			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Our garage ceiling nearly fell today</strong>, because the heat has dried all its structures and they nearly fell on <em>Nixon</em> and <em>Sonny</em>. Gah! <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/yuck.gif' alt='xP' class='wp-smiley' />  Thanks goodness hubby&#8217;s gotten so good with house restructuring. :3 Hubby used some pretty good power tools to repair the garage this morning (angle drills, hand tools, etc.). And since we&#8217;re on subject, I suggested next time he buys on <u>powertools.us</u> because I&#8217;ve heard a lot of good stuff about this website, and I know they offer a wide selection of tools from the most high quality brands, so I trust it. <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  One of my friends used their tools too and she said they&#8217;re very endurant and they work efficiently. So yeah, I hope hubby will take that in consideration.</p>
<p>We went to visit our son <strong>Jazz</strong> in the other Universe two days ago. It was so wonderful to see him again! <em>Hubby was moved to tears too</em>, and he was delighted by Jazz&#8217;s and Ratch&#8217;s new babies too. Four adorable bundles of joy! Awww! Congratulations sweeties! x3 I hope we can go again in a few days. Perhaps we&#8217;ll meet <strong>Ratch</strong> too, whom we&#8217;re missing a lot too. <em>And Ratch&#8217;s birth parents&#8230; oh, I really can&#8217;t wait to meet them</em>. They seem to be nice from how Ratch talks about them, and though honestly it still hurts to know Ratch&#8217;s not my official son anymore, I&#8217;m still so happy to know that he&#8217;s being happy with them. And hubby and I will <em>always</em> be his second dad and mom. :3 Oh yeah, you can be sure about that!</p>
<p>Well, I&#8217;ll cut it short for today. I really hope I can be back to commenting on your blogs soon, darlings! <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Twenty-four years old Luana is enrolling University next month! Woooo! xD Wish me luck (LOL, my kids will be helping me, I&#8217;m sure).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It seems like <strong>Longreen</strong>&#8216;s girlfriend &#8211; <strong>Naral</strong> &#8211; and her parents <em>want to set up the baby shower already</em>, even though they agreed on having it when <strong>Laira</strong> will be 2 months old. Anyway, they put a lot of nice items in the baby wishlist, including a <a href="http://www.posylane.com/oh-mint-nap-mats-rolls.htm">nap mat</a>, a <a href="http://www.posylane.com/oh-mint-laundry-bags.htm">laundry bag</a> and a <a href="http://www.posylane.com/oh-mint-bath-towel-wraps.htm">towel wrap</a>. <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Hehe, I was the one to suggest <u>Posylane</u> as a shop to buy from, and I&#8217;m glad they accepted and put those items in the baby wishlist. <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/sweatdrop.gif' alt='^^' class='wp-smiley' />  I hope we of the family will be able to grant most of the listed items at the baby shower. With dad&#8217;s help maybe.</p>
<p>So yeah, I guess it&#8217;s time for some news and THEN for my birthday tale. <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  Hehe. <strong>On July 15th hubby and I adopted Max, the robot-pilot from planet <em>Phaelon</em></strong>. The city leader was okay with it, long as he found a way to minimize the space his starship occupied. Doc thought of fixing that, and so now Max is our son! <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  <em>Welcome home, sweetheart!</em> Also, it was <strong>Atlas</strong>&#8216; birthday on the 16th, and <strong>Red Alert</strong>&#8216;s birthday today. <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  <em>Happy belated and happy birthday, babies!</em></p>
<p>Now, about <strong>my birthday</strong>. <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/sweatdrop.gif' alt='^^' class='wp-smiley' />  It was on <u>June 17th</u>, and <em>I turned 24 years old</em>. <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Still pretty young, ain&#8217;t I? Ahah x3 <strong>Dad Optimus</strong> brought us some delicious sweet sweet and some birthday roses for me in the morning, after my husband had filled me with Perugina chocolates already for an early romantic breakfast. *_* And then later&#8230; <strong>hubby</strong> went downstairs to answer to the bell because it was the postman.. and <strong>he came up with the most wonderful bouquet of red roses I&#8217;ve ever seen!</strong> OMG how romantic!!! x3 Then my kids prepared a delicious lunch, and I spent the time cuddling them all, and also my grandaughter Melody, who was always on my lap on that day, and I spoon-fed her too. Aww. :3 As for the <em>presents</em>&#8230; <strong>Nixon and Jazz bought mom two of Hello Kitty tops</strong> (aww! x3), <strong>Sonny baked a chocolate cake just for his mama</strong> :3, and <strong>Scarlette together with Smokey, Asha, Dukat and Thesh bought me a new make-up trousse</strong>. OMG! x3 <strong>The other kids bought me a super expensive necklace!</strong> O.O How sweet can they be?! I&#8217;m such a lucky mom. *<em>sniff</em>* Love ya babies!! Then we had music and singing &#8211; as usual x3 &#8211; and Jazz and Sunny sang for us while hubby and I danced. *_* Awww!</p>
