Holy Week

Haay, this is quite a long overdue post but I'll blog about it anyway..

We didn't go to any provinces last holy week.. My OB advised kasi for me to rest na lang as much as possible..

Wednesday, our company declared half day work. Some of my officemates planned to go to Dampa for lunch but I didn't join na. Jerry will be waiting kasi for me. Jon said I can invite him also pero I know ma sha-shy ang hubby ko so I just told him na next time na lang. What I did was, I went to Megamall (my time to shop! hehehe). I visited first Pain and Rehab clinic. My pain kasi akong iniinda since last week pa on my thumb tendon. I underwent PT for 45 minutes. Medyo ok naman yung feeling after the PT. The doctor recommended for a splint para sa hands ko kaya lang it's worth 1,700! I didn't get the splint. I just ask jerry to put a splint when we got home... The doctor told me to visit them every other day, hindi naman yun possible so di na ko bumalik. Yun nga lang, until now... masakit pa rin hands ko :(

Thursday, Just stayed home. We decided to have our family outing tomorrow sa Laguna so kinda busy ang parents ko and sisters sa preparation. Ako naman nakigulo lang... Jerry naman busied himself para i-condition yung gagamitin naming sasakyan tomorrow. We slept late na...tapos 3:30 am pa wake up call namin the next day :D

Friday, We woke up early.. mahirap na daw malate at matraffic sa biyahe eh. Ok naman coz we arrived at Laguna by 7:00 am. Pagdating sa resort, medyo disappointed ako.. it's not what we expected the resort to be kasi..as in disappointed lahat. Balak nga namin mag transfer sa iba pero sayang naman yung reservation namin another gastos pag mag transfer.. Buti na lang hindi na sila naginarte :D... so they just enjoyed the place later on. We still had a wonderful family outing despite it. Me naman, hindi ko masyado na-enjoy.. di kasi ako pwede mag swimming :( so i just feel the water (nagtampisaw, in short) and enjoyed the food! :D (pictures i'll post later..). We went home by 3:30 pm (aga noh?) balak sana namin mag travel pa to tagaytay kaya lang medyo pagod na rin yung iba so we decided to go home na lang.

Saturday, we did are usual saturday chores.. hubby ko naglabada :D. We then went to our parents house to have our lunch. Stayed there for a while and played with my favorite niece, AC. Then we went home and had a little talk tapos slept na.. pagod pa rin kasi from yesterday's swimming.

Sunday, church day. Jerry was assigned to preach so I went to church with him. After the service, people approached him to thanked him for the message he shared...it was really a wonderful service. After church, we went to SM Cubao to buy other baby stuffs..Sobrang nawili ako mamili hehehe :D. Buti na lang my sister handed me Alyssa's other stuffs so yung ibang things ni baby hindi na ko bumili. After shopping, Jerry craved for halo-halo so we went to Goldilocks to eat. Went home tired but enjoyed the day naman.

That's it... despite my condition I still enjoyed my long week-end. :D

By the way, I'm already 32 weeks now and sobra nang naiinip to see baby JM. I had Braxton Hicks contractions every now and then.. my sister said sign daw yun that I'm nearing my term... :)

Weekend and preggy

Here's how my week-end went:

Saturday:

My schedule of an OGTT (Oral Glucose Tolerance Test). Last night I stopped eating at 11pm (the RMT said I need 8 hrs fasting from 11 pm-7am) We went to the laboratory at 7 am. I had 4 blood extractions with 1 hour intervals. The test was finshed by 11 am. I was so hungry na and I almost fainted. :D

The result was ok naman and I'm glad that I passed. :D (wala naman kasi kaming hsitory ng diabetis). I didn't passed my OGCT kasi last time kaya I went through another blood test e.

At 4pm, I visited my OB for my check-up (every other week na schedule ko now that I'm 31 weeks pregnant).

My OB said that baby JM is well but... her size in not normal for an eigth month old! Medyo nagulat naman ako dun. Kasi feeling ko, my tummy is so big na that's why conrolled ko na carbo intake ko. Now, she prescribed twice intake of my Moriamin Forte para mahabol daw ang size ni baby and change pa ko ng milk.

I don't want to go under the knife... ayoko talaga that's why I'm making it to a point na hindi lalaki si baby ng above 7 lbs.

Do I need to heed to my OB's advice? hmmm... di kaya gusto niya lumaki si baby para ma-CS ako?? hehehe.. :D


Sunday:

It's my mother's birthday! We cooked carbonara (one is tuna sauce, the other one is bacon and mushroom). Then we cooked baked spareribs..yummy! Dami ko nakain.. OB said kumain daw ako ng marami eh... so sinamantala ko ang birthday ng mother ko. Indulge talaga ko...

