nap time

Feb
2010

I cannot believe my baby is almost four months now. I took these pictures when we were about to go to church last Sunday. Yeah! my baby goes to church every Sunday but usually he is asleep throughout the service. hehe. Last night he was trying to roll over but he can only do it half way. I noticed that he does not like drinking much milk anymore. That is why I think if I should start introducing him to solid foods like cereal but my hubby said it is too early. Or maybe use different brand of formula. Right now we are using Enfamil milk and breast milk. Though when we tried to give him apple juice or orange juice he seems to like it. My baby also loves to stand up while being held on my lap, he has strong little leg muscles. hehe. I have to put bib on him because he drools a lot and sometimes I have to change his clothes three or four times in a day.I do not know if its true or not but I trimmed my baby eyelashes to make it longer and thicker. hehe.

1st christmas gifts

By eva

Feb
2010

This blog is intended about motherhood or a mommy blog. I started it when I got pregnant. It is my first baby and I hoped that I could blog here about my pregnancy. But I was not able to do that because I have been busy with my other blogs. I neglected to write the important things about my pregnancy like my first check up, baby shower etc. Now, I hope I could write here more often so my baby could read this when he gets older and able to read.

On the other hand I would like to post about the gifts that baby josh received last Christmas. Below is the picture of the gifts he received from relatives and friends.

lola violeta & lolo art- baby bible, mighty hands of love figurine, 50 Toddler Sing-along Songs CD

how to do kegels

By eva

Feb
2010

Have you heard about kegel? It is actually a floor pelvic exercise. This exercise is recommended especially for pregnant women to prepare them for vaginal childbirth. My friend Dulce advised me to practice this exercise because it will help you ease from delivery and recover after the labor.. Doing kegel helps improve the muscle tone by strengthening the pubococcygeus muscles of the pelvic floor. Other benefits that you get from kegel exercise are:

treat vaginal prolapse
prevent uteriine prolapse
treat prostate pain nd swelling resulting from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)
treat prostatitis in men
increase sexual gratification

Here’s how to do a Kegel:

1. Exhale and tighten the muscles in the walls of your vagina, as if trying to stop urination.
2. Count to 3 and inhale as you relax.
3. Repeat for a total of 5 repetitions. Do 5 sets of 5 reps, 3 times per day.
4. Gradually work up to holding each Kegel for a count of 10. Make them part of your regular abdominal exercises and lower body routine.

Classical music for baby josh

By eva

Jan
2010

My baby josh enjoying listening classical music. Yeah, my baby loves listening to music. When he was still in my womb every night I put headset on my belly and played the 100 Piano Masterpieces dvd. They said classical music can make your baby smarter. They call it the Mozart effect which is a temporary increase of intelligence after listening to a piano pieces. Whether it is true or not I like my baby to become smart and inclined to music when he grow up. He is now 3 months old and every morning I always play her 50 Toddler Sing-along Songs sometimes i sing to him and it seems he likes it. =)

By eva

Jan
2010

1. Pants on the Ground…. lookin’ like a fool with your pants on the ground! haha! i absolutely agree with General Larry Platt about his song Pants on the Ground. it is so true, i just can’t understand why most of the kids today wants to wear there pants so low.

2. To compliment Kimber’s question from last week…. have you ever fell down the stairs? no, never had any experience falling down the stairs

3. Have you ever written to a company about their product? Ever called them? no i never tried

4. Your dog/cat/snake/iguana/pet skunk (or just fill in your pet’s species) goes to the vet. Ok, you take them to the vet… most pets wouldn’t go on their own. The vet tells you that your species has cancer. Do you:

a. tell them to pull out the needle and put them to sleep on the spot
b. take them home and let them live out their life until the end- i do not have any pet but my answer is b if i have one
c. same as b. except you don’t let them get to the suffering stage
d. go full steam ahead with cancer treatments

5. What is your favorite comfort food? my ever favorite oberweis milkshake

6. If your child was put in jail for putting a gun in their spouses mouth and pulling the trigger (even though the gun wasn’t loaded), strangling them and breaking their arm… would you post bail for them? oh my that’s a difficult question. i guess no because he has to learn his lessons though i would always be there for him to love and guide him.

7. If elephants had wings, how many feathers do you think they would have on each wing? haha. i do not know.

8. Is there anything growing in your refrigerator right now? none

9. What did you do with your Thursdays while we were on a break? just stayed at home , watch tv and take care of my baby
