When both parents are working

 You have to do what you got to do 😁

Today, Rapha came with me in the office, just like yesterday. Not the best option for us but we have to make the best of our situation now. 

Yesterday, he took a nap in the couch, today in my office chair :)

Tomorrow, he'll stay home because someone is going to be with him for 2 days and then weekend. Yey! 

Happy Wednesday everyone! 

Just Hello :)

 Oh hi there!

Anyone still blogging these days? Wala na yata lahat ng pina follow ko na blog. But I'll check later. meanwhile, this blog has been up since 2005, of course madaming years na wala akong mga posts because you know life happens. But still buhay pa naman ang blog. haha!

Most of the people now are on social media sites. Ako rin, I have set up a family/parenting blogsite in facebook, so if you want more updates about us, you can follow me there. Here's our page link :)

Life with the Abadianos

Meanwhile, I don't want to lose this site for so many sentimental reasons so as long as blogger is there, this blog will stay.

I just have to figure out how can I update from my mobile phone so posting will be easier. Not so techy and tita problems :( But yes, I'll figure that out soon.

See you!

Belated Mother's day greetings!

 

 

To all the Mothers out there!

Celebrating Mother's day since my little one came to us has never been this happy :) Motherhood came late but I am enjoying every minute of it now. 

 Hope you all had fun!

Rapha's 1st birthday photoshoot

These photos were taken before Rapha's 1st birthday, I think this was taken December of 2019. Of course he is much bigger now. He is after all 25 months old.

I have a toddler now :) 

 

I really regret not blogging the past years. For now, I will be posting old photos and milestone of my son just so I have something to look back and read or maybe even show him someday :)

 My husband and I did the styling here, Camille took the photos :) venue was from a nearby park. I am so grateful we were able to do this just before Covid came into the scene.

This blog is still alive :)

And it's like I am starting anew. 

Paano nga ulit mag blog? haha! 

Anyways, this blog has been neglected and I have already given up the domain name.

I don't know what it  got me resurrecting this blog, maybe I miss the old way of blogging, maybe I needed a respite from my work.

Or maybe I don't really know.

But let's see. For the meantime, I am revising old posts. Some posts I cringe..haha :)

But some posts made me look back to very good memories.

And thankful I have this blog to remind me of those.

Rapha's first park visit

My son is now 4 months old!

Sharing with you our pictures yesterday. Thank God for holidays :)  Because there was no work yesterday we were able to go to park just before sunset.

This particular picture melts my heart- My husband holding our very own son. I will forever be grateful for these new experiences.

Family picture

Looking forward to another holiday again next week!

Rapha at 2 months

Why you grow so fast my son?This photo was taken last Mach 26 for his 2nd month birthday celebration.

Looking at the internet, I'm amazed and somehow jealous how some parents can be creative for the monthly photos of their kids. While us? oh well, let's just say we're satisfied and happy of his photos so far. Maybe not instagram worthy but worthy of all our love :D Let's see how big he'll be on his 3rd month.

Birth Announcement

I know this is a bit late as I already gave birth 2 months ago but hello world! meet our miracle baby. The one we prayed for years. Indeed God's best gift to our marriage.

Pregnant at 45!

Yes!!

 And we are currently at 26 weeks now. Me and the baby are both doing good. Praise God!

I never thought that I will someday write about my pregnancy here in this blog, well, after praying and waiting for 12 years, who would have thought it could still be possible right?

Photo not mine

But our God is God of impossible. Nothing is too hard for HIM! Because you read it right my dearest friends. I am pregnant for the very first time at 45 years old, conceived naturally.

We did not know we were pregnant, I never had morning sickness, nor any signs except for missed period which is a regular occurrence for me since I was diagnosed with PCOS.

How did I figure it out?

Well, last September (first week) I had frequent heartburn to the point that I couldn’t sleep properly at night. Research I made (a.k.a  googling)  said it could also be signs of pregnancy. After knowing that, I was already restless, it’s as if somebody is whispering to me to go buy a pregnancy test.

The night of September 13, I bought two pregnancy test, that night on my first try, it gave me 2 pink lines! I can’t believe it. I almost did not sleep but I kept it to myself. The morning after,  I tried again and there it was! My 2 pink lines.  I woke up my still sleeping husband (whose birthday is on that day!) and showed him the two pregnancy tests. His first reaction was “is that yours?”  we then both laugh!

We decided to go to OB/sonologist for an ultrasound early that morning.  There inside that tiny room, we both cried when they confirmed to us that we are pregnant and that we are already 21 weeks and 1 day!!! Imagine that! I whispered a prayer and thanked our GOD for keeping us safe despite of not having prenatal check up for the first 20 weeks.

God is amazing! And He does amazing things to His children. I know it is not a reward because who are we to be given that reward? It was not because we are faithful or good but it is solely because GOD is FAITHFUL and HE is so GOOD!

After the very huge storm in our married life last year, He has given us this special gift. Our heart is full and we are forever grateful.

To GOD be the GLORY!

I lost weight finally!

I started changing my way of eating February of this month, because I was tried of being so heavy and wearing plus size clothes. I wanted to look and feel good. I wanted to be able to buy clothes without even worrying if there is a size that will fit me.

So here am I now, 30 pounds lighter after 6 months :)

Picture at the left was march 2017, I think it was one of my biggest state :) maybe more than 188 lbs. I only weighed my self last February and my initial weight was 188.84. Picture at right was taken last Saturday, July 21, 2018- current weight is 154 lbs. So happy! I need to lose more because of my recent medical findings when we had the Annual Physical Examination (APE) at the office. It is still a long way to go but I celebrating my moving from OBESITY to overweight! Yey!

2018 Youth Mission Camp

Campfire Burgers and more

Address : 23, Scout Limbaga Ext, Quezon City, Metro Manila

We chance upon this cute burger house one Saturday last December when I attended a business workshop near that area. The look is inviting so we tried :) 

 our burgers!

This is for the husband, he ordered "double decker". You can refer to the menu below for what's in there :)

And that burger with fries is mine :0 This is their "double decker". I enjoyed my burger, hubs said he still prefers our favorite "Blazing burger" which is a stone throw away from our house.

Here is a copy of their magnificent 7 menu. 

if you are near the area, go on and try this place, it won't probably hurt your budget and besides the ambiance is nice! I wish to go back also and try their other burgers :)

happy weekend everyone!
