Iba’t ibang updates – medyo mahaba

I’ve been out whole week last week for our black belt six sigma training kaya I haven’t updated our blog. Kaka-miss mag internet at mag blog hop. Hehehe! Anyway, here’s what I’ve been doing for the past few days.

August 11 - Glorietta

I went to makati to watch the movie click with my good friend Tristan. We had dinner first at Superbowl tapos ayun, we watched the movie na. I had fun watching the movie, it was funny and it has values. Pangpamilya siya. For those who haven’t seen it, I recommend you to watch this movie (that is kung showing pa! hehehe!)

August 12 morning – Medical City, Breastfeeding Week

I went to Medical City to attend their launching of the Breastfeeding Week. Ok naman yung launching nila. Binigay nila benefits of breastfeeding, tapos nagbigay ng testimonial si Pia Arcangel sa side ng mothers, (at ang ganda niya! Hehehe!) tsaka si Apa Ongpin naman sa side ng fathers. Tapos may mga games at free snacks. Tapos may mga iba’t-ibang booths din. I even got freebies from Johnson and Johnson, isang pack ng baby wipes, powder, panty liner tsaka body wash. Ok naman yung launching nila. Informative naman. After that, I went to my OB for my check up. Ok naman daw kami ni baby and nag sched na siya ng 2x a week check up ko. Yung next sched ko dapat August 26.

August 12 afternoon – Tita Remy’s House

The Garcia family had a small get together sa house naman nina Tita Remy to celebrate her 69th birthday (I’m not sure of her age. Hehehe!). It was great to see my relatives again. Lalo na with all the kids playing. Ang bilis ng panahon. Dati, kami yung mga naglalaro, now, mga nephews and nieces na yung naglalaro at nagtatakbuhan. Kaka-excite din coz I know soon, kasama na yung baby namin ni paul na nakikipaglaro sa kanila.

August 14-18 – Astoria Plaza

Start na ng training naming for Lopez Group Black Belt Six Sigma. Our training was held at the Astoria Plaza from 8am-5pm. Ok yung training coz I get to learn a lot from it. Medyo difficult lang for me coz we’re required to bring a laptop and of course the training material (na isang binder!) Medyo mahirap for me coz I take a shuttle to work tapos di pa sakto sa Astoria yung babaan kaya I need to walk mga 3 blocks pa. So imagine how I look, 8 months pregnant, with laptop and binder plus yung bag ko pa. Buti na lang din yung bag nung laptop eh backpack kaya medyo easier to bring pero kahit na, mabigat pa din siya! Haayyy….
First day of the training I had colds, as in grabe yung sipon ko which resulted to fever when I got home Monday night. My temperature was 38.5C. I asked Paul to call my OB to ask what medicine to drink para I get well agad and at the same time safe for baby. So ayun, I asked my brother to buy me medicines tapos I monitor na lang my temperature every hour. Ang hirap niya coz I need to get well overnight because I can’t miss the training. Thank God, Tuesday morning, back to normal na ulit. 37C na yung temperature ko. So ayun balik sa training and ok naman until matapos ko siya.

Daming ko natutunan and it’s as if we’re back in college. We discussed statistics as in yung mga normal distribution, kurtosis, skewness at kung ano ano pa. Kakaaliw pero syempre kelangan i-refresh ang memory. At the end of the week, we had an exam to check kung we learned something ba. Hopefully ok naman maging result ng exam ko. We also had a project presentation where we should apply the learning we got from the training. I presented my project and ok naman daw sabi nila. They just made some comments for improvement habang ginagawa ko yung project.

