" Here's some new pictures "

Sarah is 11 months old. She looks so cute and pretty isn't she? We love her so much and we are so blessed and proud to have her.



This is Roger's friend and his girlfriend holding Sarah. We got these pictures at their house after we ate dinner together. I couldn't take pictures before dinner because I lost our camera and couldn't remember where I put it. Luckily my husband Roger found it under Sarah's car seat after we ate dinner. I had to get the pictures then after we ate. I am glad he found the camera and we were able to take some pictures for me to post. Ok guys enjoy.

" Some Picture we got "

" I have planted all my vegetables, corn and flowers

Last few days I have been very busy planting all my vegetables, corn and flowers. We have two gardens, one for flowers and the other for vegetables. I am glad we have a vegetable garden and flower garden going now. I know its easy just to buy vegetables in the store but it's much better if we have a vegetable garden and eat fresh right? At last I am done planting. All I'm doing now is watering them everyday so that they won't die because of the very hot weather here sometimes. Since yesterday until now it's a little cold here maybe because we just got rains on Tuesday strange how the weather can change so much this spring. You know it's gonna be summer soon and I like summer because I don't like the cold weather and I can always go out the house, go shopping and we also cook out every weekend. During winter time I hated it because I can hardly go out the house to do what I want like shopping. I am so afraid to go out in the cold when I'm pregnant. Now, I think it's my time to be out always and enjoy as much as I can with this warm pretty weather. It's really a little cold in here today but not too bad. My husband's friend envited us to come over to there house at maybe 5:00pm tonight to cook and have dinner with them. So we will go there for sure hehehe. It's been a long time now that we haven't seen each other and I'm sure they want to see and play with Sarah. I going to bring our camera to take some pictures to post maybe in my next post ok? Good bye for now and have a good day. Talk with you in my next post.

On Friday we went to the Doctor to have my prenatal check up...

On Friday we went to the Doctor to have my prenatal check up. We listened to the heart beat of our baby and as usual it sounds good and strong. About my weight I gained a lot I gained nine pounds. I was only one hundred one and now I weight one hundred ten. I am glad I'm able to gain a lot of weight now compared to before. As you know I was vomitting a lot and had trouble gaining weight. I am so happy and thankful for this second pregnancy for not having a lot of trouble gaining weight and vomitting. I admit I'm still vomitting or become car sick this time but thankfully just sometimes. In fact, I have been vomitting on Sunday night for a few hours. It was terrible. I vomit every few minutes. First I vomit the Foods I just ate and then after that I just vomit all water but bitter taste yaks. Then I felt my body become weak when I was vomitting. My neck and back feel pain. I don't know what was the thing cause me to vomit. Anyway after the Doctor's appointment we went to town to shop. Again we went to Pilipino store to buy some things I needed. I couldn't believe I spent more than fourty seven dollars for it. It was my first time to spend that much money in Pilipino store. But, it doesn't matter the important thing is I got all the stuff I wanted. Afterwards we went to eat dinner in Ryans Restaurant and went back home after.
On Saturday we went shopping again in walmart after in walmart we went to Red lobster to have lunch. That was expensive but their foods are good and we like it. We like going to Red lobsters Restaurant but just sometimes because its so expensive. After eating we went to Walgreens store to buy a few things we needed and last we went to IGA store to send money by western union for my parents, then we came back home to spend the rest of the day at home.
On Sunday we woke up early in the morning to go to church. We attended the second service and that was good. Actually they have a few new songs that we use to sing in our church too in Philippines and we liked it. I love the new songs they got like ours in Philippines because I knew how to sing it hehehe. As usual we left Sarah in the nursery and we picked her up after church and went back home. After we got home my husband went back to IGA store in the town where we live to get some things cause I was so tired at the other store I just asked him to send the money then bring me home. Hahaha this time my post seems like we did nonstop shopping this last weekend lol. Anyway, we cooked steak on the grill outside Sunday afternoon for our dinner. But, before that I ate beef and noodles and rice for lunch and then strawberries. That was all I ate and I wasn't sure which one of the food I ate made me to vomit. But,anyway it's over now and I'm not vomtting now. So I'm happy and thanked so much to God.
We have our ultrasound test soon on May 25 so I hope we can know the sex of our baby on that day and I will tell you all for certain the sex of our baby. We are hoping for a boy this time. Well thats all for now. Have a nice day to everyone.

