Who's who? Ysha and Yza

I'm blessed with twins :) and 3 days from now, they will be 2 months old. I feel like they're growing so fast and I'm amazed by everything that makes them alike in many ways. However, I'm more interested in things that make them different from each other.

My Ysha (Elisha Velika)

Ysha is "Baby A" (as noted by the surgeon who conducted the CS operation). When she was born, she was very red - not pinkish but really reddish and I was so worried. They conducted a series of blood tests and other tests on her and after days of anxiety, they told me that she was indeed as healthy as her twin sister.


Ysha was the baby whom the US technician wrongly predicted to be a boy. She's slightly smaller (lighter) than Yza when she was born. Up to now, Yza is still bigger than her and the reason is obvious - Ysha is so active and she doesn't drink as much milk as Yza does.

Ysha loves breast milk more than bottled milk. I think she'll be a morena when she gets older. Also, her nosebridge is higher than ours (Yza, Yana, and me) and she loves sleeping on her back and on her side.


My Yza (Elyza Venise)

Now, my baby B has a lighter skin tone than Ysha, so much so that I also worried a lot when she was born. Fortunately, she too was very healthy. She was born 8 minutes after Ysha.


Yza is my 'tabachingching' baby. She can drink more than 4 ounces of milk straight. She also sleeps longer than Ysha. Unlike her sister, Yza is not picky with her milk - you can feed her with the powdered milk or breastmilk, it won't matter to her. She loves to sleep on her tummy.

Yza has a birthmark (where and what color I won't share here.. it's a mommy secret!) and she has more hair than Ysha. Yza looks pretty much like Yana.

Both of them love lullabies and you will have to cradle them to sleep. I also noticed that Yza's voice has a higher pitch than Ysha so I can tell which one of them is crying even when I can't see them :) Yey!

Mommy Moments: Welcoming MY TWINS :)

In just a few weeks (probably less than 3), we will be welcoming the twins - a boy and a girl. The target date is to reach my 38th week which is Feb 20. I hope I can make it through and successfully reach that target though I'm also a bit delighted by the idea of my twins being born a bit earlier - perhaps Feb 14 :) (but if that will cause them harm - in any way whatsoever, then away with you v-day bday thoughts!) Anyway, my eldest - my lovely bubbly Yana - just turned one two days ago and I am really not sure how she would welcome the twins. I just hope she'd be able to manage it. Right now, I know that she's quite protective of - and very much connected to - me. I can still remember how scared she was and how loudly she cried when my ob placed a doppler on my tummy and she heard the heartbeats. She might have assumed that the doctor was hurting me somehow so she started crying and she tried to pull my ob away from me. At night (or should I say early morning), she won'

Real Leaf Paparazzi

I have never been a fan of sodas. Nor did I ever engage in a one-night spree with beer or vodka. Instead, I have always loved ice-cold tea. Drinking tea is a habit I’ve developed since I was in college and my ‘tea-addictivity’ has never wavered since. I’ve patiently put up with teabags for years but fortunately, bottled-up teas are now available and distributed in heaps. These days, I’m much fond of Nestea’s Real Leaf Tea and I share this fondness with my two closest “allies” – my partner in life and my younger brother. W hat follows is our one big atte mpt to encourage more people to engage in our quest for a Real Life with Coca Cola’s Real Le af tea (and of course, an attempt to get a prize from Nuffnang's exciting contest- Real Leaf Paparazzi!)… This is the typical “Juan” trying to have a Real Life. With the help of the Real Leaf tea, my brother 'John' tries to stay 100% on. He tries to relieve the exhaustion, stress, and anxiety brought by… (a) a hard day’s work as a n

Life In Taborea: The World Of Runes Of Magic

Runes of Magic (RoM) is a free massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed by the Taiwanese developer Runewaker Entertainment. It's here in the Philippines now, and has been in Open Beta since January 8. My brother is addicted to the game and I have read a lot of rave reviews about it. The most frequent of which is the fact that its graphics are very appealing and quite realistic. S et in a fantasy world filled with magic, monsters, and heroes, it gives you an out of this world experience as you try out a variety of quests and battle with f ellow players and monsters. Whenever you take on your character - may it be a rogue, mage, priest, warrior, or knight, you will feel as if you're leading a double life. Those who have loved DOTA and World of Warcraft will definitely enj oy this game more.
