Hello

Hello digital world!

I started trying to do blog posts way back in 2008 but I did not published or posted anything as things happened so fast. Hopefully, I will be able to catch up.

Let's start with a summary:

January 19, 2008 -- the day I made a vow with July in front of God, my family, relatives and friends. We were already on our 6th year of being bf/gf and it's really time to tie the knot. 

 Church - Sta. Rita de Cascia Parish at Philam Homes, Quezon City
 Reception - Philam Homes Clubhouse
 Honeymoon - Boracay

April 2008 -- it was the month we knew we will soon be parents. I remember that morning so well - I requested July to buy the pregnancy kit the night before and I took the test that morning. Needless to say, we were speechless the first few minutes.

August 2008 -- time to settle now at Pasig when I got retrenched from my job. It was a tough time but thankfully, it was also the time when I felt the support of my husband and family. This was also the period when I knew who my friends really are.

December 10, 2008 (Wednesday) -- We welcomed Juliana Marie in this world at 12:23pm. I gave birth via normal delivery Delgado Hospital at QC and we were there at around 8am. I remember the day so well because coding yung lumang Vios nun but I told my father who is driving at that time that if hinarang tayo ng MMDA, sisigawan ko lang sya. My OBgyne is Dra. Clarisa Salazar who I met when I was still renting an apartment sa Novaliches.

* What I remembered when I was in labor is that I really pushed hard and right after birth I was asleep na. I did not remember hearing Juliana's cry as feeling ko I was really, really tired. When i woke up at the recovery room, my first question to the nurse is where is my daughter and sabi nga nya nasa nursery and that I will see her once I have a room. Actually, nauna pa syang makita nina mama, papa & july kesa sa akin...:-)

After 2 days at the hospital, we went home at our Pasig apartment. It was a breeze in the beginning except for the pagpaligo part coz babies are so delicate! I breastfeed the baby, July cooks - it is just me and Juliana at the house. Unfortunately, after a few days, I got very high fever and I have no choice but to go home to Binangonan at my lola's place so that someone can take care of me. With the help of Ate Sally, Ate Lerie and si Manang manghihilot, I am back in the groove after a few weeks.
