Getting married and starting a family changes a person’s priorities. She no longer thinks about her needs first but always makes sure that her family’s needs are met. She makes sure that her priority is her family. With the various roles that women play these days – being a wife, a mother, a career woman; having their priorities in order is a must. But we all know that we do not only think about the present needs of our family. As a mother-to-be, I also think about the future of my children. I know that a good education can give them the advantage in finding a good career. I have browsed through sites like
WaldenU.edu just to have an idea of what my options are. I want to provide them with the best choices there is when it comes to education. If they want to pursue a degree in
Master of Public Health, then that is entirely up to them. I will support them in any way I can. I have also looked at sites that offer
University Degrees Online just to see what they offer. College is still a couple of years from now as I she even is here in my womb but I still want to be prepared.
I know how important it is for them to have quality education. The rising cost of putting your children in school is a major concern which is why as early as now, I am trying to find ways on how I will be able to provide the best education for my children in the future. Ah, a mommy's journey can be tough but it is enjoyable on the other hand.
Weekends is the best days for me to shop since I don't have a car, DH then could take and get me afterwards. It is not that I don't want my hubby to be with me shopping such but he has also something to do and besides, he will just be bored checking the colors and such knowing me that I could stay and just go there and here just to get the better deal and quality that I want. Sunday is my second day of shopping for my incoming baby. I cannot just shop just like the ole days to which I will just ride a bus with my friends because both of them are on-vacation. Te Claudia is on one-month vacation and Dorie is in the Philippines with here two daughters, having a vacation as well. It's also not that they are not there for me (aside from that reasons) but it's great sometimes that I have to do it my own. Preciel can't be there because she has 4-years old energetic son and a daughter to look into. Oops, it's Sunday you know. :-) Anyway, it's my personal stuff and it didn't bother me going shopping alone especially that it is for my incoming baby Sarah Ann. The major stuffs to buy has to be bought this weekends so the next things to attend to (like materni-tea tour in the hospital where I will going to deliver (its every Tuesday 7pm but not on the 4th week because it's Chinese language), one day only), birthing and baby care class as well as breastfeeding which is good for four (4) days which is day a week from 7pm-9:30 pm every Wednesday of the week starting first week of August, and so on and so forth. So I have to get this done because I still have to arrange, wash, iron the clothes, prepare, etc. I want it organized as long as I can you know. Mommies/mommies-to-be, homemakers, wives mostly does that.
When we constantly hear about instances of theft or home invasion, we, as parents, cannot help but feel weary about our own family’s safety. The crimes that we hear about can happen to anybody that is why we should always think of how we can ensure the safety of our family and of our homes. Installing a security system in our homes may prove to be a wise decision. It may be quite expensive at first, especially for a mom like me who oversees our family’s finances, but I’m sure that most of you would agree that the security and peace of mind that our family gets outweigh any amount of money. If you are still undecided as to which company can provide the best protection for our homes, try browsing online for sites like
home security barling and see for yourselves the various services and devices they can provide for your homes.
Having an effective home security can give you the peace of mind that your family deserves. You can be more confident about leaving your home for a couple of days for a much needed family vacation. Your whole family can spend the whole day at home and enjoy watching high quality movies and TV shows from
Direct TV without having to worry about conspicuous individuals entering your premises.
On the 6th of July, marked my 30th week of pregnancy. Had my doctor/ob-gyn/prenatal appointment the 8th of July, exactly the second day of my 30th week. I had this every two weeks of seeing my doctor/prenatal beginning the other two weeks, so this is my second prenatal that went every other two weeks. And this will be like this until about my due date. Then soon enough I have to see my doctor/ob-gyn every other week. The prenatal was successful. I had an ultrasound (but don't have a copy of pics but then it's fine) and some other chitchat. The ultrasound gave us the smiles, her hands already showing big. She's already four pounds and two ounce (4 lbs & 2 oz) in weight. It's just funny that I ask how tall she is because any doctor can't measure because a baby(ies) can't be straightened. She/he/they always on the nodding position. :-) Now I know, height can't be measured when the baby is still on the tummy. I just hope, she won't be "he" when comes out. ;-) Or else the pinks couldn't be used. And that's it, nothing else other than the doctor prescribed me to start taking iron supplement to take everyday with the stool softener medication to take everyday both in addition to my calcium supplement (twice a day) and the prenate elite vitamin (once a day). So all in all, I now take five (5) medicines a day until after breastfeeding. Wow! That's a lot, isn't it? But then the doctor prescribed me for this because it is good for me, better than its other side. Happy pregnancy for me. *wink*