<p>So yeah, that&#8217;s all about it. <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  I hope you&#8217;ll enjoy reading. Take care sweeties.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since I haven&#8217;t updated in so long time about my <strong>family events</strong>, here is a short summary of what happened in July. <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/sweatdrop.gif' alt='^^' class='wp-smiley' />  Again, my 24th birthday tale will have to <em>wait</em> for the next blog entry. XD Sorry folks!</p>
<p><strong>July 4th</strong><br />
<u>Sideswipe&#8217;s and Sunstreaker&#8217;s birthday</u>. We celebrated at Sides&#8217; apartment, together with his mate Skywarp and his adorable kids. <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  It was a really happy time. My son Sunstreaker entertained the youngest kids (aww he&#8217;s a great uncle!), whilst hubby and I and my other kids helped Sides and Sky with the house and lunch, and of course we brought the cake for all of us to eat! <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  The nice thing was that <strong>Odo</strong> and <strong>Data</strong> had a chance to come over too, so I was even more happy than the usual. *_* Too bad that <strong>Damar</strong> and <strong>Willy Wonka</strong> couldn&#8217;t leave their work&#8230; but it&#8217;ll be for the next time. <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong>July 6th</strong><br />
Met my son <strong>Tracks</strong> again. <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  In his Universe. I had gone there just to see if I could see him again, since it had been quite a while from the last time we spent together. He was really happy to see me again, but I was as well, and I almost cried out of joy. <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/happytear.gif' alt='X3' class='wp-smiley' />  I&#8217;ll tell you about this more in detail in another blog entry though&#8230; It&#8217;s a too special moment to just summarize it here in a few lines. <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/sweatdrop.gif' alt='^^' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong>July 7th</strong><br />
<strong>Laira&#8217;s birth</strong>! <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  Laira is <em>Naral Tora&#8217;s baby girl</em>, the one she had with her previous husband, and that now is considered my son <u>Longreen&#8217;s baby as well</u>, since he got together with Naral some months ago. :3 How cute! Congratulations sweethearts! <em>I&#8217;m a proud grandma again</em>, hehe. x3</p>
<p><strong>July 8th</strong><br />
Watched the <u>new Transformers movie</u> at 6PM at our local cinema. <em>Hubby came along, and dad Optimus did as well</em>. <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  Some of our kids (Scarlette, Doc, Bluestreak, Sunstreaker) wanted to watch the movie too, so they were there with us. <em>Aww you should have seen dad Optimus!</em> XD Ahah! <em>He felt like he was in the movie too</em> <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/tonguer.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' />  Well&#8230; in a way he was! He&#8217;s a Optimus too! But out of all of us, he felt the movie as anybody. Awww dad! I hope next time we watch it, you&#8217;ll come over again! x3</p>
<p><strong>July 9th</strong><br />
I met <strong>Sky</strong> in the other Universe. He&#8217;s <em>a good friend</em> of mine <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  We just talked for a couple of hours before I went back home. I think I&#8217;ll miss him&#8230; Let&#8217;s hope I see him again sometimes. <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/sweatdrop.gif' alt='^^' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong>July 10th</strong><br />
I saw <strong>Max</strong> at the park again. We spent some time together before I went home. He said he wishes I was his mommy too&#8230; and honestly I didn&#8217;t know what to tell him. <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />  <em>I feel something for him</em>, but I needed to talk to hubby and the whole family first. I cuddled Max a little before leaving though. Gosh, he&#8217;s such a sweetheart! :heart:</p>
<p><strong>July 11th</strong><br />
Hubby and I met <em>Max</em> at the park. <em>He asked me and hubby if we can adopt him</em>. Hubby agreed, but he said we would talk to the family first. We called our kids home and asked them if they were okay with having a new brother&#8230; and well, it seems they were going to just be so happy about it. <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  So we told Max that we just needed a few days to get everything done for the adoption papers, and he&#8217;d be officially our son! He snuggled with us a bit, all happy, and then went home on his planet to get an upgrade from one of his friends. <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/sweatdrop.gif' alt='^^' class='wp-smiley' />  That way, next time he comes he would be able to leave the ship that is part of him, and come <em>home</em>.</p>
