My favorite Pregnant Shirt

This is my all-time favorite hubby pambalay t-shirt.

1. because it's got whales in it and i love wales

2. because i like seeing my husband wearing it, it makes him look more... 'whale-y' kind of man (i don't have to explain that right? it's just one of those things that you alone can understand what you mean)

and finally 3. because i feel so comfortable in it every time i got a tummy dweller.

We find this funny. It's like this shirt represents us, The Puddings - well, the whale family version. On top is Papa Goy (my big babywhale), next in line is Me, then followed by Kuya Zaiid (see how he's 'rounder' than I am haha!), and finally our the littlest of the puddings! And just so you'll know this is an ukay-ukay shirt hihi!

Happy 1.11 babylove...


My little boy turns 1 year and 11 months old today. One more month to go before his 2nd birthday, before we fly back to Cebu. It's going to be a new adventure for him.

team badge giveaway

whohooo! I've made all 13 badge designs :) I can't show you the designs yet, will post as soon as I've got them. I hope they will like it! The photo on top were the badges I gave out to the team before I left Xlibris. Each were unique with its own characters chosen by my teammates themselves. They even made it into a shirt!

*meee hapeee!

the badges of motherhood pride

This was my favorite bag. It carried 4 badge designs I made. I was so inspired by the fact that I am a mother and that I have the most precious littlest being in my life.

(Now it made me think of getting my officemates some badges before I go as a thank-you token. Hmm.. not a bad idea)

Manona's Round 2 Visit

My mama came to see us all the way from Italy for the second time this year. How cool is that?

In photo: Zaiid, who will be turning one-year-and-11-months old tomorrow, with his Manona busy playing with his block castle.

how big are you, bellylove? (22weeks)

To get on with the cool real-world guide comparison (showing vegetable or fruit and a coin!) on how far along i am with my bellylove, here's how big it is this week:

22weeks
Bellylove has stretched to the size of a spaghetti squash and weighs almost a pound. (Length: nearly 11 inches)

11 inches less I presume since the sonographer has left a comment "
This baby is going to be small - small in height" last time we went to get an ultrasound. Ha! Just look at the mother!

View the past weeks' comparison development.

hide-and-seek


This is my 1.10yo boy's new obsession. He wants to hide inside his Papa's closet and wait for us to find him. He looks at the camera thinking uh-oh he's already been spotted!

He's got all his tricks and wonder, I can't imagine him grow so fast. One more month to go before he turns two.


After the hard-core-
ki-at with his Papa, he turns to me for a good read. He supplies some of the missing words while I read the lines to him. "Rayhan and Jerboa sat upon a sandy dune. They sat and counted shooting ____ (tars!), sang verses to the _____ (mmm!)". Can you guys guess what those words are? Hahah! - (from his favorite book A Desert Story.)
