I can't believe I'm posting a Koreanovela poster here.

 

This Koreanovela has been airing in ABS-CBN for the past I-don't-know-how-long-it-has-been weeks and I admit I watch this. I'm not into Koreanovelas AT ALL (I get annoyed by people who "falls in love" with Koreanovelas, no offense meant) but I watch this only because one of the female characters remind me of someone back in highschool.

BRIANNA IS CUHMEEEEEEENG! ♥♥♥

Saw my OB again a while ago for the weekly check-up and she said...

MY CERVIX HAS ALREADY
DILATED 2CM!

Brianna is coming, I'm having a hard time believing!

Anyway, while my head was spinning, Dr. Amorin gave us this brochure on this stem cell procedure that they're going to do on me when I give birth if I give my permission. Bry and I are considering it but we'll research on it first.

Dr. Amorin also has filled out the forms that I will be needing once I go into labor and gave them to me already...

I'm sorry, I still can't get my thoughts to straighten up yet. I'm still too hung up on the idea that Brianna's coming really, really soon!

OMFG. I actually found someone with the same first name as me. Shock of my life, seriously.

If every person in the world would do this, the world will be a better place.

I want to try fried Snickers/Oreos.

I have been seeing those in malls but I never get to taste it just 'cause I forget about it whenever I'm in the mall. All I think about when I shop lately is Bry and Brianna. I'm such a mom.

Right now, I'm watching Top Model Rewind in ETC. Today's episode was a recap of season 15 and Ann gave her recipe of her fried Oreos. I will just be needing Oreos, pancake batter and vegetable oil. Just coat the Oreos with the pancake batter, deep fry on vegetable oil then enjoy!

Damn excited for this weekend! I shall force Bry to make fried Oreos for me! Hee.

On making a final checklist...

Whether or not there will be a baby shower (it's seems too late to throw one - and I don't know if I should be the one throwing it), I've decided to finalize my checklist before Brianna arrives. To help me decide what to put on my list, I sought help from online mommy blogs and baby registry websites. Halfway through my list, I realized that some of the things listed on their lists are not really needed by either me or my baby.

Like a sterilizer, for example. It just adds up to the expenses. We could just use the kaldero that we use for pasta. Or maybe buy another one like that just for the baby. It's much cheaper and we can actually use it for pasta when the baby grows up. Cheap and practical, right?

So anyway, here's the list I made for me and Bry's (as well as those kind people) reference.

1. Reusable diapers/lampins - Since I'm going to be a stay-at-home mom - at least for the first six months - I will be able to use this during the day. Cheap and practical. And hello, it's reusable! Anything that is reusable is good!
2. Diaper clips - For the reusable diapers.
3. Disposable diapers - This is for when we travel or go out. According to a soon-to-be-mommy friend, Huggies and Mamy Poko are the better brands but I won't be buying bulks of these just yet because I don't know if my baby will be hiyang on these brands.
4. Disposable wipes - I would've put cotton balls in this list, too but I'm still thinking about it. I don't want the himulmol of the cotton to stay on my baby's body. Anyway, with regards to the brand, I don't think I will be choosy on the brand just as long as we get it from a shop whose specialty is on babies.
5. Burp cloths - I still need a couple of these.
6. Baby bottles (small, medium and large)
7. Baby bottle nipples (slow, medium, fast)
8. Nail cutter
9. Bath tub - Another essential and it has to be pink. It's cheap, anyway.
10. Basin - This also has to be pink. I think we have this one here at home but I haven't seen it in a while.
11. That sponge thing that holds the baby when you give him/her a bath
12. Baby shampoo and/or shower gel - I don't know what brand is good yet.
13. Hooded towel - I have one already from Bry's sister. I just need another one for when one's in the laundry.
14. Pillows - I just need one set.
15. Pillow sheets - 2-3 sets will be good. I prefer white and light colored ones. As in super light colored.
16. Crib sheets - Again, 2-3 sets will be good. And again, white or light colored sheets are preferred.

So, there. That's probably it. Again, this is just for my and Bry's reference, unless some good souls will donate some of the items on the list. :)

Get a clue, neighbor.

Dear clueless neighbor,

Your workers have been wasting your hard-earned money for their selfish reasons. Most of the time when you're not here watching them work, they're slacking off prolly playing basketball in the nearby basketball court.

I'm writing you this letter - which I have no intention on sending you - because I'm sick and tired of the pounding and the drilling (this is not sounding like what I hope it would sound like). I really hope they finish your house soon because they're not only being a pain in your ass but they're being a pain in mine, as well.

Sincerely yours,
Your pissed off neighbor

P.S. Your workers also keep on hanging out in front of our house like some tambays and they throw their cigarette butts on our driveway. Kindly tell them that the world is not their trash can. Thanks.

Oh wow.

Sabi ng matatanda...

Apparently, there's this superstition among old people that you shouldn't take a bath a few days after you give birth because air will enter your vagina which will supposedly drive you crazy. Not the good crazy. It's the kind of crazy they bring you to the mental hospital for.

My mom went 15 days without taking a bath. She said she just washed her lady parts and sponge bath-ed everyday and said that it's the worst thing she had to not do after her pregnancy.

Did anybody hear/know about this, too? What are your thoughts on this? To those who gave birth already, did you do this? To those who are about to give birth, will you do this?

I find this really, really weird...
