Updates

I know I haven’t updated you of what’s been going on in my life now. I’ve been quite busy being a mommy, I’m breastfeeding Hannah and I’m trying to spend quality time with Lance especially now that I’ll be going back to work in a few weeks. Here’s what’s going on in our family now:

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. :)

I Need To...

...lose weight that is. In three weeks time, I'll be returning back to work and some of my office clothes doesn't fit yet (I'm thinking positive here). I won't be using our company uniform since the ones that were issued to me for this year was maternity uniform. I need to have it repaired if I will be using it. So now, I'm checking if there are weight loss pills that are safe to take even for breastfeeding mothers like me. Hope to find one soon so I'll lose weight before returning to work. :)

Hannah

Hannah's almost a month old now and is getting bigger and heavier. The marks on her face are also slowly disappearing. I remember one time when one of my cousins visited her and asked about those marks. I just told her that newborn babies have those marks and it will eventually disappear without undergoing any acne treatment. Here’s Hannah at two weeks old. Can you see the marks?

Thing to Consider

If there’s one thing I shouldn’t worry while I’m at this training, it’s pimples. Back home, sweat and dust would easily clog my oil glands, creating an outbreak. Fortunately I don’t get that much pimples, even during puberty so I don't really need acne products. But right here, no sweat, no pollution, pimple free. I haven’t even seen a local here with pimples. Maybe I could consider this to be a place to migrate.

What to Wear?

I’m now overseas to attend a series of trainings at one of our company’s factories. Before my trip, I was trying to think of what clothes to bring over. I was thinking if I should pack some long sleeved shirts and slacks, and maybe a few silk ties. I just decided to pack my polo shirts jeans and a couple of slacks. It turned out that jeans and collared shirts were the norm in the factory. Even my co-trainees and the trainers were dressed casually. Now that’s my kind of attire.

Another Trip

I drove Paul to the airport last Saturday for his training in Germany. He’ll be there for two weeks and will be back on Nov.3. All of us in the house (yes including Hannah) went to the airport with him. Before he left, Paul kept on asking me if he packed everything he needs. I told him I think it’s complete already though I wanted to tell him to bring some diet pills. Hehe! I just had a chat with him the other night and he’s in Germany already. I’m glad he had a safe trip and can’t wait to see him again. :)