<p><strong>July 12th</strong><br />
<u>Jazz Tiger&#8217;s birthday</u>. My beloved sweet son celebrated his birthday at home with all of us, and his mate and babies. <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  It was a wonderful time, with <em>a lot of music</em> &#8211; oh yeah! <strong>Jazz loves to sing karaoke!</strong> XD His toddler Melody was all happy and dancing too, aww!</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll update again in a couple of days! <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I know that probably I&#8217;m going to shock many of you with this announcement, but here it goes: <strong>hubby and I might be trying to conceive again</strong> <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Yeah, I can hear you here! You&#8217;ve got so many kids already, why would you got for another one? Well, you see, having a big family has become a sort of mission for us <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  <u>The more kids we adopt and give birth to, the more love we have to share</u>. There&#8217;s space for every one of them in our hearts, and our financial conditions (with the generous help of our beloved dad!) are more than sufficient to welcome another little bundle of joy in our family <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/couple.gif' alt=':love:' class='wp-smiley' />  Plus, my older children are so caring and affectionate toward their younger siblings; my family has learned to take care of each other a long time ago, and I&#8217;m really proud of what hubby and I have been building together until now <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/sweatdrop.gif' alt='^^' class='wp-smiley' />  It seems like yesterday when <u>we first dated, back on 1998</u>&#8230; So long time, isn&#8217;t it? <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  <em>Precious</em>.</p>
<p>Believe it or not, I&#8217;ve started looking already for a <a href="http://www.tinytotlot.com/" target="_blank">newborn checklist</a> <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/tonguer.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' />  I found that this website &#8211; <u>TinyTotLot.com</u> &#8211; has every information a new mom may need for her to-be or newborn babies, and even experienced mothers like I am can find it very useful, especially all the checklists like the one I mentioned above <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been saving a <a href="http://www.tinytotlot.com/" target="_blank">baby checklist</a> on my computer too. Mainly because my son <strong>Dartride</strong> is still a baby after all. He&#8217;s <em>5 months old</em> now. I&#8217;m amazed at how fastly he&#8217;s growing up, and at how lively a little boy he&#8217;s become! Alright, he&#8217;s a sports car XD Ahah. I just hope he doesn&#8217;t become as lively as my Lambo Twins.</p>
<p>Anyway, I think I mentioned already in my previous entries that <strong>my son Longreen and his wife-to-be are going to have a baby girl next month</strong>, right? <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/sweatdrop.gif' alt='^^' class='wp-smiley' />  If I didn&#8217;t, well now you know about it <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  Naral&#8217;s parents have been asking the young couple to set everything up for the little girl&#8217;s <a href="http://www.tinytotlot.com/baby-shower-planning.php" target="_blank">baby shower</a> already. So yeah, I suggested they use this checklist I linked above. Still from the same site I&#8217;ve been using these past few days. Here you can see a screenshot if you want to bookmark it too:</p>
<p><center><img src="http://i431.photobucket.com/albums/qq38/bellachino85/tinytotlot.png"></center></p>
<p>Alright, I hope to update again soon, but please don&#8217;t blame me for the choice, okay? <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  Crazy or not, my heart (and my hubby&#8217;s) feels that there&#8217;s much more love to give. Take care, mommies &#038; girlies.</p>

<p><strong>April 3rd</strong><br />
<a href="http://miss-glamour.info/2009/04/my-7th-birthday-tale/" target="_blank">Scarlette&#8217;s 7th birthday</a>. We practically party&#8217;ed all day; my daughter&#8217;s classmates and some of our <em>Robocity</em> friends came over for lunch, and stayed until late afternoon <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  We had a karaoke contest as well. The nicest thing is that my kids <strong>Odo</strong>, <strong>Garak</strong>, <strong>Damar</strong> and <strong>Data</strong> came over for the party as well, and <strong>Naral</strong> and Nerys came to greet my little daughter too <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  It was so good to see them again! Dad Optimus arrived later and couldn&#8217;t stay with us for long, but his visits are always so precious <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/cute.gif' alt='^_^' class='wp-smiley' />  he&#8217;s really adorable!</p>
<p><strong>April 12th</strong><br />
