It was just drizzling late this morning, so he still got the time to fixed father-in-law’s hosa cables for his stereo components before the rain started its heavy shower this afternoon, just around lunch time.  Well, the two have been waiting for a heavy rain pour to be able to enjoy the rain outside.

As you can see in the photo, the two are busy enjoying the rain while I’m busy preparing the table for lunch and Baby Matti is also busy… very busy sleeping. ^_^

They didn’t stay too long in the rain, after about 15 to 20 minutes, they went home and rinse to be ready for lunch.

I have been busy recovering from child birth and busy with the new routine here at home, not to mention the sleepless nights most of the time.  ^_^  Anyway, since I know that the big ate is getting bored at home with nothing to do this summer vacation, when she asked if we could do one of her art projects given by one of her ninangs, I agreed but didn’t promised when we can be able to do it.

This afternoon, since I felt I have more energy and had fully recharged, I made her open the box of the art project she wanted to do.

This was a Christmas present given by her Ninang Pam but as you can see, we just opened the box today.  This is now her first art activity since the start of their summer vacation.  So let’s see how she did this…

I have her the job of painting the little plaster princesses.  I was the one who mixed the plaster powder with some water and let it dry.  After drying them all up, the ate was excited to paint them all.

The finished product of her little art project…

Mommy was rushed to the hospital by daddy when I was sick.  I think that was around 3am as my Tita F told me.  Tita F looked over that time because nobody will stay home with me that time.  Not to mention I was having episodes of fever too.

I went to the hospital with Tita F at around lunch time when Tita CM came to pick us up.  She said I can now see my little brother.

He was so little when I saw him.  Mommy was on the bed sleeping when I arrived.  She looked so tired.

There were so many visitors that time, including Yca.  So all we did was play and talk while the big people look over the baby.  At night time, Tita CM and Lola Mommy Beng came home with me, since I don’t want to sleep at any other’s house but ours, daddy made them sleep with me.  I can’t sleep at the hospital either, as mommy and daddy said.

The next day, I was told that mommy and daddy are coming home with my little brother, baby Matti.  As my preparation for the homecoming of my little brother, I helped Tita CM cleaned our room.  I helped changed the bedsheet!  ^_^

See, I’m starting to be a good ate, right, mommy?

Here is another photo daddy took while mommy’s out for her post natal check up this afternoon.

I’ve been up for two nights to check on Little Zoie and breastfeed for baby Matti.  That is quite a tasks for two nights only to find out that her UTI is back again and an additional coughing.  Sheesh, what a burden for a little girl!

Good thing the antibiotics is giving good effects and the fever hasn’t come back so far and the coughing is subsiding.  We need to keep Ate Zoie away from baby Matti for a while because of her cough. We don’t want the baby getting cough too.

However, in many cases the patient does not respond well to these drugs.  Side effects of these medications can include stroke, diabetes, brittle bones, weakened immune system, and violent or suicidal thoughts and behaviors.  Babies born to mothers who took antidepressants during pregnancy often suffer from low birth weight, neonatal seizures, and other maladies.  Those suffering from depression should be aware that there are natural, drug-free alternatives to dealing with depression.

A good nutritional supplement to begin with is fish oil.  Fish oil contains omega-3 fatty acids composed of both DHA and EPA.  Patients with low blood levels of DHA are more likely to suffer from symptoms of depression.  It is important to note that DHA is concentrated in brain tissues and assists with the transmission of nerve impulses.  Because omega-3 fatty acids cannot be manufactured by the body, including them in the diet is vital.  Without this critical nutrient the brain cannot function properly.  One study has shown a 45 percent reduction in suicidal thoughts in patients who were given 2 grams of omega-3 fatty acids daily.  Ovitaminpro.com is a trusted source of fish oil supplements.  The varied selection will provide something for everyone!

After we finished playing at Tom’s World, I know I have to ride the animal rides as soon as I saw them!

Although I am the only kid playing, I still had a great time with Tita F!  Thanks for the treat, tita! ^_^

We went for a walk and ended up at my parents’ house just a couple of blocks away from our apartment last weekend. It was so hot that day, so let her ate something cold, a chocolate-flavored ice candy made by her Tita F, my older sister.

Since it was her first time to eat this cold snack, she had a hard time eating it but when she got it, she didn’t stop munching it until the last ice!  Haha!

What’s your cold snack in this very hot weather???  ^_^

As mommy finished getting the stuff my baby brother needs, she let me pick a toy for myself.  So, I got these…

A pink music player with pink sunglasses as well!  I opened the package as soon as we sat down at one of the mall’s amusement park inside.  The music player includes 4 Disney Princesses songs such as Cinderella’s ‘Bibbidi, Babbidi, Boo’, Ariel’s ‘Under The Sea’, Belle’s ‘Be Our Guest’, and Snow White’s ‘Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star’.

I so love them, mommy!  Thanks a lot!
