Visiting St Lukes Hospital in Manila!

[Music] thank you look at that reflection in there good morning guys welcome to another beautiful day in Manila I think this could be weather-wise the best day we've had so far let me do a little weather check I mean yeah come on look at the look at that blue sky beautiful little plane coming in over there and as always greeted in the mornings by this beautiful view of the Venice Mall wow it's a super hot one today as well very hot I think the last couple of days are the first few days here on the trip we've been um oh there's a sun behind me oh lovely I'm gonna sit on our little table and chairs these table and chairs have survived really well I can't remember exactly where we bought these from but we just kept it super simple out here with a little bit of furniture yeah the first few days here have been more kind of Cloudy and gray skies and we've already had quite a lot of rain heavy rain so it's nice to wake up today to some blue skies I'm so nervous having my phone in my pocket here like oh look look down here my phone would just my phone was here in this pocket and it could just easily go I'm super scared of that I'm gonna put my phone on the table I also want to share with you something because maybe I'll flip this way trying to find these vlogging angles uh it's a little bit dark you can't really see me something that I've been doing in the UK as well but it's way easier to do here because we get the sunlight in the morning facing our balconies we get a lot of natural sunlight and the reason I'm on my phone while talking to you is because I put an Instagram reel on a few days ago by the way please do follow us on Instagram if you're enjoying seeing our trip here in the Philippines Lucy and I wow huge plane thank you Lucy and I are both posting daily stories over on our Instagrams and loads of reels which are short mini videos so if the Vlogs aren't quite enough for you every other day which is how we're uploading at the moment then please follow us on Instagram you can follow along with our trip a little bit more closely and in more real time but I put a reel on the other day seven reasons to get sunlight in the morning and I'll quickly read them out to you because I think it's important to share stuff like this because if you've been watching the Vlogs in the UK you'll know that myself and Lucy have been on a mission for like self-improvement feeling the best we can getting more healthy getting more fit and getting morning sunlight is actually super good for you I'll read these seven reasons quickly it can fight insomnia and Seasonal effective at this order which is where your mood can change with the weather which I definitely have it can reduce stress helps you sleep better fights depression and anxiety it's a mood booster you're less likely to get sunburned because your skin is more prepared for sun exposure there's some science behind that one and it can kick start productivity for the day letting your body also the reason we don't wear sunglasses anymore we dipped sunglasses because there's certain things that getting into your eyes and into your body wakes you up if you wear sunglasses your body still thinks you're kind of ready for sleep keeps you at a constant level of being tired so the sunglasses guys just want to start the Vlog with that little um a little bit of time on the balcony a little Health tip and now I believe we are heading into BGC we're going to grab some coffee [Music] another day another day of Coda loving the elevator why are you going to ground floor I don't know eight months yeah I want to quickly also show you guys the car seat where you've got for Coda it's a Volkswagen rear-facing car seat super safe it's got the eye to fix points as well just down here let me show you and that basically locks into the car seat so it's really secure we've also got the leg down here which again gives another level of safety because we saw some comments saying I don't think we filmed coda in the car in the first few days and people saying oh please um please get a car seat because I'm not sure I think it is now Laura in the Philippines or in some areas it is but I think previously and I'm just going on what I've heard I'm not entirely sure I think previously it hasn't been law in some years or some areas or something um to actually have kids in the car seat in the Philippines yeah no it's like a number one priority for us when Bob said about this car is like can you please make sure we've got a car seat in it because it's so important [Music] hey how you doing thank you so much thank you so nice to meet so many of you guys who watch the vlogs as we're out and about it really has been such a nice welcome back here thank you we've met a ton of you guys who watch the Vlogs even I think as soon as we landed someone said welcome back I'll watch your videos so nice to meet so many of you also a really nice breeze out today nice yeah super nice keeping us cool it was 28.5 which we saw in the car which to be honest we have been used to that in England it's definitely been 28 degrees 100 but it's the humidity here but the humidity's taken away slightly look at us British folk talking about the weather again no it's all we do but the the wind takes a bit of the humidity out of the air somehow so feeling quite comfortable at the moment [Music] who remembers of this coffee shop this really feels like a blast from the past this one this is we used to come to this is Toby's in 2018 2018 four years ago and this was a favorite of ours [Music] I hope you went to Landmark and you may think while you're in the Cassie that was quick we're in BDC still there's now a landmark in BGC and we needed to pick up a few things to the apartment that we don't have so a chopping board a cheese grater a saucepan because I was having to boil pasta in a frying pan this much water in it evaporated I'd have to keep topping up again not ideal and some spoons and things so really random but it means that Coda can have a nap in the cold because I think this is the hottest day so far and we wanted to recover him in clothes for mosquito right and for the Sun