Currently – April 2017

April 30, 2017 by Sheila | A B & Me 5 Comments

Currently APRIL 2017

 

“Mommy, it could be a girl AND a boy because your tummy is big. Soooooo big.” – Blake, 5

It’s been a while so I figured I’d open up with a statement my little one said to me one morning. Kids have no filter, don’t they?

Anyways, I missed March currently because we were vacationing that time and to be really honest, I wasn’t feeling it. In case you’re wondering, I am pregnant!! (hence B’s statement). I haven’t been feeling well lately so I took a break from blogging. But I feel guilty abandoning this space so here I am, trying to start over. 

I’m currently:

…starting to show. The bump is now 17 weeks. Those know me probably won’t notice because I’m big to begin with but yeah, my clothes are tighter and not because I over ate. :p

…enjoying the second trimester. I was knackered on the first three months. I don’t remember experiencing this with B before. In fact, I didn’t have aversion to food (only really strong scents), but its different this time. Onions and I are not friends. 

…planning for the future. I mean … the near future. More deets on a separate blog post I guess. 

…needing a break. My doctor is concerned about my situation since I’m not young anymore and has a history of miscarriages. On top of that, my blood pressure is acting up. I was advised to take it easy.

…feeling anxious. It’s still early but I just want to get this over and done with. Is that a bad thing? I have a lot of thoughts about this pregnancy and I’m not even sure if I want to share them. I guess I’ll have to “take it slow” — just like what the doctor ordered. 

What’s happening with you lately? Leave a comment below!

Hey there! I’m a mom of two who loves to crochet. Balancing work and motherhood is crazy, but I handle it with love and humor. With my eldest entering her tween years, the chaos just got a whole lot more interesting!

I’m fueled by coffee and dream of working from home. When I need to chill, I turn to my trusty essential oils. They’re my secret weapon for staying sane in the madness.

Join me for mom life, crochet, and my journey to work from home and retire before life passes me by.

Hello!

Hey there!
We’re a Filipino family of four figuring things out in California after living in Dubai for years. This space is part blog, part memory box—where we share life lately, parenting wins and fails, travels, and everything in between.

Sometimes it’s deep, sometimes it’s funny, but it’s always honest. Thanks for hanging out with us!

I’ve been thinking a lot about the whole “YOLO I’ve been thinking a lot about the whole “YOLO” mindset. It sounds fun — and sometimes it IS harmless. But when we let it guide our decisions without pause… it can turn into a habit of acting first, thinking later. 

This post is just something I made to process that idea. What if we shifted from the YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE to YOU ONLY DIE ONCE? 

It’s not being a buzzkill. It’s about modeling self-control, delayed gratification, and faith in action—even when it’s not popular. 

What do you think: YOLO or YODO?

Ps. I shared more of the story behind this thought over on @threads if you’re curious (same handle!)

You’re really a hard habit to break.