<strong>Easter</strong> day <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Smokescreen came to the Mass with me during the night, so I let him sleep until late. Everyone got up earlier and helped me with the breakfast and lunch. I was a beautiful relaxing day for me and the whole family <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/sweatdrop.gif' alt='^^' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong>April 18th</strong><br />
My son <strong>Thesh</strong>&#8216;s 6th birthday. We couldn&#8217;t afford another big party, but we did a small one for the little sweetie <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/cute.gif' alt='^_^' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong>April 19th</strong><br />
My son <strong>Jazz Tiger</strong> <em>gave birth</em> to his twins! <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  Awww. They were born at <u>1:40PM</u> and they are very healthy <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  I&#8217;m helping Jazzy with them at night though, because it&#8217;s really hard to cope with them when there&#8217;s still Melody who is so little <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/sweatdrop.gif' alt='^^' class='wp-smiley' /> &#8221; Anyway, you should really read the <a href="http://ariondreama.fr.cr/2009/04/birth-story/" target="_blank">twins birth story</a> that Jazz wrote on his baby blog. Leave him some comment luv!<br />
On this same day, we celebrated little <strong>Optimal Optimus</strong>&#8216; <em>4th birthday</em> <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/couple.gif' alt=':love:' class='wp-smiley' />  Hubby took a photo of him just before he blew on his candle. How cute, isn&#8217;t he?<br />
<center><img src="http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj115/ratchetdoc/scarlette/optimaloptimusbday.jpg"></center></p>
<p><strong>April 22nd</strong><br />
Went to the other Universe to spend some time with my son <strong>Ratch</strong>. Unfortunately I couldn&#8217;t meet Jazz there, but at least I could cuddle with Ratch a bit, and let him hold little Dartride, whom I had taken along <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/sweatdrop.gif' alt='^^' class='wp-smiley' />  My little one just loves his big bro so much :3</p>
<p><strong>April 27th</strong><br />
Dad Optimus came over again to spend time with his grandchildren <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Aww I love him just sooo much!!! x3 I tried to spend time with him too, but I&#8217;m always so tired of late, as I&#8217;m also helping my son Jazz Tiger with his twins at night, and I have my 4 months old <strong>Dartride</strong> that calls me for attentions all day <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/sweatdrop.gif' alt='^^' class='wp-smiley' /> &#8221; so yeah&#8230; Ah yeah, we&#8217;re still waiting for the <em>Iacon City Orphanage</em> to give us the okay to adopt <strong>Gried</strong> <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />  They&#8217;re taking so long this time.. *<em>sigh</em>*</p>
<p><strong>April 30th</strong><br />
I&#8217;ve just been enjoying family time today, and did some research on the net for <a href="http://www.energizedevents.com/casino_party/partytablerentals.html">Casino Party Table Rentals</a> as my son-in-law <strong>Nixon</strong> really loves these things. I gave him the links to some corporate event planning companies and casino party rentals for his enjoyement <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Jazz Tiger laughed at Nixon when he jumped around like a kid <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/tonguer.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' />  Ahah!</p>
<p>Okay that&#8217;s all for now <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/sweatdrop.gif' alt='^^' class='wp-smiley' />  See you soon with another update.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I haven&#8217;t blogged in a long time. <em>I&#8217;m sorry</em> <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />  Family and work have been keeping me busy, that&#8217;s for sure. Anyway, things are doing good since last time.</p>
<p><strong>Ratch</strong> and <strong>Jazz</strong> are doing good between them and their kids. I&#8217;m happy for them <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Jazz agreed to adopt little <strong>Angel</strong> (Ratch&#8217;s daughter he had with his former mate, for the ones who don&#8217;t know) and she&#8217;s getting close to her new mother now. It&#8217;s great. That little innocent being needs the affection and loving care of a real mother, and her dad to be at her side.</p>
<p>As for <strong>Miura</strong>, <strong>Illidan</strong> and <strong>Stormrod</strong>, the issue with them has been solved, since they have been adopted by my son Sideswipe F. and his mate Skywarp. Sides is 1 month pregnant and it&#8217;s cute that those three angels will have a little brother in a few months <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Hubby and I are happy too, we know our son will be a good mommy to his baby, and his mate Sky is the best father the baby and the three kids can ever have.</p>
