What a beauty

My beautiful little girl. What more can I say.

Brochure for FohBuzz (Company for Social Media Restaurant Ratings)

 

This was a tri-fold brocure project I completed for my Adobe InDesign Class. 'Showin' off mah skills' (haha not so much), but it was fun to learn some of the basics of that program!

Explore! Philippines- Discover Your New Adventure

 

Another project for my Adobe InDesign course: our own personal webpage. Of course with our family being Fil-Am and all, I had to show some Pinoy pride! (;

New Life Photography- Portfolio Webpage Project

 

Adobe InDesign Assignment: Show our possible future portfolio webpage (if we were ever cool and/or talented enough to have a portfolio of our work, and were to have a website to show off our work). Well, this is what my website might as well start out looking like. 

(This is a picture of Kayelee right after she was born, by the way, what a beauty!)

Happy Tummy

 

This was a DVD Tutorial Label and Case project I completed for my Adobe InDesign course. Yup, that's my belleh. (Kinda miss it sometimes.) Hey now, let's not get ahead of ourselves. And readers, don't get mixed messages and jump ahead of yourselves. It's just nice sometimes to have that little lump on ya- to feel the little kicks- to eat what ever you want- to be glowing and be fat and everyone still thinks you're pretty even if you're sweating like a hog. And then you have the baby, and you deflate, and things get more complicated, and here's where reality sets in and reminds me to hold back my hormones. Ahh. Okay. 

I love my baby, and we'll (my husband, the Lord, and I) take our prayerful, thoughtful, time deciding about additions to our family.

Enough said.

Forget Not to Find Your Balance

 

These were posters I made for my Adobe InDesign course. They are actually one of my favorites, for some odd reason, especially the "Forget Not" poster. Perhaps that is because I loved the talk so much by President Dieter F. Uchtdorf that I also just fell in love with my poster because of the quote from him that I typed on it, haha. Either way, President Uchtdorf is an amazing man, I really wish he was my long lost uncle or something that lived down the street. He always seems to have the right advice when I need it most.

Clutz much?

Either I'm going crazy, or I am pregnant- nah, most likely both! Heh, I feel like I think that a lot lately! (:

Today, I just can't seem to keep it together, or at least hold myself upright without tripping, running into something, or dropping stuff all over the place (and myself). Some people say that hormones are to blame for making the muscles more loose, which leads to a lack of balance and coordination at times. Ah, yes, blame it on the hormones!

Anyway, the main trouble I'm having is dropping food all the time. Perhaps I dropped food a lot before I was pregnant, but I feel like my (now much larger that I'm used to) belly and chest make one giant food net whenever I eat something.

Haha, after eating, I feel like I look what people typically picture a couch potato as, with a big belly and crumbs/stains all down their shirt. (Kinda like this guy, minus the beer and chest hair! Hahaha). I don't sit around and watch TV all day like a typical couch potato, but being a Senior in college, I spend hours upon hours doing homework on the couch, saying we don't own a computer desk to work at. Oh well, at least my big tummy makes a nice remote control holder when I catch a break from school, right?

Ring of Fire

I have been pretty lucky in my pregnancy. No throwing up *knock on wood,* no swelling, and until recently, no annoying heartburn. Unfortunately, I am coming to know the feeling of unquenchable fire in my throat- the lovely heartburn monster that visits many pregnant women. Now, I can't seem to get the  song, "Ring of Fire" out of my head, perfectly fitting for my feelings.

In fact, I have never really had a problem with heartburn until now, even before I was pregnant. When hearing other pregnant women explain about their heartburn, I was always curious to know how it feels to have it. Ohhh! Be careful what you wish for, indeed. My love for my baby as well as food now makes me feel the Ring of Fire - a.k.a. my esophagus burning from stomach acid.

I have heard milk helps neutralize the acid. I am almost out of milk, though, and need to spare it to put in scrambled eggs I plan on making tomorrow morning for my hubby for Father's Day. Ah, what people do for the ones we love! In my case, that makes me feel the burn because of my baby, I have nothing to put out the fire because of my husband, yet, I feel the burning love for both of these wonderful loves of my life in my heart. I'd say, in that case, it's all worth it.

A Happy Day for Mama (:

I am 20 weeks, 1 day pregnant. 

My husband and I went to the doctor's office today to get an ultrasound and find out what we're having, and...      

--drumroll please--

It's a girl!!!

We're super excited! 

This makes it all feel more real. I can imagine holding a baby girl in a few short months, and it makes me want to become the best person so my baby girl will have the best Mama ever. (:
