Wala lang

Last night before mommy and I went to sleep, she read a story entitled "Baby Jesus" from the book she purchased a few weeks ago entitled "My First Book of Bible Stories". It's amazing how Mary gave birth to baby Jesus. Before I wanted to have a graco crib but learning about Jesus manger, I will settle for any crib. =)

Hmmm.. today, mommy's not feeling well, she has "sipon". She's been blowing her already swollen nose since this morning. She doesn't want to take any medicine coz it might cause damage to me. Mommy's hoping I don't catch it...kasi it's bad eh..


Yehey! Finally, after two agonizing weeks, my daddy got the result of the 3D ultrasound that was taken two weeks ago. Last Saturday, my mommy was so irate with the staff of the hospital because they haven't finished saving the results into a CD. They advised my mommy that it will be available yesterday. So, this lunch time, my daddy went to the hospital to get the CD which contains AVI file of me inside my mommy's tummy. Too bad, I can't attach the files to this post. You just have to contend with a scanned print out made by my dad. So, what do you think? Am I cute or am i cute? =)

My mommy and daddy had a nice time yesterday, shopping for lots and lots of baby stuff for me at Baby and Co. at the Podium Mall. Mommy was kinda worried because she is about to give birth to me in a couple of months and she feels that she wouldn't have the energy to shop for these stuff as her delivery date approaches. So, after visiting the Medical City for mommy's 3-D ultrasound, off they went to the Podium. And boy, they sure had lots of loot this time. Isn't that Winnie d'Pooh pillow and blanket cute? And the green comb, wow! I can't wait to use it on my soft and thin hair! What else? Those feeding bottles are cute especially the one with the orange cap. Orange being mommy's favorite color. Well, well, in a couple of months, I'll make sure to use them all because I know how mommy is working so hard to buy me those stuff. Thank you mommy and daddy!

Porky Banky!


Meet Porky Banky! He's a coin bank where my mom and dad put some loose 5 peso coin everyday. My mommy was trained by my grand daddy to appreciate the value of savings at an early age. That is why as early as now, she wants to instill in me the same value. Likewise, though it's kinda late for my dad already, mommy also influenced him to save. Daddy happily obliged. So, I hope the coin bank gets filled up with five peso coins in time for christmas! By that time, I hope that mommy and daddy would think of getting a partner for porky banky because he's kinda lonely being alone right now. =)

E-newsletter for mommmy says:

"Your baby now weighs about 2 pounds and measures around 13.5 inches from head to toe. You know how your skin looks after you have been in water for 30 minutes, think about your baby's wrinkled skin! Your baby is fortunately protected from exposure to amniotic fluid by vernix. This white, fatty substance coats the body and protects the skin from long exposure to this fluid."

...lotion please..=)

This morning while mom & I was having breakfast, I heard my lola uttering these words "basag salamin ng kotse mo!" and then I felt my mom's heart sank. The "kotse" is what my mom & dad call "PONG". It's obviously a robbery case but my mom did not know yet what stuff were stolen. The first thing she thought of was the TLM dolls which were displayed at the car's rear, and then her belly moved in a different kind of way, not the one I liked but in a sad way, I am familiar with that feeling of sadness, it reminded me of the "1st term" when my mom cried almost everyday but this time it was more subtle (well...this is another story, i'll talk about it when i am ready...). Anyway, it turned out that the bad guy broke Pong's window to get in and steal the car stereo. ....what?!? the car stereo!!!! how am i suppose to listen to chico and delamar now?..aaargghhh...MOM, I don't want to throw a tantrum but I'll give you a hard poke if you don't replace it soon..why don't you ask daddy to replace it..=)



Yipeee! I've got two new presents this weekend from some special people in my mommy's life. First is this cute bathing suit from mommy's friend Tita Lisa. Thank you Tital Lisa! I can't wait to wear the bathing suit during summer outings. I just hope that by that time, mommy would have conquered her fear of water already so that she can join me while my daddy teaches me how to swim. Then, Tito Carlo, my mommy's cousin. gave me this cute little shoes! I wonder how it will look on my feet when my feet are big enough to fit in the shoes. He also gave me a baby book where mommy and daddy can put baby stuffs and other mementos about me. Thank you Tito Carlo! I really can't wait to get out of mommy's tummy and spend happy times with my mommy and daddy!