<p><strong>Jazz Tiger</strong> is pregnant as well, and he&#8217;s due next month. <strong>Nixon</strong> is thrilled, and so are Jackie and I <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/sweatdrop.gif' alt='^^' class='wp-smiley' />  Well, the whole family is excited at the thought that soon Jazz&#8217;s and Sides&#8217; babies will come to the world. They&#8217;ll be welcomed by our huge family, and I&#8217;m sure they&#8217;ll grow up well and loved.</p>
<p>I realized that by not updating I haven&#8217;t mentioned a thing about the <em>family birthdays</em>. My bad. I&#8217;ll only give you a short summary about February birthdays in this post, then on the next one I&#8217;ll tell about December and January ones <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  So&#8230; on <u>February 28th</u> it was my son <strong>Damar</strong>&#8216;s birthday, and he came home here for the first time to party with us. He was so happy to explore the town and have fun with his brothers and sisters, and I must say that I had never seen him smiling so much. He hasn&#8217;t touched any alchoolics too, which is good! <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/sweatdrop.gif' alt='^^' class='wp-smiley' />  I hope I can see him again; it&#8217;s sad that I can&#8217;t see some of my kids for so long time, but I understand they being busy, so phone calls and Internet are more than enough sometimes. Alright, so there have been other birthdays on February: <strong>Data</strong> (<em>February 2nd</em>) has been home only the day for the birthday party, then he had to leave again for work in his Universe, and I felt really sad because I miss my son <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />  but yeah, I know he&#8217;d be back soon, maybe on the end of the month&#8230; or so I hope; <strong>Rattilus</strong> (<em>February 8th</em>) turned 19 this year and he planned the whole party by himself xD We bought the cake, but <em>he</em> rented the local for the disco party; gosh, it&#8217;s been so fun! I&#8217;ll have to ask him to organize all the family birthdays from now on <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/tonguer.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' />  <strong>Garak</strong> (<em>February 14th</em>) celebrated his birthday on <em>St. Valentine&#8217;s Day</em>, and so we bought him Perugina chocolates and a heart-shaped cake <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/sweatdrop.gif' alt='^^' class='wp-smiley' />  He really appreciated it, and it was lovely to bond with him again; he&#8217;s always so busy of late, and like for Data, I really miss him; I hope I can go to see him at his shop soon. <strong>Proton</strong> (February 18th) celebrated half the day at home, and half with his former caretakes (and friends of ours) Vader and Kat :3 While for <strong>Orion</strong> (February 21st), who turned 5 years old, we organized a small party at home. Well, I haven&#8217;t been much in party mood of late, but I did it for my kids, because I love them <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I bought my daughter <strong>Scarlette</strong> a <a href="http://miss-glamour.info" target="_blank">domain</a> for her website, a few days ago. It&#8217;s meant to be my present for her <u>7th birthday</u>, coming on April 3rd <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  She&#8217;s so enthusiastic about it, so if you can, pay her a visit <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/sweatdrop.gif' alt='^^' class='wp-smiley' />  She&#8217;ll be happy! She went to see her boyfriend <em>Thunder</em> so she&#8217;s going to be home soon, as we can&#8217;t begin hubby&#8217;s birthday party without her.</p>
<p>Yep! :heart: <strong>Today&#8217;s my hubby&#8217;s birthday</strong> (he&#8217;s turning 33!) and we&#8217;re gonna party tonight! I hope Ratch and Jazz will come over too, we miss them a lot and I&#8217;m sure they&#8217;re missing their dad as well. <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Alright, I better go prepare the food and help my kids setting up the room for the party.</p>
<p>See ya on the next update!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sorry about not updating in some time. I&#8217;ve just been kind of busy with the family and tired from the pregnancy and backaches. Anyway, here you can read a short summary of the latest family adventures <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Our new adopted sons <strong>Ironhide</strong> and <strong>Red Alert</strong> are now getting along well with the rest of the family, and they&#8217;re so loving to hubby and I <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/sweatdrop.gif' alt='^^' class='wp-smiley' />  I bonded with both of them already, first time happening on Nov. 16th, and the only bad thing is that my daughter <strong>Scarlette</strong> made out a drama out of jealousy. But it was only temporary, she was going through a bad mood, so now everything&#8217;s settled. Hide and Red really love little Scarlette and didn&#8217;t mind it too much. Phew <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>There have been several birthdays these last weeks. My children <strong>Sparkplug</strong> (Nov. 9th) and <strong>StarLight</strong> (Nov. 14th) turned 5 and 14 respectively, and then my son Jazz T.&#8217;s mate <strong>Nixon</strong> had his birthday on November 12th too. You can imagine <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  We partied so much and I&#8217;ve been baking so many <em>cakes</em> <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/tonguer.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' />  LOL.</p>