Company Summer Outing

We had our company summer outing last Saturday at Kidzworld, Dasmariñas. It was a nice place although sobrang lapit nga. I still prefer a beach though.. but the place was really nice and the amenities are quite good. Sad lang, I didn't really enjoy it kasi My OB didn't allow me to swim. So sight seeing, eating and sleeping lang ang ginawa ko the whole day. Inggit ako sa mga officemates ko..they really enjoyed it lalo na sa wave pool. Para na ring beach,yun nga lang artificial. :D

Wala din ako gana sa mga pictures cause I really think that I don't look good..knowing my bulging tummy and my... ang taba ko na talaga! :D..But here are two pictures na pwede nang pagtiyagaan. hehehe!

Anticipating

Groan...Groan..Groan....yeah.... I'm super naiinip na talaga...... I can't wait to see my BABY!

I'm on my 29th week and I still have 11 weeks more! 11 more weeks of uncomfortable and sleepless nights for me :D..

Baby JM is very active... I'm happy.. though it's sort of uncomfortable at times. She kicks alot and hard... it hurts sometimes. She twists and turns and rolls alot.. But I'm glad because it only assures me that she's healthy. I kept a kickcount chart now to monitor her movements. I got it from mommyguide. Also, this book that I'm reading really helps alot in answering my questions throughout the stages that I'm going through. Thanks to my sister for giving this to me. I digress.

Two saturdays ago, I was scheduled for OGCT and other blood tests. CBC and Hematology. I didn't passed the OGCT that's why I 'm scheduled for another blood testing on April 8. This time, it would be an OGTT. I will be having 4 blood extractions and with fasting. Hope I'll passed it this time. These tests are way too costly! :D. I digress.

I don't eat mongo but it seems that I need to eat that now that my feet are beginning to swell. Edema that is. Though mild pa naman.. pero buti na na maagapan. I don't want to see my feet grow big like an elephant!! yikes!! hehehe... Good thing hubby is massaging them every night. I'm thankful. Now it lessen the swelling. :D . I digress a little more.

They say that at this stage is the time to shop for the baby. Well, I don't have alot to buy for my baby. My sister gave me Alyssa's baby clothes and other stuffs ... that it really sweet of her, at least I've saved on that part. :D. I just need to buy minor things. And a baby sling perhaps. Maya Wrap or R-Jelly?? I'll check on that. Im thankful too for the Avent Feeding Bottles that I got from the N@W baby shower.

Well... these are my thoughts for the moment..

It's a girl!

IT'S A GIRL!!!! :D

Yup, we finally knew her gender and we're really happy. Jerry wanted our firstborn to be a girl. He said mas responsible and maalaga daw pag girl. Well, gusto ko rin girl e...ganda kasi ayusan..hehe :D

Last Friday is my scheduled ultrasound. It's not the usual ultrasound na ginagawa to know the gender on the 7th month. It's called Congenital Anomaly Scanning.. well, sounds really alarming. And I was kinda bothered since my OB scheduled me for that. I was on my 5th month then. I told her kasi that I had a mollar filling done and the dentist used laser. When I told my OB about it, she said that there's a possible risk but she's not that worried since the baby has reached it's crucial development before the fill. But though she said she's not that worried, as a mother, super worried naman talaga ako. Ano ba naman kasi yung ginawa ko without consulting first my OB no?

So we went to Delos Santos Hospital last Friday. (hindi ako dito manganganak, dito lang daw kasi available yung CAS na malapit sa amin) I was with Jerry. We were there 10 am, medyo marami ng patients so we waited for our turn. When the nurse called my name,I asked if Jerry could come inside. May poster kasi sila that said "Only Patients are allowed inside". They just told Jerry to wait na tawagin siya, pero guess what? natapos at natapos ang test ko, hindi siya tinawag. And natapos kami at around 1pm na. Ang sungit pa ng songrapher. Kainis talaga dun! hmp! Buti na lng one time lang visit ko sa hospital na yun.

Anyways, congenital anomaly scanning is being done to know if there are certain deffects or abnormalities sa baby. Katakot! The doctor gradually examines my baby. Every part ng body niya like her heart, stomach, spine, kidneys, hands, feet, face... basta lahat. I was really happy as I saw her sa monitor. Lalo na when I saw her little hands. Thank God complete ang mga fingers niya. I had weird dreams kasi before this ultrasound eh. After that, the doctor told me na she didn't find any abnormalities ..everything is ok and normal even her size. Praise God!!!

Now, medyo at peace na kami. We're even excited...We'll just wait for her time to come out. I know she'll be as beautiful as her mom and dad! :D
