However, no school accepts a 2-year old. Shaynna is already 3 years old, so she now goes to Montessori School in Iligan City. Weeks before the start of classes, she's been bugging everyone at home about going to school. She even narrated that if Papa were still alive, Papa would also be there on her first http://shaynna-lexine.blogspot.com/2008/06/off-to-pre-school.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (shiera (bisdakbabbles))0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4980375775819773727.post-6844333523961648678Thu, 22 May 2008 05:30:00 +00002008-07-10T11:02:14.484-07:003-year oldLast April, a month before my father's death, he was hospitalized due to heart attack, the first attack. When he was still in the hospital, I promised to let him visit his hometown in Bohol after his recovery. He had always loved being with his siblings and relatives. A month later, he died in his beloved hometown. Mama, my sister, and Shaynna were with him in Bohol.

However, if all the pains and discomfort afterbirth are combined, labor pains couldn't compare. It took me more than 15 days to physically recover. Then there's the bust pains because Shaynna's now bottle-fed. The most difficult of all: depression. I don't know why I easily and often get depressed. I can't explain why I'm overly sensitive and always http://shaynna-lexine.blogspot.com/2004/11/postpartum.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (shiera)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4980375775819773727.post-6423993207692884507Thu, 21 Oct 2004 10:55:00 +00002007-10-17T09:25:05.925-07:00First MonthShaynna's cold and cough just disappeared but there's another thing that almost gave me a heart attack: she has some red, tiny spots in her face and her arms! Rashes? Allergies? The doctor advised us to avoid using baby powder, baby oil, anything on that could be applied on the skin. (Of course I didn't applied any of these to her) We were also told to change the laundry soap used to wash http://shaynna-lexine.blogspot.com/2007/10/2nd-visit-to-pediatrician.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (shiera)5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4980375775819773727.post-5918223115135309284Wed, 20 Oct 2004 10:52:00 +00002007-10-17T09:24:49.516-07:00First MonthShaynna is still a week old... but she already got colds... and cough! Plus, her skin color turned somewhat yellowish. This really freaked me out and brought her immediately to the pediatrician. We were given some very mild cough medicine and some sort of vitamins.

She had my younger sister 20 years ago... a good reason, don't you think? Yes? No?Anyway, since it would also be my first time to give less-than-a-month baby a bath, we really should seek professional help... meaning, calling Shaynna's other grandma to help us out.

God, after-birth pains were even more painful!As we approached the nursery, we heard a baby crying sooo loud and laughed when I found out that it was my baby.Everyone, meet Shaynna Lexine:She weighs 6 pounds and she has this purplish birthmark in her ankle.http://shaynna-lexine.blogspot.com/2004/10/hello-shaynna-lexine.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (shiera)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4980375775819773727.post-8839305263769201988Mon, 11 Oct 2004 16:22:00 +00002007-10-11T09:37:03.011-07:00BirthAround 12:30am, the labor pains became more frequent: around 15-minute intervals. I did mybest to ignore the pains so I kept talking and kidding with those who went with us to the hospital. I bravely put on a cheerful face that the nurse who kept on checking me couldn't believe that I am already in labor... and in so much pain!By the way, there were about 5 women who "waited" with me: my http://shaynna-lexine.blogspot.com/2007/10/delivery.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (shiera)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4980375775819773727.post-6001611473713124564Mon, 11 Oct 2004 16:19:00 +00002007-10-17T08:54:41.734-07:00PregnancyI was really tired from last night's ordeal that I slept until after lunch time. Then I noticed some bloody spots and was told that I'm on labor! The labor pains were not that frequent yet and were still neglible but I made preparations, anyway. I was really scared of the pain that I was going to face but I did my best not to think about it and practiced more those breathing patterns.Night http://shaynna-lexine.blogspot.com/2004/10/why-are-you-here.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (shiera)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4980375775819773727.post-8297971013556391112Sun, 10 Oct 2004 16:17:00 +00002007-10-17T08:54:59.455-07:00PregnancyMy mother had to go to Cagayan de Oro and everyone in the house was going with her. So there'd be no one to look after me when the time comes. My mother figured out that it would be more convenient to take me along with her. Taking along tons of pillows for cushioning, I tagged along. We took one of our passenger jeepneys so we were able to go to the SM Mall in Cagayan de Oro City where I did http://shaynna-lexine.blogspot.com/2004/10/stranded.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (shiera)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4980375775819773727.post-8592974249585846005Fri, 01 Oct 2004 16:13:00 +00002007-10-17T08:55:13.546-07:00PregnancyI forgot how boring it was when there's no internet connection! So I had to buy a modem and make do with the dial-up internet connection. I'm praying that my baby would arrive early so that I would get to spend more time with her.Yeah, I decided to name her "Shaynna Francine". But when my brother heard about it, he was ecstatic, thinking that I named my baby after him.

First, the delivery cost is very high, and it's hard to find someone to help me take care of the baby.So that I won't have any problem upon boarding the ship, I went to my ob-gynecologist, had my final checkup and got a medical certificate from her that I am still fit to travel and board a http://shaynna-lexine.blogspot.com/2004/09/my-assistants.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (shiera)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4980375775819773727.post-935157829288914525Sat, 04 Sep 2004 16:07:00 +00002007-10-17T08:55:39.819-07:00PregnancyI've done some preparations... but not buying things for the baby. I already applied for maternity leave early this month. Haven't bought even a piece of clothing so I am very grateful that she's waiting for her 9th month, unlike me.

So Guia, my officemate, suggested to temporarily call her "Watashi", the Japanese word for "me/I". My officemates are also as excited as I am so they created a forum for baby name suggestions.These are the ones that caught my interest:1. Ross Elise - Suggested by Nathan.