<p>On <u>November 18th</u> I had my pregnancy <strong>30th week check-up</strong>. Rhinox monitored Dartride&#8217;s heartbeat with a Doppler, counted his kicks, measured the size and height of my belly and he asked me and Jackie if we had a birth plan ready. I said all he wanted was to try and have this baby the natural way, and Jackie agreed with me. Other than that, everything Rhinox would think necessary will be done. Hubby and I asked for an ultrasound on this visit too. OB said it wasn&#8217;t necessary, but we love these <em>first photos</em> of our little Dartride so much <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/sweatdrop.gif' alt='^^' class='wp-smiley' />  So at the end he did, and here is lil&#8217; Darty for you:<br />
<center><img src="http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p137/childrenofimagination/dartride/darty30w.gif"></center></p>
<p>On <u>November 19th</u> I went to the other Universe to see my children <strong>Jazz</strong> and <strong>Emerald</strong> and finally meet <em>their newborn twins</em> <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/couple.gif' alt=':love:' class='wp-smiley' />  Awww they are adorable, believe me! And those gorgeous green and blue optics! They really enchanted me <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/hubbahubba.gif' alt=':inlove:' class='wp-smiley' />  I hope I can go over for a visit again soon &#8211; pregnancy allowing &#8211; because I always miss them so much.</p>
<p>Speaking of missed children, I&#8217;ve seen my son <strong>Tracks</strong> again in the other Universe, a few days ago. Only saw him for a moment, but it was the best moment ever! I hugged him so tightly, and I&#8217;m hoping he&#8217;ll come around sometimes soon. I hadn&#8217;t seen him in two months and I really missed being able to hold him in my arms like before.</p>
<p>What I&#8217;m worried about the most, at the moment, is my son <strong>Longreen</strong>. I&#8217;m worried because he doesn&#8217;t eat a lot, he doesn&#8217;t smile, and he&#8217;s always depressed and crying <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />  I know about his heart-breaks, and I so wish I could relieve the pain in his heart. But I fear not even a mother can do anything much to help that&#8230; He&#8217;s gotta find his strenght. Longreen, dear, if you&#8217;re reading this&#8230; <em><strong>be strong</strong></em>!!!</p>
<p>Yesterday I went to DS9, to see my kids who live there again. I only found <strong>Odo</strong>, though, together with his &#8216;father&#8217;, Dr. Mora. I hadn&#8217;t had a chance to speak to the scientist who took care of him for years as of yet, so took the occasion to talk to him and know him better <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Odo stayed close to us of course, his head resting on my should while all three of us were sitting at Quark&#8217;s, nicely talking. <strong>Dr. Mora</strong> told me he was really happy that Odo finally found a family who would love him and take care of him, and he only hoped he would never forget about him. Odo reassured him that he wouldn&#8217;t, and I told Dr. Mora that he could be close to my son as much as he wanted, and be a second father to him. He looked relieved, and I felt happy too <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Too bad I couldn&#8217;t stay over very long, but at least I got to cuddle Odo and spend some time with him and <em>Julian</em> too (a friend). Next time I hope to find my other kids there too <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  I miss them.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I haven&#8217;t been updating my blog in a bit, but I really have had <em>nearly no time</em> to come online at all. These last few days the kids have been so excited about Halloween&#8217;s upcoming that hubby and I could hardly contain their excitement as they went on with their costume making and everything <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/cute.gif' alt='^_^' class='wp-smiley' />  They&#8217;re all so cute anyways! Hehe.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t celebrate Halloween, but I know the kids like to have fun on this day, so I accompanied them to Robocity on <u>October 31st</u>, evening, when our friends were having the official city <u>Halloween Party</u>. Hubby drove me and our kids <strong>Elanah</strong>, <strong>Optimal</strong> and <strong>Jazz Tiger</strong> with his family there, since my belly is too heavy to let me walk (I&#8217;m approaching the <u>8th</u> month by now), and because <strong>Melody</strong> had had colics in the afternoon as was still too nervous because poor Jazz could even think to take her to the part on foot; and <strong>Nixon</strong> came along with us.</p>
