BABY STUFF

Before anything else, I just want to share with you guys that I accidentally told my husband our baby's gender!  Honestly, it just slipped my tongue when I was showing him the 3D photo of my friend's baby.  :D

On topic, we started buying stuff for our baby girl last weekend (btw, I bought some on my 6th month, yet they're not included in the photo). ☺  All I have in mind is to buy the basic necessities for our baby like sleeveless, short sleeves and long sleeves tie sides, shorts, pajamas, booties and mittens.  We even bought her going home outfit (I'm really excited to see her wearing it, which matches her swaddle blanket). ☺

Checking out on cribs, I was told by my sister not to buy expensive crib since it can only be used until 2 years of age.  We looked for a crib which is less than 10k only and I still cannot decide which one to buy since I don't have an idea what to consider on buying it. 

Sharing you the things we've bought last Sunday. ☺  My husband wants the crib photo attached here.

Talking to our little one

Talking to our LO is being my addiction lately.  Everytime I wake up, about to take a shower, going home and at home I see to it that I talk to her/him.  I love the feeling that she/he responds by kicking. ☺I know baby, someday, you got to read this and you'll definitely feel you're loved by mommy even she hasn't seen you yet.

I cannot wait for November, hold you in my arms, kiss you from time to time and hug you.  Daddy and I are preparing your stuff and very excited!  Let's help each other when the right time comes, baby.  We can do this Eggnog!  I love you very much! ☺

Hungry tummy at this hour!

Ok, it's past midnight and I woke up with a hungry tummy.  Not to mention, woke up with hubby's voice coming from downstairs and can't remember what he was singing.  Since he is celebrating his birthday with friends, I just let them sing their hearts out.

Starving am I, call him and ask to bring something to eat. Gladly, there's still spaghetti! 😄 He is kinda wondering why I feel hungry at this hour as he believes I'm sleeping already.  I think as the pregnancy progresses, baby is getting bigger and hungrier, I guess? 😜

By the way, he loves my birthday gift...my previous post! Hihihi

Happy Birthday, Daddy!

Today marks my daddy's 32nd and he keeps on singing Taylor Swift's 22!

"I don't know about you.  But I'm feeling 32 (changing 22 to 32, oh at least he's claiming his real age!)  Everything will be alright.  If you keep me next to you."

To you my Daddy Eggnog, Mommy knows you understand why she doesn't have something material for you on your very special day, but then, let me give you something that will keep you smile today:

We're on 3rd trimester!

Thank you Lord and we are on our last trimester! We just turned 28 weeks last Saturday and guess what?  We've seen our Baby Eggnog in our 4D ultrasound.  I wanna cry while looking at him/her at the monitor.  I know the gender already, however since hubby doesn't want to know, I just support him by not telling him.  LOL 

By the way, let me share with you our experience at World Of My Baby.  The service was superb!   Staff and sonologist were very accommodating.  Though it's kinda out of way, because they are located in Ortigas (and we're from Makati/Bulacan), specifically at The Podium, but everything was worth it.  Let me share you one of our Baby Eggnog's photos. ☻

Isn't he/she the cutest?  Everybody in the house can't get enough of this cute photo!  Baby got the cheeks and nose from daddy!

4-5 months preggy experience

We had our check-up last July 3, 2014 and also had CAS (Congenital Anomaly Scan) on that day.  I was happy seeing our little one on the monitor but disappointed on the other hand.  Disappointed because the OB-Sonologist was not even telling what he had seen, he didn't even talk while performing the procedure.  What made me nervous was when he focused on our baby's heart for a while.  I was scared that there was a problem.  Gladly after seeing the result of the CAS, there was nothing written in the remarks that I should worry about.

Baby was in breech position when we had our ultrasound that's why we were not able to know the gender.  For me, as long as our baby is normal and healthy, I cannot ask for more. ☺

By the way, the night of the same day, I felt his/her very first kicks. This was the most wonderful feeling in the world!  I swear!  Now that our baby kicks or moves often, I can't help but smile everytime I feel it. 

Covering the 3 months absence

Oh hello there!  Yes I know, I've been inactive for about 3 months or so? 

Just to cover those 3 months, let me share to you what happened on my pregnancy while I was away.  Everything was going smoothly not until I got so stressed at work.  I had spotting on my 8th week though it only occurred once *Thank God*.  I was advised by my OB to bed rest for a week, take Isoxilan and try to relax.  Thank you to my dear husband who took care of me.

During my bed rest, that was the time I hated the most because I can't left my work behind.  I mean, how can you relax if you know that you have pending work in the office?  Sadly to say, yes I had to work at home because I need to help my staff.  This was also when I experienced vomiting because of pregnancy.  This lasted for 2 weeks - 1 month I guess.

As mentioned on my previous post, I need to undergo lab tests.  Done with the tests and was diagnosed with GDM (Gestational Diabetes Mellitus), diabetes that occurs during pregnancy.  I was actually expecting it because it runs in our blood.  I have to check my sugar level everyday and make sure that before breakfast, my sugar level is not over 90 and not over 140 every meal (breakfast, lunch and dinner).