but he's going to get quite hot so we've got the fan and things on him so we need to kind of regulate his temperature um so yeah he's having a nap we're doing a bit of shopping and then we're going to take a walk on BTC so today really we just wanted to get some steps in we wanted to do a little bit of walking and have a little bit of a I suppose oh he's still asleep you're awake okay you go ahead you go ahead Pat Lucy Lucy says I shout when I Vlog I don't I don't think I mean to I think you just train yourself to speak a little bit louder when you Vlog because of noise around you and stuff like that so if anyone's ever seen us vlogging in public and it sounds like we're shouting at a camera that is why yeah we wanted to get some steps in and have a little walk around some of the BGC areas that we haven't yet been to and we've just come across St Luke's Hospital which has oh there there's the guy hey there he is how are you doing I was just thinking about it we saw your video today yeah um I think so you've said some nice things about us so okay that's hilarious we were just watching this guy's Vlog this morning hello Jim good to see you again thank you my gym perfect so I did say it wrong in the Vlog I remember when we first watched your blog like so Mogan thank you um I know a lot of you guys will know him making some very very cool Vlogs here and we just literally bumped into each other walking around the corner and then we've been having a chat and you're going to join us for lunch wow amazing we're trying out a mano you haven't had it before no I haven't well I've just moved wow technically haven't even moved it yeah no congrats on the condo thank you so much all right cool let's go okay Mo game has just gone to drop his scooter back um and then we're gonna have a little bit of food okay change of plan they don't open until five o'clock and it is four o'clock now and we sadly do need food right now so I think it's gonna have to be a shake shock grab something quick [Music] look at this here we go double smoke shark that's a work of art there you can't go wrong okay and I'm trying out their new one which is the hot chicken is that the Hot Chip yeah the hot chicken so it's dark meat it's chicken thighs with like a spicy fried rum like pasta some pickles and some coleslaw so let's give it a go I'm not sure how spicy it's going to be because sometimes in the Philippines they say hot but I think the level of heat in the UK versus I'm trying to Vlog here this guy's moving chairs around you should know um yeah sometimes the level of heat here isn't as potted in the UK like the Jolly thing we tried in England well that blew my head off but the spice has really been here is manageable so let's see thank you [Music] nice [Music] it's a good level of heat very manageable very delicious yeah and how does this way for now all right great to hang out finally so naturally just around the corner I couldn't believe that yeah so cool and I'm sure we will see you around BGC okay again because it's so small we can walk everywhere and we bump into everything absolutely enjoy the new condo yeah come around come around once it's all done sounds good sounds good that was so nice to randomly bump into mug in there and have a good Shake Shack there's never not a good time for Shake Shack wow that was loud okay I'm gonna have to shout now so that you can hear me I don't know if you're even about to hear me now but look just before we bumped into him on that corner I was about to start talking about something um that was just crazy for us we just thought about having a little bit of a moment and we were just looking at St Luke's Hospital we've just come across St Luke's Hospital which has oh there there's the guy and for us that is a place that has such a special meaning to us and it felt so surreal because it was a place where when I found out I was pregnant with soda when we were living at the Grand Hampton down this way it was like a five minute walk to St Luke's and I think I was only six or seven weeks pregnant I went for my first scan baby babies hold on you can see the umbilical form where it's connecting yeah up there to the baby it's a baby and it looks like a little shrimp the heartbeat yeah and then the heartbeat then you turn it on here so you can record [Music] thank you that's amazing thank you so much thank you listen [Music] guys crazy yeah that's perfect thank you so much thank you all right thank you so much WoW George wasn't allowed in so I was on my own I tried to film a little bit for him but they wouldn't really let me and I heard His Heartbeat I saw his little shrimp mini shrimp body they called him a shrimp that's not my words but he did look like a shrimp and I I managed to record the heartbeat and show George outside the hospital and then we had our second scan here we had loads of blood tests we had all the stuff up to 20 weeks which is when we left in that hospital and it was so surreal I remember I remember I had to do that fast for like 12 hours I wasn't allowed to eat or drink or something like that and then at like 10 or 11 p.m at night I went and got all my blood taken and they did all my tests and things to check that he was a healthy baby and it's so surreal that now that baby was right in front of that hospital as a as an eight month old it's massive a huge baby that crawls and like talks a little bit to us and like says dada and Mama and it's crazy as well it's like I'm telling a horror story but it's actually a really happy story I'm telling you but it's like it was a dark until I mean like um yeah and it's just amazing it's like it's always going to be that place so we found out we're having our first baby we found out we're gonna be parents I know you do like the pee on a stick thing and you're pregnant at that point but once you have an actual doctor telling you in like a white coat and you're there in like a clinical place in a hospital and they're saying you are pregnant that is your baby that's when it all feels real and so thrill so so mental seeing that again with him as an eight-month-old baby so yeah it's very special foreign [Music] [Music] okay [Music]
