Big Tummy and Little Puppy

I never want to upload a preggy picture until now because I looked puffed up and fat. Look at my arms and my nose, I know it may be common for pregnant to look fat but I am really big.
Ain't the puppy cute? He adores me!
Next time, I want my picture taken with Cassie and the puppies.

Baby Rompers for Chiara

After the Avent bottles I bought these three rompers for baby Rai. I particularly liked the "MY HEART BELONGS TO DADDY" rompers. Ain't it cute? That was the last of the stock for the newborn. The violet printed rompers are also out of stock. The Disney Animal Bambi's size is Large, I didn't buy a newborn size.

Gosh, I need help in buying baby clothes.

Korean Style

If you are an avid Koreanovela watchers and admire the blouses and the clothes that the actresses are wearing, check out YesStyle.com.

I especially like the blouse shown above but of course it would not fit me. Asian styles are fit for a slim figure and some of them may not be the style the Filipinos like. I think Filipinos are more fashionable but Koreans wear something fun.

I bought a similar white blouse just like in the picture from Milk and Co.

Vacation Starts Now

One advantage of being in the academe is you also get to have a summer vacation just like the students. But it is not over yet, we also have to attend the graduation ceremony and even wears the toga. I already have the toga, tried it on and never want to wear it. I am not a hot pregnant momma but I am feeling hot when I wear the toga. I look like an oversize pimpled graduate. I can't even wear makeup because my face is left with no make to put on.

Oh the grueling summer! The graduation ceremony starts at 4:00 pm and it is still hot outside because it will be held outdoor. Good Luck!

Looking for a Kakampi

I guess wishing for a baby boy can be common for first time mothers. Siyempre, I want to justify my desire to have a baby boy and I was able to find a new mother who shares the same sentiment as me. Salma's baby is a girl just like me and a thousand others. I share her sentiments that yes a woman's life can be difficult. Read on..

Salma Hayek: 'I Was Born to Have This Girl' | Salma Hayek
In a new interview, Salma Hayek confesses she suffered from diabetes during her pregnancy and that she was hoping for a son – but now she's loving being a mom to her five-month-old daughter, Valentina Paloma Pinault.
I guess wishing for a baby boy can be common for first time mothers. Siyempre, I want to justify my desire to have a baby boy and I was able to find a new mother who shares the same sentiment as me.

"I feel I was born to have this girl," she tells the April issue of Glamour magazine.

Pregnancy for the 41-year-old, first-time mom was a humbling experience. "I had diabetes while I was pregnant. I became huge. And I said, 'This is what it takes for me to have this baby, and I really want it.' Then you don't know if it's going to be healthy; you are completely out of control," she says. "So the experience really makes you humble."

Hayek's businessman fiancé, François Henri Pinault, 45, has two children from a previous marriage, and the actress confesses, "I wanted a boy."

How come? "Probably because I was afraid," she tells the magazine. "I think women suffer a bit more than boys, and there is always conflict between mothers and daughters."

"Now that she's here, I'm so happy she's a girl," Hayek says of Valentina. "And I can't imagine there ever being conflict between us, because I'm in a state of innocence where I love everything she does."

She concludes: "I just feel so fortunate to be her mother, and it makes me excited about the rest of my life, because I will get to witness her transformation every day."

It's a Girl!

Yesterday I had a Congenital Anomaly Scanning and we are proud to say that we are going to have a baby girl! I honestly wished that it will be a boy for some personal reasons... We only have one name Raymund Irwin or RAIN if it is a boy. We have no name for a girl. Until last Sunday.

And CHIARA will be her name...

We went to the Santa Clara de Montefalco Church in Caniogan, Pasig and Irwin saw this leaflet on the life story of St. Claire. Chiara is her Italian name which means, light, pure and clear. It was a beautiful name. In case our baby will be a girl that will be her name. I am already 6 months pregnant and we do not know the gender yet. The last ultrasound was not very clear but we had a hunch it was a girl, by five months if it is a boy, it should already be visible but it was not. After the ultrasound, I went to my parent's house and guess what I saw? The same leaflet of St. Claire lying on the table. I told my mother that we are going to have a girl and showed her the leaflet, I told her this will be the name, Chiara, and I encircled the name.

What a coincidence.

All along, signs have been telling me that I will have a girl. One co-worker even asked me spontaneously what is my favorite color and I said pink! And pink was not my favorite color, why all of a sudden I mentioned pink. That was my unconscious talking.

So yesterday, I had the scanning and yes it is a girl. I am a little disappointed
(I am being truthful) but today after seeing this video of a little girl named Connie. I can't help but cry and realized my mistake over my disappointment. I saw this video of a little girl with long golden hair from Chelle and saw in her my would be little girl. I will definitely teach her how to sing. Give her everything and anything, make her happy. Whew, it is so hard to be a parent. Guess, I am having an early new parent blues.
