the canDIshhh tales

When I got pregnant I was so asking every mommy friend of mine to give me a baby checklist.  Most friends were clueless - but some were very organized and sent me a list.  I've read all of them and I loved them so much.  They helped me!  So when I had a friend who asked me to give her a list, well - OC/Organized mode set it and I was typing like crazy.  I know if you read through the list, you'd say I'm very OA (Over Acting) with some of the things, but well - its MY list, so.... Let me be OA.  Indulge me please! My friend Shen - you inspired me to share this list of mine.  Thank you!  See you soon with baby CC!! Please keep in mind that this is only meant as a guide.  Your needs may be different than mine, so you can just take what you need and cross out what you don't. In case you'd like a copy, shoot me an email with title BABY CHECKLIST PLEASE so I can send you the file. Hope this was helpful!!

You guessed right - I just gave birth last week to a beautiful baby girl, and that's why I've been out of the loop.  The journey has been unbelievable, I still can't believe that I'm a mom now, I still feel the same, I still think the same - the only difference is that, I have a new love - my Baby K.   I sleep less now because I breastfeed, but I don't mind - it's good for her, and anything good for her - I will do.  I can't believe I am saying these things.  But seriously having a baby really changes you - one way or another.  I've never seen my Panget so attentive to anyone (well he was with me on our wedding day!) as he is with K.  He loves touching her, smelling her and he talks to her every so often!  He's soooooo in love with her!  And it makes me so happy to see him like that! Going back - I actually didn't know I was already in labor, when I was.  So here goes my birthing story!  I am warning you, I may give too much i...

Last night at my friend's child's birthday party - I did the unthinkable. I ate a slice of chocolate cake! Yes, for those who know me, I do not like the taste of chocolate.  But somehow yesterday, I had this urge to buy a chocolate cake, thus I bought Polly's Chocolate cake.  Then, at my friend's party - I had a taste of the chocolate cake served there.  Fran who was sitting beside me was shocked!  hahaha.. When I got home - the urge was still there, thus I cut a slice of Polly's chocolate cake and munched on it while watching a few episodes of The Mentalist.  I enjoyed eating the cake immensely saying that it has got to be the best chocolate cake I have tasted.  I was actually tempted to get another slice but, then I thought I might not be able to sleep because of the sugar high. A few minutes later, I felt a little weird.  I knew something was off because I was uneasy and feeling queasy.  My stomach was grumbling slowly - which prompted...

I am suddenly craving for SIZZLING FOOD! This started because I made my Panget an Angus Hamburger dinner on a sizzling plate last Sunday!  After tasting the sizzling gravy, I couldn't help but crave for more! The other day, I had a Pepper Lunch craving..  ( Calling Fran & Sabbie! )  I remember my Chicken and Beef Pepper Rice!! My FIRST ever Pepper Lunch - Chicken Pepper Rice... LOOOOOOOOVED it!! Now, I'm just craving for ANYTHING sizzling!!! Image borrowed from THIS site The cravings are maddening!!!!!   I mean, I crave - yet when I get to eat what I have been craving for...  Turns out, blah..   Crazy tastebuds!! 

Singlish?  Well, I translated it literally from:  Pedicure? Pwede! I have friends who have warned me againsts having my pedis done.  They say that there might be chemicals that can be harmful to the baby.  To be honest, I was sad - because, I hate cutting my toe nails!  It's my every two week 'me-time' when I go to my suking nail salon. Lo and behold! I got this in my email!! I am thrilled!! Yahoooooooo!!
