What's going on?

[Fingers not typing.]  

That's weird.   I went to write a blog entry and have so much running through my mind that I don't know where to begin.  Hmmm...

Well, let's begin with everyone's favorite subject on this blog- Ella bug.  :)  Bug is almost 6 weeks old come Saturday and she is beginning to interact a lot more (as much as a two month old can, anyway).  Why, just the other day she stayed awake for 4 hours and she was even crying!  I'm amazed by how grown up she already is! :P

The other night I received a phone call from work around 8pm.  I thought to myself, "Who's calling me at 8pm?'  It was my boss.  She said she was just thinking of me, but she seemed kind of sad.  So I asked her how things were going.  She responded with, "When are you coming back again?"  [Not a good sign.]  Although I love being home with Bug, I do miss work.  Well, maybe not so much the work, but having some adult conversation...or any conversation for that matter...just having someone respond to me.  I've been home with the baby for 5 1/2 weeks and to be honest, it's tough talking to someone who can't talk back to you (in words, anyway...screaming she can do just fine).  

What's going on with Dad?  Funny you should ask because I don't have much of a clue.  Since the baby's been born, he went from very minimal work, to too much.  Weird how God answers your prayers, right?  Daddy is still busy working late and Bug and I are very thankful to my parents for 1-keeping Mommy company 2-putting  Bug to bed and 3-bringing dinner!  (Nope, I have not perfected cooking in between feedings yet.  Grand total of dinners I've made since the baby has been born- 5...maybe.  I'm getting better, though.)

Bug has had many firsts since the last blog update, some them include taking a trip to Daddy's work to meet the TetraTech team.  Here are some photos...


This is Tammy.  She's been my mommy-to-be counselor throughout my pregnancy.  She has information about everything mommy related.  <3

Another first for Bug was getting to meet my grandparents (Papang and Mamang).  They ADORE her...if "adore" can even begin to describe how they feel.



Thanks to the hubs for wanting to capture 4 generations.  Love this.

New developments in the Dressler family:
1-Bug has decided that she likes to sleep with one arm up and out of her swaddle...for every nap.

2-When McKayla gets hyper and runs around the house, she makes a special run around Bug's co-sleeper and meows incessantly.  This is new.  

3-McKayla sleeps in the living rom to avoid the cries at night.  I'm not sure how much more sleep she's getting.  We live in an apartment.   

4-When Bug turned 1 month old, she decided she would like to stay up late and not go to bed until 12am.  How many nights has this occurred?  Can't even count 'em.  She still sleeps until 5:30am, but still.  I'd like to get to bed earlier.  

That's all for now, folks.  The babe cries...must be feeding time. :)

God Bless, 
Kat

4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 month Cub (9, 10, 11 too)

Clearly I've missed a few monthly updates of the Cub.  I apologize.  We were busy and life has literally taken us for a whirlwind ride.  To be really honest, I lost a lot of motivation to write these past few months because I've every time I started to write, all I could think to write about was my grandpa, Papang, how much I've missed him, and the endless tears that came out when I thought of him.  Every time I reflected back on the moments with my kids and my family, I seemed to cry, thinking of how much he's missed even in the short 5 months he's been gone.  After months of tears and prayers, I feel like I'm officially starting to feel like I'm healing.  While I know I may not heal completely, I can function without tears flowing from my eyes every moment of silence. Cubby has grown quite a bit (to say the least) since my 3 month update.  Here is the gentle giant's growth in months 4, 5, 6, and 7. This weekend, Cubby turned 8...

A Kinder Grad

Kindergarten can really take a toll on the parents.  (Yes, I meant to say parents.)  I knew we were in for a lot of activities and volunteering, but I did NOT know that it would become a second job to be an involved school parent.  I was told that by volunteering and being involved, it would give your kids (and their classmates) all the benefits.  At a private school (especially a Catholic private school), if there aren’t any volunteers, there aren’t many activities.  So ultimately, I knew I had to participate.  Could I have cut down on the activities I chaired or took part in?  Sure.  Why didn’t I?  [Insert long sigh here.]  Because in the end, I realized that I wasn’t sending my child to a private school because it was better than the public schools in the area.  (We actually have great public schools in our district.)  I was sending my child to a private Catholic school so she could learn about her faith.  The most imp...

9 years later...

This is the story of a dentist-in-waiting-nomad, Angela (a.k.a. my sister, "Ate"-[for those who don't speak Filipino, pronounced "a-teh"]) and a basketball playing of an engineer. Freshman year: boy sees girl and never speaks to her. Senior year: boy befriends girl's sister and gets his chance. A winter formal came along. Boy asked. Girl accepted. Boy meets girl's brothers (eek!), mom, and dad (EEK!). They danced. Girl moves to San Francisco, then San Jose. Boy moves to San Jose. Boy moves back to Valencia. Girl stays in San Jose. This summer, girl will move back to Valencia. Soon, boy and girl will finally be getting married! 9 years later! I have yet to express how excited I am that my sister and Louie are finally getting married. (Not that they needed to tie the knot to officially make Louie a part of our family.) For nine years, Louie has become another big brother to me and an Uncle "Looouuuwweeeee" to my nieces- always willing to d...
