Our Car is Finally Fixed
Jun 19We were out in the mall again yesterday not to have fun but to pay some bills. It’s convenient that we can pay our bills at the mall but what’s not convenient was waiting a long time in line. So our supposed to be short trip took our whole afternoon.
Anyway, the good news was after we finished paying we got the most awaited text message from my stepfather saying that our car was finally fixed so we rushed out of the mall and waited for a taxi. Since it was rush hour already we spent a good 30 minutes watching the passing cars’ billet grills before we were able to get into a taxi. The driver was a little annoyed we had to go somewhere far but we had no choice, we had to get our car.
Finally, we were able to get it and now hubby was the happiest since he doesn’t have to commute to work this morning. Z and I are delighted too because we can finally go to CCF on Sunday. We haven’t gone to church for three weeks and we definitely miss it.
Megan Fox at the Premiere of Jonah Hex
Jun 19
Megan Fox proved once again that she is the bomb. Just look at what she wore at the premiere of her new movie, Jonah Hex. Too bad the critics are already predicting it will flop but I’m sure Megan hopes her outfit would be enough for moviegoers to watch the film.
Longing for a Vacation
Jun 19We hope to have a vacation before I give birth. If I had my way I would choose an Orlando vacation but now I’ll settle for anything as long as it’s out of town. As soon as the baby arrives we would be mightily busy for the next five years, I think and I’m not kidding! It took us that long to bring Z anywhere and while I’m hoping it would not take as long for the next baby – what with us being more adept parents now (LOL!) I’m still thinking we won’t be able to go anywhere for the next year or so.
That’s why we’re going out more often than usual – watching all the movies coming out, visiting relatives more often, and the like but the thing that we wanted to do most is get that much needed out-of-town vacation. We wanted Z to see more places now that he can appreciate it but that takes time, planning, and money. We’re running out of time and we’re running out of money because our recent move put a dent on our savings so in the meantime we’ll just plan it carefully and hope that in a few months it will finally become a reality.
Am I Losing Weight?
Jun 19Yesterday, I went to visit my midwife for the first time. Our recent move is good for our soon to be born baby because it means I can give birth at the same lying-in clinic where I gave birth at five years ago. Since I’ve had better experience at the lying-in clinic compared to the hospital – less waiting time, less patients, much more friendlier staff (maybe because they’re not overworked) – I’m having no second thoughts delivering there again.
So yesterday our family of three went there during lunch time and was delighted they were open and we were the only patients. The midwife was eating but rushed through it upon hearing there was a patient (I know we should have gone earlier but it’s a long story). She took my weight and remarked I weighed 54 kilos. We did some conversion because I was used to seeing my weight in pounds and not in kilos and found out I was only 118 lbs and all the while I thought I weighed 120 lbs! So it got me thinking if I was really losing weight. I know those who are taking weight loss pills like apidexin would be elated but not poor me who is already 16 weeks on the way. That was bad news indeed! Anyway, we decided not to worry and just wait and see the results for next month. I’m thinking it’s much more probable that my weighing scale is broken than me getting thinner because I certainly am not dieting.
Aside from that it was a good overall experience. We heard the baby’s heartbeat for the first time! Z got more shocked that this is really happening when he saw the posters of the babies in the womb. Daddy pointed out that at four months the baby is this big already (about eight inches). He still has some issues accepting it – he thinks I’m just getting fatter in the stomach but I hope he’ll be adjusting soon. He has been our only baby for more than five years and I hope soon he’ll get excited with the new addition in our family.
First Week of School
Jun 19It’s Z’s first week of school but sadly I have no photos to share. I lent my camera so for now I just have to regale you with stories. 
We had a good first week of school compared to last year. Last year, Z was so shy that we had a few problems during the first few months of school but now he’s already used to schooling and didn’t mind having new classmates. Of course it helped that he has a spanking new stroller bag to show around. hihi So this time around Z shed not a single drop of tear.
I think it also helped that they are fewer in class (less than15) and more teachers (they have two) so Z is taken care of unlike in his previous school where he was left to fend for himself in a class of 25 with only one tired teacher. No wonder he used to cry every day. Also Z’s teachers have this kind of reward system where they give them stamps of different animals on the hand for a job well done. Everyday for the first week (except for the first day) Z got three of those stamps. Every time I ask him why he has so many he said because he worked so hard for it. Now I was speechless when I heard that. I always tell him the value of hard work and I’m glad he’s finally listening.
So far we’re satisfied with Z’s new school and we hope we don’t have to transfer him until Grade six. It’s so near our home – just a house away and we’re so glad we don’t have to commute at all to get there. I even kid Z I can hear him if he cries so better behave himself.
