The weekend that was

Weekend is my most awaited day of the week because I can finally spend the whole day with AJ. Giving him a bath, feeding him, playing and talking to him, lulling him to sleep and I even look forward to changing his diapers. I guess I feel this way since I leave for work early (he is still asleep) and when my husband and I arrived home, he is either sleepy or sleeping so we don't get a chance to play or talk to him. Since its a long weekend ( Monday was declared Holiday - Ninoy Aquino Day) I was glad to spend an extra day with AJ. Unfortunately, my cough and colds are as excited to infect me as I am to spend QT with my boy. Saturday went by with a breeze, but I can feel my throat aching everytime I swallow. I know what's coming so I took some medicine and drank lots of liquid and prayed that it will go away.

Sunday morning, before the crack of dawn, I felt it. Fever rising. Oh no! Not now! We're going to the airport to meet up with my father-in-law who's arriving from LAX with Brian (our nephew, son of my hubby's brother). So I drank the ever trusted Biogesic and slept (my mom took AJ from our room). When I woke up, the fever was gone but I already got the freakin' cough. As my husband drove us to the airport, he decided to take EDSA, since its a Sunday, it should be clear from traffic...NOT! it took us almost an hour to reach Boni from Ortigas (which only takes less than a minute when the road is clear). What caused the traffic? A billboard from the MRT station fell and its hanging across EDSA. It will surely be a horrible sight when this billboard falls over motorist..or worst! US! What a relief when we passed through it safely. They should stop placing those billboards near the road. It's a disaster waiting to happened especially during typhoon and earthquakes.Grrr!(I'll rant about this some other time)

Anyway, obviously we were late and Papa Jun and Brian already arrived. We just then decided to meet up at Duty Free. Was not really in the mood for shopping since I'm under the weather. Temptation was everywhere.. the pink and brown $18 Havaianas, the Lacoste polo shirt and Lacoste bowler bag...argh! i'm so ready to swipe my credit card...but nope.. I won't bite, I still have to pay that gold's gym membership. So I settled for some pistachios which is a must buy everytime I'm in DutyFree. Before parting our ways (The balikbayan's will be staying in Batangas while they are here), Papa Jun gave me Uncle Edwin and Auntie Mayette's Christening gift for AJ. It's a cutie Baby Gap shirt and jumper. Ohh.. I can see AJ in it.. sooo cute!

The next day, Papa Jun, Dandin and Tito Rolly came to visit us at the apartment to see AJ. And more gifts for AJ arrived ... a cutie Gerber spoon and fork and some disposable ones from First Years and these two adorable outfits from Carter's. Can't wait for AJ to fit into these. Thanks Papa Jun and Mama Ems!

I imagined how cute AJ would be in these clothes all night.. I actually forgot that I was sick.
