Yesterday, after getting my wife’s laboratory result from Asian Hospital, we decided to drop by S&R Alabang. We hadn’t had our lunch yet, and I’m was craving for S&R’s delicious roast chicken. We walked the aisles first to build up our appetite. And that’s when we saw it. Nuby bottles on sale. The Youji&Me store in Greenbelt 5 also sells these. But the ones in S&R are on sale. Although it’s very early to be shopping for the baby, we just couldn’t resist not taking advantage of the sale. I think we would have bought a basement dehumidifier had it been on sale. Anyway, we ended up getting neutral colors and designs like those above just to be on the safe side. We would have preferred white/clear ones but they weren’t available. We bought two 8-oz bottles and two 10-oz bottles in the pictured designs.
Can you tell that we’re very excited? 
Three days before our flight to Singapore and Kuala Lumpur for an adventure trip, we decided to get a pregnancy test, just to be sure it’s safe to bungee jump, ride the roller coaster, and zip line. It was early Friday morning when my wife got herself tested. It immediately showed two red lines. She was so shocked she screamed (wireless security systems would have gone haywire). She woke me and dragged me downstairs. “Tignan mo! Tignan mo!” Two red lines. Positive. But we were still skeptic. You see this has happened before. And we don’t want another disappointment. So we decided to do another test the next morning (Saturday). Again, two red lines. Positive.
We immediately went to Asian Hospital for confirmation. I wanted to be 100% sure.
The OB had this scanner device probe her belly. And there it is. One tiny black dot the size of a seed. Our baby at 5 weeks and 1 day.
It’s official. After one year of trying (as mentioned here), we’re going to be parents.
Our flight back home yesterday from our Singapore and Kuala Lumpur trip was at 1:20 AM, and we arrived in the airport at 5 AM. We spent our last day in Suria KLCC to do some last-minute shopping, had dinner in our hotel and waited for our cab to take us to the airport. We didn’t get much sleep in the airplane, so when we arrived yesterday, we slept after breakfast. I have yet to take advantage of the Cyber Monday specials and get myself one awesome Flash drive to borrow the photos of our trip from KG. I promise to write about our trip soon when I have the pictures.
Have an awesome Monday everyone!
How can you not fall in love with this kid? Aside from the good genes, his mom’s organic prenatal vitamin must have helped a lot. He is just the cutest!
Yuan doesn’t really know how to kiss, but he can do hugs. When you ask him for one kiss, he’d either give you a flying kiss, complete with “mwuah,” or he’d put his cheek so you can land one on him. When we joined them for breakfast this morning and my MIL told him to give his Nong-nong a kiss, he opened his mouth and proceeded to press it with mine. I tried to move my face away but he persisted to get closer. I finally land one on him, and we were all laughing.
We’d really miss him when he and his dad finally go to New Zealand on February 5.
Several days ago, as we were driving home, we decided to grab a light snack in Paseo de Magallanes. And with Golden Spoon being the newest contender for yet another frozen yogurt store here in Manila, we decided to treat my wife’s brother and cousin who was with us.
In contrast to most yogurt stores out there that has this sour and tangy flavor, Golden Spoon tastes like a creamy ice cream. Yup! Like a real ice cream. Made from California Grade A milk and the finest all-natural ingredients, I don’t know what process they did but it sure doesn’t taste like regular frozen yogurt. And at only 25 calories per ounce, dieters will surely love this (click here for weight loss supplements). What’s more is that they have flavors. We were able to try New York Cheesecake (which my wife and I shared), Strawberry, and Simply Tart. What’s funny is that we’ve all been expecting to taste the yogurt’s sourness only to be surprised that its just like ice cream.
As we all know, in addition to calcium, yogurt is also packed with good bacteria to help digestion. And with Golden Spoon’s ice cream like taste, I’m sure this will be a hit. But as for us, we still like our froyo to have that sour tangy taste.
