Just my ordinary days and worries of a first-time mom.

Everything was back to normal now that our water was restored last weekend. A week without it was indeed heelish, especially for someone like me who had a baby. I was thankful that my in-laws were nice to me as they would fetch water from the station with a supply. I would wake up the other day seeing the barrel in the full comfort room. The only problem was washing the feeding bottles. The idea of I will be getting the water from the C.R. wasn't lovely at all. So, I resorted to using purified mineral water.

Also, not to mention that babies intend to change clothes twice or more per day. What to do with my pile of laundry? 😕 If someone would remember, I stopped buying him clothes as he grew fast. So, after almost a week, only a few were left in his cabinet.

It's a good thing the water isn't a problem in my sister-in-law's house, so I could wash it there. The question is, how?

Okay, Les, prepare your things. I'll drive you there, my brother-in-law says. Indeed, a lifesaver!

Of course, I bring my son and his stroller. That would be too much if I will let sister in law babysit him 😆. I am not that thick of a face, LOL.

The aftermath of Kristine, poor bananas, and the owner. No more money is possible to generate from fruits.

It took me three hours before I was done, three loads of 55 minutes each. After, another brother-in-law drove me home using an e-bike.

That happened last week, and I suppose I am at peace now, but nope. A week ago, my baby stopped latching directly. This causes me to have a low supply of breastmilk. Adding three days of no electricity, I wasn't able to pump! Imagine pumping for 30 minutes in both breasts and having only 1oz!

So, I decided to stop and focus on giving him formula milk. Not sure if it was because of that, but he kept on pooping 😣. Not LBM, but a maximum of four or three per day! For a first-time MOM, I am already worried. I contacted his Pedia secretary to book an appointment, but the Doctor is currently out of the country! I will be back on Saturday, four days from now!

He looks fine, though, as the only change in his routine was the frequency of poop, but, oh no, I am still anxious.

His milk was still the same, and I even went out the other day to purchase it. I guess I should try my best again to produce milk, pumping every three hours. Maybe that is one reason.

By the way, this is my first time seeing a rainbow again in years! I captured this while sitting on the porch soothing a grumpy baby.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hindi talaga mapalagay pag bagong parent. Ganyan din kami noon sa 1st baby namin. Pag may sakit or something unusual si baby punta talaga agad sa Pedia.

Ang hirap kasi lalo at di Naman nagsasalita Ang mga baby

sa city yun..hapon katapus umulan

Glad to know may supply na ng water, ang hirap talaga kapag yan ang nawala eh. Aguyy. Pero gosh,there's a lot of ganap on you. Maybe you need to change your eatint habit din to have more milk?

No pag asa na sa breast milk 😂.
It would take a lot of efforts but maybe on the other side it was good to me.

I need to lose weight as my whole body is aching.
Felt like I am now 80yrs old

!PIZZA

Oh gosh, being a mom is really hard. You had to go through all these ( ꈍᴗꈍ)

Isip KO nga, Baka time to switch to another brand na. Ayaw na nya Ng ganyang brand 😬😁

Hanap ka ng drinks or food na pwede nakadagdag ng milk sa Breast mo and infants poops more often talaga kasi they drink milk every now and then

I did that and even drank supplements. Guess there are really like us who are unfortunate when it comes to production of milk.

I see.

Day without water is really irritating. Here every Saturday and Sunday and even Monday their is water interruption because we are on high area and water can't reach us.

Glad there are people who are always willing to help you, indeed God is good and there is always a solution to a problem.

About poop Ng anak mo, baka mag ngipin na sya, ilang Buwan na ba?

Ahh oo I am glad I don't have a problem with my in-laws.

I figure it out, it's the water.
He doesn't like it when the water was stock open for days.🤣

I also experienced the same problem with my baby before Ma'am @lhes and it is not really easy. When he cries, I also cry.