<p>The rest of the kids who live with us (excepting Sideswipe, Longreen, Doc and a few others who had studying to get done or where on working shift) went to Robocity by themselves. <strong>Scarlette</strong>, along with <strong>Smokey</strong>, <strong>Thesh</strong>, <strong>Asha</strong> and <strong>Dukat</strong>, went first and indeed we found them there already when we arrived. They were all so cute dressed up as their favourite characters (and Asha like a witch). Scarlette hasn&#8217;t spent much time with her siblings though, since her boyfriend <u>Thunder</u> was there and of course she did grab the chance &#8217;till she had one <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  Smokey managed to take our newly adopted son <strong>Ironhide</strong> along, and he was so cute, being so shy around these people still new to him, but yet devouring cakes like a machine XD Oh dear! Smokey and Jazz Tiger have been involving him a lot though, and he got at ease in the new place after a few hours, and it was so cute to see him fall in love with his niece Melody too  <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/cute.gif' alt='^_^' class='wp-smiley' />  Then <strong>Rokusho</strong> and <strong>Metabee</strong>, with <strong>Hitmonchan</strong> joined the dances with the Robocity kids; <strong>Promet</strong> with <strong>Atlas</strong> and <strong>Starlight</strong> sang on the stage (Starlight&#8217;s girlfriend <em>Evelyn</em> was there singing with him too); <strong>Jimmy</strong> with <strong>Erik</strong> and <strong>Orion</strong> have just been quiet playing with Elanah and Optimal and the younger babies on the playing carpet; <strong>Ratty</strong> and <strong>Hugh</strong> spent most of the time talking about tech stuff, and <strong>Mirage</strong>, <strong>Proton</strong>, <strong>Hound</strong>, <strong>Sparkplug</strong>, <strong>Sonny</strong> and <strong>Bluestreak</strong> have been having fun playing and dancing with the other kids, even though lil&#8217; Blue was still being kind of shy around people not of the family.</p>
<p>Then <u>yesterday</u> was a really <em>quite</em> day. I&#8217;ve been studying, resting and helping my children with their homework or taking care of them. In the evening hubby helped me with cleaning the kitchen and then we cuddled together for a bit before sleep <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/couplekiss.gif' alt=':lovekiss:' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I got an <em>OB check up</em> tomorrow at <u>3PM</u>, and I hope <strong>Dartride</strong> is still the healthy unborn baby he&#8217;s been until now. Hubby will come along, he knows how apprehensive I am about these check ups. Hehe <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

I&#8217;m so happy to see that my son <strong>Jazz Tiger</strong> is enjoying his relationship and parent life so much <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  I&#8217;m proud of you darling! Hubby&#8217;s been cuddling little <strong>Melody</strong> (Jazz T.&#8217;s daughter) a little today, and he&#8217;s so in love with her! <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/cute.gif' alt='^_^' class='wp-smiley' />  Too bad <strong>Elanah</strong> got a little jealous and started crying, but I know she&#8217;ll soon get used to it.</p>
<p><strong>October 14</strong><br />
<em>Rhinox</em> checked me up today. Baby <strong>Dartride</strong> is growing up well inside my belly, and he thinks I might do it to full term, but we&#8217;ll have to see&#8230; Darty&#8217;s a big boy and his door wings may sign the end of pregnancy sooner than we expect. Oh gosh, I just hope he&#8217;ll be okay <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />  Hubby&#8217;s been with me during the check-up, but he thinks it&#8217;ll be alright. I so strongly hope so..<br />
By the way, <strong>Optimus Prime</strong> bought a Wii console for my children <strong>Sides F.</strong> and <strong>Longreen</strong>! *_* Oh dear! Thank you dad! You made your grandkids&#8217; happiness! x3</p>
<p><strong>October 15</strong><br />
Hubby has been called to Cybertron for <u>3 days</u>. I hope he&#8217;ll be back soon <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />  I freaked out when he told me, and cried too&#8230; because last time he was called on a mission, he died, and he could come back to life only 2 years and half later. He hugged me close, and reassured me it&#8217;ll be alright, that it&#8217;s just an interview and nothing more, but I&#8217;m still worried. I hope he&#8217;ll be back home safe. May God and Primus be with him.</p>
<p><strong>October 16</strong><br />
This morning I went to visit <strong>Em</strong> and I found her with <strong>Jazz</strong> <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  I was so happy to see them again, since had been so long!<br />
