Hello readers, sorry for not updating my blog. I'm so busy these past few days with Ate Rhian and taking care of Baby Bunso at the same time. Mas humirap na kasi ako magkikilos lalo na I'm on my 8th month of pregnancy and I swear ibang iba talaga tong pagod na nararamdaman ko compare nung pinagbubuntis ko si Rhian, well sabi kasi ni Ian is unlike before wala akong inaalagaan na bata so focus lang ako sa pagbubuntis ko but now we have Rhian na dapat tingnan at alagaan, ayun pagoda ang beauty ng buntis.

I have so many kwento sana kaya lang super limited ang time, pano if I have spare time to open my laptop dinadalaw naman ako ni TAMADitis or nasasabayan ko ng tulog si Rhian. Hayz. But I promise, mag lalaan ako ng oras to update my blog.

For the meantime, please include me in your prayers ha as I will deliver our 2nd baby girl this Aug 26. Yes! May date talaga since schedule CS ako. So gotta go guys! Take Care!

Today is a very special day for Ian and I as a married couple since it marks our 3rd Wedding Anniversary or our 9 years of togetherness.

July 24, 2012 means..

7 days of laughter and happiness
24 hours of fruitful life
12 months of intimate love




Dearest Honey,

It's been 3 years since the day we exchange "I DO" in front of the Lord, our family and friends. Ang bilis ng panahon, parang kelan lang nililigawan mo palang ako ngayon 9 years na tayong magkakilala and magkasama. No words can express how much I love you and appreciate all the things you've done for us. This year is one the toughest years for us at alam kong alam mo yun, God tested our marriage but still nalagpasan natin to na magkasama. There are days that I want to give up because I felt na I'm not deserving for your love but you always reminds me about the vow we had 3 years ago. You are not perfect, I am not perfect, our marriage is also not perfect but you know what I'm happy to be with you. Waking up everyday na katabi ko kayo ni Rhian, ipagluto kita ng pagkain, pagsilbihan kita, alagaan, pasayahin, lahat ng yun para sa akin perfect.

Imagine sa tatlong taon natin bilang mag-asawa at biniyayaan tayo ni Lord ng 2 magagandang anak. Ano pa ba mahihiling ko? Wala na dahil binigyan ako ni Lord ng isang masayang pamilya na pinangarap ko simula noon pa. Thank you honey for everything, for your unconditional love, mahabang pacensya, good provider, good father to Rhian and Rhain and most important my partner in life.


Sorry for the things I've done to you, sana habaan mo pa pacensya mo sa akin. I guess dala to ng hormonal change na nararanasan ko ngayon lalo na malapit na natin mameet si Baby Rhaine. Ang dami nating pangarap sa buhay db and unti unti na natin syang nakakamit, mag focus lang tayo dun, wag natin intindihin ang mga negative vibes para makamit natin yung dream natin kasi alam kong malapit na yun mangyari.

Sorry kasi wala akong gift for you this day, I can't remember when was the last time na nagbigay ako sayo ng material gift eh, mag jowa pa ata tayo nun. Haha. But I believe I already gave you the greatest gift of all, si Rhian and si Rhaine para sa birthday mo naman. Promise, pag balik ko ng work and on my 1st salary, ibibili kita ng kahit anong gusto mo at itre-treat ko kayo ng dinner. Okay ba sayo yun honey? Kaya for the meantime, tamang kiss and hug nalang muna ang gift ko sayo ha.

Honey, I love you. I will never get tired of saying those words to you. Ikaw ang pinili kong makasama habang buhay, lahat gagawin ko to make you happy, to make our family happy. I always imagine na tumanda kasama ka, yun bang tayong 2 nalang kasi may mga sariling pamilya na ang mga anak natin, magka holding hands parin, manonood tayo ng sine, kakain sa labas, magkwe-kwentuhan, at babalik balikan ang mga pinagdaanan natin sa buhay. Just be strong for me honey, kasi wala naman akong ibang kakapitan kung hindi ikaw eh.

Basta tandaan mo na mahal na mahal kita. Happy 3rd Wedding Anniversary Honey!

Love,

Your Wife

Okay before that, let's have a guessing game. Can you guess Baby Bunso's Real Name?

Naming your baby is so much fun, challenging and one of the most important tasks you will ever undertake because your child will have this name for their whole life and it is your first gift to your child so parents, make it something special. If you are not 100% happy with the name you have in mind, it may affect you and your child for a lifetime. Believe me. So again, DON’T commit yourself to the first name that you’ll find.

