Meet My Baby Sister

Announcing to you the birth of my baby sister, Zoe Ysabella. She was born on July 12, 2010. I'm now a certified and proud Ate to my baby sibling. And I'm proud to say I am the one who gave her her second name, Ysabella. Zoe's name was chosen by daddy and mommy because it means Life. And I just found out that one of their favorite characters in Percy Jackson book is Zoë the huntress. Below are the pictures of my sister:

See the difference below, don't you think we look alike when we were babies?

Chloe's Announcement

Hello! I'm here again. If you're not aware of what's going on, well, I'm going to be a big sister soon! My mom will give birth on July. I don't know the date yet, maybe it might fall on July 18 --- my 7th birthday! But I will just leave that to my mom, my angel or whatevah. As long as my mom and baby sibling are healthy and safe then I will be very happy about it.

I guess this is it for now. I'll blog again soon!

This is me saying....

PEACE!!!

I Look Like Mom, I Look Like Dad

I thought of sharing these pictures of ours when we were all babies. I am fully aware about the people's comments that Chloe looks more like her dad. However, my mom would insist that Chloe resembled like me when I was still a baby, hehe. I do look very different now compared to my babyhood days. I cannot even find any traces of me except maybe for my eyes (?- duh) :p

Now, for fun of it, I would like to hear from you just by looking at these pictures (especially our dilapidated pics, hehe). Don't worry about what you're going to say in here coz I'm used to hearing it that she looks like her dad. But I am so used to hearing from Chloe, too, that she looks very much like me, hahaha :D

My Cuddly Cousin

Last weekend, my mom and I went to visit my baby cousin Clark. Oh, he is so cuddly and cute. I kept imitating baby Clark's mommy (Tita Anna) on how to take care of the baby. And since I don't have a real baby sister or brother yet - or even a baby toy doll! - I carried chicky the stuff toy like a baby and sang a song for him, too! I really had a great time that I wish to visit again tomorrow :)

Chloe Alexandra

I married at exactly 27 years old & gave birth at 28…For me, it was just the right time. And my bundle of joy came just at the right moment! Some of you moms would agree with me that pregnancy is not that easy, but at the same time, it’s a wonderful experience. The craving & the morning sickness (though I’m very lucky not to have experienced those!), the back aches, the changes in your tummy, the Braxton hicks..oh! I love those kicks my little one gave me when she was inside my tummy.

But the most beautiful of all was when I finally got to see her! Although my labor pain was really terrible…and in the end, I delivered her via caesarian. But it didn't matter, 'coz what’s more important was that I got to meet her.. and I could really say that my labor was way more painful than with the surgical procedure I went thru, or maybe I was just too excited to see her.

My baby girl was born at last! She’s the most beautiful creature I’ve ever seen. After being given a dose of anesthesia for me not to feel pain & for me to sleep, my doctor was surprised to see me still awake. She let me see my kiddo, even as I was still lying in the operating table…She was such a beautiful sight to see. She was already asleep & was kept warm, I took note of her pinkish cheeks and counted her little fingers & toes. Thank God they were complete, hehe. She’s truly God’s greatest gift to me! I couldn’t hide my tears, I just couldn't believe I was finally seeing her. She was really a sight to behold!

Chloe Alexandra…my daughter, my life and my love. I’ll always be here for you.