Lunch time was awesome! <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/cute.gif' alt='^_^' class='wp-smiley' />  You know, today&#8217;s <strong>Doc</strong>&#8216;s birthday and I prepared another <u>big</u> chocolate cake. Yum <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/yum.gif' alt=':9' class='wp-smiley' />  My kids <strong>Sunstreaker L.</strong> and <strong>Smokescreen</strong> helped me with it, of course, while <strong>Asha</strong> baked some delicious Cardassian recipe cookie. Awesome! We finished eating and partying just before Doc started his afternoon shift, and even though we didn&#8217;t make it in time to invite all of our other kids from the other Transformers Universe, it was a wonderful, enjoyable time. <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
In the evening, after cleaning the kitchen, I went to the other Universe to see <strong>Ratch</strong>. It&#8217;s been so long since I last seen him, and I missed him so much&#8230; My belly&#8217;s growing bigger, so I can&#8217;t travel as often as before, and my heart always misses my dear kids, all the time. Well, Ratch and I spent some beautiful time together, we cuddled and bonded also, and we took a short nap together before I had to leave for home again. Adorable, <em>precious</em> moments <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/couple.gif' alt=':love:' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong>October 17</strong><br />
At <u>9AM</u> in the morning, I helped my daughter <strong>Scarlette</strong> dress up and I washed and dried her hair, so that she could be ready by 10.30AM to go to Robocity and spend the day with her boyfriend Thundercracker. They&#8217;re so cute! <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/couplekiss.gif' alt=':lovekiss:' class='wp-smiley' />  Darling kids, mommy hopes you two stay together forever, you know <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong>October 18</strong><br />
This morning I woke up very early (<u>6 AM</u>) to prepare breakfast for my children, as at 8.30 AM I had to run out to take the bus to <strong>Tor Vergata University</strong>, as there was a JavaScript class I needed to attend to improve my web programming skills. The nice this is that my son <strong>Longreen</strong> came along to keep me company and follow the lecture too <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  He&#8217;s loving University, and I&#8217;m so proud of him! Too bad <strong>Sideswipe</strong> couldn&#8217;t come as well, but he&#8217;d been studying until late the night before and he was still sleeping as we left.<br />
At <u>3PM</u> <em>Jackie came back home</em>!!! *_* Oh dear! I was in tears for the happiness, glad and thankful to God that nothing had happened to my love in his journey. We had some <em>private time</em> together in our room almost just afterwards, then we took care of our children and watched DVDs together <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/cute.gif' alt='^_^' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
In the evening, after I got done cleaning the kitchen, <strong>hubby Jackie</strong> told me he was missing our son <strong>Jazz</strong> from the other Universe very much, and he asked me if we could go see him for a bit. I agreed, since I wanted to see him again too, and we left on our shuttle. We found him reading on the couch, but he left everything to come and hug me <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/couple.gif' alt=':love:' class='wp-smiley' />  He still hasn&#8217;t gotten used to his father much, so after a while I decided to come back home and leave the boys talk and getting to know each other better <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/cute.gif' alt='^_^' class='wp-smiley' />  Well, Jackie just came home and told me he and Jazz have been talking a lot, and they hugged each other too. That makes me so happy! *_* I won&#8217;t ask for more details for now though, because I&#8217;m very tired and all I wanna do is sleep. I shall tomorrow <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong>October 19</strong><br />
This morning, after little <strong>Smokey</strong> and I got back from Church, we found someone at home&#8230; an Autobot that I know and love, <strong>Red Alert J.</strong>. We&#8217;ve been talking before he had to leave for his planet again, but&#8230; he made me understand that he really wishes to become my son. You know what? I&#8217;ve always wished for him to be one of my kids <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/angel.gif' alt=':angel:' class='wp-smiley' />  I love him so dearly! But I told him I&#8217;d need to set up the papers on Cybertron first, and that someone else before him has to be adopted: <strong>Ironhide Falco</strong>, who&#8217;s been waiting for so long, and whom I refused as a son some months ago because I was depressed and totally lost my mind <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />  Poor sweetie&#8230; but you&#8217;re going to get your mommy and daddy soon, Irony! You have my word! <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/couple.gif' alt=':love:' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>By the way, my babies tagged me! <img src='http://bellachino.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
