Hi everyone, Happy memorial day to all of you. Hope you have a fine day celebrating it. About me, we cooked out our Brats, chickens and corn. That was good and we celebrated the memorial day just fine and peaceful. Now I just wanna post small because I am so tired. I've been playing here on the computer a long time so I wanna say bye for now, goodnight and enjoy your holiday.

May 27th, 2007

We went to church today. We thanked God for the blessings he gave to us. God made our family complete and more happy now. I am so content for what we have now and I couldn't ask for more. The service in Church was good and we liked it. I was surprised to hear when my husband said he liked their service today because he usually doesn't like and becomes boared to their services. He likes the worship music most of all but thinks the preacher is boring sometimes. But today miracle he likes it hehehe. Anyway, after church we went shopping we bought a few things that we need for our ceiling, also we bought steak, and two pretty night gowns for Sarah. We just did a small shopping today because, we don't want Sarah to be tired. We already wore her out yesterday when we went shopping lol. We bought Sarah a dress and two outfit for Aaron and a hat yesterday. Anyway, we cooked steak tonight for dinner. After we got home and that was very tasty. It was very tender and good. I think that it was the best steak we bought yet from Sam's store. I am really full right now and don't think I want to eat something else after we ate the steak. Too bad I couldn't take pictures of our steak to share it to you. But that's ok maybe some other time I can. Well guys, this is it for now. Have a good memorial day.

" Its a boy "

= Heres Aaron ultrasound pictures =


Hi everyone, we just got home from the ultrasound test and I have good news to tell you. At last we know the sex of our second baby and it is a boy. We are so very happy and thankful to God for giving us a boy this time. God is good and wonderful. He answered all our prayers to give us a boy this time and we are so grateful to him. Anyway, the technician said that the heartbeat of our baby is 152 per minute. She said the baby's heartbeat is always faster than ours. He is twenty one weeks now and he weights 1.3 pounds. He looks good and healthy as well. Actually, the technician had troubles seeing everything because he was always active and moving a lot lol. But, we got some pictures of him and I'll share it with you guys so that you can see him. Oh my God we are so very happy that we have a girl and a boy now. Our family is more complete now and happy. Thanks God.
Now that we already know the sex of our baby, we can start shopping for everything he may need. Tomorrow we are going to town again to shop for Sarah and for Aaron Roger. By the way, we named our second baby Aaron Roger. Before, I said we are going to name him Aaron David but now we changed it. It's gonna be Aaron Roger instead. I got the name Aaron from my name but I just reversed it in spelling and it's double A hehehe. Then, we got the name Roger from my husband. He recommended it to me that we name him Roger instead of David. Well, I think this name is a beautiful name and we're glad we picked it. OK guys, until next time c u and have a good coming weekend.

" My husband's surgery "

At last the time for waiting to have his hand surgery is over. He got home this afternoon with his hand in a bandage. He said the surgery wasn't painful because they gave him anestetic and numbed his hand. He has three stitches and a splint and its all wraped in a big bandage. I am glad his hand surgery went well and it won't be numb anymore after a few days. Actually, he said he's in a little pain right now but they gave him some pills to help the pain. He will return to the doctor on june 6th and they will remove the stitches in two weeks after that he will rehab his hand for at least six weeks until he can return to work. After that his hand problem should be over and the numbness gone. Oh guys, tomorrow is friday and you know what? I'm going to have an ultrasound to check the sex of our baby and we are so very excited to know if it's a boy or girl. Don't worry guys I will tell you exactly the results of my ultrasound tomorrow afternoon. Ok bye and goodnight... c u tomorrow.

" Today is a hot day as yesterday "

= These are my flowers that came back from last year =


It's hot weather now so I'm always going outside everyday to water my flowers and vegetables so that they will grow. I am afraid they will die if I don't water them everyday. In fact, I'm watering them everyday but they still look dry and thirsty. I'm just hoping that they will live and grow.

Also, I like the hot weather because its like Philippines weather lol. Actually, I always like to go out and do something during summer. It is so very boaring if I just stay inside the house sitting and watching Sarah's playing and do nothing all day. I need to excercise and I like to take a walk to excercise my legs. Sometimes if I can't take a walk my legs will become numb and hurt badly and I feel bad when that happens. That's why I'm taking a walk everyday although just a few minutes after watering my gardens. Anyway, my husband's appointment for his hand surgery is gonna be tomorrow morning. I wish and hope that everything is gonna be ok for him. ok Guys untill next time. Take care and God Bless.

" 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.
