. Kung hindi buo-buo yung dugo at di sobrang lakas ng period ok lang yun Aki ako mga 2 months din bumalik ang period and was nursing.Yung sugat sa loob matagal talaga yan maghilom normal lang yan minsan magkikirot just take pain reliever pero kung di na talaga normal feeling mo visit your OB ASAP. Sa lahat ng mga mommies, hello and take care palagi. (((((*hugs*)))))) Thanks Bituin. I was expecting na mga 4 months pa bago ako datnan. Medyo heavy sya. 2nd day ko pa lang naman, medyo natural sa akin un. Observe ko lang, kung ganito pa rin kalakas after 2 days baka consult ko na doc ko. di naman sya buo buo. fresh blood sya. Kaya nga. til now kumikirot kirot pa rin esp pag nakakapagbuhat ako ng mabigat like laundry (pag sampay ako sa labas) or pag sinasayaw ko si baby. Anemic din ako dati. so whole duration of my pregnancy i was taking iron. even now continue ko pa rin pagtake. Pag stop ko kasi madali akong mahilo esp pag kulang sa tulog. at medyo nandidilim paningin ko pag tatayo ako. na-stop ko kasi sya ng 2 weeks at yun ung effect. Sa ngaun, take ulit ako at medyo di na ako ganung masilan sa puyatan.	aki	Female	Philippines	2009-09-23 12:10:00

And Congratulations sa pregnancy mo. Madami yata dito na may morning sickness (if ever you have) di talaga nag gain ng weight on thier first trimester. But sa second tri balik na ulit ang appetite mo. About babies movement naman i felt my baby moving when I was 18 weeks pregnant pero hindi naman talaga malakas parang heart beat lang yong nararamdaman ko. Unlike right now na malakas talaga sumipa...minsan bumubukol pa yong tagiliran ko gawa ng kanyang kamao...at pag gabi nagigising ako sa lakas ng galaw nya. Btw...nag prenatal visit ka na ba? Evelyn thanks sa mga nagreply, gumaan pakiramdam ko. yes, trice na akong nag prenatal, last pranatal was Sept.1 then next is 29, tumawag nga ako sa hosp ng ob ko at pina early sched ko at sa 24 na siyan this month...di ko pala nasabi, kanina nagpunta ako ng restroom at may nakita akong konti lang namang blood sa urine ko...doon ako nag-alala...pero ok naman ako, walang cramps, walang back pains, ewan ko...sana okey, sabi lang kc ng nurse inum daw ako ng maraming water or juice... Hi lasvegas. i think you have nothing to worry about. during my first trimester naglose ako ng weight. maselan kasi ako sa food eh. madalas nga wala pang gana. dinaan ko na lang sa pag-inom ng ensure. mga 20 lbs lang ung nagain ko entire my pregnancy. about the blood, as long as di sya fresh, i think ok lang. ako kasi once nalabasan din, medyo clot nga lang at may konting red. i told my ob. usually after contact daw malaki possibility na magbleed.	aki	Female	Philippines	2009-09-17 20:49:00
