We were looking for strollers the other day...
None of these were at the department store, though. But I like the colors and how they look like. This, though, is for a much older baby. Not a newborn. Bry and I want a stroller Brianna can use 'til she's old enough to walk.

The whole weekend was spent with babies and kids...
The whole universe is conspiring to prepare me for motherhood. This entire weekend was spent in the presence of small babies and kids.
Saturday, we had to go to my OB for my regular check-up so naturally, I was surrounded by kids of all shapes and sizes. I had fun watching them run around the corridors and screamed with their moms when they tripped.
Yesterday, we went to my cousin's christening in Novaliches and it seemed like a child's birthday party instead of baptism. There were a lot of kids around, running and screaming and all that stuff but I stayed inside my Tita's bedroom and babysat my cousin, Gracielle, instead.
I baby-talked most of the time, I began thinking "Sinasabi siguro nito sa utak niya, nakakaintindi naman ako ng normal talk, you don't have to make a fool out of yourself" but I still talked that way, anyway. I got tired playing with her, I fell asleep and my other cousin woke me up by wrestling me. I blocked him with my ginormous legs because Brianna might get hurt (Mental note: Boys are rowdy). Then I made my VERY FIRST diaper change yesterday. I was so proud of myself, I should've asked Trish to take a picture...or better yet, a video. Crazy, I know, but I have no idea how to handle a baby so that diaper change was an achievement!
More kids and babies to come this holiday season, I'm sure of it. Brianna's on her way and I can't wait. Even if I am scared to death of how small she will be.

My bestfriend and I were talking about where I should give birth...
Medical City was the only option I had before PSI. I just thought that I'll be putting my parents into more hurt if I don't follow what they want after my explosive announcement. But now that I know better, I know that I am just assuming all these things because I would feel this way when this has been done to me. Not that I am putting their feelings aside... Okay, enough about PSI.
Anyway, I was chatting with my bestfriend online when I realized that the choice of hospital is not practical for Bry and me. I will talk to my parents one of these days regarding this. It's my responsibility as Brianna's mom to decide for the both of us.

SSS... Why just now?!
I don't know why I kept on putting my SSS ID application off 'til now. Honestly, that's kind of lame. I mean, I've been - I'll be borrowing Marcia's term - FUNemployed since October but I didn't fix this SSS problem.
So, why did I finally decide to fix it? Because it is a requirement in the maternity reimbursement when I give birth.
Anyhoo, naturally, I went online for instructions and requirements. Guys, if you are self-employed or a voluntary member like me, the SSS website will not be of any help regarding this. All it can give you is the form that you will be needing to submit and that's about it. Not even those form things on the Contact Us page for your inquiries, comments and suggestions.
I had to read blogs and be all confused for 3 hours, I finally got all the information I need for the ID and the maternity reimbursement. Now, I'm all ready. I just need to print out all the paper requirements then Wednesday, off to SSS East Ave. branch (the only branches that have ID picture capture are Kalookan, Novaliches and East Ave).
