LIMELIGHT

I am pissed. This is the first time Facebook disappointed me with their new software. I can’t comment, do status updates, upload pictures and even ‘like’ on statuses. I know… complaining about Facebook is the final straw for me to GET A LIFE. Harhar! HEY! I’ll be very busy in the next few days you know. *grins*

Anyway, we attended the Spring Formal Ball for my husband’s unit last May 25^th. It was a ‘ball’ but the dress I had wasn’t a ball gown. My choice, I didn’t want to spend the rest of the evening fanning my lower body. That would look scandalous! Especially when we were sitting next to the high-ranking officials. Nobody bothered. All the ladies and my husband’s colleagues’ only concern was, “When are you due?” It’s repetitive and sometimes would get annoying but they didn’t know and were too polite for me to act rudely. We posed for professional pictures but never had one inside the ballroom. It was dimly lit and for a while too embarrassing to hear the camera shutter. We did enjoy the night though. Had 2 couples and a single Captain sit with us at the dinner table. The meal was good although I had to ask for the waitress to recook my steak as it was made medium rare. As you know, pregnant women aren’t supposed to eat anything raw. ;)

Me alone pic. ;)

They LOLed.

We didn’t have any hopes of winning as we have the stuff that they had on raffle. They gave away an XBOX, we already have PS3; they gave away point and shoot camera, I have a DSLR camera; they were giving away a 32” TV, we have a 73” Mitsubishi 3D HDTV. But, my ticket won the 32” TV. Wasn’t a top of the notch brand but we were so lucky to have it specially when it had a Korean plug. We don’t need to shell out some money to buy transformer or an adaptor for it.

4 day weekend. We didn’t go anywhere. Just HOME. It was nice having some time alone with the husband considering how busy his schedule is. It had been so hard seeing him at home. The first 2 weeks of May he was inside the camp for field training. I can go and see him but he can’t go home, which breaks my heart. We don’t even sleep in one bed since my 7^th month. He’s afraid he would hurt the baby while he sleeps and me waking him up with my constant peeing. ;) So, he sleeps on the floor. Gentleman isn’t he? Or was he trying to avoid me because I’m gaining a lot of weight? Hmmmmm. LOL

We had been going to Camp Walker-Camp Carroll vice versa for the 4 day weekend. Did some random dates on the streets. Go to church and the gym. Blah. Blah. Blah.

Creamy Chicken and Mushroom Risotto

Carbonara YUM!

I bought cantaloupe, avocadoes and banana. Should make some salad with them right? Ciao! 

LESS THAN 30 DAYS!

I’m getting scared. Every pokes and hiccups I feel on my tummy, makes me feel like she’s ready to come out of this world. I’m getting scared. What if I’m not good enough? What if I make mistakes? What if I’m not fit to become a mother? At the same time I am excited. Who would she possibly look like? How would she smell? (You know babies smell really good!). Will she be a crybaby? Or someone who always smiles and eats like Santiago? (You know him from my past posts.)

On the first week of June my husband would be flying back to the US for his Doctoral Degree Program and I would be left alone for a whole week. We are trying to get my Mom over as soon as possible before the baby is born. She would be of great help and comfort, as I will recover from the delivery. And like my husband, she’s pro-natural birth ONLY, unless of course if there’s an emergency alternative. That makes his decision firmer to get my Mom back.

All I probably did while waiting for this to happen aside from taking care of the kiddies was trying to get everything for the baby. Stroller, blankets, car seat, etc., and so far I had huge help from my Mother-in-law and friends for that and I am always thankful for them. ;)

Thanks for the gifts! Karena, Marlyn, Kendra, Caitlin, Laura, Maricel, Dolores and Miraflor!

I assembled this ALONE. 

I don't have a lot of patience writing posts and probably won't have any enthusiasm for the next few weeks. I did this post randomly and without thoughts about grammar and such. I just wanted to fill something in, in case I forget. ;)
