Breastfeeding Guilt

Being a first time mom, I know, this is not a reason for ignorance. A lot of people had advised me to do this and do that. After giving birth, my breast is full of milk that left me agonizing with pain. Although, I am in pain, they told me to let the baby suck it. But when my baby sucked it, he stopped, cried and looked for the bottle. He got only a drop of milk from my breasts.

Then some people would say, you have big melons, why can't you give milk? It irritates me; I wish I know. In my heart, I cried; in my mind, I don't know what to do anymore. A mother whom I have a chance to talked have told me that:
  • Breastfeeding made her relax unlike formula-feeding, you have to wake up every 2 - 3 hours to prepare baby's milk in a bottle.
  • The baby urinate less, meaning less diaper changing. Whereas, babies who are formula-based frequently urinates.
  • The breast milk-based baby is closer to his mother.
  • Breastfeeding is the cheapest milk in the whole world.
The guilt of not breastfeeding my baby has turned to fear. I want to get close to my baby. He's my first baby in my 38 years of life. Also, it's financial matter, I am afraid, time will come, we can not afford to buy his milk and diaper. He's growing and his needs grows with him, everyday. My husband is the only one working with meager salary.


I breathe guiltiness, fear and pain in my heart. I am sad. How I wish someday I will earn for my baby's needs. Sana, napa-breastfeed ko siya.

Contests! Contests! Contests!

Yes, I am a bit busy in joining different contests and giveaways. Say crazy over contests. Win or lose, it doesn't matter as long as you try your best. The fun in joining those contests counts more than the prize. But, who knows? :D You'll find it on Facebook and bloggers website; from coupons, gift certificates to gadgets, name it. It's fun and really entertaining that I really crave for more time online.

You will find the contest and giveaways on my other website. Click the link here, "Earn Money Online".

Oh, I gotta go, my husband was fidgeting and playing his fingers on the table. That means, my time is over from sitting in the server. Well, actually, it's his place and I try to take over when he carry and sleep with the baby. Gotta grab that time!

Good luck to all of us, contestants. May we WIN!! :)

Commenter on SEA-MARJ

A friend asked my help on writing an article about SEA-MARJ to spread the word and also she needs comments on her page. I even wrote a link where to write comments. But, as it turned out, their comments were on my article.

 I decided not to approve their comments yet because I stopped writing a few months ago for a reason. I want to ask Liz first; what had happened with her fight against the SEA-MARJ. But then, comments kept pouring in on my article (good and bad) until today. I received in my inbox a long comment from an anonymous person.
Honestly, this anonymous person made my conscience blue. I didn't realize that a lot of people are researching the net for SEA-MARJ info and I haven’t approved the comments way back. So, I decided to post/approved the comments first before asking Liz. The exchange of comments might help them out.

UPDATE:
All active job posting of Sea-Marj has been updated.
There will be a training fee if the job seeker has the interest to apply.

The Christmas Gift – Late Post

Honestly, I love researching online. Sometimes, I’ll help (with pay) some high school students when I am in the mood, with their school assignments and projects. Oh, I’ll scrutinize first if the student has no knowledge when it comes to online research. Some students lie and give their responsibility to the internet staff and rent a computer to play computer games.

When you research, mostly answers are in English language because it’s universal. Until, I came across a Filipino version of Answers.com. Questions posted are in Filipino language. Some questions were like elementary and high school assignments based on subjects. Without a doubt, I decided to create a profile and start contributing answers that I know. Also, I searched my answers through the internet, since it’s in English, I translate it into Filipino.

Being a new profiler, I was only thinking of sharing and posting answers because I am mostly on the net, that time. Besides, spending a few minutes of your time contributes and helps big for people who are looking for answers. Then, someone contacted me and thanked me for the contribution; it was JayveeRouge – a top contributor and community manager. After months with it (Christmas is nearing), Jayvee asked for my address because the main office of Answers.com, would like to give a Christmas gift as their way to thank a contributor! Wow, I thought it was only a small token or a t-shirt. But, I was surprised when I saw my husband struggling with a large frame of something.


When I saw it, it made me very, very happy. The gift was timely because I was pregnant then and it’s very helpful.



 Thank you very much Answers.com

I Give Birth, Finally!

First week of March, I visit my ob for the weekly check-up. I was then preggy at 37 weeks. I showed her the result of my pelvic ultrasound and she only nod. Then she touched my tummy and felt its difference. She then told me to lie down on the bed for the i e (don’t know the exact word for it). The result was 1-2 cms and anytime, I’ll give birth and advised me to ring her anytime.

Baby Chriz
Finally, I gave birth to a healthy baby boy, more than 3 weeks ago. He weighs 3.3 kilos and fair skin. It was funny to hear him cried out loud after he’s out of my womb. Every doubts and fear for my baby’s development’s gone. I release an air of gladness. Thank God, it’s normal and I have no complications.

Finally, I can see him and hold him in my arms!

Finally, I have a baby – my own baby!
