A New Hobby


My new hobby is making babies.

Yes, i'm preggie again, and my life has gone back to THIS.

Glory was only 6 months old! 
I  was still breastfeeding! 
We ummm... took precautions!

But the nausea was too familiar, the tiredness too telling. 
Munch got a test kit. Positive. We got another one. Positive. 
Dang~~~~

But i'm gonna try to do better this time round:

  • i'm NOT gonna push myself till my baby's underweight and my health suffers and i cry through the pregnancy. i know this is a potential pitfall for me, especially now with a baby to care for on top of work and pregnancy. My natural tendency is to kill myself trying to do it all.  But i will not play the martyr this time. for one, we're getting the help of a FDW. hello, florencia! To make up for it financially, we're going for a much cheaper gynae this time. and, if necessary, i'll deliver in my bathroom instead of a one-bedder at TMC.

  • i'm gonna stay in ministry, and do whatever i can to continue serving others. Remember what Carol shared -  do all you can for each day. 

  • i'm gonna enjoy my students and keep my focus. i NEED to love them before i can do anything meaningful for them.

You know how the return journey always seems shorter than when you first made your way there? i'm hoping that it's true for repeat pregnancies as well. i remember the dreariness i felt, and how it seemed so unending. Perhaps this time round i'd be going  *Pop* "Oh hey, baby's out! i didn't even notice i was pregnant!!" 

We can hope, we can hope.
And by the way, making babies is NOT really my new hobby. Far from it.
I prefer making purees. it's a lot less work.

MacNoob

Just got my MacBook, yes the aluminum one. =)
Looks good, seems promising so far, but i'm still not used to it. 
And i still haven't figured out the applications for word processing/ ppt etc yet. The iPhoto and Garageband were more enticing. And i love the trackpad! (except i miss the ease of right-clicking)
Anyway, I think i need to visit peck for a crash course on the more serious stuff... else cannot start work...
---
Got a zillion (by now u should know i exaggerate) pictures of Glory that i wanted to upload.
Unfortunately the Evil Computer/ Camera/ XD card really messed things up, and i lost some pictures. ='(

She looked so so pretty can. Blue dress, smiling daintily while rolling all over the hotel bed, sunlight streaming in from the window. 

*Cry* 

Dumb thing is, this is not the first time it happened. I think the previous time we lost some of our honeymoon pics. How to prevent it from happening again??? dun even know if it's the comp, the camera or the card. Hey they all start with the letter "c". 

Anyway, yeah, sometimes technology frustrates me. Which explains why i bought Glory simple stuff like bubbles, and will be getting her a windmill next. For her Christmas present. Simple and fun, and affordable. 

Glory is always so thrilled by simple things. She loves the signboards at the public carparks "Mind the railings/beams when reversing". She kicks gleefully and chuckles whenever she sees them. Which is like almost everyday. And for every board we walk past. So each time we walk across the carpark, she has a party.
She loves trees - i can't figure out if it's the size/ movement/he
ight/ colour that thrills her so much, but she loves them.
And a funny new hobby - making faces at herself in the mirror. Kekekek. 

She's so much fun now, and so affectionate too. 
She once held my face with both her tiny hands, drew me close and placed her lips on me. Ok, it's hard to tell if she was trying to kiss me or eat me, but judging by the sweet smile on her face, it was a kiss.
She IS quite an eater though. Quite easy-going and well-behaved. She ate almost everything we offered her (except the chor-bee-gor)

And here's my little darling sitting =)
so fast hor?
=)
but not as fast as the MacBook startup. THAT is amazing man.
