Easter Get-Together

We were invited by some of the Filipinos who live in the area for an Easter get together at Starvaggi Park last Sunday.  I enjoyed   lots of Filipino foods and the kids had so much fun playing with 

I brought  two Easter buckets for the Burritos to use during the egg hunt.

Counting the eggs that they got.  The eggs were loaded with candies and chocolates!

Aside from the sweets inside the eggs, the organizer also prepared  prizes for the kids.  Mr. Burrito got the second prize and Ms. Burrito the third prize.  Below are the prizes they got, thanks Tita Agnes!

Easter here is definitely  different  from what I have known growing up.  IN the Philippines, Holy Week is more on contemplating, praying, fasting, and all that religious stuff.  Over here, it's more of a fun celebration,  but  I like it because it's fun for the kids.

Baby Sling

When you  go to Asian country like Korea, you will see a lot of mothers that uses baby slings.  I have bought one when we first have our first born but I only used once or twice and did not feel the need to use it so I gave it to a friend.  When we  went to Korea, we  went for a hike at Mt. Jiri and  our second child was just a year old back then so he couldn't walk.  Luckily, one of the Moms inside the Navy base lent  us their baby's baby carrier.  It made it easier for hubby to hike in the mountain with our son at his back.  He doesn't look so happy because he wasn't used to it lol.

When it comes to baby support, there are different kinds of product that you can buy or create.  It  gives   parents  an easiness to  carry the baby around especially in public places.  Some babies are used to being carried  with this type of product but definitely not our kids lol.  Nevertheless, it made our hike in the mountain a lot easier!

Eggcellent Activity

Hello everyone, I am down to two days of my school break. I finally got to post one entry at my blog.  I visited  some blogs  for the last few days and I enjoyed it.

We brought  our coloring kit and eggs at my Pap and did our coloring there while we visit.   It's an eggcellent activty that we shared with our fun-loving Pap!  Of all the colors, my favorite would be the magenta, blue, and the pink!

Mommy and I will be making deviled eggs out of these.   We will have an egg hunt tomorrow, I bet it would be a lot of fun.

From my family to yours, happy Easter everyone!

Sundae Delight

Yes, it's  weekend again and I get to post  another   entry, thanks Mom for letting me.  The celebration was so much fun, I won some prizes at games and  quizzes, I had a blast.  Below is the colorful bracelet I won  for answering the religion question correctly. 

Last Wednesday, my Mom came to school and helped other Moms  in serving Sundaes to all of us.  I am always delighted when my parents came to school for our activities.  My brother went with my Mom because my Dad (advance happy birthday  Daddy) was in his school too.

Thursday was the mass,  Mom and Dad, and  my brother also attended.  I was one of the presenter of the  things at the altar.

This is what I do whenever my Mom would pick me up after school.  I always run from one end to  the other then  back at the school field.  I don't feel the cold that way.  Thanks Mom for taking pictures!

Today (Friday)  was the last day, the teachers switched  classes.  We got to  make a house  model with Mrs. Fuscardo.  I was going to post it here  but my Mom is busy right now and she didn't download the pictures yet.   Me and my brother played and jump in the trampoline   when I got home.  

Imagine a Beautiful Birth

Before I  go on with the details about the expert Austin midwives, let me tell you what  has transpired  during Holy Week at our end.

We had a very busy week during the Easter holiday.   We took the opportunity to  do our landscaping project  while  the kids are off from school and hubby had a four-day weekend.  We had a fun-filled weekend  with family and friends.  Aside from celebrating the occasion  with the family, some Filipino friends also invited us to an egg-hunting  get together at Starvaggi Park.  The kids had a blast and I enjoyed some delicious  Pinoy foods!

 I also got to see the  one-month old baby of one of the Filipinas who attended the  party.  She said that her baby was 8 pounds and 8 ounces big when  she was born.  Oh my goodness, I thought my son was huge but her baby outweighed  my son lol.  But anyhow, we were teasing her because she said that she told her hubby that there would be no  love-making in two years hahaha.  I was amazed the she delivered the baby  normally considering that she  is a  skinny woman.  

But anyhow, seeing the baby reminds me of my two pregnancies.    We almost lost our first born when her  umbilical cord wrapped around her neck and her heartbeat stop.  I was going to deliver the baby normally but that situation occurred so I was rushed to the emergency  room  and had the C-Section.    I was thankful that my OB Gyne and the nurses were  so good that they  managed to saved our   baby. 

Being pregnant is a joyous experience but   very challenging  at the same time.  You never knew what's ahead of you during the pregnancy that is why, it is  important to  be ready  for all the possibilities.  The link I have provided above caters to the Birthing Center in Austin.  The place have  well-trained and well-experienced  midwives that could help pregnant women enjoy a beautiful birth.
