Travelling to Tanzania

Print

So, finally i can sit down and post a real post.

If you are planning ton Travel anywhere really, go to the CDC website and find out what you need before going to that country. I did my research and found out in addition to regular immunizations,  my boys and i got the Yellow fever and Typhoid shots and as recommended we took them more than 2 weeks before our trip. This are usually given at the local health department.  Rabies was another recommended one, however this one the health department in my area did not have it, plus am not too worried as the chioldren will be playing where we can see them, and yeah hopefully no dog bites.

We are also on Anti-malarial drugs. Julian and Eli are taking the once a week 1/4 of a pill started 2 weeks prior to travel and the entire time they will be in Tanzania, then for 4 weeks when they get back to US.  The Dr prescribed doxyciline for me,  which is a form of tetracycline, this i  will need to take 2x daily beginning 2 days prior to travel.  The good thing is this helps with acne, so i may not have to worry about breaking pout for a while :)

I  am hoping that the children stay healthy when we are there, especially Julian and his asthma. We are keeping up his flovent, and  will definitely make sure we pack  his inhalers  for the trip.  I am still packing up and everyday, i am remembering something that we would  need, and am hoping Julian will have plenty of distraction  to keep us both sane that day. :)

Going home after 5 years…

Print

So i have  seen my parents and siblings for 5 years and they have never met my children,  till now, end of this month. I am so excited, also a bit tired and stressed because i am terrible at packing. I know some people would have already had  half of everything packed, but am not one of them. In fact my sister Proly and my mom always packed for me whenever i  had to travel. This is one of those days i just wish one of them was here helping me out.

I miss my mom so much!  I can’t wait till she meets Julian and Eli. Julian knows now he will be going to grandma’s house. I feel sorry for Eli. My mom is going to feed him so much, that boys is going to turn into a little muffin. Eli loves food! He will eat anything as long as he sees someone else eating it. Heck all you have to do is just put it in front of him. Julian on the other hand, you have to corner him take a way something in order for him to eat.  Hope this will change when he sees all his cousins around and eating.

I can’t wait. Home sweet. Home.

SHE'S THE ONE photo | Oprah Winfrey

Here are my girls representing at the Oscars last night. I loved her performance in the movie PRECIOUS , it is great she was nominated, however i WANTED her to win so bad, but oh well…What better way than to just be nominated in the same class as Meryl Streep, Sandra Bullock etc. For a first  movie, i mean she got the PART to kick off her movie career, so bravo and many congratulations to her.

Orprah looks really good too, she has definitely lost some weight, and i love the dress Gabby wore definitely complements her figure! You go girls!

Long time No post…

So I have been so busy with just about everything and It does feel like ages since i last posted an entry on my blog. There is  just so much to say, i am not even sure where to begin.

I am so excited right now.. I can say for sure i will be seeing my family soon after being away for 5 years! My passport situation has been taken care of, so yeeeh home for Easter may actually be a reality and not just a wish. I know my sister will scream her head off when she reads this… lol

The boys are doing fantastic. Julian knows that he will be going to his grandmas house very soon and is excited about that. Eli has been crawling, standing, walking while holding onto just about anything and yeah doesn’t want to be held anymore. He thinks being held is just for food and sleep, and not for play.

So here are some current photos of them. I promise i will be posting more often now.

I can honestly say, boys are truly rough! Julian plays really rough now with his baby brother. I feel like the crazy mom on her toes every minute screaming no Julian, be gentle Julian, reminding him he is just a baby … and as if Eli makes it easy either…Oh No.  What can i say, fun times with the boys, for sure!

Hey, am still around just been working on my travel plans and yes, finally relieved.

Will be working on getting the children to see their Dr before travel.

Enjoy your week.
