I'm Back!

I’m again here in the office. Was supposed to be on training this week but unfortunately, it was moved to next week and I might not be able to attend anymore. I’ll just arrange a session with the facilitator to make up for what I’ll miss coz next week, I want to give birth na! Kaya this week, back to work here in the office.

Anyway, last Saturday I visited my OB again for my regular check up. Don’t know if it’s good or bad but when she IEd me, she told me na medyo malalim pa daw so parang malayo pa si baby and closed pa yung cervix. She also asked me to walk na palagi if I want to give birth next week. Paul is due to arrive on Sat and we really hope that I’ll give birth the following week so that he can spend more time with our baby. I also had my ultrasound and the result said that my EDD is on Oct. 9 whereas before it was Oct. 4 so I asked my OB again if it’s ok. She said naman that my placenta is in Grade 3 already meaning it’s full term na din kaya pwede na talaga ko manganak. Thank God! We’re worried din kasi na baka if we push for next week, magkaron ng complications si baby kasi mamaya ayaw pa niya lumabas. So hopefully everything will turn out ok. Side kwento pa pala, kakatuwa nung sa ultrasound kasi kitang-kita genitals ni baby. Told Paul nga na super confirmed na boy nga si baby kasi nakita ko eh, hehehe! Tapos I also saw him sucking his thumb. Kakatuwa talaga! Hehe!

Yun lang! Please continue praying for me and our baby and for Paul’s safe flight on Saturday! Thanks! :)

Mid-week Update

I’ve been on leave since Monday and I dropped by the office today to check on some stuff. My officemate told me that our training which is scheduled next week was moved to end of September or first week of October which means, I don’t think I’ll be able to attend. Hayyyy!!!! I need to discuss this with my OB first so that we’ll know what to do coz if I’ll be attending the training, baka doon ako abutin! Ngii!!!

Last Saturday, I had my check up again and sabi naman OB ko normal pa din lahat, thank God. IE din niya ko and closed pa naman daw cervix. Ayaw din niya masyado idiin kasi baka mag-trigger ng opening eh ayoko pa manganak dahil sa 23 pa uwi ni Paul. Excited na kami!! Next Saturday, I’ll go there again and I’m scheduled for another ultrasound.

Ang sarap magpahinga sa bahay… ang hirap lang kasi sobrang mainit! As in sobra!!! Nagkasipon na nga ako dahil sa init eh. Pero ok din kasi nakaka-rest. Pag gusto kong magsleep, tulog lang. Naayos ko na din yung hospital bag ni baby and pati na din yung bag na gagamitin ko. Pati yung room, ok na din. Si Paul na lang tsaka si baby yung kulang! Hehe!

Now I’m here sa office kasi galing ako gateway. Dumaan na din ako to discuss my concern sa training sa boss ko tsaka para makapag internet na din. Hehe! Bad trip eh, wala pa din kami internet sa bahay! Haayy…. I went to gateway kanina kasi nag-member ako sa blow up babies and I had my picture taken today. Hehe! Maternity portrait!!! Arte! Sarap magpa-picture! Ang mahal nga lang!!! I’ll post my pic next week pag na pick-up ko na siya.

Below pala are some pics when I went out with my High School friends mga 3 weeks ago. Tagal na! hehe! Thanks Leslie for the pictures and thanks Siena for the food! Sarap!!! Till then…

Last Day!

Today is my last day here in the office. I’ll be on leave next week to rest then I’ll go to my training the following week, and the following week hopefully I’ll give birth na which means I’ll be on my maternity leave na. Yahoo!!! December na ako ulit babalik ng office!!!

Next week, I plan to fix all the baby stuff, including the hospital bags para anytime I give birth, ready na! Excited na kami ni Paul sa pagdating ni baby! We’re hoping and praying na di muna lumabas si baby at intayin ang pagdating ni Paul, kaya baby, relax lang ha. Huwag masyadong excited! Hehehe!

Anyway, I’ll try to visit this blog and keep you posted on what’s going on with me and the baby. Wala pa kasing internet connection sa bahay eh, kaya I’m not sure kung kelan ako makakapag update ulit. haayyy!!!! Please continue praying for a safe and normal delivery for me and for a healthy baby. Thanks and God bless!! Happy weekend everyone!

Thanks Mama and Daddy

My parents “box” arrived last night and they sent me these:

Dami ko na feeding bottles (they sent earlier 2 boxes of starter set, tapos Paul bought din microwavable sterilizer that has 4 9oz bottles, and then eto pa! hehe!) Tapos sa box, they also gave me clothes, shoes and liquid soap for our baby. I do hope I’ll have plenty of breast milk to feed our baby (para aside sa healthy na, economical pa!) Thanks again mama and daddy! You’re the best! Luv you!!!

Update on my Check-up

I went to Medical City again for my check up last Saturday. There was no one to accompany me so I drove to the hospital by myself. Some people say it’s not safe for me to drive anymore but others naman said it’s ok. Good thing my sister’s car is automatic so it’s easier to drive and there’s no traffic last Saturday morning kaya mabilis din lang yung byahe. I left the house at 10:30 and was home na by 12:30, bilis no!