" Last weekend "

I had a very boaring weekend. Whole week I couldn't go out to do something like shopping or eating outside. It was a very nice day warm and windy. But what a waste I couldn't go out to do something. I like to do something every weekend because that's the only days I can go shopping with my husband and go to church during Sunday. But sometimes we can't go to church because my husband will become very busy. This last weekend I had to stay home cause my husband had to drive his father to St. Louis for two doctor appointments. Imagine he's working five days a week and he has only two days to stay home and relax and that's Saturday and Sunday. He's working two jobs. The one is day time and the other is night time. I know it's too hard for him to work two jobs because after he works in his day time job he has only 1 hour to relax and then go to his night time job. But luckily he don't need to work in his night time job until last week of May. Because of his one hand is numb and they give him some time to relax until they do surgery on his hand. This coming summer the Schools will be close so his day time job will be over then. Anyway, he is working at Urbanna Schools as school security . Well that's good because maybe after they do surgery on his hand he will come back to his night time job but at least his day time job will be over this coming summer and back again on fall.

My Father in Law had his eye surgery and it got infection in it so my husband took him to Saint. Louis on Saturday to have his eye check up. He drove three hours to go there and three hours to go back home. When they got home my husband became too tired and all he did is just watched Tv for a while and afterwards he went to bed to sleep. Too bad they came back there again on Sunday and we couldn't go to church because of it. It spoiled his whole weekend. His legs became sore last night when they got home. He can hardly walk or sleep cause of the soreness of his legs. Maybe because of the long drive and long time sitting down inside the car. We don't know exactly what was wrong but thankfully he was able to sleep and the pain of his legs went away. So today he went to work.

What a nice day too today warm and windy. So Me and Sarah went outside the house. We took a walk for twenty or thirty minutes not long ago. I think she likes too if I'm taking her outside or her Gandpa to take a walk. I can see from her reactions. When she see's the stroller she's acted like she wanna ride with it and go hehehe. She was really enjoying outside, so am I. Now she's sleeping so I'm able to write this. Well everyone, bye for now. Take care and enjoy the nice weather.

We bought a new TV

On last saturday we went shopping for a TV and other things. First we went to the Pilipino store to buy a few things we needed. I boughto frozen ripe bananas (saba), cassava suman or alope, native rice cake and some nooddles. Oh man, I miss Pilipino foods but I can't go back to Philippines right now for a visit because as you know I'm pregnant with our second baby and Sarah is not big enough for me to leave her here when I go visit to philippines. Well I guess I just need to wait untill our second baby will be born and they become big.

Next we went to Kohls store to shop for clothes. I bought three things, a gorgeous night gown, a short dress and just some socks for Sarah. I couldn't find any good stuff for her. They had a lot of choices there but I thought they were not to pretty, lol. I like to shop in Kohls store though because I can find cheaper prices there sometimes, hehehe. While I was shopping in Kohls store my husband went to diferrent stores to find and check the prices of the TV. I think he went to 3 or 4 stores. He spent a lot of time shopping for a Tv and he said he enjoyed it. When he found the Tv he likes he called me and told me about it. I said ok that's good I wanna see it. So he came back to Kolhs store to pick me up and Sarah then we went back together to Sam's store. He showed me the Tv he picked and oh it's pretty cool TV I tell you. We both like it so we bought it immediately on that day. It's a flat screen TV, 1080 HD, LCD. It worth 2,700 dollars. Very expensive but if we want a very nice TV this is how much we need to spend, hehehe. Well we are very happy to have it and glad we bought it.

Anyway we went shopping at the Mall yesterday. In JC penney they had sales also Macy's but I wasn't able to shop in Macy's yesterday because I just focused myself to shop in JC penney and went to the food court to eat lunch after shopping. Yesterday I found a good pretty dress with a better price. I bought her four pairs of cloths with the price of $6.49 and $6.99 each. I think it was a good deal for pretty brand new clothes. We had to go back to the mall today because we had to return one of Sarah's dress outfits that was missing the shorts. I took some time to shop for another outfit for Sarah and found and even better deal on shorts with two shirts for 5.99. My husband liked it too so we bought it. Then we went to Macy's store but all I found there to buy were some new head bands. There prices were not as good as JC Penny this week. I try to buy Sarah's cloths on sale if possible because she grows out of her cloths so fast and we have to buy again and again. OK guys this is all for now. Take care and Have a good one.

