My former boss, Cat gave birth to a cute baby girl. She sent me MMS this morning.


Her name is Ashlyn Ho Shu Ern.

Congratulations! ☺

Bundle of Joy

Our nephew to Daddy Erik and Mommy Khryssy after a long long wait has finally arrived!

Name: Ethon Kristoff Banate
Nickname: Eon / Parents call him Pengi
Born: April 22, 2009 at 746am (Khryssy, correct me if I’m wrong) at the St. Luke’s Hospital.

He’s fragile yet so adorable. Haven’t carried him yet, I still don’t have the courage to do so but I’m touching him bit by bit. *heehee* He’s cheeks, arms and legs are so smooth like butter. Wanted to kiss him but maybe when he’s bigger. Hehehe.

I immediately sent a MMS to Xave (he’s at the farm) so he can have a peak of Eon. First thing he noticed was the lips, oh so red and the nose that he thinks Eon got from his Dad.

We took tons of pictures but will only share a couple here. I will let the Mom take the center stage and do the full documentation of what happened. I don’t want to steal the limelight to the brand new Mom, Khryssy. *wink* Congratulations! ☺ It’s all worth the wait, isn't it?

So here you go…

Eon at day 1

hmm, frowning at me baby? it's me your Tita Ninang ☺

he winked at me on his day 1 (heart melting!)

Go home soon Sweetie, we are all waiting for you! *hugs*

Gems

I got this from mail today.

A very special gift from my cousin Maya who is in Canada (born here, raised there). It's a wish bracelet for soon-to-be-moms. It is handmade of delicate rose quartz and moonstone beads caught between sterling bead caps and strung on hand-linked sterling silver. A sterling rope toggle and a sterling turtle charm complete the bracelet.

note from Maya, her hubby Marc and baby Mara

Moonstone is said to have powers that aid in nurturing receptivity and balancing of the emotions. It helps prepare mama-to-be to welcome new life into her body and into her life.

Rose quartz are the beads of love and fertility. They are said to help promote pregnancy and to protect the mother and unborn fetus from miscarriage.

Turtles are a potent symbol of both protection and fertility.

Thank you so much Cuz!☺☺☺

*****

Maya and I got married on the same date: March 29, 2008. It was a coincidence! They decided to have baby immediately while HubBEE and I opted to wait a little bit until we turn 1 year. We are going 1 in 11 days! *woohoo* It's been a year, seems like only yesterday... So, I guess this is the 'best time' if God permits. *wink*

Last month, she just gave birth to a beautiful baby girl named Mara.

vogue!

xoxo Mara!

So adorable, isn't she?
