I am the return of the work week...

October 24, 2012

Your mom went back to work on Monday this week, thus beginning the next stage of all of our lives...working, and daycare.  Consider yourself very fortunate and extremely blessed my child, because you are one of the rare few who has been lucky enough to have all of your grandparents helping out in taking care of you.  A couple of days a week with dodo and doda, and a couple of days a week with your lolo and lola.  We are so absolutely blessed to have them be close enough to watch you, and at the same time, you will get to look back on your life and see how involved they are in your life :)  It has definitely been an adjustment period so far...dealing with the fact that now we are both pretty tired at work.  But we both have something to look forward to when we get home; so we count down the minutes and the seconds so that we can get back home as fast as possible to see your beautiful, loving, adorable, innocent face.  I hope you miss us as much as we do when we're gone from you for so long...

On a side note, flu shots were given out today.  Man, I hate needles, and shots...I have to admit, it DID hurt a tiny bit, but it was over in a jiff.  One mini-embarrassing moment tho, I was wearing a long-sleeved shirt and we couldn't roll up the sleeves high enough, so I had to open my buttons and kindof take it off, good thing I was facing the wall, ha ha ha.  So hopefully, I don't feel sick like everyone said they did last year after they had their shots; I don't get sick too often, but I'm mainly doing it to help minimize my risk of exposure so that my lil one doesn't catch the flu.  I thought I had more to write today...but I'll call it quits for now...

I am daddy day care...

Yesterday, your mommy and Auntie Belle had a "treat yo'self out" day; after we all had brunch together, they went to the spa, whilst uncle Lou and I watched your cousin Emi and you for most of the day.  It was pretty cool actually having the two of you guys together; we even switched for a while, so I got to carry Emi for a bit, while uncle Lou carried you.  Your moms needed the day out; I seem to take it for granted that, although they love you VERY VERY much, that moms end up having to spend most of their time with the kids, and don't get too much of a break.  Which is why they got their day out yesterday...it's not that they need to be away from you...because who would want to be away from your adorable little face?  It's just that there are things she cannot usually do if she has you; like go to the spa.  So that day was for her, and i'm pretty sure there'll be more days like that to come.  It's nice on our part too, because we get to spend some QT with our lil ones.  Of course I'm speaking in the collective here, but I'm not sure if everyone is on the same thought pattern as me.  So I'll change it to the singular...but yah, it was awesome.  You slept most of the time, but you did grace me with a monster bowel movement, he he he.  Just kidding...well, no, not kidding, but I'm kidding that that's all you did.  You interact with us much more now...you even started laughing recently.  Hearing it for the first time, oh man, it was simply exhilarating, it melted our hearts.  It's hard to explain just how much we love you.  It's like falling in love again every single morning when I wake up and watch you sleeping before I get ready for work.  If times were different, and the economy was booming, and well, if we won the lottery, I would opt to stay home with you all day long.  But alas, such are not the times, and we have to do what we can to provide for your future.  So off to work I go, but always counting down the minutes until I get home to you and your mom.  :)  

Schedules are much different than they've been as of late.  It's been harder to do our daily prayers at night lately...not only with the addition of the lil one, but the season is changing and it's definitely affected our habits, plus, I think we have just not been as diligent about it.  Bun tried to set an alarm, but I think it was happening much too late; we are more tired lately and we have to focus on getting it done earlier.  Just like with our other chores and stuff, they haven't been getting done, so just gotta try harder, and just try to set it to a schedule.  

I am the next quarter...

Didn't get to post this yesterday...friggin internet was down til past midnight pretty much...friggin Charter, but that's for another post, ha ha ha....

You turned 3mos today!  We can't believe it's come so quick already, and you are already SO big!  When your mom or I hold you, you definitely take up more space than you did before :)  It's crazy how fast it's going by.  I swear, it seems like only yesterday we were cleaning up from the baby shower and then boom, you came into the world...and now, it's a full quarter later!  We took you out and had some DJ's Binbinkahan and had some pancit, as is our tradition for bday celebrations.  And then met up with your ninang Jane and Mike, who just got married this past weekend.  Oh yes, you laughed for the first time while you were awake!  It was completely out of the blue and totally melted our hearts!  You smile all the time at us and it really just makes our day.  Hopefully now that the weather is cooling down, we can go for more walks together; so far, it's just been your mom taking you in the mornings before it gets too warm.  You're gettin big so fast, soon you'll be WALKING with us!  But let's not get ahead of ourselves...just let us hold you and squeeze you and give you a million hugs and kisses for now :)  

It's been a crazy week so far; big big wedding for Jane and Mike, like I previously mentioned.  It was beautiful, and the bride and groom pulled out all the stops, including a surprise Gangnam -style and Dirty Dancing routine to set off the night!  Couldn't be happier for those two, and they're now part of our club!  ha ha ha.

Lots to do, lots to do, and there's always something new to deal with; the latest being that my driver's side rear window is stuck and I have to take it in to get it fixed...argh.  Oh well, deep breath...just keep swimming, right?
