Halloween 2011

This turned out to be a great halloween!  We got to spend it all together as a family.  It was also the first halloween for hubby and I together.  So it was very special.  Last night we took our daughter to the Mission Valley Pumpkin Station to pick our her first pumpkin.

The selection was actually real good compared to what I though since it was not at an actual farm.

Pumpkins!

Mommy Pumpkin, Daddy Pumpkin, Baby Pumpkin.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!

Damnit!

I can't sleep..  It's past midnight.  I was tired earlier but then I did some reading and is wide awake now.  I figured I should blog since I have not updated my personal blog in forevers!  I think another reason I can't sleep is because I always get so anxious when I'll hear from my husband again.  I love that he emails me everyday but the department of sending them out is so damn slow.  Oh wells.  I don't mind especially since he is the only guy on his boat who sends emails to me everyday and vice versa.

Anyways, I hope you are all doing well.  I'm sorry about being so MIA here, but if anything you can always catch me on my beauty blog (www.dgsbeauty.com) since I update every few days.  <333

R.I.P Grandma Linda (09/14/11)

Sorry for all of the depressing posts.  This does not seem to be a good month.  I am not sure if you all remember, but I wrote a post about my grandma before (Click here).  She finally lost her battle with cancer yesterday.  My mom just called to tell me.  But I'm glad she passed away back in her home (Philippines).  Rest in peace, grandma.  Thank you for everything you have done for me and all the beautiful dresses you made for me and my bridesmaids.  We will always remember you. 

Haha, our trip to Kauai in Oct' 09. 

R.I.P. Great GrandFather (09/10/11)

Today my brother texted me that our great grandfather (my grandmother's dad) passed away.  He lived a long and happy life.  I still remember visiting him in the hospital last year.  Apparently he had a blood transfusion yesterday and was doing fine.  But today when the nurse went to check on him he was unconscious...  I know he is in a better place now.  We will forever miss you, apo. <3  Rest in peace.

Happy 10 Months, Princess!

Yesterday my babygirl turned 10 months. When she was a newborn I wished she would hurry up and get bigger so I could play with her more.  But now I wish she was still that tiny little girl I just gave birth time.  Time is moving so quick.  In no time she'll start to walk and talk in complete sentences.  

Other good news, hubby finally came home.  He left on when she turned 9 months so I'm happy he made it back in time for her 10 months.

Weaning Breastfeeding

So I have been exclusively breastfeeding my daughter for almost 10 months, but just recently decided to stop. It was not because I could no longer produce milk, it is because I was stupid and lost my pump's charger.  There is no place that I could buy another locally.  Even if I were to order a new one, who knows when it would come in.  I am not about to go out and buy another $400 pump, which I probably will use for just a few months.

Breastfeeding has been great for me because I was able to shed off my pregnancy weight and then some!  But it is a bit of an inconvenience.  I love how easy it is to make formula.  No hassle whatsoever.  I am glad to have breastfed as long as I have, but now that I am done I just have a question.  For any of you who breastfed, once you stopped did you gain weight quick?  That is something I am afraid of.  I know I have to eat healthy anyways, but I just want to know your experience.
