Christmas is just around the corner and as early as now, people, especially busy and pre-occupied moms like me, are looking for fresh ideas on what to give our loved ones and friends on the most important holiday of all {at least to my opinion} and here are a few things that are on my list:
1. Educational toys for little children.
2. Personalized gift items such as
christmas mugs and Christmas cards will be a great hit, as always.
3. Something that the receiver can use over and over will also prove to be most ideal. I thought of reusable shopping bags for mommy friends or an apron for the cooking enthusiasts.
4. I am also thinking of burning episodes of my friends’ favorite soap opera in CD's of her favorite colors, instead of buying the expensive and impersonal ones found in stores. That way gift-giving becomes more personal and it need not burn a hole in my pocket.
When someone in our family reaches a milestone like graduating from college, passing the board exams or being a new mom, we like to celebrate them by dining out at our favorite restaurant. Occasions such as birthdays and anniversaries are usually celebrated by enjoying a sumptuous meal at the city’s famous restaurant.Other people though choose to celebrate at home for a more intimate celebration. They prepare an elaborate meal with dishes that are served using
style house fine china that are bought primarily to be used during important occasions.
Enjoying their favorite dishes with close friends and family members is a great way to celebrate without the usual hustle and bustle that is seen at restaurants. The hosts of the dinner take extra time to decorate their dining room even using
decorative wall plate racks to add sophistication to the dining room. Each dish is carefully chosen and meticulously prepared to make the dinner extra special. Special beverages are also served including
white zinfandel wine for the adults. When good food and fine wine is served, great conversations follow. Everyone will surely be in a good mood after enjoying a great meal. It will surely be a celebration that will always be remembered by everyone.

And it will be my due date! Whew! Should I have to get excited, nervous or what?! Nah, the best thing I can do is just relax and make the important steps in doing my thing as a mommy-to-be. Being prepared makes difference than getting panic. I know I have contractions already and anytime, any day, I could already give birth to my precious little one. I am just asking your silent prayer for me if it's not too much to ask.
My tummy is already heavy and too much walking isn't good. Well, the "too much" is a barrier. Anything too much anyway, is not good, not balance. It would hurt my ankle and such! Aside from a heavy tummy, I also have swollen right leg which goes on and off. I just have to elevate it and put some alcohol with efficascent oil aside from eating avocado or banana (would help getting rid the swollen leg/s). For now, I put up my massage stuff (the mix efficascent oil with alcohol) and tied-up my lower right leg with a long piece of cloth for injury thing as it hurts then elevates it in other chair whilst doing my thing here -- it is my own initiative. And it feels great, I tell yah.
Shortness of breath and bones butt-ache are always there, not-so with backache but it is manageable. Just the palpitation worried me sometimes, good thing am all good with the help of breathing and relaxing exercise which part of Childbirth Class. Kegel exercise is not good for me yet, not until a week before my due date according to my doctor. I also do sit-ups sometimes and other normal light exercise in the house, doing light household chores. On Friday, two days from now, I'll be going for another OB-BYN/doctor's visit.Yes, a prenatal check-up journey.