" I had a bad night on friday "

I had a bad night on friday. Imagine, I fell down in our bedroom. The reason I fell down was I went to the bathroom to get cold medicine and when I came back I couldn't notice that I was going to the side of our bed. The lights was off because we don't turn it on during night time. It was dark and it was like I'm dreaming or I wasn't in my mind while I was walking LOL. When I step on our bed I fell down directly to the floor. Luckily I didn't have miscarry and the baby is fine. I was not bleeding or anything. It was just my toe nail cut and bleeding. I was shaking and crying afraid perhaps I might lose or hurt our baby. But we we're so very happy and thanked God for Saving me and our baby. I couldn't feel any pain in my stomach after I fell as a sign that I need to go to the doctor to have a check up. It was only my big toe that was cut and bleeding. So we didn't go to the Doctor as we believe that the baby is just fine inside my stomach after all.

What a nightmare it was. Plus my cold and cough came back. We were all healed from our cold last time and we were glad it was over but the bad thing it came back to me and Sarah. First Sarah got a cold and cough and I got mine from her I think maybe because I'm the one who always taking care of her and with her. I was drinking a tylenol to help get rid my cold and maybe cough. But now I'm drinking a Tylenol cold since my husband Roger bought it for me. Thankfully it helps me a lot. My cold is better and my sinus is getting dry. But my cough is still bothering me. Anyway, about Sarah her cold and cough is about to go way now too I hope.

On sunday we were planning to go to church especially it was Easter sunday. I want so much to witness to their activities during this time. But for one thing we couldn't go there in Church because me and Sarah have cold and cough also my toe nail was painful to walk. Then I don't wanna go there just to disturb them with my caughing when I'm barking loud in church, lol. We attended last week and it was such a nice service. ok untill next time. Have a good day.

" We went to our Doctor "

We went to our doctor in Mahomet Carle clinic on Friday to have my prenatal check-up together with Sarah's well baby. The Doctor did a popsmear on me and checked the heart beat of our baby. We listened to the heart beat and it sounds good and strong. So that's good. They gave us the appointment for our second ultrasoud. It will be in June 8th. It makes us very excited to know the sex of our baby so that we can start shopping, hehehe, for his/her clothes and etch. We wish and hope it's a boy now but if not there's nothing we can do just accept God's will. Either boy or girl that is fine. Anyway about Sarah she is fine and healthy as well. She's growing big like she should. But she couldn't gained a lot of weight though because she is so active now. She is almost 19 pounds now. But the Doctor said that's natural though they stop gaining a lot of weight sometimes but after that they just grow big rapidly like magic lol. Well I think I believe that cause I'm feeding her right and a lot.I'm feeding her three times a day Breakfast,launch and dinner. I'm using formula,rice cereal and sauce like apple sauce,Banana sauce,peach,pears and others. But she couldn't gained a lot of weight and I'm wondering why but just like the Doctor say after that they just grow fast that you don't even think about it. By the way when I was waiting in the lab to have my blood test on friday the one nurse approached to me and asked me if she can hold Sarah for a while so I said yes why not. She likes Sarah so much she said she's so cutie and sweet. In fact she's not the only one who likes her but many of them. I know and see everytime we go there they just couldn't stop themselves playing with Sarah heheh. I think it's funny sometimes the girls will make a funny action or look on their face just because of the baby. Anyway we were all sick last week, my husband became sick first and then me and Sarah next on saturday. My husband is almost over it now but I'm still sick. Oh let me tell you one thing that very interesting when Sarah became sick on Saturday she had cold and it was like she run with fever because she was a little hot and we were planning to go to church but I wasn't very sure cause she was sick . I talked to her even she doesn't know how to speak yet I said Don't worry Sarah God will heal you and certainly she healed automaticaly tomorrow morning on Sunday . So we went to the church without hessitating. I was so very happy and thanked God for the miracle he gave to sarah. And in the church we left her in the church nursery where's the ladies or other people will taking care of your baby while you attend to their service. I am glad she didn't cry when we hand her to the girl and left. She didn't cry the whole time we were in worship. When we came back after worship to get her she was in the walker playing. The girl who gave her back to us said that she likes bouncing hehehe. We said Yes she likes bouncing because that's what she does at home when we put her in the walker. Also she now always wants to play all day without taking a nap she is fine just to play. But I'm always taking chances to put her in her crib or in our bed to take a nap even I'm not sure that she will take a nap. If she won't take a nap I pick her up again and put her back in her playpen or in walker to play. oh it makes me to worry for her if she won't take a nap and just wanna play all day. Maybe all parents have problems getting there young children to take there naps on time. Ok till next time. Have a good day.

