Just got back from my monthly prenatal appointment today. I had my glucose screening test, 3rd sonogram or ultrasound and attended an epidural class. They recorded my weight and blood pressure, my urine sample was examined and they measured the height of my fundus.

It's been a long time since I haven't seen my baby inside my womb and she's getting bigger now, weighing 3 lbs and 15 ounces on her 30th week(the average weight of an American size baby inside the womb is 2.91 lbs). The result of the glucose exam will be given next month at my next check-up. I hope the result is fine. Anyway, my baby is always fidgeting and I always see her through my skin. The peak of her activity is at night, making it hard to sleep sometimes. Time really flies by so fast! I'll be seeing her in about 10 more weeks from now!

My friend's new house is almost done but there are some things that she wanted to add to beautify it. She is looking for exterior shutters online and asked for my suggestion on what color and style to choose that will match the color of her house.

The vinyl shutters are easy to install, durable, virtually maintenance free and are guaranteed to last for 40 years. She agreed with my opinion and will consult with her husband about it.

Spring is my favorite season of the year. It's nice to see the blooming flowers and enjoy the warmth of the weather after the cold winter. Anyway, have you started your garden yet? It's planting time again and I guess most of you already started planting your favorite flowers, fruits and vegetables. But some of you may be unfortunate to have encountered annoying insects pestering your plants. Well, worry no more! There's a new, effective and ready-to-use insect spray that you can use to kill 45 different insects species at all stages of life – from eggs to adults! It's the EndALL insect spray!
It can kill insects whether they are hard bodied or soft bodied insects like aphids, various beetles and bugs, caterpillars, leafhoppers, larvae and more. Plus, this insect spray is OMRI®-listed and compliant for use in organic gardening. By the way, do not apply this product during the heat of the day in order to prevent photo toxicity (burning from the sun). I would love to try this product as it can effectively kill even the eggs of insects on contact and there is no need for harsh chemicals that can stay in the soil long term. It can be applied at the first sign of infestation on flowers, fruits, vegetables, lawns, landscapes, ornamentals and houseplants. Aside from that, Endall is an organic insect spray. The unique formulation of organic insecticides has been blended to kill on contact. Organic Pyrethrin and soap kill adult and larval stages while Neem oil kills the eggs to prevent re-infestation.

Stop worrying about the pests in your garden. Try EndALL insect spray now to kill those insects that are bothering your plants.

Will Thumbelina still hold the title of world's smallest horse? Thumbelina is the official title holder for the world's smallest horse from the Guiness Book of World Records. She is stout with short limbs like many dwarf animals. It was published in the news today that Einstein, the pint-sized pinto which was born on Friday in New Hampshire might claim the title of the smallest horse in the world. He weighs only 6 lbs and measures 14 inches in height, no signs of dwarfism(unlike Thumbelina) but just a tiny horse. Let's wait and see the result since Dr. Wagner already sent an application to the Guinness Book of World Records.

Are you using a GPS device to guide you to and from your family activities, business meetings, vacation travels and more? It's very reliable and accurate to use isn't it? My husband and I are so thankful that we bought a GPS device which is very useful especially when we are traveling for a vacation or going to a friend's or family's activities. Below is a picture of our GPS device while we were traveling 13 hours from our house all the way to Texas and we arrived at our destination fast and hassle free. We have been using this device for about a year now and it's about time to update the map on our GPS device. I have read online about the NAVTEQ’s Map Update Month and May is map update month for many GPS systems. By the way, NAVTEQ is the company whose technology and maps drive most of the in-car navigation systems and the leading brands of GPS-enabled devices in the US. Our GPS device brand is Garmin and is one of them too. There are thousands of new roads built now as well as subdivisions, establishments and more so we really need to update our GPS maps. It will make us certain that we get accurate, detailed and up-to-date information while traveling, helping us drive with confidence. It also helps maintain optimum performance from our system, can also cut down our driving time, reduce fuel consumption and save up money at the same time. It even reduces CO2 emissions by 20% just by driving with a GPS device according to NAVTEQ Navigation Benefits study.

