BURN

Yesterday, we went to Alex's Birthday Party at Pump It Up in Pleasanton. For those of you who have never been to a Pump It Up, it's basically a building with different rooms that have different types of jumpers or slides where kids (and adults) can jump and play.

I'm usually terrified of heights, but yesterday Mookie and I decided to go down the slide together while holding hands and look what happened:
The frikken slide was hella slippery. We went down hella fast and I burned my left elbow. I wanted to do it again, but was scared that my other elbow might get burned as well. I didn't want to sport 4 bandaids total on my arms - embarassing!! Hella FUN though :)

Anyways, happy birthday to my nephew Alexander!

Do they have a Pump It Up for adults?

New Moon

For all you Twilight Saga fans, here is a 6 minute trailer to New Moon coming out Friday, November 20, 2009.

I must have watched this trailer a billion times already - can NOT wait... and the crazy thing is, I know a couple of folks who have already bought their tickets! Hmm, I may be one of them.

All of a sudden I'm TEAM JACOB..

I'm BACK!!!

Finally!

I haven't blogged in FOREVER..

So, much to tell you guys, but the BIGGEST NEWS of all is that I finally had my BEAUTIFUL BABY!

Introducing:
Lila "Bella" Rose Romero Palisoc
Born on April 9, 2009 (On her Ninang Joy's Birthday) at 9pm
4lbs 15 ounces
19 inches long

It wasn't an easy transition from being pregnant to Mommy. I mean, I was ECSTATIC having my new bundle of joy in our lives, but it was TOUGH! You don't sleep in the hospital when you get admitted (or at least I didn't), so you're already up like 24 or however many hours it is, then you're discharged and you go home and you still don't get to have any sleep cause you have a new baby to care for. Tough, but here we are 5 and a half months later and we've made it so far..

I was fortunate enough to be with Lila Bella 24-7 for the first 3 months of her life then I had to go back to work (boo).. It was difficult leaving her that first week! I cried driving to work and during work; and when the clock hit 4:29:59, I practically booked to my car so I can hurry and see my baby! It's easier now, knowing that I'm leaving her safely with Grandma at home.

It's great being a mom especially now. We get to see all the things she's able to do. Like right now, she's almost about to roll over to her tummy!! It's all these little daily thing we get to see and do with her. It's wonderful!

So, now that she's a little older (and I don't need to feed her every 2 hours) I think I have time to blog again :)

Yay! Welcome back to me!

How Sweet It Is.....

Being on bedrest isn't fun at all.. I'm not allowed to do jack..

My blood pressure was still high last week and Dr. Burrs asked what I was doing over the weekend and I said that I was washing Lila's clothes so that she has something to wear when we come home from the hospital -we won't have time later on.. She looks at me sideways and says "how the hell are you doing that on your bed? are you wheeling your bed around?" MUN..

So, Ro's been taking care of me - he won't let me lift a finger for nothing and I feel hella bad that he has to do everything..

They also told me I shouldn't be driving myself anywhere so when Joy had a day off last week, she drove me to my doctor's appt.. She stayed with me ALL day - we had lunch and watched 2 movies together.. It was nice company considering I'm at home all day with nothing to do.

Friday, Netty and Mook came over to visit and made me a get well basket with lots of goodies to keep me sane during my bedrest.. The DVD's are only for me to borrow (per Nette - haha) and they included magazines, soup, sudoku games, etc...


So sweet to have great best friends to be bored with you and a hubby who spoils you to death..

Slowly Coming Together

Here's Lila's crib together with the bedding I found at Ross... I never usually see crib sets at our stores, so I grabbed this one hella fast. I love the color too! Trying to veer away from the pink as much as possible. I still need to get the crib skirt, rearrange the crib and get the other furniture, but other than that it's getting there!
