I have friends who have been announcing their pregnancies recently. It’s Baby Boom at this time of the year! It makes me think when should we actually try for our 3rd one. Yes, we are actually planning to have another one but as to when, we still not yet sure. We have been shelving the idea for the meantime as we have a number of upcoming events still. I am happy to rejoice with my friends for a while and just share to them some baby product reviews I have read online lately. But I have to admit that I do miss having a little tiny one. My girls are growing so fast and I just can’t stop the time. No matter what though, they will still be my babies forever!

are growing so fast. So i don’t take any chances not to cuddle them. I actually miss them being so tiny and little, so helpless and so dependent. But I just can’t stop the hands of time so I am just making the most of it. Spending time with them is always precious and something I wouldn’t trade off. A number of our friends were asking as to when will we get pregnant again. We still want actually. Hopefully a boy this time? But how could we be so sure of the gender? I hope the chinese calendar is really effective. But for the meantime, I am considering to take some diet supplements so I can be in better shape and weight first before I end up being pregnant again!

I am telling myself that I can do it while squeezing in between my meetings. I also need to do a lot of writing and reviews every evening. Good thing, I still do not look too awful since I have been using an eye cream for dark circles. Few things that I have accomplished already are:

1. Renewed passport of Margaux. Glad it arrived on time.
2. Enrolled both kids in school.
2. Ordered for their school uniforms.
3. Had the shutter of Nikon D60 fixed already.
4. Bought new luggage

Few more things to do:

1. Renew driver’s license so I won’t get penalized
2. Finalize and firm up our insurance policies
3. Inquire for travel insurance
4. Process papers for the new acquired “baby”
5. Have my hair color/hair cut.
6. Bring kids for pedia check-up

I would like to finish the rest within the coming week. I really hope so. Good luck to me as I am doing these things in between meetings as well.

The girls are officially on summer break! They are very happy actually. Just enjoying the time of their lives by non-stop playing indoor and outdoor, watching TV and eating as well. I haven’t enrolled them yet to any summer activities as it has been very hot lately. I can’t stand to be out because of the heat of the sun. It’s kind of an effort to also bring them to the class especially if it would be far. So I am trying to see what would be available within the village clubhouse instead. I hope there would be a swimming lesson just like last year. It would probably be after the holy week. For the meantime, I just allow them to let loose and enjoy the first phase of summer by staying in the house. Although, it has been a little chaotic for me when they start to play in my home office, I couldn’t care less. I love playing with kids too so I’m savoring the moments!

Alright, I am getting emotional here! (sniff, sniff!)

My girls are big already! Margaux is almost 5 and Bianca is already 3! They’re the biggest thing that happened to me. They are becoming more like me actually (especially on becoming too girly! lol!) But I would still love to keep them as my babies. Now, Is it really time for the 3rd one? I am not too sure as well if I am all ready for baby number 3. Although if I should check on my body clock, I would probably have to consider already. But it doesn’t show right?  Can you honestly tell me if I should need those age spots removal? Gosh, I hate to admit if I should consider one already.  But it would probably help if I should start reviwing the best options out there, as I want to still look good even when my girls are already 18! :p

There are just so many things happening in a day. Work has tremendously taking over but the kiddos are kinda sick so I also have to take care of them. Margaux’s fever has been in and out so we decided that we will be bringing her to pedia later. Bianca’s colds has been here for days. I need to forego first my task to buy auto insurance online, as what the husband requested me to do. I’m not sure if there are better options online anyway. But for now, will do mommy duties first…its a priority.
