my thoughts today

-

I am so jealous! Pauline is now daddy's favorite. His apple of the eyes. Everytime he comes home from work, he carries Pauline and tells her that he misses her so much. I asked him, "What about your wife? Didn't you miss her?". LOL. Actually, I was only joking (although most jokes are half-meant, they say). I am jealous because Pauline and I didn't have any mom-and-daughter picture. Too bad, mom still looks awful with her still-bulging stomach. I've just spoken to my doctor and she says that these are my fats, the souvenir of my fondness for food during pregnancy. I will be losing it pretty soon if I breastfeed more often but Pauline feeds on the bottle more than she feeds on me. Now I'm putting pressure on my daughter. I told her that we need to help each other. I help supply her with antibodies and she helps me lose my weight. Suck baby, suck! :)

On another note, my doctor also warned me ahead that I should not be pregnant again within two to three years. After all that I went through, I don't think I would ever think of having another baby especially if I'd be 35 by then. Oh well, these are just my thoughts for now.

    Don't worry, you'll lose the tummy fat in a little bit. Mine isn't as big as it was after the baby.

    Ah, don't be jealous of the father/daughter bond---I think that comes naturally. Think of it this way, Pauline will wrap her daddy around her fingers and get WHATEVER SHE WANTS. ;)

    I was told a similar thing about future children: wait 1 yr before getting pregnant again. It's because of the C-section. The uterus needs time to heal from its incision or we risk a rupture from another pregnancy. *SIGH*

    At the same time: GREAT pic. I'm waiting to see pics of mommy & Pauline!

    yeah, i hope it goes away before i lose all that self-esteem. i still can't wear many of the clothes i own prior to pregnancy. i've succumbed to wearing pajamas in the house. and pretty soon i'll be going to work. nothing i would wear can make the bulge less visible.. geezz
    the cost of the diapers and milk would also definitely make me think twice about having another baby.
    will have our picture taken. coming soon.

the need for a dining room set

-
When I was a child, my mom used to tell me that she really believed that dreams can come true and that if I really pray and wish to have something with all of my heart, I just might get it at the right time. What she had wished for at that time was a beautiful house with an orchard. We would take a stroll together and then we would stare at the exact house that she liked and then wished long and hard for it. Even though that dream never got fulfilled during her lifetime, I believe that her dream was more than fulfilled UP there. Well, anyway, even though our house was nothing like the house that my mom dreamed about having, I still am thankful that we have settled here. My dream is for us to finally be able to make the improvements on it someday. Also, I've been wanting to get us a new Dining Room Set. I've seen the need to own one because when my in-laws or my family would come over, we could not get them properly seated during dinner time. It seems like it will take awhile

how are you holding up?

After giving birth, I must confess that some things are happening with my body that I have very little to no control of. Among other things, it seemed like my bladder could not always do its part of holding up urine a little longer than it used to. I am talking about urinary incontinence. I thought incontinence can only be experienced by the elderly or those that are already past their retirement age but I was wrong. I didn't even think that a laughter can trigger a flow from my bladder. This actually bothered me for awhile but after a few reads on the Internet and after a word from a doctor (especially), I was somehow appeased. To be honest, my urinary incontinence experience came to a point that I had to rely on these diapers and nappies for adults for awhile but after following a few exercises ( Kegel exercises) that can help strengthen the muscles in my pelvic area, I was able to manage it well. Of course, it was not like I have totally dealt with it or gotten rid of it
