Happy 6th Month, BabyKat!!

We had a short picnic in the cemetery as we celebrated BabyKat's 6th month. Even if she's not with us, we agreed to celebrate her important dates, like her 6th month, and her 1st birthday onwards =D She will always be our daughter.

We bought some food, a blanket, etc. Her only guest today was the usual orange cat that keeps us company, so we gave her some of our food. Our caretaker set up a few chairs and a tent for us, and the weather, as usual, was wonderful. 
Lunch!
Perfect weather.
We bought her a small cake from Aggy's, and lit a candle. We didn't blow it out, we just waited for the candle to die on it's own, then left the candle with her flowers. 
The caretaker knew it was her birthday, and stuck some flowers around her marker. 
We enjoyed spending a few hours there on our own. We did not cry today, and we have not for a while now. Perhaps because we feel her everywhere now, instead of feeling like she's gone. 

As we were driving away, my phone beeped with an important email. An answered prayer to one of my requests from her. She gave me a gift on her birthday (actually more like a miracle). She never ceases to amaze me!

I texted my friend, Tipin, that I was ready to lend/surrender my pump and other paraphernalia tomorrow. It was a good time to let go. I actually have a few more days of weaning to go, supposedly. But it's better to let go now, since it's just hard to let go anyways. Out of sight, out of mind. So tomorrow, I (temporarily) say goodbye to my "closest" friend the last 6 months. THIS I WILL CRY OVER FOR SURE. 

Happy Birthday, dear Baby Doll! Love love always.

SM Arena Ticketnet -- When You Lose Your Tickets

Image
I just wanted to share a great experience I had with SM Tickets / SM Arena. As I had mentioned in my previous pos t, I was not looking forward to celebrating my 30th Birthday. J, with much struggle , tried to find me other gifts, but I persuaded him to just get me the cheapest Aerosmith tickets available. I mean, what were the chances that Aerosmith was coming the eve of my birthday? They MUST be meant for me! The cheapest tickets were quite expensive at P2,600 each, considering they were GA, and he offered to buy more expensive ones. I didn't think it was practical though, since we had just paid a lot of money for tuitions in Woodrose and Zobel.  So he bought the GA tickets at Southmall, handed them over to me, and that was that. And then, I lost the tickets. That night, I was using a Cambridge satchel bag. I placed the tickets on the front pocket as soon as J handed it over to me. By the next day, the tickets had gone missing. Everything was inside the bag -- except the ...

Meat Plus Cafe (Subic)

I was heavily dependent on my Samsung S4 during this road trip. For some reason, J's Iphone gave my zilch information in Baguio on its map, while the S4 gamely showed us the places to eat in the map and reviews! I had just bought it a few days ago through my old Globe plan, and it came in really handy during this trip.

Calcium Supplements for Breastfeeding Moms

Image
Often times breastfeeding moms forget to take the necessary vitamins since they're so tired or distracted.  However, taking of calcium is so so important. Your body depletes your calcium stores during pregnancy, and  some more during breastfeeding. I personally take Calcium Carbonate (Calci-Aid) by Bayer because I prefer gel capsules over tablets. The recommended dose is 1000mg, but if you're a young mom (14-18 years old) the recommended dose is 1,300 since you are also still building your bones. Calci-Aid is 500mg per capsule, so I take two a day. You can get calcium from a well-rounded diet, but I don't take chances since with out schedule, I don't get to monitor my vitamin intake. Since I don't drink cow's milk (since some of the babies I donate to are allergic to the protein of cow's milk), taking calcium supplements are important everyday. I've heard of some moms who suddenly feel weak, like their bones hurt, and their doctors tell them it's...
