The One Where We Don't Have Enough Sleep

I am lucky if I get to the office before 9am. My worst time yet is 940am. Whew! But I have my reasons, I just don't know if it's valid in the corporate world.

When I get up at around 10 to 7am, I usually head to the kitchen to get my pump and 2-3 empty milk bottles. 30 minutes and 2-3 full bottles later, I take a bath and dress up. Being the turtle that I am, it usually takes me 20-35 minutes to take a bath. Thus, I wouldn't be able to reach the bus stop at 8am.

I tried to wake up earlier. The thing is, when I told you how Bebi A never made me get up in the night when she was 2-3 months old, her sleep cycle suddenly changed. She is now awake at 2am, playing. Sometimes, kicking her dad, talking to us while our eyes are closed. It's either we indulge in this early morning playtime or just ignore her (kawawa naman). Sometimes, she sleeps as soon as she felt her tactics are being ignored, but then, this baby can be persistent at times, she will give you that toothlelss smile of hers, then you'll feel compelled to smile back. Sleep forgotten.

Confession

Being a Mom.  Sometimes I feel as I am not cut out for it. Too much work.  Too much responsibility.  Too much worry. Worry that Ate T is taking the bus today.  Ate A's tooth is still in there and the new one has already come out.  Baby A has colds and is screaming and wants to cuddle. Sometimes it leaves me breathless. But When I pick up Ate T from our meeting place, I feel so proud of her because she has become independent and can commute.  Ate A's tenacity in wiggling her tooth and she's now toothless, doesn't need to go to the dentist to have it removed.  And, Baby A despite her colds still has appetite and it just feels good to hug her. God has showered me with so much love for giving me 3 wonderful girls.  It feels good being a mommy. Happy Mother's Day to all you wonderful Mommies!

Me! Me! Me!

Last night, I created an LO using the picture below when Bebi A happened to see it. She touched it and said "Me?!" "No, it's me!" I told her. It was really me when I was Bebi A's age. The similarities will not be able to deny that Bebi A is my daughter hahaha I just hope that my bubbly and sunny bebi will not get the mom's sumpong(s). This is one of the few baby pics that I have. I used to have 3 baby albums but one of the worst floods that hit Pinas also took away my memories. Now, this is Bebi A.

Creativity

Dawter T called me up and told me that Bebi A tore her art and made a monster out of the girl in the picture. I know that it's not being mean. Bebi A doesn't have a mean bone in her body. She just don't understand. I talked to Bebi A. Asked her to kiss and make up with her Ate, She did. Ate A told me that she went up to Dawter T and kissed her, then asked "Is this better, Ate?" Awwww... Dawter T's "smashed" art was one of her best. I was really impresed. If only I have taken a picture of it this morning. It was really beautiful. It was a portrait of a girl, by the way. I hope that Dawter T can still replicate it. I know that not all kids are alike. And, my daughters have their own endearing qualities. One's art is different from the other. Dawter T has the potential (not because I'm her mom, ok ok, it maybe because I'm her mom hahaha) and Bebi A's, well, let's just say abstract. Hehe.
