Justin's 5th checkup

Justin had his checkup today. We arrived their a little early today but we are still 3rd in line. Hi classmate Coen Hopper is always early and Bea. When we let Justin lay down on the weighing scale, he cried very hard. He usually love to lay down on the weighing scale. But after a while, we agreed to sat on the weighing scale. He weighs 7.6 kilo or 16.7lbs. His increase today is a bit small but its OK since he is still within the normal margin. His head increased by 3cm from 40cm to 43cm. His height increase from 65cm to 66.5cm. Over all Justin is growing very well.

Today he had another vaccine which is the 3 in 1. (DTAP). He is very brave because when Dra. Teldy Chua inserted the injection he cried for few seconds then when the needle was pulled out, he immediately stopped. I think Justin is really brave unlike his mom. The vaccine cost 3,200.

Am I bad?

Last night Justin doesn't want to sleep again. He was crying very loud for 1 hour in our room. Michelle said that Justin doesn't want to sleep because we haven't sleep with him for several days already. She thinks that Justin wants yaya again. I'm sadden with this because she blames me for it. I got sick last week. Who wants to get sick. Is it my choice to get sick? I just can't understand why I'm always the one blamed on things. Am I really a bad person? bad husband? bad father?

I know that these are the things each couple will go thru in their journey. Relationship could sometimes be rough, but in the end I know all these things will be resolved. (I hope soon!)

What the future holds for me

I'm sick. Yes I'm seriously sick. After my blood test last Feb 14, 2009. We found out that my sgpt is too high. The normal rate is 43, while mine is 129. At first they speculate that I have hepatitis or it could also be a fatty liver. I consulted Dr. Ernesto Domingo and he had me have a test for hepatitis B and C. Thank God the result was negative. He diagnosed me having a fatty liver.

From now on, I cannot eat sweets because it could result me in having a diabetes. I cannot drink soft drinks, eat chocolates, ice cream, leche flan, cake, etc. I should also moderate my pork and beef intake.

I'm not really sad with his findings. For I understand that this is for my own good. I just have to learning eating vegetables. On the other side, I'm thinking that why these things are happening to me. Am I bad? Did I do anything wrong to deserve all these things? They say God has a purpose for everything, but I don't know what's the purpose of this. I know my life will definitely change and I'm really to accept all the changes and challenges.

a-line

Last night Justin don't want to sleep yet. We brought him to our room and play with him. Michelle keeps talking to him and make him clap his hands. Justin was so happy he giggles with sound. Then when we try to a-line with him, we are shocked to see him raised his finger to a-line with us. Justin seems to be so bright. And we're both happy to see his developments and milestones day by day.

Justin eats his foot

When I got home earlier from work, I saw Justin in our room with my parents and Michelle. Justin was eating his left foot. This the first time that we saw him eating his foot. Before, I already saw him trying to reach his foot but he ends up eating his finger. This is definitely another milestone for him and we're so happy to see it. Now i hope I can see him roll over.

Justin's development

Justin have been sleeping with us for the past weeks. So far there seem to have a lot of improvement. Michelle can now let Justin sleep without a yaya. Somehow we are happy that this happened. Justin doesn't woke up anymore during midnight. We just have to give him milk every 3 to 4 hours which gives us like 1 to 2 feedings at midnight.

This morning before we go to work, he is playing with his gym set. Watching his development make me think that he is really a gifted child and im sure he will talk and walk at an early age.

Justin have really grown a lot and we are very happy that he is healthy. Tomorrow will be his forth month (same with daddy's birthday).

I want to make justin famous

As a hobbyist photographer I dreamed of my photos be published in magazine. I was able to achieve that last year when i-mag photography (a photography magazine) published my photo when my photo was chosen in a contest.

Recently, I joined an online baby contest for Justin. I would like Justin's photo to be published in magazine. This time in baby magazine www.babycentral.com.ph . I joined the March contest which have a theme of Sleeping baby.

There are lots of mommies who joined the contest and I think I'm the only Dad who joined is registered in their site. Winning is easy, you need to have the most number votes, comments and views. Though I think it's kinda unfair for some because I see some participants who I believe created multiple accounts to comment and vote on their own entry. I hope that admin will really filter the multiple accounts user based on their IP addresses. Anyway, I hope Justin will win as the baby of the month even if some are cheating.

To anyone who would like to vote my baby you can go to this link. http://babycentral.com.ph/photogallery.php?photo_id=1019