Anyway, here’s what happened on my check-up. I’ll be on my 36th week tomorrow. So far everything’s normal (and I hope it will be until I give birth), and I have no problems naman. My OB then checked our baby’s heartbeat and measured the length (length nga ba measure niya? Hehe!) She told me na naka-position na si baby pointing to where my baby’s head is pati na din other parts ng body niya. She also told me why the left side of my tummy is bigger than my right. Mas andon kasi si baby eh and yung sometimes na malaking part eh yung butt niya and yung mga tumutusok-tusok sa right side of my tummy are his elbows. Sometimes it aches pag nag stretch si baby, parang mababali yung ribs ko tsaka yung skin ko parang mapupunit. Hehehe! But it’s an experience na sobrang indescribable. Tapos, I told my OB also na I get tired easily and hirap na maglakad coz of the baby’s weight. I also told her my fear na baka matagtag ako and give birth earlier which I’m hoping na won’t happen. As a result, she advised me to rest whole week next week (my 37th week) para I can attend my training the following week (my 38th week). That was what Paul and I agreed also kaya ok talaga yung advice ni Doc. So that’s what I’m going to do. As of today, I’m at work pa but next week I’ll be on leave then I’ll go to my training the following week. I asked my OB also if Sept. 23 is ok for Paul to come home and she told me that the date is just right. So ilang days na lang magkikita na kami ulit ng asawa ko and after a few days din, magkikita na kami ng baby namin. After the check up, I went home na agad and rested.

Yesterday, I drafted the things I need to finish before I go on leave. Para din when I ask permission from my boss, may action plan na ako. What I need to do now is meet with Jacq (my colleague) to tell her what we need to accomplish before the year ends. Because after this week, December na ko babalik sa work! Woohoo!!! :)

The Week That Was

I haven’t been blogging for the past few days. I’m quite busy with work especially now that I’m nearing my due date. Parang too many things to do and yet too little time. Pero to think na I know naman na dadating at dadating yung due date ko pero di ko ginawa yung mga dapat kong gawin. Hehehe! Tapos now, may mga additional projects to do pa, kaya ayan, sabay-sabay na at doble-doble. Haaayy!!!! I wish I can finish them all before I go on maternity leave.

I’ve been praying to God and talking to our baby na huwag muna siya lumabas. Hehehe! I still have a training on sept 18-22 and that’s my 38th week already. Whenever I talk to some people about giving birth, kinakabahan ako. Not with the act of giving birth but with the timing. Some of them gave birth on their 37th or 38th week na sana won’t happen to me. Our President approached me and my teammate and told us that we should make sure that we finish the training and the project as well. Ngii!!! If only I can tell him, “eh sir, what if I give birth?” hehehe! Tomorrow is my check up again. I’ll ask my OB how we’re doing and if it’s still possible not to give birth early. Tipong what should I do to prevent from giving birth on those weeks? Also I need to know when can Paul sched his flight to be with me when I give birth.

Anyway, magkwento na lang ako how the past few days went by. Friday night, I had dinner with my officemates at Wok Inn, Shaw Blvd. One of them resigned a month ago and last Friday lang siya nagpa-despedida. Hehehe! Ang daming food and it’s good to spend time with them again. Medyo matagal na din kasi kami di nakakaalis ng mga officemates ko. Sayang they haven’t sent the pictures yet, will post them next time.

Saturday naman, I went to Glorietta to attend the breastfeeding convention. I learned a lot from the convention and I’m glad I attended. May doctor pa na may pinakitang video nung pina-latch on niya yung new born baby sa mommy. Ang galing!!! Suzie Entrata-Abrera and Daphne OseƱa-Paez were there also to share their experiences. Kaka-inspire sila pati na din yung ibang mga nag share and I wish that I can do the same to our baby when I give birth. Sana nga, sabi naman nila determination and patience lang yan. May lootbags din silang binigay and vouchers na may mga discounts. Aliw talaga!

After that, nag mall lang ako then met with my HS friends at 6pm sa Superbowl. Puro Chinese restaurants kinainan ko lately. Hehehe! One of our friends celebrated her birthday last week and ayun treat niya kami sa Superbowl. Super saya din yung dinner naming coz we haven’t seen each other for quite sometime. Sayang lang I need to go home na agad coz I was not able to bring a car and malayo ang Makati sa Marikina. Eh mga taga-Makati yung mga yon at di nila ko mahahatid sa Marikina dahil baka maligaw sila. Hehehe! I went home na after dinner while they went pa Starbucks. Ok na din kasi don’t want to go home late eh. Ok na sa kin yung nakita ko sila and nakausap. As usual, wala na naman pics. To follow na lang ulit, hehehe!

Dito naman sa office, like what I said earlier, I’m quite busy with my work and with the new projects that I need to accomplish. Sana lang, I’ll be able to finish those before my due date. Wish me luck and pray for me and our baby. Happy weekend everyone! :)
