One Day in the Life of A Working Mom

Matt and I spent a lot of time during the holidays. I took a vacation leave during the Christmas week. We had so much bonding.

I brought him to the office the other day. Yesterday, while I was dressing up for work...

Matt: "Mimi, punta ka ng office?"
Mimi: "Yes, baby."
Matt: "Wag ka punta, Mimi. Dito ka lang sa bahay."

He began to cry.

Mimi: "Sinama na kita sa office kahapon, di ba? At saka andito naman si Yaya."
Matt: "Ayoko si Yaya, gusto ko ikaw alaga sa akin."

He was crying a river. He was begging me to stay home.

Matt: "Mimi, please Mimi, please...please." He went on crying.

My heart melted and I was also crying. Then I decided not to go to work yesterday.

Mimi: "O sige, hindi ako pasok today pero bukas pasok ako, ha?"
Matt: "Ayoko, wag ka ring pasok, bukas."

Aha, he wanted me not to work anymore!

So I convinced him that I would bring him to the office again yesterday. I didn't bring Yaya.

While in the car, I was crying and was contemplating of being a stay-at-home mom. Oh well,that's a tough decision to make. Maybe in time...

Well, we survived the day without Yaya. My officemates looked after him. I even attended two meetings yesterday.

So how did I manage to go to work today without the mala-teleserye scene again? I asked Matt's Lolo and Lola (my parents) to come over our house to be with Matt. That way, he would be busy doing things with his grannies.

It was another struggle of being a working mom...

And Our Second Baby Is...

It's been a long time since my last post. I miss blogging!

Anyway, Happy New Year to all! Been busy the holidays.

I had a Congenital Anomaly Scan last week. It's a kind of pelvic ultrasound where the baby is scanned if his organs are developing well. We're happy to know that our second baby is growing ok in my tummy.

Plus, we knew the gender already! And we're having another baby BOY!

We've been praying for a baby girl this time but I believe the Lord knows so well that He gave us another boy. We shall name him Luke. We purposely passed on Mark kasi baka magtuluy-tuloy yung 4 evangelists and maging boy lahat ang kids namin, hehe!

Before the ultrasound, Matt changed his mind and told us that he wanted a baby brother. He is super happy because we're having another boy. Para siguro playmate. We always tell him to be a good Kuya to Luke, to lend his toys to his brother and even the clothes that are small for him already.

When he is wearing something that's too fit for him, he would take it off and tell me, "Mimi, kay Luke na lang 'tong damit ko, kasi masikip na." That's cute and sweet. (",)
