Welcome Baby Jacob!

Hi Everyone,

Aaaaaaand I'm back!

Let me introduce you to the newest member of our family... Jacob.

Isn't he cute? He looks very much like his Daddy. He is more than a month old already. My scheduled CS operation was January 30, but I was admitted January 29 early morning because I already had contractions around 4AM. I gave birth in the afternoon. Night of January 28, my mother-in-law and husband were discussing about how a child's astrological sign is altered if he is born thru CS operation because it is not his natural birth date. They are wondering if there is an effect to the child. Maybe the baby heard them, so I got contractions (I did not have one when I was carrying Sofia) and gave birth a day earlier. :D I am happy I felt the pain of contractions this time, at least I got to experience that. When I was in the operating room and waiting for the doctor, I asked the nurse why they haven't given me meds to put me to sleep (since I was asleep before I got to the operating room when I gave birth to Sofia). The nurse said that they do not give those meds because these will put the baby to sleep as well. I was so nervous, I thought that I'll sleep my way through the operation. I was thinking maybe I won't need those meds to go to sleep; I'm ready to faint anytime. Haha! It was another experience that I'm very happy to have though. I saw my baby as soon as he was taken out of me and before I fell asleep.

Sofia is proving to be the best Ate. She loves Jacob and is right beside him with the feeding bottle in her hand when she hears him crying. She reminds her Daddy not to kiss Jacob on his face, too. And when Daddy calls Jacob "Totoy", Sofia says, "Si Jacob s'ya, hindi Totoy."

I bet there will be a lot of stories to tell with Jacob's addition to the family.

Trivia: During my first tri-mester, I did not want to surf Facebook, Instagram, and blogging sites. Napaglihian ko yata. Weird! That is why I was not able to blog for a while. And when I felt better, I lost interest in blogging. However, I have more inspirations now to blog. :D

We are having major adjustments, but we are very happy that we now have Jacob. 

Live, Love, Laugh with Family!

Welcome Back, Daddy!

First time ng mga bagets na magsundo sa Daddy nila sa airport. Kahit two hours na delayed yung flight, hindi nawala excitement nila.  Buti na lang may Lego blocks sa Terminal 3. They were kept occupied during the long wait.   Sayang, di ko na sila napicture-an nung dumating si Daddy kasi pati ako naoverjoyed. :D:D:D

In Summer! Volets Hotel and Resort

Image
Hi Everyone, "Of relaxing in the summer sun, just lettin' off steam." -Olaf Sun-kissed skin. Upbeat music. Peals of laughter. A perfect summer getaway. It is my first time to visit Volets, and it did not dissapoint. Volets is a perfect swimming venue for kids and kids-at-heart (and for people who do not know how to swim like me. Learning to swim remains in my bucket list. Maybe I'll learn with Sofia. :D). There's the wave pool, the Olympic size pool, 2 kiddie pool areas, lazy river for the kids and lazy river for the adults. There's no way you can get bored, because there are many pools to switch to, and each one is different from the other. What I liked about the place are the shallow pools. I was not in constant fear for the safety of the kids. I was also able to enjoy being in the water, especially the lazy river and the falling water from the huge bucket.

DIY: Yakimix-Inspired Dinner

Image
Hi Everyone, My brother- and sister-in-law spent the weekend at our home. When Barezas get together, the unconventional things are expected to happen. :) Our family and in-laws love food. And because of this relationship with good food and love for unconventional things, our idea bulb just lit up. Presenting... our very own version of Yakimix! We took out our electric stove, put our non-stick grill pan on top, spread some oil, brought out the food for grilling... and voila!  It just cost us Php600. We had marinated chicken, marinated pork, shrimp, squid and hotdogs. It fed 5 hungry grown-ups and 3 kids. Not bad. And we had fun! This is a unique dining experience at home. Everyone can't wait to take their turn in grilling their food. We need a bigger pan. When you do this, just make sure you have a fan pointed an at open window to serve as your exhaust. It's expected to get smoke-y, and oh-so-yummy smelling. We certainly will do this again next time.  Live,...
