Hi, Leslie here! 20-ish weirdo, coffee dependent.

[lescali-blog1]

I'm so thankful for my in-laws for insisting to take care of Ladi so we can watch the most awaited movie. Hehe. We originally planned to bring her(Ladi) inside the movie house kaso hassle naman yun sa iba. Lalo ngayong laging mainit ulo ni batingting(Ladi). Haha. Napakamainipin pa naman.

So much luck may seats pa kaming nakuha sa SM North, sobrang biglaan kasi nung magaya sila. Dapat nga sa Trinoma kami kaso ang may available na seats na lang ay 1AM pa. Haha. Meant to be talaga na mapanood na namin ang Avengers: Endgame last Sunday. And my heart was so happy and excited nung una... but then we left the cinema broken hearted and shocked and speechless. Sabi nila nakakaiyak daw, di naman nila sinabing hahagulgol ako. Hays.

If you haven't seen the film, I suggest that you go and watch it now! Don't forget to bring some tissue, wag mo na ding balaking magdala ng food kasi di ka makakakain ng maayos sa loob. Lalamig lang yung pagkain kaya kain ka na lang bago manood. Also expect mo na madami pa ding movie-goers esp Pay-day & Labor Day tomorrow. Haha.

Wazzuuup?! MIA for 7 months and here we go again. This is still the safest place for me to write and blab and rant and drop anything that's bothering me. But let's stick to that positive vibes that running down my veins right now! Hee hee!

Yes, welcome back to me! I am so excited to share you guys my life as a mother, a parent and as a WIFE!!! Yes I am married for 6 months now. Naks naman talaga noh!

Ladi's growing fast! The last time I posted here, she was only a month old and now she's already 8 months! Still a cutie little monster, sure she did get the height from me! LOL.

[lescali-blog1]

Say hello to my Ladi! Oh, how time flies! This lovey is a month old now. A month full of dirty and wet diapers but definitely one of the most wonderful days of my life! This little girl is two times heavier now from her birth weight. She loves talking to her papa and loves snuggling with me! She’s starting to give us smiles more and more every day and that makes me excited all the more every day!

Cheers for making our lives more meaningful! We love you so much, munchkin. 💕

IT'S A GIRL!!!

Yes! We couldn't be more any happier finding out it's a girl! And of course, the Papa of my little angel is more ecstatic than ever! At first, he wanted to have a baby boy, but then a sudden change of heart (hahahahaha!), he wants it to be a girl. Just so he could call her as his little princess.

Everyone was having their own guess of what my baby would be. Many was rooting for a boy and I also felt that it's going to be a little boy because I suddenly have those dark lines under my pits and there are some zits growing around my back. But aside from that everyone's giving me a remark of how fresh and glowing I look which made me confused and frustrated at the same time coz Ladi didn't show her little flower during the first ultrasound.

We were so excited that we went back to the clinic earlier than the scheduled date for the gender follow up and fortunately, she finally decided to open up her legs and voila! We didn't even take more than five minutes inside the ultrasound room. It's amazing how she listened to our plead to open her legs up so we can find out what her gender really is.

UPDATE!

How far along? I'm on my 32nd week today.

Days until due date? 8 more weeks to go!

Weight change? I gained a total of 17lbs. I started to gain weight during my 2nd-trimester.

Stretch marks? Unfortunately yes. Below my belly and my bum bum.

Cravings? Banana Q.

Sleep? suffering right now from pregnancy insomnia. Imagine sleeping around 3 am and waking up at 6 am.

Movement? Likot ever!!! But I can tell now that she's shy around people she's not familiar with. Hahaha.

Best moment this week? Going home to Manila and the gifts for Ladi!!!

Best style moment this week? Nah! I'm too lazy to dress up and be a cutie.

Worst moment this week? Hmm... When Russel and I had a little tampuhan. Ayaw niya kasi ko pansinin kapag gumagalaw si baby, eh. :(

Looking forward to? Giving birth! Hahaha. I just can't wait.

Mood? I'm too emotional and sensitive lately. Pregnancy hormones I guess.

Sunday Currently #2

We were doing fine pa after the ultrasound results but surprise, surprise! Something bad came up and i opted not share anything unless everything is okay na. Nothing to worry about the baby and me. Russel and I were just having a hard time dealing with life right now. Nakakastress lang thinking about it. Mapapabuntonghininga ka na lang din talaga ng malalim. But sure, it's just a phase that we need to get through, you know. And writing this down is a breather for me. Hehehe. Kapit lang. :)

• Reading articles about mommyhood

• Listening to Mozart's. hehehe.

• Thinking of you! charot.