Mom Shawie received an email from babycenter today. It says:


Your baby weighs about a pound and a half and is around 13 and a half inches long. She has more hair on her head, and if you could see it you'd know what color and texture it is. Your 'do may be fuller, too, thanks to pregnancy hormones. Some women notice more or darker body hair as well. It'll return to normal after you deliver. You're getting bigger by the minute, but that's no reason to stop exercising — just modify your routine as your body changes.
See what your baby looks like now and find out how to modify your exercise routine, why you may be at risk for anemia, and more.


So that's it! It's called hair, it felt so ticklish when these little black strands were trying to pop out of my head. =)

My mom's 28 years older than me. Seems like a long time living for 28 years if I think about it. What does it feel like to celebrate a birthday? Hmmm..Iobserved my mom yesterday, she seems happy celebrating her 28th year. Why did I say that? Well, I always feel my world shaking. At first I wondered what was happening and now that I can hear pretty well, the belly shaking comes with her hearty laugh. I enjoy each time my mom's belly moves that way, because I know she's enjoying her life...what else could she ask for, she has a supportive family (i can't wait to see my lola..), she has a good job...and most of all she has me and my loving daddy...

Next year, when she celebrates her 29th year, I will not just hear her laughter but I'll be able to see her smiling face as well....i am so excited to see her....

By the way, mom, I saw dad's birthday gift..will you let me play with it?

I just saw jo-lo's post today regarding this worldwide event happening simultaneously in several countries. Live8 aims to let the eight world leaders meeting during the G8th Summit in Scotland that they must stop 30,000 children from dying of poverty every day. My daddy already signed up for this last Saturday. Hope others who have not will do so. In my country alone, poverty is the number one problem of children like me.
Lucky for me, I'm blessed with parents whom I know will be there to protect me and provide for my need as soon as I come out to this world. In fact last Saturday before my mommy and daddy looked for a baby crib in Greenhills, they had lunch at this Cebuano Restaurant called "AA" Original Cebu Barbecue. My mommy and I enjoyed the food so much that we could hardly walk. Hay, I'm looking forward na to so many eat outs with both my mommy and daddy!

Wow! my mommy and daddy could not contain their excitement of me anymore. Look at those Little Mermaid stuff they bought for me. Last night when they were looking for a baby crib, they saw that blue baby shirt with an embroidered image of princess ariel. Mommy liked the shirt but she was worried that the shirt might be too big for me. But the sales lady told her that the shirt can be used by babies from 3-6 months. They got the shirt for a bargain price of P150.00 only! What a steal, right? A few moments later when mommy was looking for feeding bottles, daddy saw that big feeding bottle with princess ariel as the design and when he showed it to mommy, she was not contented with buying only one stuff so she looked for some more and found that milk container with another little mermaid design. So mommy and daddy left the store satisfied with what they bought for me. Ako naman, soooo excited na to come out of mommy's womb and grow bigger so that i can wear that cute blue shirt. Oh well, that would be two months after mommy gives birth to me. Yey! That would be in time for Christmas!

When my mommy found out that I am going to be a baby girl, the first thing that came into her mind was her collection of Little Mermaid stuff. You see, my mommy is sooo fond of Princess Ariel and her world. Every so often when she is in the mood and while she and my daddy are driving, she would sing the the theme song of the Little Mermaid movie. Much to the delight of my daddy of course. And so my mommy is so excited and can't wait to share her collection with me. Imagine, Im still in her womb and my toys are already waiting for me? I could just imagine how happy my life would be when I come out in Your World!
Aside from those toys and collectibles my mommy also bought me a nice orange shirt when she visited the Night Safari in Singapore sometime in May of this year. And the CD in the picture was a present from my daddy. It is a collection of classical pieces performed by well known artists. Wow! I feel like I am the luckiest baby in the world. I know that my parents love me so much even if I am not yet smiling at them. =)

My name is Arianna Shay Zafra. I am still in my mother's womb. My mommy Sharon is about to give birth to me sometime in October. My daddy Arnold is so excited that he can not wait to create this blog for me. Well, he was partly inspired by what Tito Nick, my daddy's former house mate in Pasay, did for his son Jo-lo.My daddy created this blog a few days ago when he was still not sure if I am going to be a boy or a girl. But this morning my mommy had a pelvic ultrasound and the result shows that i am going to be a baby girl. So my daddy immediately change the title of this blog and renamed it Baby Arianna. Yes, my full name is going to be Arianna (meaning: divine) Shay (meaning: gift from God) Siggaoat Zafra. Cutie name no? Oh, By the way, have you already figured out how I look like in that ultrasound photo? :)

That's it for now.
