Week 19 - 20: Halfway There!

Happy New Year!

My first entry for the year 2013... Hooray!

Q: Did you know that the blogger/wife/mom-to-be  just add a year to her age just before the new year?

COMPLETE.

As we welcome 2013, I feel so blessed and lucky to celebrate it with complete family, it's been a while... and yes, the drama and the hugging and the tears will always be there! Oh well, it is not a family reunion without a little drama.

We do not have the perfect family but I'm happy with it, they made me stronger and made me who I am today. It made me appreciate life and love.

I wrote each one of them a letter (except for Dadi and Baby) stating my hopes and dreams for them. We may not have an extravagant celebration, but a complete family is enough, I just hope this will last forever... a lifetime...

HALFWAY.

Today (01.09.13)  as per Baby Center Apps: Congratulations! You've hit the halfway mark in your pregnancy. 

I feel more energetic and less of the morning sickness, minsan nakakalimutan ko na preggy pala ako especially if I'm too occupied with my work. 

Baby Kicks are here and I'm feeling it. Minsan na co-confuse ako if it is just an upset stomach or if it is my baby's kick. :)

Kakaibang experience pala ang maramdaman ang unang movement ni baby inside my belly. Feeling ko he/she is joining my conversation with his/her father. :) 

We do not know the gender of our baby yet but I'm schedule to have my Congenital Scan/Ultrasound on the 17th of January... I'm sooooo excited... Hopefully the test will turn out great.  we wanted to know if everything is fine and wanted to find out if baby is a Girl or a Boy... We've been playing with names lately and we haven't decided yet, to what letter the name will start. hehehe. We want our baby's name to be simple... Kasi ayaw namin cya mahirapan mag sulat ng name nya pag nag-aaral na siya. hahaha.

Thank God for all the Blessings and 

for all the wonderful gifts (in all forms)

Happy 2013 Everyone!

Week 16-18

It's Christmas and I am still sick. Yes! due to Upper Respiratory Tract Infection (URTI).
Because of that naubos na ang Sick Leave ko... I was unable to attend any Christmas party and Family Reunions.

Dadi Jep also got sick, nahawa na sa akin ang aking tagapag alaga. and we feel like para kaming na exile.
Nakakasawa rin pala ang mag stay sa bahay for weeks. Urgh!

As of today I still have cough, but tolerable.

My Birthday is near and all I can wish for is for me and my Baby to be Healthy...

Merry Christmas Everyone!

The Only Christmas Themed Picture We have this December

Week 15

I supposed to meet my OB last Saturday (Dec 1) but I can't find a clinic that can undergo an ultrasound... Ayun naman pala.. all of the Sonologist are gone for a convention and even my OB is in there to so the check up and ultra sound was rescheduled on Monday.

Came Monday, I went to the lab for my Pelvic Ultrasound, surprisingly the one who's doing my Ultrasound is my OB, I feel kinda attached to her somehow. She did the Pelvic Ultrasound and she's telling me what she sees, unfortunately she can't tell if I'm having a boy or a girl yet, maybe it is still too early. Baby is fine and I had no more bleeding, though my OB still have to check me thru TVU since she can't see my placenta via Pelvic Ultrasound, and then she found out that my placenta is kinda naka harang agad sa Cervix and I should still be careful para maiwasan at hindi na ulit ako mag Bleed.

When I was looking at my baby, i can see his/her legs, arms, nose, lips, eyes and forehead, my OB even show me his/her spine.

Too bad, Dadi Jep was not there to witness his child moving inside me, maybe next time. Hindi kasi umabot si dadi... paglabas ko ng clinic there He was sitting and waiting outside. (sayang much). The last time that he's with me during the ultrasound, baby is still a tiny embryo, now baby is a fetus na.

My OB advise me to start taking CALCIUMade and take Duvadilan if needed.

~Sana maging OK na ang lahat during the rest of my pregnancy.

Tuesday (Dec 4) I started to report for work.

Christmas is near and I don't have the luxury of going to the mall to do some shopping... Urgh!

BTW, due to my condition, Dadi Jep and I decided to spend the rest of the Holiday together at Home in our pad at Makati, para less hassle for me on travelling and for me to avoid that Holiday Rush. Also, this will be our last Holiday as a couple since next year we'll be celebrating it together with our Baby...

Hooray! For family life... and for the gift of life and love that God is Showering over us...

Thanks for your time reading my entry... God Bless.
