Three years into our marriage, we started to believe God for a child, we specifically ask for a boy. Months (till a year and a half) have come and gone but still... no baby. In fact, I've held many one-man-pity-parties whenever my period comes. Yeah, I was that desperate.

I've also tried various methods to conceive. Nothing worked! This Psalm perfectly describes my emotional state during those times, 

I knew I had to cease from whatever I was trying to do to conceive. And when I did, I was able to hear from Him clearly...

- Genesis 15:1

His promise gave me so much comfort that my heart was, finally, at peace. I've rested on the fact that He is a good God and He will never fail.

Two months, after I found comfort in His Word (Genesis 15:1), a friend came by to visit. Before she left, we ended our time with prayer. When it was her turn to pray, the Lord gave her a vision. I can only recall what she said -- a baby boy. 

My response? I smiled. When our friend related what she saw, something had already changed in me. My heart was already rested in Him. I simply said Amen (So be it, Lord).

Now, let me tell you that I never once shared our struggle with anyone. But the Lord remembers...

Two weeks after that, I then took a pregnancy test. I was a little scared, you know. "What if I get negative results?" No... I don't even want to go back there.

I've decided to give all my sorrows to the Lord. And that's it! Discouragement needs to end. I believe He will take care of our situation.

Since the message was already delivered, I had to step in faith. And yes... it was positive. Twenty-one weeks into the pregnancy, and the gender was confirmed. It was indeed a boy! Praise the Lord!

My pregnancy was uneventful on the first two trimesters. I thank God, I don't suffer morning sickness and all. But, I got PUPPS in the last month of my pregnancy. Huhu!

Where do I begin? I labored 35 long hours for our little love. I was fully dilated 6 hours into active labor, but the baby wouldn't come out. I was tired and extremely exhausted. (Note, I labored at the Birthing Center at this point. It was all  natural so I fully feel everything.)

Because of that, we elected to be sent to the hospital, have the epidural and the C-section. I was disappointed 'coz I wanted to have the baby without medical intervention. But our advancements in medicine is a blessing in itself too.

Thank God, I was able to rest a few hours after the epidural shot. The doctor also scheduled me for the C-section operation. But when I woke up, oh my, this earthen vessel kept on pushing on its own.

I'm already spent. "Jesus help me!", I cried. And there at the foot of my bed, my Saviour stood. (I don't mind you calling me whatever, but this is my experience.) 

I couldn't explain how. I truly believe that it was the Lord who gave me the strength to go on. And... no C-section happened. Praise the Lord! 

Then Gionni could say,

The reason he got stuck? One of his arms is up, hand on his face. I'm grateful that his heartbeat didn't slow down during the whole ordeal. 

This doesn't seem to end, I know. The doctor refused to discharge us 3 days after having the baby because I was low in iron and the baby is jaundice. They did tests and draw lots of blood for both mom and baby. I was worried about the bills. 

We went to the Lord regarding our situation and took holy communion. Would you believe this? When the test results returned the next day, all is well. We can go home. Hallelujah!

In and of myself, I knew I can do nothing. He is the 'Great I AM'. In whatever areas of our lives that need saving, we knew we can always trust Him. He is our all in all. 

Hey, hey, hey! It has been 5 months since we move in our 2nd home. Due to budget constraints, it's still a work in progress. Haha! I might do a home tour of what has happened since this post. But don't expect much, as mentioned, there's still more shopping to do. ;)

So here, I'm sharing 9 of my current ('coz it is ever changing) wishlist for our blue and gold themed home. Do check 'em out below. ;)

ALL THE DEETS

1 - CB2 Stan the Goldfish Wall Hanging

2 - Z Gallerie Sapphire Breeze Wall Art

3 - Urban Outfitters Round Pintuck Pillow in Navy color [available in other colors]

4 - LampsPlus Crystal Floor Lamp

5 - Living Spaces Solano Slipcovered Oversized Chair

6 - Z Gallerie Midas Wall Sconce [currently on sale]

7 - Pottery Barn Piped Gingham Pillow Cover [also in Pink color]

8 - West Elm Terrace Side Table

9 - Pier1 Imports Yuyuan Garden Stool

I really that wall art from Z Gallerie. I've read from the reviews that it glitters day and night! Also, the wall sconce from the same brand sparkles like a gem. They really know what most of us, women, want. :D


I've been training myself to read a chapter before bedtime. Getting a lounge chair would be a better choice instead of two accent chairs in our living room. Actually, I have two in mind. The one mentioned in the wishlist above and this Stella Chair from ZGallerie.

