[Hubby and I are both in this mood of “upload-everything-in-Smugmug-NOW” and I came across this photos.] It’s been 3 years and I can just smile remembering how aligaga I was as first time Nanay. Making sure that my breastmilk are not wasted when I am in the office, I posted these schedule in the walls… Continue reading Throwback: First Time Nanay
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
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
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
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
I know it’s still a long way to go, but spending a longer time off work to be with Baby Jam after delivery is something I really look forward to. That’s why the progress of House Bill 4113 is important to me (and to the rest of currently pregnant moms in the Philippines). Last week, House Bill… Continue reading 100 Days Maternity Leave
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
Today, we heard Baby Jam’s heartbeat! I still couldn’t believe what I was hearing, that fast galloping sound is the sweetest sound of all <3 And when I saw Hubby’s smile while hearing baby’s heartbeat, I could almost hear my own heart saying my gratitude to God for His best gift ever. Our OB noticed that baby is… Continue reading The Heartbeat
This morning, someone was eating Jollibee meal in front of my office desk. Oh the smell–I have to endure! I have to rely to my menthol stick or I have to vomit @-@ I hope baby Jam is not smelling it. I know that he/she has already sense of smell by now!
This is Baby Jam’s second picture from the follow-up ultrasound. Now we can see baby really really active. The arms and legs are moving fast like trying to swim 😀 And yes, the heartbeat is now very visible in the ultrasound screen, beating very fast. I was really amazed that there are already two hearts… Continue reading 9 Weeks: All Cleared
