Justin's have fever?

Justin seems to have a fever today. We checked it with an ear thermometer and he has 37.8. This is the first time that Justin got sick. I believe this was due to his vaccine yesterday. According to his pediatrician, if it is 37.8 or higher, we should give him medicine. We gave Justin calpol immediately.

This afternoon Justin's fever went down already. Thank God! It was so fast. Justin just took Calpol 2x.

Justin's 3rd checkup

Justin had his 3rd checkup today. We arrived in the clinic at 1:45pm by then we are already 4Th on the list. The clinic was supposed to start at 2:00pm but the doctor arrived at 3:00pm. Justin's classmate is also there today. He had another vaccine, it was a 5 in 1 vaccine which cost 3,200. Justin did not cry too much today. After the needle has been pulled out from his tights, he immediately stopped crying. Vaccines are really expensive. Dra. Teldy Chua told us that the IPV vaccine next month will cost 5,000 per shot. And Justin would need 3 shots of that. Better start saving up for the vaccine.

1st year wedding anniversary

They say sweetness stops when when you get married. For I as much as I can, I like to celebrate our anniversary yearly. And continue to give gifts to Michelle. This year we celebrated our first anniversary at Chili's tomas morato. I fetch Michelle from work and had dinner. After dinner we went to City Lifestyle to have a korean foot spa. We got home at around 10:30 already. By the time we got home Justin is already sleeping.

It was a simple yet a fun and memorable day for us. Because somehow we are able to spend some time together. ( just the two of us) Before we go to sleep I gave Michelle an anniversary present which is a nokia 6120c cellphone.

Happiness is for others and not for myself

Sacrifice sacrifice sacrifice! I believe this should be something that I must learn to get used to. Sometimes situation may be unfair for no matter how kind we are to others, I doesn't mean that you'll get the same treatment in return. I guess that's really the role of a husband, sacrifice everything for your wife. Seeing her happy definitely makes me happy but sometimes I also look for the support that I was expecting to get from her. I guess I really need to start accepting these as a facts and start serving others while sacrificing myself.

I'm writing this not because I have regrets or angry. I'm writing this because I want to express what I'm feeling. I love my wife very much especially our baby. Maybe this is just one thing about changes in a married life. And this is something I have to sink in to my mind. "Happiness is for others and not for myself".

Justins first visit to Gwama

We visited Michelle's family yesterday with Justin. They haven't seen Justin for a long time and everyone misses him already. First impression from them when they saw Justin was "ang laki na nya", "ang taba nya sobra". Michelle's mom carried Justin almost the whole day because she missed Justin so much.

Our yaya was on day off that day and she got home at around 5:30pm already. When she got home she was having a headache. That night we just let her sleep and rest. Justin slept in our room on our bed. He was crying the whole night and we had a hard time sleeping. Stopped after I changed his diaper and Michelle let him sleep on his tummy.

I know it's really hard to take care of a baby. But it was very challenging and fun.
