A little update on my pregnancy.
I am now on my 34 weeks and 5 days pregnancy; and this journey is wonderful. I am really really lucky to not have even 1 day of morning sickness. I did feel sobrang pagod, antok and nahirapan akong matulog I think till on my 7th month. Pero nothing really serious. I also experienced heartburn once (na nagising ako sa sobrang sakit and cried after that), was constipated on my first 3 months, and colds and cough on my 7th month. Mejo pasaway pa nga ako dahil nagre-render pa ko ng 4 hours OT kahit more than 6 months na ko. May times pa nga na umuuwi ako ng 12 midnight kahit na ang sabi sakin ni OB eh till 8pm lang daw ako.
Pero thank God, based on our ultrasound yesterday, I think our baby is healthy. She is so malikot, mas malikot kesa mga naunang months. And medyo masakit at ramdam na ramdam ko na bawat galaw nya, kasi malaki na sya.
I also gained a lot of weight; I started at 60 kilos, but now I weigh 73 kilos na, I gained 13 kilos, OMG! Ang swerte ko din kasi I don't experience the swelling and hindi naman ako masyadong nagka-cramps. Hindi rin naman nagmukhang sausage ang mga hands at feet ko. :-)
Wala akong cravings or food aversions on my 1st trimester. Ayoko lang ng luto ko. :-) I have cravings when I enter the third trimester. Sobrang hilig ko sa matamis. I actually did not pass the first glucose test, it was a 50 gram glucose test. Dapat 105 pababa ung normal pero 108 na ko. So the OB advised me to take the 100 gram OGTT. Kakasuka ung orange glucose drink. Buti na lang normal. :-)
Parang kelan lang when we learned that I am pregnant pero ngayon 34 weeks and 5 days na. Due date is almost 6 weeks from today, but baby can be out na by 37 weeks without a problem. Amazing! The little girl inside of me has been quite an athlete lately, lots of moving around, lots of kicking, elbowing, all beautiful reminders that she is inside of me. Tuwang tuwa si Husband whenever he feels our baby's movement.
My things to do pa? Packing our hospital bag. Well I started packing na for our baby; washcloths na lang ang kulang. Then next week on our long long weekend (due to Lenten season) I'll pack for me and my husband. :-)
I'm 35 weeks on Wednesday, and I can't wait to meet our little girl. I am excited, but I'm also starting to feel a little nervous as I get closer to my due date. Nervous about delivery and wondering if the baby is really healthy. My OB told me pa na hindi daw nya ko a-anaesthesia-han so I can really feel the labor pain. Mas tight daw ang bonding with your child pag na-feel mo talaga ang pain. I pray na sana maging okay ang lahat and sana normal ang delivery ko.
3 to 6 weeks pa before our baby arrive. Until then, I want to take it easy and prepare for the big day.
So far so good! :)

We're Having a Baby Girl!
Oh, yes, bring on the pink, because we're having a girl! :-)
It was on my 20-week ultrasound when we learned that, I know sobrang late na tong post ko, 34 weeks na ko now, lol! Medyo alangan pa nga si OB that time, maaga pa daw to know; and it was only if the baby was in the right position. Si Husband din tuloy medyo nag-alangan.
Pero if you know how enthusiastic, makulit and mapilit I am, syempre pinilit ko si Husband, galit galitan pa ko. I said "e di kung hindi makita ung gender ni baby pa-ultrasound ulit tayo". Aside from knowing the baby's gender syempre gusto ko din makita kung kumusta na sya at kung healthy ba sya. So the husband said, okay let's do this!
I remember being so excited to see our baby up on the screen and saw how our baby grew from her 10-week ultrasound. The OB checked the baby's head, brain, face, going down to the heart, spine, kidneys, umbilical cord, check, check, check! With every word, I was giggling, our baby is so malikot.
Mejo tumagal pa ng ilang minutes when we got a definite answer. We are absolutely having a girl.
I actually thought that our baby is a boy -and it turned out to be a girl, my mommy intuition was wrong, lol!
I know Husband is very very happy, he really wanted a girl. Responsible daw pag girl ang panganay, which I agree because I am the eldest in our family. I remember the Husband grinning with her 2 eyebrows going up and down. That's how he is when he's happy. Hmmph, aayaw ayaw pa sya nung una, hahaha.