" On March 19th

On March 19th we went to the Carle Clinic in Urbana to have an ultrasound for our second baby. Just to check the age of our baby. We saw our baby on the screen of the ultrasound he/she was sitting up also moving and he/she is still very small. But the lady told us our baby is three months old and 2 days yesterday. Also after she checked or measured our baby she said that everything is ok and normal as well. We are glad to hear that and to see our baby. It was fun and exciting for us. She couldn't tell about the sex of our baby though because it's too early yet according to her to know the sex. She said ninteen weeks old before they can tell or know about the sex of the baby. Well it's ok we just need to go back there to have our second ultrasound eventually. Anyway we went to have lunch after we are done with my ultrasound. And Sarah was misbehaving in the Restaurant while we were eating lunch so I couldn't finish eating with my food. I picked her up from the high chair and held her with the thought she will be quiet after I pick her up,but I was wrong because she didn't stop crying, lol. I tried to feed her and then she became quiet for a while but after that she cried again. I knew she was sleepy and wanted to take a nap, We left to go to our car because there was no place to sleep for her in the restaurant except when she fell asleep in our arms while holding her. So I gave her to her Dad and she didn't cry after all. Anyway we just took out the rest of our foods we didn't eat because in fact I wasn't done eating with my food and I liked it. So I did finish eating the rest of my food when we got home. But before that we went shopping for a while just in one store. We bought a new outfit for Sarah a jacket and shorts. Also foods for her and water. About Sarah she's nine months old now and she knows already how to crawl,and talked a few words. Also standing but she needs something to hold so that she can pull herself up and stand and then she can walk slowly while she's standing in her playpen or in her crib. She still learning it right now but I think soon she'll be walking. Well guys I think this is it for now. Take care and have a good day. Also thanks for visiting here. I appreciate it so much.

On Valentines Day

On Valentines day it went well for me although we didn't go out. We stayed home because it was snowing hard and very windy. Maybe it was boring to stay home but it was bad timing for us to go out and do things like shopping or go eat with Sarah. We really don't like to bring her outside with this cold weather unless she has an appointment to go to the Doctor. We don't like her to be cold. I think it's not a good idea to bring the small baby like Sarah outside with the freezing weather. Maybe this is why they can catch cold or flu sometimes in the cold weather. We're just so very careful to her as our baby we love her so much and we like watching her grow up. We exchanged gifts, my husband gave me a valentines bracelet and I gave him a valentines frame. He said he wanted to buy more gifts for me on valentines day but it was bad weather and I told him not to go out just to buy me more gifts,you already have one gift for me it's enough. We bought our valentines gift in advance maybe one week before valentines day hehehe because there was a sale for valentines day in the Christian store. We went there and bought the gifts .We just bought a couple of things in there cause they don't have a lot of things we like. Anyway about Sarah she's eight months old now and she's doing great. She started crawling now and started learning a few words. She can say Mama, dada already but it still just a baby talk. By the way I saw her stand up three times now in her crib and one time in her playpen. First time I saw her stand up in her crib she fell down and banged her head. She cried so I picked her up and comforted her till she became quite she didn't cry a lot just for a few minutes. That was a bad thing that happened to her when she banged her head. I don't like it. I hated it when it happened. I couldn't help her when she banged her head cause it was so quick and I was not very close in her crib to help her immedialtely. I can see she's not strong enough to stand up but she's learning it now. Maybe it won't be long before she can walk. Anyway my husband says all kids fall sometimes when their first learning to walk.

On February 19th we came back to the Dentist to finish removing my cavities. I had five cavities in my teeth according to the Dentist and he said he wanna remove the three first and two more next time we come back there. First they numb it so that I can't feel pain when they remove my cavities. When they start removing my cavities for the first time I was afraid perhaps they gonna break my teeth but no they didn't break. They were so very careful working with my teeth. I'm sure they don't want to have a bad records by breaking my teeth hehehe just kidding. While they were removing my cavities I couldn't feel any pain but when they stick the needle in my gum oh man it was the worst thing they did to me yaks. I came back there in the Dentist office for two times cause they couldn't remove my five cavities in one appointment. The second time I came back there I was not afraid because I knew and I experienced already what happened. They removed my cavities. But I am glad it's over now and my teeth are all fixed. All we have to do is go there two times per year to have our teeth cleaned. Well guys I think I wanna end up now my message. You all take care and May God Bless you. Also I wanna thank you for reading my post.