The former (Solano chair) is more affordable and bigger in size as compared to the latter (Stella chair). But I like the material of the Stella chair better. Hmm... what do you think?

So yeah, that's my home wishlist for now. What's your favorite from the list, if any? Let me know your thoughts too in the comment section below. Have a great day then!

Hello! Here's to another fashion wish list from DressLily this week. Today I've curated 9 winsome dresses in Bohemian style. Let's check 'em out below.

ALL THE DEETS

1 - Empire Waisted Floral Print Maxi Dress

2 - Plunging Floral Print Cutout Beach Dress

3 - Vintage Printed Ruffles Chiffon Dress

4 - Vintage Style Plunging Neck 3/4 Sleeve Full Floral Print Elastic Waist Front Slit Women's Maxi Dress

5 - Printed Plunging Neck Floor Length Dress

6 - Printed Off Shoulder Smocked Slit Maxi Dress

7 - Vintage Lantern Sleeve Floral Print Midi Dress

8 - Bohemia Halter High Slit Backless Maxi Dress

9 - Bohemian Tribe Print Long Fitted Mermaid Dress

I would say Bohemian dress#1 is a safe pick if you're new to bohemian fashion. It's simple and very easy to dress up. I'd wear it with big hoop earrings, long wavy hair, and boots. Just like the model in the photo above.

Summer is here! (Well, from where I lived that is.)  Beach plans anyone? Bohemian dress#2 would be a good outfit choice. Oh, it's in a backless style. Don't be shy to show off your sexy or toned back. Pair it with a big beach hat, fun sunglasses and a cute pair of beach sandals.

I like Bohemian dress#3. It'll be nice for Fall or even for the office. Pair it with heels, clutch and a warm lip color.

Bohemian dresses#4-6 are the sexy bunch. This is for the audacious fashionista who's not afraid to try different fashion styles. (Honestly, not my type. I'm a little conservative.) But I like the pattern on Bohemian dress#5. I'd wear a lacey undergarment beneath to conceal my sanctity. :)

Bohemian dress#7 is just like #3. Really cute for Fall season.

Calling out all the petite women out there! Check out the long elongated pattern on Bohemian Dress#8. It draws the eyes upwards which gives the illusion of length to the wearer. Dress it up with gladiator heels. And accessorize with Swarovski Crystal wrap bracelets.

Bohemian dress#9 is rather interesting. If you're aiming for the Bohemian Goddess look try out this fun mermaid dress to what you are looking for. It has bold orange color (great for summertime) and enthralling patterns. It's a tight fitting dress too. So flaunt those curves, will you? :)

Floral prints are on trend right now. I've seen them everywhere. From beautiful interiors, art, fashion. And yes, even on mundane everyday items like tissue paper. Lol!

Below I've curated 9 fun floral print outfits for both men and women. All the clothing items mentioned below are from this website called Rosegal. They sell cheap, affordable fashion for all ages alike.

Stay with me till the end. Scroll down and keep on reading to find out more...

ALL THE DEETS
1 - Flower Fold Line Pattern Turndown Collar Shirt

2 - Button Up Floral Paisley Print Panel Shirt

3 - Feather Floral Print Button Up Shirt

4 - Turn-Down Collar Tiny Floral Print Long Sleeve Shirt

5 - Short Sleeve Flower Wash Painting Print Shirt

6 - Rose Floral Print Hawaiian Shirt in Black [avaible in other colors]

7 - Floral Print Short Sleeve Mini T-Shirt Dress
8 - Plus Size Elastic Cuffs Floral Embroidered Shirt

9 - Women Chiffon Shirt Bikini Blouse Floral Printed Beachwear in White [also available in apricot and blue colors]

Men's shirt#1 has that formal look to it. Wear it as is or with a blazer, coat or jacket.

I find Men's shirt#2 to be unique. It has a very traditional/cultural feel to it.

Men's shirt#3 has more feather prints to it than flowers, but I like that it has this denim look. 

If there's a shirt from the list I'd want my husband to wear to work, it would be men's shirt#4. It has teeny tiny details, almost non-flowery prints that's hard to notice. I know he'd be okay wearing that compared to the rest.

Men's shirt#5 has simple style while men's shirt#6 is the opposite.

Here's a tip, when making an order from them make sure to order 2 sizes up for men. I've made this mistake before. My husband is a size L. I've ordered an XL jacket from them last Christmas. But the zipper in front would not close.  It's still on the small side even though it's an XL. I couldn't reiterate this enough but, you have to be really sure with his size before placing an order.

For women, I've picked dress#7 because it's made of light material, great for indoors. Shirt#8 is a pretty office look for plus size women and pick#9 is a cute coverup to the pool/beach.