• Smelling

• Wishing for a miracle. Sobrang stressed lately

• Hoping that everything will fine at the end of the day. not losing hope. iyak lang pero never give up. :)

• Wanting a new set of lippies

• Needing a hug

• Wearing my fave shirt of le hubby

• Feeling huuuungrrrryyyy

Kayo, kumusta naman Sunday niyo?

'18, June 18th

Just got home! We finally had my ultrasound, yes! There's nothing to worry about the baby but it's still a guessing game for us if it's a baby boy or baby girl. Badtrip, di nakisama si baby! Russel is sad up until now. We can't do anything naman but to wait for another 3 more weeks to completely see the gender of the baby. Huhuhu! That’s too f*cking long!!! It’s just sad. But we’re thankful that everything is fine. I was worried the past days kasi sobrang ramdam ko yung kicks niya down there. My OB assured me naman na it’s normal lalo na breech pa yung position ni baby. Kusa naman daw iikot si baby kapag malapit na siyang lumabas. So relax na tayo. Hehehe. :)

......

To mommies out there,

do u think okay lang to undergo another ultrasound this week? di kaya yun masama? natatakot ako to ask my OB, baka mapagalitan ako. lalo't sa ibang clinic ako nagpautz. Hahaha! tia.

'18, June 9th

cancelled ang site visitation ni Russel in Laguna bc busy si client and he can't accommodate Russel. Good thing kasi ayaw ko din naman siyang paalisin ng ganito panahon, so resched sila by next week. Ang layu-layo naman kasi. It takes 3-4hour ride para makarating sa place. I badly wanna go w/him kasi adventure yun. Hahaha. And maraming falls daw na madadaanan. Hayyy.

nagrequest sya ng sopas kaso im too lazy to get up and i felt tired the whole day. Ewan ko ba, when i reached my 7th month mark heto na lagi na kong pagod agad agad. so i literally stayed on bed lang. tapos yung weather pa. sarap lang mahiga all daaaaay. sulitin ko na nga cos im sure when baby's here na mahirap na kumuha ng pahinga. hahahaha.

[lescali-blog1]

Miss na miss ko yung ganitong weather! especially now that im almost sleeping the whole day. Sobrang miss ko yung kumot kooooo! downside lang ng mga ganitong panahon eh yung katamaran kong maligo. Hahahaha. yaaaks!

[lescali-blog1]

Funny how my little one stops moving when Russel tries to touch my belly. As in every time he does our baby stops whatever s/he was doing inside. Hahaha. Badtrip nanaman siya, eh.

Pregnancy Update: 27th week

Whoa there! I'm already 27 weeks today!

Time flies really quick. I can't believe that I'm only 13weeks away from delivering this baby inside me. We are so excited for the baby, tho di pa din namin alam ang gender niya. But we already have a name for both genders if ever. Hehehe! Sobrang overwhelming lang ng feeling when the baby kicks and move. Lalo these days ang strong na ng kicks niya and mas malikot na. Wala na nga akong ginawa kundi titigan ang tummy ko at hintayin siyang gumalaw sa maghapon. Ha ha ha! Nakakatuwa lang talaga cos s/he responds kapag kinakausap ko siya.

Since I'm on my third trimester now, parang feel ko i-document ngayon yung last 13 weeks na darating. Wala rin naman masyadong ganap sa buhay ko kundi yung pagbubuntis ko. Hahaha! I hope mamanage ko, sobrang antukin ko kasi lately. And sobrang bilis ko lalong mapagod.

Here's my 27th week update.

How far along? 27 weeks and 0 days. Baby is now a size of a camping lantern according to the app that I'm using, Ovia Pregnancy, pero parang maliit pa rin eh. :(

Days until due date? 91 more days!

Weight change? i don't have any idea. Hahaha. seryoso! Pero i definitely gained some.

Stretchmarks? None yet. And hoping na di ako magkaron nun.

Cravings? Yes! Bananas! I don't eat bananas pero lately hanap hanap ko siya.

Sleep? messed up! Lalo these days. Sobrang antukin ko. Tipong kagigising ko lang gusto ko na agad bumalik sa higaan. Hahaha! Yes, totoo! I would sleep pa nga around 10am, woke up by 12nn. Lunch lang then go back to sleep by 1pm then would wake up around 6pm. Hahaha.

Movement? Baby is active! Has a stronger kick now. Also loves listening to Mozarts. S/he moves when I'm playing Mozarts. Adorable! :)

Belly button – OUT!

Best moment this week? I was able to wash the pillowcases from last week pa. Ewan ko ba, sinapian yata ako ng sipag. Pagod nga lang.

Best style moment this week? The old maternity purple dress that I got somewhere in moms closet. Mind you it's from my tita pa. She used it on her first pregnancy and her son is 13 years old now! too bad i didn't take a snap of it.

