Biting Spree II

Y's teething yet again. But this time, yaya is not the victim. ME.


One of the things to expect when breastfeeding a 13-month old who's also teething, is biting after nursing! And it hurts. Hurts more than the first two weeks of breastfeeding! :(

Y bit me a few days before I left for Hong Kong but that didn't hurt. It bled but I was ok the day after. A week ago, she bit me again. This time, she bit it hard, it really hurt, and it left a wound. It hurts when I pump or feed her, I endured the pain. I didn't have my Medela Lanolin, I gave it to my sister, so I used Indigo Baby's Jar of Hope instead and it saved me!

Y's still tries to bite me every now and then, I gently say NO to her. And don't let her feed anymore. Once I tried letting her feed again, she just tried to bite me again. Sometimes she listens to me, sometimes she just gave me her evil laugh, smirk, or smile. Then I forget the pain of her bite.

More on teething here.

Things I Love!

Things I Love as of the moment..

1. Indigo Baby's Jar of Hope and Jar of Love

Y's first mosquito bite on her neck. Wawa.

With Y's bad cough last week and mosquito bites in between, the Jar of Hope and Jar of Love were a lifesaver! I rubbed some Jar of Love on Y's chest and back. She was also taking medicine but I think rubbing this helped. And for Y's mosquito bites, I just dabbed some Jar of Hope and they were a gone after a day or two. Yay! Next on my to-buy list is their sun block!

2. Grandma's Secret Spot Remover

I L-O-V-E this product! As in LOVE talaga. Now that Y is seven and a half months, and learning how to resist and slap and remove our hands when I feed her her vitamins. It is chaos! Vitamins splattered all over her beddings, shirts, lampins, and her burp pads, this product is heaven sent!!! Just drop on stained part, have it washed, and stain is gone! Works on vitamins syrup stains, and that kind of stain is hard to wash, so it means it really works!!!

3. Board Books!

Y enjoys being read to and looking at pictures. She reads with me, making humming sounds. Cute! Most of her board books are bought from Book Sale and Books & Mags. Just make sure to check out the book first for rips or torn pages. My favorite are the Curious George books! Each board book costs around 95 - 125 pesos. Not bad at all, considering some of them are in good condition! I try to buy her a book every month. Now she has Guess How Much I Love You, Goodnight Gorilla, The Runaway Bunny, and three Curious George Look and Feel books!

4. Caffeine Free Coca-Cola

Yes, I'm a Coke drinker/lover. Since I breastfeed, I have to limit my caffeine intake. Pag regular Coke, isang sip lang. I knew about this variety of Coke for a while now. It's available in S&R and I also saw it in a grocery store in Ongpin. The taste is almost similar to the regular one! Solve na ako! So when I'm craving for Coke, I drink this instead. Or I drink 7-Up if this is not available. Hehe!


5. Weekends with Y!
With me being a working mom, I always look forward to weekends and holidays because it means I get to spend my day with Y! And just take pictures and more pictures of her. I get so gigil everytime! :)

Trying out our Combi carrier!

Not So ME Time!

Long overdue entry...

I haven't had a ME time ever since I gave birth, ME time means me doing stuff ALONE like getting a pedicure, eating by myself, or shopping alone. I love spending time with Y, don't get me wrong! But I also sometimes need a breather.


Last Saturday, I had a not so me time. But pwede na din LOL! I went to the SM Grand Baby Fair. Since I live in the north area, I left the house extra early cause traveling time from my house to SM Megamall is about an hour. I'm supposed to leave around 9AM but Y woke up early, I gave her a bath, fed her, ate my breakfast and I left at around 10AM.

Yes, I live somewhere where the PNR passes.

My Marc Jabobs Bag, Igloo Cooler Bag, Mommy Treats, and Iphone

Megamall, at last!

I got to Megamall pass 11AM. No traffic! That's fast considering where I live. I pumped milk first before I went inside the mall. Not my favorite thing to do when I'm out but I need to! TMI sorry.


Here's my experience at the SM Grand Baby Fair. I got there early enough so there was not much shoppers yet. There's so much stuff! I didn't know where to start! The marked down prices are hard to resist. I saw this Pigeon Sippy Cup that's 50% off, I was so tempted to buy, my cart was even full by the time I got to the check out counters but I had to hold myself because Y doesn't need it yet and I was shopping on a budget. I also had the pleasure of meeting the owners of Mamaway and Next9 and Jenny of Fabnaima.

Freebies!

I bought their Jar of Hope and Jar of Love!

More freebies!

By the time I finished checking out all the booths and made my way to the check out counter, the line was SO LOONNGGG... but it was moving so I didn't really mind. Well I did mind pala cause I was hungry na! I edited my cart at the counter, then paid for my stuff.

Chaos at the cashier!

I got a swag bag plus I also got my Mom card! Happy me! But also hungry me! I haven't been to SM Megamall for a long time so I didn't know where to eat. So, I just went to The Atrium and decided to eat at Brother's Burger! Burgers were cooked as you order so I had wait!

This was my lunch. Delicious! Wanna go back again soon!

Since I was already in Megamall, I had to drop by Forever21! The Baby Fair was an excuse, Forever21 talaga ang pakay ko sa Megamall. LOL! Joke lang. Baby Fair talaga purpose ko. I didn't get to try anything because I was in a hurry and I got so overwhelmed with so much stuff I just had to leave. Haha! I spotted a nice oxfords though. I shall return soon! Before I left, I bought Bubble Tea for the BOS and me. Royal Milk Tea for the both of us.

Bubble Tea!

I was supposed to drink it at home with BOS but I can't wait na. LOL!

So, I had it in the car.

Before I end this post, this was my loot last Saturday at the Baby Fair.
