The Pink Sisterhood
It’s a meme highlighting the threat of breast cancer and how important it is
to practice early detection procedures like self breast examination.
* One in eight women or 12.6% of all women will get breast cancer in her lifetime.
* Breast cancer risk increases with age and every woman is at risk.
* Every 13 minutes a woman dies of breast cancer.
* Seventy-seven percent of women with breast cancer are over 50.
* Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in women between the ages of 15 and 54, and the second cause of cancer death in women 55 to 74.
* Risks for breast cancer include a family history, atypical hyperplasia, early menstruation (before age 12), late menopause (after age 55), current use or use in the last ten years of oral contraceptives, and daily consumption of alcohol.
* Early detection of breast cancer, through monthly breast self-exam and particularly yearly mammography after age 40, offers the best chance for survival.

Paul has been busy since he arrived from his training in Germany. They have many projects now and he has been going to the sites everyday. I think next week he’ll be going to Baguio again. I sometimes pity him because I know he’s tired from work and I know he also wants to spend time with our children but can’t find time to do so. I hope this weekend will be better. :)
I, on the other hand is still enjoying my maternity leave and making the most out of my remaining days before I go back to work. I breastfeed Hannah and now I’ll be starting to pump and store milk so that I’ll have enough supply when I go back to the office. I also play with Lance whenever I’m done feeding Hannah. I’m done preparing for Hannah’s baptism and we hope everything will turn out ok.
Lance now weighs 16.3kg based on his check up last week. He’s a good big brother to Hannah and is not jealous anymore. Before, whenever he sees me breastfeeding Hannah, he’ll immediately run to me and pull Hannah’s feet and cover my shirt but now I guess he knows and understands it already. I always tell him that Hannah gets food from mommy whenever she’s hungry. So far, I can ask Lance to throw Hannah’s soiled diapers, next time I’ll ask him to do something else. :)
Hannah now weighs 4.3kg based on her check up last week. She’s now 6 weeks old and is really getting heavy. She also smiles often now and she loves it whenever you talk to her. So far she hasn’t given me a hard time even at night. I normally wake up at 1am to change her nappies or sometimes I wake up at 3am or 5am to feed her and after that she’ll go back to sleep.
Well that’s what’s been going on in our lives. We haven’t put on a Christmas tree yet and we’re planning to do that this weekend if we have time. We still need to clean the house so that it will look nicer once we have the Christmas tree. My sister and I are thinking of buying a new Christmas tree, I hope we find a design somewhat similar to Fig trees and if we can’t find any, we’ll just use the Christmas tree we have at home and will just buy decors for that. :)

Lance's Birthday!
Again another super late post. Lance turned 2 last September 27 and we just had a simple celebration at home. We first heard mass at 6:30am then went home after. We did not prepare a party for Lance since it's too close to my EDD. Anyway, it was super simple. Aside from the people at home, Lance's guests are his cousins. Ok na din! We're glad they came and celebrated Lance's birthday with us. We just prepared spaghetti, hotdogs, lumpia and my sister bought cake at Contis. Busog naman kami and happy naman si Lance. Hehe! Thanks again to Patrick and family for coming over. :)

Tadeo Get Together
Kids got toys, clothes, pencils and stickers and of course chocolates. We got Spam canned goods and some t-shirts. I was also happy with the diapers we got. It was too small for all of the kids so we got them for Hannah. We'll sure save a lot from those. Hehe!
To Dad and Tita Flor, thanks so much!

Every Lunch Break...
Are You Boring or Interesting
You Are 64% Interesting |
You are a fairly interesting person. Many people find you to be intriguing. You have a dynamic, adventurous life... a life that others envy. You are genuinely interested in and open to the world. You love making new friends, and you're always up for an unusual experience. Like everyone else, you can get a bit boring from time to time. That's normal. But unlike everyone else, you can pull yourself out of a rut. You don't stay boring for long. |

We need friends to comfort us when we are sad,

Weekly Round Up
Monday – Took a half day leave from work for my check up. Went to mass for Mama Mary’s bday. I blogged about it here.
Tuesday – Paul went to Pampanga for work. I went to work. After work, I joined in the everyday walk at UP with my officemates.
Wednesday – Went to work again. I was robbed on my way home. Kwento here.
Thursday – went to work again. Went to the bank to ask for replacement of my ATM.
Friday – went on half day leave again to withdraw money from the bank. No more money since my wallet was stolen plus I don’t have my atm yet kaya and I need money. J Paul went back from Pampanga. :)
Saturday – went to the hospital for my ultrasound. My EDD has moved again from Sept 29 to Oct 5. Separate kwento about this in my next post. Will have my check up pa tomorrow since my OB did not have clinic yesterday because she has fever.
Sunday – woke up early to hear the 7:30am mass then just stayed home lang. Paul and I were suppose to go to Makati since glorietta is on sale but did not push through anymore. We’d rather stay home, rest and bond with Lance. :)
Coffee Break ver. 1.34
One thing I love most about Christmas is the atmosphere of the people. It’s as if they don’t have problems and all are in good mood. I also love the christmas lights and the displays on the buildings. Of course who wouldn't love bonuses that can be used for christmas shopping. But most of all, I love the get-together of families celebrating the birth of our saviour. :)