Worst moment this week? Can't do any chores after nung pillowcases, kasi bilis kong mapagod, eh. Bed rest ako after nun kasi naninigas tiyan ko. But everything's well naman na.

Miss anything? Yes! Going on a roadtrip! May site visit si Russel somewhere in Laguna this week but I can't come. Huhuhu. Nakailang uwi kami ng Manila last May. We attended reunion pa with my clan in Nueva Ecija. So, its a no-no for me to travel muna.

Looking forward to? My next appointment with my OB. We really wanted to know the gender of the baby!!! 5months palang ako inaanticipate na namin yung utz! Inggit na inggit na me sa mga kasabayan ko. Hahaha. Also, Russel and I want a baby girl now! So, hoping for a princess. *magdilang-anghel nawa lahat ng nagsabi na baby girl ito.*

Mood? I feel fab! Pahiga higa lang. Hahaha. But srsly, I'm the happiest right now. :)

*did research the questions above. the power of copy/paste!*

[me on our 1st anniversary]

Isang taon..

Isang taon na

Mula ng unang magdampi

Ang ating mga labi

Kasabay ng pag-amin ko

Na mahal din kita.

Sa unang mga buwan natin

Hanggang sa sandaling ito

Ay para tayong mga bata.

Palaging sabik,

Na ilang minuto lang

Na mawalay sa kalaro

Agad ng hinahanap hanap.

Ang kaibahan nga lang

Hindi ito isang laro.

Mula sa mga yakap

At halik na nakakabaliw

Lahat ng ito

Alam kong totoo,

Totoong totoo.

Ngayon,

Hawak mo ang kamay ko

Habang sumasayaw

Sa saliw ng musika.

Tibok ng puso mo,

Tibok ng puso ko

Iisa ang sigaw.

Kung maaari

Wala sanang bibitaw.

1096 I didn't fall for you. I chose to fall for you. I can always say 'No' to you but you were persistent enough for me to take that risk. I was hesitant for God knows how many times but when you enclosed me in your arms that night, I knew right there and then you're gonna worth taking that risk. Three years has passed and a lot has changed. You're not that guy I've met before because you've changed. A. Lot. You've changed for the better. And I am the happiest because you didn't changed just to please me but for yourself. I am glad because for once I had a good effect on someone. I told myself before that I won't be in any relationship until I get something right in my life. But you see, who would've thought that it's gonna be 'someone', the only right thing I would have? I'm a disappointment to my family but for you I am the greatest treasure you've found. (kilig ako) You have always handled me with love and care. I've been the most insecure pabebe girlfriend for so long (up to now? he he) but you never got tired of telling me that I am your only one. For fucking 3 years, I never heard you complain because I'm too clingy and too much to handle. Spell lucky, M-E! I always thank God that I chose to fall for you. I never thought I'd found someone that would love me selflessly like you do. Now that we're entering a new chapter in our life, I don't have any worries anymore. We're going to be three soon!!! I know you'll be a great dad to our little one just like how you were with me when it was just us. We both know that there's no perfect relationship but I promise you that I'll always choose to be with you no matter what. We've already won a lot of battles, and there's a lot more coming up. We may fight and get tired but giving up on you will never be on my vocabulary. We will fight together. I love you, my soon to be Papa.

Share ko lang tan lines ko. Charot! Dami kong time magselfie, eh. 😂

[lescali-blog1]

Hindi mo na nga dapat ginawa, pinagmalaki mo pa.

Ang problema kasi sa mga teenagers na maaga nabubuntis eh jinujustify pa nila yung mali nilang nagawa. Hindi ba pwedeng "I am sorry. And let me do my best to own up my mistake." na lang? Tho, wala namang magagawa yang sorry pero diba at least aminado ka sa mali mo? You can't say kasi na being pregnant is an accident! No! Never naging accident ang pagbubuntis. If you had sex with someone there's always a possibility na you'll get pregnant even if you did it "safely". Ilang cases/scenario na ba ang palapak na birth control, 'di ba? Condom na nabutas, missed birth control pills, etc. Pwera nalang siguro talaga sa mga tali na, baog at may problema sa matris.

I'm not being righteous here. Dahil mismong ako nabuntis din ng wala sa oras. What I'm saying is can't these teenage moms just be sorry for what they did and be thankful enough that their family accepted whatever happened to them? Diba? You guys don't have to justify anything to anyone besides your fam. Being talk-of-the-town is one hella consequence of what you guys did. Part yan ng pagiging marupok at pasaway mong anak! Justify what you did by showing them how great of a mom you would be. Hindi yung di ka pa nga nakakapanganak ang dami mo na agad putak.