Though I thought that our baby is a boy, sobrang happy pa din ako to know that I'll have a daughter. I am not actually a fan of baby pink, but I love hot pink! Purple! Tutus! And doll shoes! And now I have an excuse to buy them all! :-)
And you know what's the best part of our ultrasound? It's seeing our baby yawn! Oh I'm telling you, it's the cutest, and I so love it. Dapat pala ni-video ko. Isipin mo na lang if I'm so happy and excited about a little yawn, imagine how much I'll melt when I hold and touch her na. I can't wait.. 4 weeks to go!
So happy to experience this first-time mom's greatest blessing.

Maternity Shoot
And I'm back again. YAY! for the new blog post. :-)
At dahil feeling ko eh sawang sawa na ang mga fb and instagram friends ko sa kakapost ko about my pregnancy and the baby, dito na lang ako magpopost.
So last week, I had my maternity shoot. I so wanted this ever since I got pregnant. I actually asked The Husband many times if I can ask our wedding photographer how much their service is. Pero as usual since he is the practical one, he kept saying NO. Mahal daw yun, kasi mga professional photographers na sila. Oo nga naman, feeling ko rin mahal sila. Tsaka nakakahiya din pag nagtanong ka tapos pag namahalan ka eh hindi mo naman sila kukunin.
I asked Great Image, 850 sya with 3 print pictures na 1-5R and 2-3R. Tapos if you want na ipaframe ung 5R, 1450 na sya. Marami syang shots pero you need to choose lang the best 3 shots na ipiprint nila, if you want an additional picture add ka ng 100 per picture. So, I said to The Husband na 850 na lang.
Pero last week, after the checkup, we ate at Wendy's in Puregold, Anabu. Sa Puregold kasi kami nagpa-park pag checkup since maliit lang ung parking space sa Medicard Clinic. We don't usually enter the Puregold, hanggang parking area lang kami or sa Wendy's pag kakain. Eh naiihi ako that time so sinamahan ako ni husband.
Nadaanan namin ang The Big Picture Studio and I saw from their tarp displayed na may maternity shoot silang service, kaya I asked na how much. And you know how much their package is??? 236 pesos! Yes, 236 only for 3 pictures, 1-5R and 2-3R print pictures. Plus Php70.00 if you want the 5R pic in a frame and additional Php59.00 for every soft copy of the picture. Sobrang mura compare sa Great Image diba?
Pagkarinig ko pa lang sa 236 umilaw na agad ang bumbilya sa utak ko. At dahil excited ako at impulsive I said to the husband na that time din eh magpapapicture na ko. At syempre si Kuya na photographer eh todo encourage din sakin. So kahit may mga friends akong ime-meet eh pinag-antay ko sila matupad lang ang pangarap kong maternity shoot. :-)
So here I wanted to share my maternity pictures..
This one is actually my fb profile pic. May stretchmarks talaga ako, pero I requested na i-edit nila to
erase the stretchmarks. Bongga ang editing diba?
Eto naman ang favorite ko. Eto ung nirequest kong ipaframe para souvenir naman namin. I love The Husband's smile here, pure joy! Print copy lang ang meron kami nyan. Medyo malabo at madumi ung background kasi ini-scan ko lang sya. Pero promise maganda naman ung printed pic namin. Nasa sala nga namin sya for display. :-) Napilitan si Husband mag-topless diba.
At meron din silang pakulo na ganito. Actually, ganito din yung mga nakikita ko when I googled for some maternity pictures. Pero dahil nga super mura lang ng photo shoot, wag na kong mag-expect ng bonggang props diba? Kaya kahit ginupit lang na bond paper yan at sinulat lang nila, kering-keri na. :-)
Here are some of the pics pa. at kung mismatch man yung kulay ng suot ko at kung basta na lang ikinabit ang pangibaba ko, keribels na for Php236.00. Atleast I have souvenirs with my first pregnancy. :-)
Here's the last picture. I think it captured that pure happiness feeling. :-)
I am completely satisfied with the pictures and I've got these all for only Php542.00. 1 package for Php236.00, this consists of 3 pics na 1-5R and 2-3R. Pina-frame namin yung 5R pic so that's an additional Php70.00. Then we chose 4 more pics pa, soft copies only, Php59.00 each.
So there, one more wish granted. It's not that super ganda, pero I love it. :-)
