Pregnancy Woes

It somehow hasn't really sunk in that I'm pregnant. Except for the really bad bout of nausea and vomitting, I still feel the same.

Leo has been very supportive over the whole thing, especially last night. I texted him that I threw up 4 times already and felt really horrible. He left work early to buy me Gatorade and finished working here at home while watching over me.

I was touched when I woke up and saw a packet of low salt high fibre crackers on my bedside table with instructions to eat them before I got out of bed. My husband is so thoughtful.

My goal now is to survive the first trimester. Please pray that we'll have a really healthy baby. I can't wait for my ultrasound and see that little dot (according to my OB. A dot is what we'll see on my first ultrasound) and hear the heartbeat. Maybe then it will really sink in that a little life is growing inside me.

if it's any consolation, it'll be over in 9 months ;)

Keep all our fingers crossed. Leo is going to be such a good Dad as he's turning out to be a fabulous husband (no surprises there). The morning/evening sickness will stop after your first trimester then it's just a matter of wearing tents for clothes hahahaha! Think positive now.

It would be nice to know how Leo reacted when he realized he was going to be a father? :-)

hay naku. NR. i showed him the pregnancy test tapos sabi niya, "ok". hindi ko alam kung alam na niya instinctively or hindi pa rin siya naniniwala. hehe.

Be extra careful. Eat healthy not only for your sake but also for the health of the baby inside you. I know that your job is stressful. If you can find a way to lessen your stress, that will be good for the life growing within you. Prepare your body for the demands of motherhood. Congratulations to you both for bringing us another grandchild.

hahaha! Jeff and Leo reacted the same way. hahahaha! i don't know what's on their mind. maybe they're just excited and they can't express it to us. hahahaha!

Shine, I'd like to share you this site which I always read every week. It is amazing how a poppy seed turn into a pumpkin. (mine is like 4 navel oranges already, on thursday she will be like a large singkamas) http://www.babycenter.com/slideshow-baby-size. On this site, you will also read informations regarding your pregnancy which is very very helpful in understanding your baby and your health condition.

You may find yourself developing a bit of a split personality — feeling sad one day and joyful the next. Unsettling as this is, what you're going through is normal. Ricocheting emotions are caused partly by fluctuating hormones. But hormones aside, your life is about to change in a big way — and who wouldn't feel emotional about that? I promise you...I feel you'll survive 1st trimester just like I did :)

I remember like jumping with joy when your mom announced na pregnant siya sa inyo ni Shine. E kasi naman it was like more than 2 years na after we've gotten married wala pa kaming baby.Katakot takot na ang inaabot kung kantyaw sa mga kaibigan ko. Baka daw hindi ako marunung. lols

...and maybe added factor pa na kambal kami :)
I'd wanted to have twin babies but God gave me only one for now.
Maybe next time :)
Shine, meron ka pang chance....hehehehe! malay mo twins yan. That would be great, isnt?

Congratulations, Ate Sunshine. :) I pray that you have a healthy baby. :)

Rene David said...

e syempre nung nalaman pa na kambal kayo... sabi ng mga friends ko... haneps matinik pala naman:-)) Sus mahirap sigurong magkaroon ng kabal sa tyan nyo. Ask your mom about it? I know she had a hard time. Halos hindi na makatulog kasi hindi na siya makahiga ng diretso. Ang lilikot nyo kasi sa loob ng tyan nya. she was sleeping sitting down. Ganyan nagtiis ang mom nyo.

Congratulations! So will you still be coming later this year? Take care of yourself and the precious gift inside you. Also can you update our email addresses...vivianabalos@gmail.com for me and jim.abalos@verizon.net for tito jim.

Hi Tita Vivian, no. We're no longer pushing through with our trip later this year. By that, I'll be on my 2nd trimester pushing for my third. I don't want to travel pregnant and I doubt the airlines will accept me. We'll see next year.
