Parent Chat

Favorite ng 18 month old twins ko ngayon is Mother Goose Club Nursery rhymes. I saw this lang at youtube then had it downloaded. Enjoy na enjoy sila dito :-)

I guess depends nga yan sa personality ng mga yaya na makukuha mo.  Before I had my babies, advice din sa kin ng friends ko to get a young yaya kasi mas madaling turuan at i-train.  Yung iba daw kasing older yayas, mas madami nang experience so mas madalas magmarunong.  In my experience, having gone thru almost 7 sets of yayas in a years time... itong mga latest yayas ko na both oldies - 39 and 52 y/o ako nakampante.  It's true medyo may mga nakaugalian na sila esp medyo mga taga bukid pa sila so ang dami nilang mga suggestions sa kin na health remedies and also mga pamahiin. I guess kasi I'm an old mom na din (I'm 40) kaya from the start pa lang napagsabihan ko na kung ano mga gusto ko at ayaw ko.  I told them that I respected their beliefs and syempre pinagmamalaki nila na malalaki na mga anak nila kaya nakabuhay na daw sila ng tao,  pero I'm still the mom kaya gusto ko, ako ang masusunod sa pagpapalaki ng mga kids ko.  I'm a SAHM naman din kasi so madali ko lang sila ma monitor.

Yung mga younger yayas ko, walang mag hilig sa bata. They'd rather text, sleep and watch TV. I don't know kung bakit pa sila namasukang yaya.  I guess they thought it would be just like taking care of their little brothers or sisters.  Syempre iba..

My 1 year old boys

Update lang ako,  I posted here whilst still pregnant with my boys. They are now a year old and our goldens are still living with us inside the house.  Although a few months before I gave birth naman talaga, hindi na namin sila pinapatulog sa kwarto in preparation for the coming of my babies.  36 weeks lang mga babies ko and only weighed 5.2 and 5.3lbs ( as expected with twins) pero they have been very healthy despite having the dogs still inside the house.  Parang guard na nga nila mga doggies ko, pag nasa kwarto or nasa banyo mga babies, andun lang din sila sa labas, pasilip silip.  :-)

Nagising na lang ako bigla may malakas na umagos na parang naihi pero hindi ko ma control. 3:30 in the morning yun.  Wala naman akong naramdamang masakit.  Nanganak ako 11 am na kasi CS naman.  Ok naman mga babies ko, 1 year na sila ngayon :-)
