It was a busy day for me last Sunday and by the time hubby and I arrived home at around 9pm I was dead tired.
I've been been making kulit hubby about going to SM Makati, Landmark and that house in Bel-Air that sells export overruns Carters baby clothes to check out stuff to buy for our baby bear. I also wanted to go to the In My Womb Ultrasound Center to have a 4D ultrasound for baby bear. Bong finally had the time and decided we go to makati on a sunday after his rowing session.
My day started at 3:30am. I was still soooo sleepy! But I had to start getting ready or else he'll be late for their 5am call-time.
We arrived Manila Bay at 5:15am and it was still dark. Geez, most of his teammates were late and they started a couple of minutes later. I stayed in Starbucks while waiting for him alternating between reading a book and people watching. It was so nice seeing families out and enjoying the fresh(?) air and the morning sun. Also, it was fun to see the oldies and the youngsters moving their bodies and trying to cope up with the aerobics instructor.
After his rowing we went to McDonalds to grab some breakfast and went straight to makati. We arrived Park Square at 9am which was too early. We found an open Goldilocks and loitered there until the mall opened. Unfortunately, my uncooperative tummy started feeling queasy. No, it wasn't contractions it was the queasy feeling wherein you need to go to the restroom asap. As soon as the mall opened I went straight to the restroom and did my thing while Bong went to the ultrasound center nearby. After successfully(!) doing my thing I went to the ultrasound center and still found Bong outside. It was still closed. So I asked Bong to accompany me to the drugstore to buy some more tissue wipes. Naku, we came back after 30 minutes and guess what we were already 4th in line for the 4D ultrasound. Grrrrr.... this means my turn would probably be around 3pm.
We decided to go to Bel-Air for the baby clothes. It was easy looking for the house but getting in was kinda difficult. Nagkulang ang research ko dito. The gate was open but no one was answering the doorbell. We went inside the front lawn but saw no signs of baby clothes. Naku, I was already doubting if we were in the right house. Feeling namin tuloy parang kaming intruders. We were almost about to give up when a lady came in and asked for Manang Vicky (the one in-charged of the selling). She went to the side of the house leading to the back and called us. Suki na pala siya dito. Manang Vicky was having her lunch pala and the doorbell was broken talaga. The area was a small room with tambak-tambak na baby clothes. Some naka-hanger and others naka bundle together in plastic. Self-service. Kanya-kanyang dukot. Ang daming cute clothes especially for girls! But it's ok that I'm having a boy so as not to bust the budget. We bought a lot of stuff and the total cost us only one thousand pesos. yipee!!!
The lot consisted of 7 onesies, 1 jumpsuit, 1 hooded receiving blanket, 3 bonnets, 2 mittens, 1 LS jacket and 3 burp cloths ( i can do well without because i already bought lampins kaso Bong slipped it into our lot kaya tuloy napasama).
By this time it was already lunchtime. We decided to eat at Bacolod Chicken Inasal to taste the Ysabella's Chicken. It was good but nothing to rave about. I was taken away by the telenovela kaya I thought it was really to-die for.
Next, we went to SM baby section. There were a little bit more selections than in Southmall. We were able to buy 4 pajamas for baby bear since it was on sale.
By this time I was already tired. I wanted to sit down but there were so many people around. And we still haven't received a text message from the ultrasound center to tell us if it was our turn already. We headed to Glorietta because I was interested in buying a Baby Couture diaper bag. Too bad the design that I wanted to buy, either a Madeline or Daphne, was out of stock.
Since Bong and I were really tired already from walking around, we decided to go to the ultrasound center and wait for out turn. At least there madaming upuan.
We waited for an hour but it was all worth it when we saw the face of Baby Bear. The OB asked Bong to buy a liter of water because Baby Bear's face was staying too close to the placenta which makes it difficult to view the face clearly. Nahalata tuloy na mahina ako sa tubig! LOL. Grabe ngayon lang ako nakainom ng isang litrong tubig in just one sitting! Halos pumutok na ang tiyan ko. Anyhoo, parang kamukha ng family side namin si Baby Bear. Tangos kasi nose ni Bong e si Baby Bear hindi masyado. At one point he smiled, opened his eyes a little and opened his mouth that we saw his cute little gums! Ang cute talaga! The session lasted about an hour and we were able to get 5 black&white photos and the medical report of Baby Bear right away. The 2 copies in sepia and our DVD copy will be given to us next week.
We made a quick dash to the Landmark to check out their baby section. There were also a lot of selections to choose from. There were a lot of pambahays(tie-sides and sandos) and unbranded linens to choose from. Dami na rin sale. We made a quick note that we'll be back here next week to buy the pambahays.
We left Makati tired but fulfilled.
But it didn't end there. We were set to meet my family together with my lolo and aunt for dinner at Manong's in Filinvest.
We were caught in the rush hour traffic. After an hour in the traffic, as we were approaching the Filinvest exit, Bong made a wrong exit and later realized we were already going to Laguna. Grrrrr..... that was one hour added to our travel time. I was already cranky because I sleepy and needed to pee (for the nth time since the 1L water that I drank during the ultrasound).
We arrived Manong's just in time for the meal to be served. The food wasn't that good kaya hindi ako masyado na-energized. Since kasama namin ang lolo ko e puro fish ang inorder. Hindi pa naman kami fish eaters ng mga brothers ko. We feasted on the sisig which was unsatisfactory.
Haaayy... this was what happened last Sunday.
I felt like getting sick.
Super sedentary lifestyle kasi. hehehe....
