We stayed at Farm Hills Garden few weeks ago for my "DIY" Maternity Shoot slash Jr Artes kiddie pool party slash may pa surprise Baby Shower pala.
I don't even know where to begin with my gratitude.
I feel like, my friends have been more than generous when Mommy passed.
Still, they threw a shower for our little one and made my heart full.
DIY Maternity shoot was not exactly done by ourselves. Dan's husband, Mr. Rudio ang photographer namin.
He's a talented photographer, and I'm grateful he said yes to take our photos.
Wala naman ako demands or what not, pero ang bongga, parang ilang cameras din dala nya. He's still working on post processing. Excited na ko to see the output. I plan to have some of them printed on a photobook.
Mas mauuna pa talaga to kesa sa wedding album namin.
Donna, Doe's sister did my makeup.
After dinner, kaya pala nauna na magsi balikan sa room yung iba, they were already setting up their surprise.
Hindi nila ko nakalimutan this time papuntahin sa venue (unlike nung Bridal Shower ko, another kwento - na hindi ko pa rin nagawaan ng post).
It probably worked to their advantage na medyo matagal i-process ng restaurant yung bill.
Dan baked the cake and cupcakes. Reiko made the cake toppers and had the balloons set up.
I was wondering kelan nila pnrep yon - di ko namalayan kahit medyo tabi tabi lang rooms namin.
I previously sent my "wishlist" to Mina and Doe. They all got me something from the list.
Sobrang grateful ko - pinigilan ko lang talaga maiyak kasi my face gets sooooo puffy at may pictorial pa kami in the morning lol.
Na-feel ko rin na na-happy si Ali and he also did not see it coming.
We're truly blessed with amazing people around us.
Marami na rin kami natanggap na gifts prior to this shower.
Swerte rin na maraming cousins na boys at mapapakinabangan namin mga ginamit and napag liitan nila.
Di ko maiwasang malungkot though, kasi ganto yung mga kwento na gusto ko i-share kay Mommy. I guess, ganon talaga, it cannot be helped.
She would have been happy to hear the details of the shower; also she would have probably get her bunsong apo something thoughtful.
Actually, kahit mga mini kwento, she was always happy to hear them; gusto nya yun keeping up with us.
Number 1 liker daw ni Ali si Mommy sa Facebook. Nalungkot din ako kasi I know ganon din sya makibalita samin magkakapatid and her apos; bukod sa family group chat. Pero since ayaw ko mag Facebook, I tried to reach out to her otherways, not sure if it were enough.
I just miss her terribly.
On another note, di ko na sure kung kelan kami due. I'm excited to meet our son. His kicks are getting stronger, as if I need to be reminded that a little person is in my womb.
Naguluhan na ko sa due date ko dahil di match early scan vs LMP. My OB wants us to follow LMP but all other resource tell me that early dating scan ang mas accurate.
Wish ko lang, wag saktong Christmas or New Year.
So many things to prepare for.
You keep me going my little one. I can't wait to meet you!
