#theMOMMYnnaise
Yes! I finally found my mommy hashtag! See, this is one of the reasons why I love myself. I’m crazy. I’ve been using my online alias for almost nine years already. Thanks to the Tumblr people who made me come up to such username. Now I’m so attached to it I cannot think of something better. It’s like I’m already married to this name. Whatever.

You’ll feel me, too, soon you start writing Know…

5 reasons why I journal
I’m on bed rest for a week and that gave a problem I never dreamed of having – being bored. Yea, I got that ever since, bec I really don’t like doing nothing except when I’m eating or sleeping and have nothing else to worry about. But now, my OB advised to take complete bed rest for at least a week to avoid early contractions and abdominal pain. So yes, instead of risking my baby, I said yes to one week of boredom and maybe just get through one day at a time. When you are advised to have “complete bed rest” by your OB, it really should be COMPLETE…