August 18 Afternoon – Medical City, Check up

After the training, I then went straight to medical city to have my check up. Supposedly, August 26 pa but because I got sick last Monday and I felt so tired during the entire week, I decided na magpa-check up ulit. Hobby ko na. hehehe! Ayun, ok pa din naman daw kami sabi nung OB. Nothing to worry daw. I asked her then kung kelan ko papauwiin si Paul and she told me to advise Paul to be here end of September. Baka i-induce na niya ako end of September so that I’ll have more time to rest before attending the training again on Oct. 23-27. She also advised me na huwag masyado magpagod coz I have a training pa din ng Sept. 18-22. I also asked her kung ok pa ko mag-jeep papasok sa work. Ok pa din daw as long as di ako makikipag agawan (which I don’t do, kahit di ako preggy). I also asked her if it’s safe pa for me to drive. Ok din daw, mas advisable pa nga kesa sa mag jeep ako. Besides, automatic naman yung car so mas madali i-drive. If ever daw, try ko na lang i-avoid yung rush hours para di ako ma-stress sa traffic at sa mga sumisingit na mga drivers. Yesterday may dala ako car pag pasok pero today nag FX ako. Hehehe! Ok naman byahe this morning!

August 21 – Shopping!!!

Hehehe! Last weekend, stayed at home lang to rest para na din mabawi ko yung pagod ko nung week ng training. Buti na din lang holiday nung 21 at na extend pa ang bakasyon. Ligpit lang ako things sa house nung weekend tapos nung August 21, shopping ulit! Yahoo!!!! Hehehe!

Sa Sta. Lucia lang kami nagpunta ng sis-in-law ko para malapit lang. Konti na lang din kasi mga kelangan ko for baby. Bought hangers, diaper clips, rubber mat, sponge, cottons, finger toothbrush, nasal aspirator, etc. Basta yung mga kulang sa checklist ko. And at last, complete na yung kelangan ni baby. Si baby na lang yung kulang. Hehehe! Well may isa na lang pala, yung organizer tray para sa mga feeding bottles para di nakakalat. Wala pa din kasi ako makita eh, out of stock pa din yung gusto kong bilihin.

Sarap talaga mag shopping. At syempre pati ako bumili din ng mga kailangan ko. Hehehe! I bought nursing bras, pajamas tsaka mga ilan pang clothes. Lumaki kasi ulit legs ko (na dati ko nang problem) kaya yung pants ko before eh di na naman magkasya. Haayyy…. Pero I’m so happy with everything I bought, as in! Pagdating naming sa house, ayun, nag list ako ng expenses tsaka nag update ng check list para mapakita ko kay Paul pag nag online siya. I also promised myself na pag suot ko yung mga bago kong damit, papa-picture ako para mapakita ko din sa asawa ko. Hehehe! At least alam niya san napupunta sweldo nya. Hahaha!

Pag usap namin ni Paul, I sent him the checklist and the corresponding prices of each tapos discuss kami kung ok na lahat. Told him kung di ba siya nagulat sa mga presyo ng mga pinamimili ko, sabi ba naman sa kin, di na daw niya tiningnan at baka mahulog siya sa upuan niya. Hahaha! Asawa ko talaga!

Whew!!! Ang haba na pala, hehehe! Till then….

Shopping

I went shopping last Sunday at SM Megamall. I was with my kuya’s family, my sister and ate rose. Ang dami namin. Hehehe! Sayang lang di kasama si Paul.

Ang saya mag shopping ng baby stuff! Yung kuya ko nagrereklamo na nang aasar (siya kasi taga bitbit namin), ang dami ko daw binili so mahal na daw yon, kawawa naman daw si Paul. Hehehe!

I got most of what I need, yung ibang kulang, either out of stock, last stock na or I forgot to include in the checklist. Nyak! Hehehe!

I took some pictures of what we bought para I can show it to Paul. Here it is:

P1030352

Comforter, pillow and bolsters

P1030349

Hooded Towels, Mittens, and Socks

Yung iba di ko na post. Hehehe! Here’s the checklist of what we have and what we need pa. Excited na ako ulit mag shopping. Hehehe!

Dream at ibpa.

