Girl or Boy ?

I will have my monthly OBGYNE checkup tomorrow... I will be having my biometry and if possible then the gender of my child will be revealed... Excited, yup I am... I want to know if it's a girl or boy... Actually this is only a confirmation... When I had my ultrasound last end of April, my doctor told me that it is a girl pero malabo pa yung ultrasound because the baby still is small. Now that I am entering my sixth month, the gender of my child can now be seen... If and only if my child wont hide it... So baby, let mommy know if you're a girl or a boy so I can prepare your things before you come out in this beautiful world...

How time flies...

When you view my previous blog... There was one titled " looking forward "... I made maybe 4 or 5 lists of what I look forward for 2012... One of which is trying to have a baby... Maybe God saw and read what I wrote... Maybe He evaluated my life and saw that I only have one child and that child wants to have a sibling... So that is why I am now 22 and a half weeks pregnant... That is almost 6 months... And that is why we are very happy and everybody is trying very hard to keep my pregnancy safe. This is due to my previous unfortunate experience... But I moved forward so this time it will be fine. Thank you Lord for this blessings... See you after nine months baby... That is 3 more months to go... Can't wait!!!

Fear factor...

I am almost on my 6th month of pregnancy... Some think that I am on the safer stage now. But still there is a fear inside me... I don't want to say it but I am nervous and a little bit worried everyday. What if this happen... What if I... Too many what ifs... When I wake up in the morning and before I go to sleep at night, I read the Bible and pray to thank the Lord for all the blessings and guidance for a safe And healthy pregnancy. Praying is a powerful tool to overcome this fear that I am feeling... To let go of all the worries that throb my head... And telling myself that everthing will be fine. Thank you Lord for each day...

Grade Four...

Yup my little boy is now a grade 4 student... Binata na... He is now wearing long pants, polo and necktie... A required uniform for the fourth graders... Eventhough it's just the first week of class, my kid has lots of assignments and requirements to bring for his class. I hope this year will be a great year for my little boy academically...

Day 3 ...

Day 3 was when we went to the hospital for our first prenatal check-up... We decided that if my cousin who is an OBGYNE was available then she will be my OB... but she was out of the country for a convention... so we decided to go to my 1st OBGYNE... Dra. Emma...

When I entered the hospital my heart pounded... excited, happy , nervous were the emotions I felt that time.   When my OB first checked on me, I told her my pregnancy history... she then wanted me to have an trans-vaginal ultrasound to know how many weeks is my pregnancy since I do not know my LMP (irregular kse eh). Yup! I was 4-1/2 weeks pregnant.  She then lay down the cards on me... the pros and cons... the advantages and disadvantages... the risks... this is because of my previous pregnancy history. She gave me prescriptions like, Utrogestan, progesterone vaginal gel, folic acid and aspirin (due to her suspicion of APAs). This was taken up to 3 months of pregnancy to help in formation of the placenta and other important parts to bring the baby to life. Every two weeks I had my prenatal check up , undergo a transV, and drink the prescriptions given by my OB.

As days and months passed by... My bump starts to show... I begin to wear loose clothes to be comfortable... I was adviced by my OB to take an off from work during my first trimester just to ensure that everything will go well... As of this very moment, everything is A - ok. In everything that I do, I try to be extra careful just to make sure that my pregnancy will be fine... Now I am 21 and 4 days on the way and I am feeling alright... Excited... Happy... I am still praying that everything will be as planned... Thank you Jesus for this another life that grows in my womb... I know that everything that I am and I am experiencing was because of you... God bless my baby!