On Jan.27th

On Jan.27th I had a pregnancy test because I wanted to verify that I'm pregnant. I know my menstruation didn't come on last month and then I felt bad or nausous every morning,Im always spitting up,and sometimes I feel like I'm gonna vommit. I knew I'm pregnant because of the morning sickness I feel everyday,and when I tried the pregnancy test to make sure if I'm pregnant "Yes" no doubt the result was possitive I am pregnant for our second baby. It's 1 month and 1 week now.I am not very ready to be pregnant to our second baby because I was afraid to what happened to me before when I was pregnant of Sarah. I was vommitting a lot,it was everyday and even at night I suffered vomitting for four months before. oh what a night mare it was. Just forget it I don't wanna remember about it huh. I don't want to vommit again never. I hate vomitting. Anyhow my husband was very excited to know if I'm pregnant to our second baby,he likes me to be pregnant again hehehe and yes he succeed to what he wants. Well I agreed too to be pregnant even if I am not very ready to be pregnant. Because otherwise we wants our baby's to be close in their age to each other. We're hoping that it's a boy. Anyway, this my second pregnancy is different than Sarah before cause I'm not vomitting and I am very happy about it,I'm happy for having no more problems with this pregnancy ,just my headache sometimes. But no problem I'm sure I can handle it. We're planning to name our baby Aaron David if it's a boy and maybe Dianna Michelle if it's a girl but we're not very sure yet to name her Dianna Michelle we might change it or maybe not. Maybe you'll think I'm so funny hehehe but that's ok. Ok guys ah thanks for reading. So long, take care and may God Bless you...

January 15th,2006

We woke up very early in the morning at 7:00Am on that day. I was so very sleepy and I didn't wanana wake up yet.I wanted to sleep more especially I slept late that night, but because of our Dentist appointment I insisted to wake up that early to take shower and get dress.After I took shower and got dress I dress Sarah and we left home. We didn't even eat breakfast before we left at home because we were huriedly and my husband Roger doesn't want us to be late on our appoinment.We have a cavities in our teeth that needs to be remove I have five cavities and my husband have one.I don't even know that I have these cavities in my teeth if we didn't go to the Dentist here.I have never been in the Dentist even once before when I was single.I have never-never think to take care of my teeth before.I'm glad I'm able to taking care of it now.

When we arrived there there was no a lot of people or patient . Actually there was only one patient there and after him we were the next.I was thier first called so I went first.The Dentist got my three cavities finished and he said he gonna take my two more cavities next time when we come back there.huh huh huh it was ouch they stick niddle in my gum two times to numb my teeth it was the worst thing they did to me.After me my husband him wasn't take so long cause he has only one cavities to be remove and after his we went back home and take a nap.We wanted to eat but we couldn't eat cause our teeth and gum was still numb and when we eat only the one side can feel the taste but the other side was insensible.But after two hours or more we were able to eat cause everything came back to natural.I'm glad they got my three cavities already and only two cavities left in me and it will be for the next time we come back there.ok guys so long.Take care and have a great day to everyone.

" The time goes so quick "

Imagine I just gave birth to Sarah on june 20th,2006,and now she's almost seven months old. We just started giving her a baby food last few months. Oh boy, she doesn't like it much, she cries when I feed her and she's fighting against me. She doesn't seem to like the taste of the plain rice cereal so we asked the assistant of her Doctor last time we went there if she can eat another kind of baby food like apple sauce, bananas or sweet potato's and she said yes but just mix it with the rice cereal. I'm glad it seems she likes it better than just plain rice cereal.

Sarah will be seven months old this coming January 20th, 2007. She is still too young to know and understand things around her. She don't even know how to crawl very well yet but she's learning it now and she can crawl a little when she tries to do it. But she knows how to roll over now as well. Actually she's sleeping in bed with us I put her next to me and there's a gap like 2o inch between us. I tell you she has a lot of energy to roll over to come to us she wants to bother us while we're trying to sleep ha ha ha. Also she's making a lot different noise sometimes she's screaming too. And oh my God when she screams it's so loud and if you're not paying attention to her she'll cry. I know she just wants attension always. But you know guys it's like she's talking now, I guess she just talking a baby talk and I heard not only one time but many times sounds like she said Mama.I tell you she's a pretty good baby and we're so blessed and happy to have her in our life. Ok guys, I think this is all for now take care and may you all have a great happy weekend. Also I wanna say thanks a million to you all who have left a message in here.I really appreciate it so much.
