Mommy Tags

Sorry, I just have to snag the tag.

1. What food did you crave when you were pregnant?
I wanted the green mangoes of Bangkok pero okay lang sa akin kahit indian mango lang. Oh and I ate a lot of anything with ice - ice craze, razon's halohalo, zagu, name it!

2. Did you gain a lot of weight when you were pregnant?
Naku 40lbs yata or even more kaya di na ako nakabalik sa pre-pregnancy size ko.

3. Did you drink milk when you were pregnant?
Yup. Cowhead lang. I tried Anmum and Gerber for Moms, pero nakakasuka sya (oops sorry). I don't know why pero umiinom naman talaga ako ng milk.

4. How long did you stay in the labor room before your delivery?
Naku 6cm na ako nung dumating sa hospital kaya after i-IE sa labor room, deretso na sa delivery room.

5. Did you have epidural during labor?
Hindi yata. Di naman kasi ako tinusok sa spine, sa may arm lang nilagyan ng IV.

6. How did you give birth?
Normal delivery. Gave birth less than 3hours after I get to the hospital. 2 iri lang, mali kasi yung 1 dapat pala walang sound.

7. What was your first reaction when you heard your baby’s cry and saw him/her for the first time?
Groggy pa ako sa anesthesia yata nun e. Natuwa lang kasi may hair sya and maputi. At di pala yun magtatagal hehehe.

8. Prior to that moment when you first held your baby, did you know how to carry a newborn?
Yup! I always took care of my nephews and nieces pero iba pa rin pag sarili mong anak, kakatakot pa rin.

9. Did you take a bath after your delivery?
I gave birth on a Holy Tuesday, took a bath on Easter Sunday! Wow para akong nabuhay muli hahaha.

10. How was your first night with your baby like?
Nag-room in kami and hubby was taking care of Summer then. Around 3am, hilo na daw sya so I asked him to put Summer sa may arm ko and she slept straight that night na.

11. Did you breastfeed your baby?
Yes, I did though expressed milk. Di ko sya naturuan mag-latch.

12. If you were to pick just one moment from the time you gave birth until the moment you were discharged from the hospital, which do you think is the most special moment for you?
Siguro it must be the time nung pauwi na kami and dumaan muna kami sa chapel ng St. Luke's before going out. I just have to thank God for entrusting this little angel to us. Dun din kuha ang aming first family picture. At motorcade kami from the hospital to our home at Bulacan - 3cars kami.

Go tag yourself mommies! Ako na lang yata wala nito e.
