Yesterday marked Baby Johan’s 31st week. With this milestone are just praises and gratefulness to our God who continues to bless and protect our baby in my womb. And as I start the work week, I just have to share the Word for today <3 Luke 1:13 – ‘The angel said to him… “your prayer… Continue reading 31 Weeks
We were attending Chiqui Brosas’ Birth Classes for the whole month of Feb (I’ll post about this separately), and last Sunday was supposedly our last class. We are actually looking forward to it because the topics that session are post-partum and newborn care. I even “organized” the ordering of one of the food deliveries for… Continue reading Spotting and Worrying
Dearest Baby Johan, This morning, your Daddy is a bit emotional about something (yes, he is more ma-emo than Mommy, fyi). He came across a song, and this is a song for you, Baby. Because we know you always feel the love especially when we are praying for you. We are already looking forward to see… Continue reading Daddy’s Song: When I Pray for You
Dearest Baby Johan, This year’s Valentines Day is a lot more special than any of the ones I ever had, because: 1. This is your Daddy and Mommy’s first Valentine’s as married couple, and your Daddy is still sweet enough to bring home roses (and KFC dinner) for me; 2. And most of all, because I have… Continue reading Valentine’s Day 2017
So recently, my baby belly has been showing up and people are starting to hesitantly ask me whether I am just gaining weight (a.k.a getting fat), or it’s a baby in there =)) As I am not fond of maternity clothes (yet!), my baby belly is proudly showing in my pre-pregnancy clothes, so I’d give… Continue reading Baby’s Gestational Age
[A Christmas-y thought this season.] For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. – John 3:16 NLT For years in my entire life, I’ve prayed for countless [mostly self-gaining] prayers: salary raise, new car, fully… Continue reading Most Selfless Prayer
It is baby’s 16th week this week, and I am on my second trimester! #ThankYouJesus really for this milestone. By now, I am already relieved of morning sickness, bloated feeling, nausea, food cravings, fatigue, and sleepiness. I felt better all of the sudden. But of course, as my body goes on to the next phase… Continue reading 16 Weeks: Sweets and Teeth’s Time
I love you every moment. I pray that the blood sugar will normalize as what God wants us to live healthy life. Praise God for the well-being He gave to us. I may worry about the results of your glucometer but I trust God that He will control the increase of the blood sugar in… Continue reading Blood sugar normalized
We are celebrating a major milestone this week, which marks our second trimester! Baby Jam is estimated to be lemon-sized by now. Baby is growing fast, and sometimes I’m not sure if I’m really feeling him/her like “swimming” in my womb, or I’m just too excited about it 😉 I am just grateful for all… Continue reading 14 Weeks: Second Trimester
And so I confirmed from the past weeks that it’s true: pregnancy cravings are for real. Mine was Turon or Banana-q, bananas wrapped with sugar and fried in oil. How satisfying it is! I would bug Hubby to buy me 2pcs everyday from their office canteen. It helped me make it through the first trimester blues!… Continue reading Cravings