Before I got pregnant with Rhian, my husband and I have already decided long ago and now that we have baby number 2 it’s so hard for us to gave her name. I don’t know but we just decided her full name recently when I am almost 7 months. We always call our 2nd baby as “Baby Bunso” but now we have a perfect name for her.


This is our personal and mutual decision, here’s our simple explanation behind her name.

Rhaine – We wanted to be consistent, we want all our kids to have a first name that starts with letter “R”. Syempre R ang start ng letter namin mag asawa. Hihi (Rhoderick Ian and Rackell)

Note:  We just shuffle Rhian’s first name and add letter “E”

Sophia – This name was suggested by my husband. I guess he loves the Disney show “Sofia The First”. Haha. But seriously speaking, we chose this name because Sophia means “Wisdom” from the Greek and was used by European Royalty in the Middle Ages.  This is also one of the most popular girl’s name in 2014 which ranked #3.

So from now on, we opted to call our Baby Bunso on her real name, 

RHAINE SOPHIA L. VILLAREAL

So to all soon-to-parents out there, be creative, be unique, keep searching, talked to your husband until you both find a perfect name that you truly like and most important start with the positive names.

We had our 3D/4D ultrasound for Baby Bunso last Saturday at Baby Ultrasound Company at Robinson's Manila, this is also where we had Rhian's 3D/4D Ultrasound last November 2013. We are very satisfied with their service and I promise to myself na pag may baby number 3 na 5 years from now, dito ko parin pipiliin magpa 4D ultrasound.

Anyway, I texted the store 2 days before our preferred schedule about the procedure and got immediate response from them. Mas okay kasi ang nagpapa schedule ahead of time kesa mag walk-in since super daming nagpapa ultrasound and consult during weekends. We arrived at the place 30 minutes before our scheduled time so we opted to stroll around the mall while waiting. At exactly 1:45pm, it's time to see our baby bunso!!!



I am 31 weeks and 4 days that time and according to the sonologist, it's the best time to do the procedure. Malaki na kasi si baby by that time plus the fact na marami na syang movements. Perfect! By the way, we got the Gold Package worth Php 3,300.00 (same with Rhian before) which includes 3D/4D Fetal Imaging Session, 6 Superior Quality Colored Photos, 1 CD Copy containing images of the baby slideshow and Gender determination if requested plus FREE rescan if gender could not be determined and if the baby is non-cooperative during the time of scan. They also have different packages to choose from for a low as Php 1,500 up to Php 4,300.00. You may visit their website for more details.

Okay so let me continue what happened during the session, together with my husband, Rhian and Tita Grace we are all excited to meet baby bunso and see what's going on inside my tummy. The sonologist had a hard time to see our baby bunso's face, pano malapit sya sa tahi ko and laging nakasubsob ang mukha sa placenta so what they did was they press my tummy para lumayo sya sa placenta ko and mag change ng position, but they failed. MaCUTElit talaga sya. Here are some of Baby Bunso's photos. Sorry, ayaw nya talagang humarap eh.





And since mahiyain and ayaw magpakita ng face tulad ng ate nya, our sonologist advise me to walk and eat something na makakapagpa active sa kanya. So my husband and I opted to had our merienda at Chowking, siopao at halo-halo order ko para malamigan si Baby Bunso at magbago ang position. Hihi. and after 1 hour balik na kami sa Ultrasound. We want to finish our transaction within the day para di na kami bumalik, so before I enter the room kinausap ko na si Baby Bunso to participate and show her face. Buti nalang mabait na sya and naki-cooperate na sa amin. So here's another set of her pacute facial expression.


Baby Bunso is so sleepy

Pouty Lips


Priceless Smile :)
Hi-5!

Are you hungry na baby bunso?

You really look like your Ate!

Look at her, she's so big. Yes! Mas malaki at mas mataba sya compare kay Rhian. I don't know what happened to me this past few months but 1 thing for sure, ang sarap kumain at matulog lang. Upon looking at these pictures, hawig na hawig sila ni Rhian the only difference is may dimples daw si Baby Bunso according to the sonologist, Yehey!

Now, can you imagine how excited we are to meet our Baby Bunso. We will be seeing her next month! Yes! Ang bilis ng panahon, next month na sya lalabas and guess what, ka birth month pa sya ng Daddy nya. So I'm asking you to include me and Baby Bunso in your prayers ha, to have a safe delivery. Thank you in advance guys! Mwah!
