A Rare Occurence?

This probably isn't nearly as interesting as the title suggest but I just want to share this.My birth date falls on 1, my husband’s is 3, my eldest son’s is 4, my daughter’s is 29. How I wish Baby Jedrick came out on the 2nd of June instead of 1. It could have been a perfect number sequence.

Another rare occurrence is this. My mom’s birthday falls on January 23, 1945. She passed away last Sept. 1, 2000. So its 1-23-45/ 9-1-00.

Monkey Do Wedding

Here comes the monkey bride and groom.

FIRST SEVEN DAYS OF LIFE

It has been seven days since baby Jedrick was born...
The whole nine months pregnancy experience gave me all kinds of fazes . The hospital experience may have been horrid but there is no greater joy than seeing a new life grow out of you... it makes it all worth whiled.

Black and White

For me, black and white photos are always powerful and elegant. It bares the subject’s soul in the portrait. Looking at a black and white picture is like looking at the subject's personality and it shows the subjects as they really are.

“One of the hardest things in life is having words in your heart that you can't utter.

A very honest word or thought is sometimes the hardest word to reveal by mouth. Sometimes no matter how much I could feel the need to express it, I become dumbfounded… I hesitate telling the truth if it does not sound good or would rather make each other feel uncomfortable. If things will not turn out as true as it should be, then I should put a little more effort for patience and understanding. Which becomes a little harder to bear as time passes by.

My Third Delivery

Giving birth to my THIRD child, I learned that each labor experience was totally different. Having had given birth 2 times previously, I know my body functions in a unique way in each pregnancy. My due date was on May 27 but I just had my contractions last June 1 at exactly 6: 30 in the morning. This time, it was unlike the two previous pregnancies (I delivered them a week ahead my due date.) I had painful contractions every 5 to 7 minutes that morning, and didn't get more hours of sleep. I thought the baby would come out in the afternoon and so I didn’t panic and prepared my things “nonchalantly”. I texted my obstetrician informing her of my condition and she replied with this message “admit na”. It was 9:00 a.m. when my husband and I decided to go to the hospital. The contractions were getting severe and intense while I was in the car. My two kids went along and were just quiet to see me suffer in pain. When we reached the emergency room, all the medical staff panicked and rushed me to the delivery room on a stretcher. The chief midwife did an internal to see how far along I was. I was 10 cm dilated ( 10 cm is the peak level)They called my OB in an instant. During my contractions I would close my eyes and breathe deeply and with control, not panting and hyperventilating like you see in the movies and at exactly 10:31 a.m., I gave birth! I was feeling drowsy after my delivery but still can hear the nurses talking. They said they wished all patients were like me, I just gave 3 long pushes and that was it.

Baby Booties For My baby

While waiting for my new baby to come out, I've been busy preparing his shoes...

I’d like to share with you the three pairs of crochet booties I’ve finished .I’m SO excited to let my new baby wear these ever since I finished them. Their cuteness and coziness is just too much to resist!

Pardon Me...

Sorry for being blog neglectful but I'm trying to come back. I hope I still have followers.

Crochet Pouches

I used to make cellphone pouches the previous year and completed a hundred already. Now, I want to create something bigger and more useful.

Monkey See Monkey Doo

Monkeys are funny looking creatures. They always fascinate people with their queer funny movements. I found this project as the most difficult one to finish since this is a tiny one. Here's my monkey project.

Hello Kitty

Hello kitty is a fictional character produced by the Japanese company Sanrio.This character is so popular globally and little girls just adore them. I didn't have the chance to own this kind of stuff when I was younger but now i do...hahaha.

Blue Amigurumi Bear

Amigurumi is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small stuffed animals and anthropomorphic creatures. I am hooked. I decided to try bears first since a lot of people like bears. I made it with a thicker yarn so it would come out bigger. Now, my daughter is happily playing with it and she sleeps with this blue bear.
