Week 13

The end of my first trimester! Thus, the end of all the pregnancy blues. 


My 13th week is just like the 12th week. Only, I starve for food but I can't stand being full. And, as my baby bump grows, my scoliosis hurts. My back is suffering from all the pain but I do all my best to support my back and my child. 


However, I had the heart melting and breathtaking ultrasound this week. I was really happy seeing my baby move and I hear angels in my ears when the doctor told me, "Your baby is normal." 


I could not stress more about me. I am just as happy!

Our precious gem. Our little one. The little creature that melted my and his father's heart. :)

11 weeks baby- FOR HUBBY

Because I wasn't able to get the ultrasound pics on my last ultrasound, I googled the exact view of the baby based on the ultrasound I saw. 


It was on the 11th week that I saw my baby. Here is the exact picture of our baby. But it was not MY ultrasound. Only got this from the internet.  

This is really a replica of what I saw in my own ultraound. Only, our baby is moving and his hands are up. 

Dad, this is what our baby looks like during the ultrasound. Only, he's moving. And I can see the heart that beats faster! :) 


We love you daddy! 

Week 11 and 12

It's been quite a while that I hadn't updated my 'pregnancy week by week diary'. I have been pre occupied with a lot of things-- bonding with siblings, sleeping, chatting with hubby in Skype, and what-nots. 


Anyhow, I found the best time to write. The weather in Negros Occidental, Victorias to be specific, is not good so I took time to write since I'm done with my food and my little one is still not sleepy. Maybe this little one is still full. Or is in-love with the relaxing chill out music that I'm listening to right now. 


So, let's start with Week 11. Another chapter in My Greatest Journey. This week, is a very normal week for me. Although I get headaches sometimes and I feel dizzy at times, I could say this is much better than the previous weeks. Eating is my passion. I regain my appetite and is more active than the usual. I wake up early to walk at least 10 minutes or less in the lawn and I expose myself in the morning sunlight. It feels good to do that even if I only do it every other day. I also had my second ultrasound! But I have nothing to post because the doctor did not give me any ultrasound pics at all. I felt really sad about that. 
Let's talk about the ultrasound. It was very exciting! I was able to see a clear view of the little angel that's growing inside my womb, the angel that's draining all of my energy yet giving me genuine happiness and takes our breath away. He is a big baby! A total charm. The hands and feet are moving during the ultrasound session. He just can't stop moving. And the heart beat is faster. I almost cried at the sight of my little bundle of joy. He is just as charming as expected. And needless to say, he takes his mum's breath away. I hope his dad gets to see him at that age but dad has to work for his future. But dad was happy to hear that his baby is a-okay!


Week 12.  Yay! I'm officially three months! And I'm about to end my first trimester. My greates hobby? Eating and Sleeping. I felt like I am always lulled to sleep, anytime of the day. And guess what, I ate fish already! But chicken still sucks for me. I turned 25 this week and my baby bump is showing. Well, maybe because everyone is so excited for the baby and my parents are so supportive of my pregnancy. My mum sees to it that I eat well and she buys everything that I am craving for. My dad, a proud granny to be, makes sure that I don't miss my vitamins. He even knows what vitamins to take! I was so surprised! 
I can't say much about my 12th week because it's just the same as the 11th week. I just don't realize but my sister wakes me up to eat without me knowing that I'm asleep for so long. 


And of course, baby and I misses our head of the family. The other person who is constantly reminding me to take good care of his child. And I, is taking all the care in this world for this baby to be born healthy and smart!

See you in my next journey! :)

Week 10

My favorite week in My Greatest Journey!


Two weeks more and I end my first trimester. I am very much relaxed and comfortable this week. I can eat well, sleep well and I don't feel anything about throwing up anymore. *Except that I still don't like chicken and egg.*


On the other hand, my baby bump is showing up already. Not that I eat a lot, but maybe because everyone in the family (both sides) are very eager and excited to have this little one as much as hubby and I are. 


One of the very reasons why I made this blog is because after giving birth, I want to see how I was, my changes, my excitement, my happiness and joy (as well as hubby's), what I have gone through and the monthy/ weekly progress of my tummy and my baby of course. The little creature might read this one day and I want him/ her to know that everyone is happy and everyone is waiting for him/ her.


Here are some of the Random moments when I noticed, it's getting bigger. And my baby is showing up like no other! 

My baby bump at 10 weeks and 2 days!

Let's see how big it will become in the weeks to come. 

Week 9

Another week for My Greatest Journey!


This is the better week for me. No morning sickness and nausea anymore! I can eat a lot more better, little by little but the food can digest in my tummy already. My baby is cooperating very well with me. 


One thing I noticed that changed, though, is my sleeping habit. I find it very hard to sleep during the day but okay at night. However, I find it really fine than throwing up and not eating anything. 


This time, I noticed, hubby is getting into my nerves. He pisses me off all the time. I wanted him to be there for me all the time. I'm becoming more sensitive and I wanted to hug and kiss him all the time. Maybe our little one will look like him. Maybe. 


Am spending my few days of this week in my hometown. Hubby had to leave for Scotland for work and I had to go home to be well taken care of by my family. I felt sad but I know that he's just there preparing for our future. And he never fails to communicate, though.


It's almost halfway through my first trimester. I am getting more excited as the weeks pass by. I take each week at a time. No rush. For soon a beautiful and healthy baby will take our breaths away!