I had a dream last night. I gave birth na daw to a healthy baby boy. Tapos kakatuwa kasi di daw ako nahirapan when I gave birth. Di masyado nag labor tapos nung lalabas na talaga si baby, mabilis lang talaga. Tsaka normal delivery siya. Yahoo!! Tapos sabi sa dream ko, nakita ko si baby na nilinis muna sandali then itinabi sa kin, tapos inalis ulit then I saw Paul and passed out na. hehe!

I guess yun yung wish ko when I give birth kaya ko siya napapanaginipan. Hehehe! Sana nga when the time comes na manganganak na ko, ganon nga siya kadali! Kailangan i-condition si baby. Hehehe!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I called medical city now, sabi nila ready na daw for pick up yung cd nung 3D ultrasound ni baby. Yahoo!! Sayang lang wala sila office tomorrow. Will pick it up na lang on Monday.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I also called our wedding photographer, ready na daw for pick up yung portrait namin. It’s been 14 months since we got married and wala pa kaming album. Hehehe! First final output nila yung portrait na makukuha ko tomorrow. Yung album naman, hopefully within the month. Yung video, goodluck na lang sa min kasi di pa kami nag submit ng list ng songs. Nyak! Hehehe!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Last na, tomorrow we’re going to shop for baby stuff. Hehehe! Excited na ko! Yun lang! happy weekend!!!

It's A Boy!!!

I had my 3D/4D ultrasound last Saturday at the Medical City. I decided to have one na so that I can send the pictures to Paul para naman di siya ma-sad, since di ko siya nakakasama sa mga check-ups. At the same time, para na din malaman gender ni baby. Buti na lang this time, di na siya nahiya at nagpakita na.

I was at the hospital mga 8am. When I inquired kasi sabi madami daw tao pag weekends so I should be there early, tsaka medyo matagal din yung pag ultrasound lalo na kung di ok position ng baby. So when I got there at 8am, I was 5th sa queue. Buti naman open na sila so I just need to wait lang. I was called around 9am na tapos ayun. They were asking me first if I’m with my husband para nga makita din niya, so I told them na I’m alone and that I’m doing it para nga makita ng husband ko. Ayun, buti naman ok position ni baby. Kita ko yung face niya na medyo nakadikit sa placenta at kamukha siya ng asawa ko! Hahaha! The sonologist recorded yung mga ok na angles para mas kita si baby tapos punta naman siya sa ibang parts ng body. Pagdating sa organ, at first di namin makita kasi hawak ni baby yung organ niya. They were joking nga na baby pa daw naglalaro na! hehehe! Tapos ayun, try nila galawin tummy ko so that our baby will move and change position. Nag move naman si baby hanggang makita namin kung boy nga or girl. Ayun, boy nga siya! Sabi nga ni
mel boy daw kasi ayaw magpakita, ayaw pa daw mag shopping! Hehehe! Naka indian sit siya kaya partly hidden pa din pero you can see it na. Kakaaliw. Galing talaga ng technology! So they captured ulit yung ok na views nung organ ni baby tapos printed them muna in black para I have a copy na. Then balik ulit sa face to record more pictures.

I finished around 9:45 tapos waited for the results. Ok naman daw si baby, meaning yung fetal heartbeat is ok, pati yung size niya within range sa gestational age niya. Yung ibang nakalagay sa results di ko na maintindihan, hehehe! Papa-interpret ko na lang sa OB ko sa next check up. Next time ko na lang post yung pics ni baby coz I don’t have a copy of the colored pictures yet. Mga next week ko pa makukuha yung cd. :)

After I got the results, I texted Paul agad to tell him the news and syempre happy si daddy. Lalo na nung sinabi ko na kamukha niya si baby! Hehehe! I also texted my siblings and when I got home, I showed them the black and white print-out. And they confirmed na kahawig nga daw ni Paul si baby. Tapos they also told me yung naisip nilang name ni baby. Sabi ko consult ko muna with Paul dahil si Paul naka assign mag isip ng name ni baby. Hehehe!

Since we already know our baby’s gender, this weekend I’ll buy stuff na for him! Hehe! Excited na ko! Shopping na! :D
