Panghimagas

Then some dessert at red mango. If only there's portos here...I can't
wait for tita pipay to bring me and nat2 some portos.

Lunch @ Boom noodle

I guess the price is about right bc their serving is big.

Funny thing was, i ate my soup so fast and one of the busers(sp?)
took my bowl. Uls called our server for more water and guess what he
brought back....another bowl of my ramen. I was like 'there's a refill
for it?' LOL he thought my order didn't come all along. Darn it! If I
wasn't that full I couldve taken it. I ate some of Uls fried rice so I
was stuffed.

Good lunch tho.

Cheesecake Fantasy @ coldstone

Uls and I went to Alder Mall yesterday after dinner for a walk since
it's pouring cats and dog.

As tempted to go shopping, I left my purse at home so I don't have to
force myself to buy things that catches my eyes.

Though I ended up buying me a treat at coldstone. I even debated
between that and red mango. The latter lost.

I got me a waffle bowl like-it size of their cheesecake fantasy
signature. Oh so yummy. I was satisfied and went home.

I probably had a good 45 min walk. (sloww walk per Uls)

My Work was on TV last night...

Tito Uly and the girls...

It was sunny earlier but the clouds came in plus the cool wind brrrr...

The tres marias...

Soon Uly...

Baby Ian sleeping sooo soundly on top of Ayong-well I think he got
knocked out from the alcohol smell :P

Yes! This muchhhh...

Tita Weena sent all of this from Vegas. A box full of clothes. I
thought I'll be done with laundry but guess not...

Anyway, thanks Tita weewee...I'm sure I'll wear everything u sent.

Precious moments

Who am I?

Let's see how many titas can recognize the twins

Who am I?

The twins @ Bellevue Square

Natnat's room :)

...

We, I mean Uls, hasn't tidy the boxes from his room yet so there's
still pile of boxes in the middle of the room. Yup that's daddy Uls,
trying on his new shoes (me-eyes rolling), instead of putting the
boxes down in the garage.

Today, we placed his mobile and his bedsheets. And a few of his
cuddlies. That's pekkle who's actually our first baby :), he's been
with us for nearly 11 years. Been that long but he's still cuddly and
soft. Looks like he took over the space in the crib. Of course he
won't be there once Nat's here. He'll be on the floor - poor pekkle :(

So that's the room. Nursery-slash-computer room.

Special Treatment

I love going to babies r us bc I always have a spot for parking- in
front of the store.

But...that won't happen anymore in the next couple weeks. Wish they
have newborn parking too :P

shoreline to play bball, I've decided to go there to use their dryer
bc our dryer was broken :(

The girls were eating bfast and I saw Ylla with this shirt. She likes
to wear loose clothes at night so mama had her wear Ulysses white
shirt that she has. LOL

Alligator meat???

I was visiting mom and saw this box on their doorstep. To Tim Franco LOL. He ordered 8 lbs of alligator meat from Oklahoma for my baby shower this Saturday. Yes, the guys are more excited than we are. They'll cook in adobo and maybe deep fried it. I've had this at the Bite of Seattle last year-deep fried :).

So we'll see how it will turn out. However, I don't know if I'll have some for Natnat or not?? hehe

the picture wasn't showing at all :( let me post it back again...

Surprise Baby Shower @ work

My work threw a baby shower for me and yes I was surprised. I thought
were just celebrating St. Patty's day bec. we had potluck. Turned out
it was a shower. I was clueless!

Food was good (sorry no photos) and it was fun.

Bty, the cake was made by Amy, one of my co-worker from scratch. It's
a basic yellow cake with choc frosting and the décor is not made from
marzipan but white choc ... And yup, u can eat the baby on top - it's made
with white chocolate :)

Cotton candy for dessert @ Blue Fin

R.I.P Lolo Gimmo

Natnat's kicking!

Daddy n mommy feeling Natnat do some somersault- that's after me
eating trophys yummy cupcake 'chocolate vanilla'. They're out of the
toasted marshmallow :(

Nightmare!!!

Ulysses woke me up at 4:30 this morning b/c I was sobbing in my sleep...I had a bad dream that I had Nathanael and I was breastfeeding then next thing happened he's gone (dead)...I was going crazy and crying in my sleep, my eyes were like a river that will never dry out...I won't talk to people and all I was saying was 'My baby's gone...My baby Nathanael is gone...' over and over again...my mom and a lot of people were there too...

of course, when I woke up, I cried. I was scared and trembling...Uls was comforting and telling me it'll never happen b/c he's healthy and moving and i'm not doing anything wrong...I was just too stressed and been thinking of what happened to my co-workers bestfriend...Her friend gave birth at 24 weeks last weekend and on tues the baby passed away. That could've been stuck in my head b/c I was scared when I heard about it...he said it was just a dream....

Mommy karen, have you had bad dreams on your last trimester about your baby? I've heard it's pretty normal but man, i'm going to have a heart attack with that kind of dream. I don't like it at all...

My mom told me just to pray...and that's what I've been doing everyday anyway...

Ian flicking :P