Visit www.mapupdatemonth.com and update your GPS map now by following the drop-down menus which correspond to your system or device. So what are you waiting for?

I have read before that Thumbelina received the title of world's smallest horse from the Guinness Book of World Records, but will the miniature stallion in the picture named Einstein claim the title of the smallest horse in the world?

The pint-sized pinto was born Friday in Barnstead, New Hampshire and weighs only 6 lbs and measures 14 inches in height. Its proportions are just like a human baby but too tiny for a size of a normal horse. In the Guinness Book of Records, the smallest newborn horse weighed only 9 pounds. According to the breeders, unlike Thumbelina - the current record holder, Einstein shows no signs of dwarfism and he's just a tiny horse. Dr. Rachel Wagner, Einstein's co-owner, already sent an application to the Guinness Book of World Records to see whether the pint-sized pinto qualifies as the world's smallest horse.

At first, what do you think is the object sticking on the man's face? A stick? Well, you are right! But it's not just an ordinary stick. It's a Phobaeticus Chani, an insect stick and is the longest insect in the world. It measures 56.7cm in length (with the body of 35.7cm) and was discovered near Gunung Kinabalu Park, in the "Heart of Borneo", in the tropical rainforest.

I've seen a person in the past with one extra finger, but 14 fingers and 16 toes is much more. A 6 year old boy from China with 15 malformed fingers and 16 toes underwent a successful surgery at a hospital in Shenyang Liaoning province on March 23, 2010 to remove the extra fingers and toes. A gene mutation contributed to the aberrance according to the experts. He is scheduled to leave the hospital today, April 12.

I remembered when I was still a kid, I used to play Tetris. I love playing it and beating the score of my sisters. How about you guys? Have you had fun playing with it too? My niece gets addicted to the same kind of game too called TetWord PRO! She played it online through funbrain arcade.TetWord PRO takes Tetris into a whole new level wherein you will be given four choices of game modes: easy tetword, hard tetword, Not Latter(easy) and Not Latter(hard). The player can either choose to play basic Tetris or Tetword. This game is very educational since you have to build words of three letters or more using the tiles that fall from the top of the playing area. You can compose words either horizontally or vertically and multiple words can overlap each other. I actually had fun playing Tetris a while ago and my niece and I are competing for the highest score. Anyway, aside from educational games at funbrain arcade, you will find other games that might interest you like action, adventure, board game, casino, customize, dressup, driving, education, fighting, puzzle, rhythm, shooting, sports and strategy games and more. There are lots of games to choose from so visit the site now and enjoy the games.

While I was "googling" for a baby crib online, I saw a YouTube video entitled "Father goes into Baby Crib" by NunzioRaso. I find the video cute with the sweet daddy and the adorable little girl. Just wanted to share it with you, especially with parents who can relate to this.

Hi to all married couples out there! Are you a bit bored lately? Maybe both of you can do something together to reignite your marital spark. How about having a date this coming Friday? Yeah guys! This Friday make a date and watch the Date Night Movie!. "Date Night" is a comedy film starring Steve Carell as Phil Foster and Tina Fey as Claire Foster, and directed by Shawn Levy. The movie will be released on Friday, April 9, 2010 here in the US. I have watched the trailer of the movie and the story seems interesting to me. Plus, the couple are funny. You can watch the trailer of the movie below:



To tell you a bit of the Date Night movie, Steve Carell and Tina Fey are a bored suburban couple, so much so that even their "date nights" of dinner and a movie have become routine, and so to reignite the spark of their marriage, they visit a trendy Manhattan Bistro. But they find themselves thrown into a night of intrigue - there’s breaking and entering, a car chase, a shootout and a showdown with an underworld boss at a strip club. The couple come out of the adventure with some scratches and also with their ardor renewed. Their date becomes a night they'll never forget! Interesting movie, isn't it? By the way, you can read the full New York Times article here.

So save the date! Don't forget to watch it on Friday, April 9!

