Anything you can set on fire sure has my interest.
These Chocolate Cupcakes with Flaming Strawberries you get when the strawberries are hollowed out and filled with a bit of liquor, then ignited with a match.Alcohol, chocolate, fire. Sounds like a party to me!

He’s so cute!!! :D
OMG I know this isn’t Ryzo but for some reason—I know this sounds super crazy—I started missing Ryzo. (I said it sounds crazy.)

Just thought to share. THEIT made a cameo on Latter Day Woman Magazine just the other day thanks to the beautiful Sydney @Thedaybook. She was featured in the magazine for a fashion article (which, you must read!) and of course featured her gorgeous outfit posts plus THEIT…
Check out our facebook fan page for the details. Happy love day!

Genius. I love good a capella. Meet Duwende, an AWESOME a capella group. Their harmony is so tight - and this is just their rehearsal vid - imagine how much tighter it sounds during studio recording time?
YAAY! Glad shes loved! Amazing pics as well. We’d love to see you showing it off as well for next time? hmm
Best thing I have EVER received in the mail!
My THEIT “TheBossi” camera bag has arrived! I have been stalking my tracking number for a week and it’s finally here. I’m so obsessed with this bag it’s scary. Check them out to see what they’re all about. While you’re at it, go ahead and read this post I did about them last week.
Test
I thought I’d be able to keep 2 blogs but apparently not. I created dearryzolovemommy.tumblr.com when I found out the gender of the baby last month and I’ve been blogging there ever since.
Time flew. Last I remember I was only 19 weeks. I didn’t realize I’m already 23 weeks. My belly is steadily getting big and so is my entire body. I can say that I’m about 80% capable of my mobility functions. The baby is healthy. And despite of my weight gain, my OB-GYN never mentioned anything about me nor the baby getting too big. Apparently, everything is normal. But I definitely shouldn’t take it for granted. Which I have. Yikes. Besides my belly getting in the way, my only other complaint is acid reflux (before today I’ve been calling it indigestion but what I have is actually more like acid reflux).
Today I started to cut down on sugar because I’m soon due for a blood test to check for gestational diabetes.

Agnes can’t get enough of unicorns and I can’t get enough of Agnes.
I have a potentially overactive baby. See if you can spot the baby picking its nose with its index finger. It’s undeniably my husband’s child. Also, watch until the end for Dan’s priceless reaction.

Can’t have anything for an hour after I take my vitamin. Why must you tease me? (Taken with instagram)
According to the weekly email I get about baby development, my baby at this point is able to hear my heartbeats and my voice. So earlier this week, I started turning off my radio in the car and singing to my baby while I sit in the rush hour traffic. The books suggest talking to the baby but I think singing to myself looks less insane than talking to myself to people who sees me. Hehehe.
Also, I started making a playlist for the baby with the top 100 classical music masterpieces.

A couple of weeks ago, when my sister-in-law asked me how far along I was in my pregnancy and I told her that it’s already been almost 4 months, she said that I should start feeling the baby kick soon. So since then, I would go to bed half an hour before my bedtime to be completely still and wait for the baby to kick. I’ve also read in the pregnancy book that the baby can now react to light. So I would turn on the flashlight on my belly to make the baby move. Alas, all to no avail.
Until today.
It was amazing. It was around 10 in the morning when I first felt it. I felt a movement across my lower belly. I thought nothing of it at first. Then I felt it again. And then again. Then, instinctively, I knew it was my baby. I called my husband right away. I called my sister next. It’s now 3pm and I’ve been feeling it every 5 minutes or so. It would stop for an hour or so. Then it would start again. But now it doesn’t move across my belly anymore. I just feel it on one spot below my navel.
I can compare the sensation to how my heart feels when I stop myself from crying when I watch sad movies. Except, of course, I don’t feel it in my heart. I feel it in my belly.

P.S. I think the baby knows that it’s his grandfather’s birthday today so the baby made it even more special for him.