How's your Easter Sunday celebration guys? My husband and I had a great Easter Sunday. We went to the church in the morning then had an Easter lunch together with my parents-in-law and had a good talk thereafter. Oh! I can't wait for my husband and I to hide Easter eggs for our little girl to hunt and tell her about the Easter Bunny. Being a soon-to-be parent is really exciting!

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Alvin and the Chipmunks. All opinions are 100% mine.Hey moms and dads! Do you have memories of Alvin and the Chipmunks from when you were still a kid? I bet you do! If you could remember, could you share it with me and with the readers of my site? There's an Alvin and the Chipmunks Song that I really like to sing especially during holidays! Guess what it is? It's the "All I want for Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth" hehe. Why? Because aside from the fact that it is an entertaining song, it reminds me of my youngest sister when she only had 2 teeth when we were still kids. I would usually sing it to her just to make fun of her and from then on I have loved to sing that song. Until now, that song reminds me of my younger sister and oh I miss her. Anyway, good news for Alvin and the Chipmunks fans! If you and your kids are one of them, get your squeak on with the Squeakquel. You can have twice the fun for the price of one when you get the movie and the bonus Squeak Along disc with munktastic games and sing alongs! "Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squekquel" is available on DVD, Blu-ray and Digital Download. I suggest that you check out this family friendly film. Add it to your home collection and buy it now!My niece and nephew love to "munk" themselves at http://www.munkyourself.com. I myself tried it and it's fun.

Although winter is over, I am still looking for a hooded jacket online because usually jackets are on sale after winter. Guess what? I have found the brand I am looking for and it's on sale! Yipeee! I can save about $29 on North Face Women's OSO Hoodie. I so like the style of the jacket that I have found online. I also love the North Face brand because of its high quality. Not only that, information and customer service sets them apart from on-line stores, local shops, and large retail boxes. In fact, it was voted the Breckenridge Chamber of Commerce Customer Service Business of the Year! If you are looking for high quality jackets and other gear, I suggest that you check out North Face.

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Dermajuv Skin Care Products. All opinions are 100% mine.

Almost all women love taking care of their skin. I love my skin and when it comes to skin care products I'm so picky, so I only choose the best brands that work great for me and stick to them. Before I go to bed and in the morning I pamper my skin with a facial wash and skin care cream to remove dirt and make up on my skin and to maintain my healthy glowing skin. By the way, I'm turning 30 in a few months. Oh no! it's when a person's age starts to set in and wrinkles start to appear! The most common areas where people first notice their wrinkles are across the forehead and around the eyes so it is important to take care of our skin with wrinkle cream. I've heard from people I've known that Dermajuv works great for their skin. It instantly lifts their skin and it also has breakthrough ingredients that trick the DNA into growing new skin molecules like a baby. Plus it keeps your skin moisturized. One of the key ingredients of Dermajuv wrinkle cream is Matrixyl which works at the DNA Level to stimulate the very factors in the skin which we lose as we grow old: Collagen and Fibronectin.
One of my friends tried those trendy vibrating products to massage her face but it isn't effective for her so she just sticks with a wrinkle cream with effective results. I think wrinkle creams are the coolest products to fade away wrinkles with their incredible ingredients. Anyway, I might possibly try Dermajuv wrinkle cream whenever I see some visible wrinkles on my skin but for now I will suggest this product to my mom. When I was still single and living with her I remembered some of the products she uses like Ponds, Oil of Olay and Avon creams and last month she mentioned that she is looking for an effective wrinkle cream to smooth her skin. Hmmm...I am actually thinking right now of buying my mom Dermajuv products on her birthday or on Mother's Day.

Hi guys! I am still thinking of what is the best nursery room theme for our little girl. Can anyone of you suggest? Although a theme isn't a must when decorating the baby's room, it can make decorating easier and certainly fun for me and my husband if we have an object or idea to focus the room's decor around. It allows us to coordinate everything from the bedding to lamps and other design essentials in our baby's room. So any suggestions please. Your ideas are highly appreciated.
