Week 28

It's official! I am indeed on my 7th month. The end of the second trimester, thus, the start of life on the third trimester. 
This is the highlight of my pregnancy! This is where my baby is human and ready to conquer the world in the months to come. 


And, THIS IS IT! I'm gonna be a mum in a jiffy! Without me and the people around me knowing, my husband and I will be carrying our little angel already. And I take it one at a time. 


Anyhow, I am still coping up with my breathing difficulty as well as my sleeping blues. I am also trying to avoid stress and avoid people who are bringing stress to my life. I am trying to live a healthy and happy life as much as possible for the coming of my little girl :) 
I also began feeling contractions but glad to say that I don't feel any pain at all. I only feel a little squeeze in my tummy. Also, I'm very happy and proud of myself and my baby girl who is as strong as her mum and dad. She has been very active lately. She's never given me any problems right from the start and all throughout. Though I bled one time because of me and hubby practicing the so- called human right. I know, it was so selfish of us not to think of this little swimmer inside. Good thing, she was okay and stable. We were able to breathe deeply. 


Again, all credits goes to the dad who is very caring and supportive of me and baby. Never was a stressful moment with him. 

28wks & 6days belly

The week that was. 

And the winner is..

At week 26, my OB Gyne recommended us for a more accurate gender ultrasound. 


Mr and I have been curious as to what would the gender of our first baby be. 
I have been told from my previous ultrasounds that the gender cannot be determined accurately and clearly, but based on the baby's statistics, it could be a baby boy. 
All the while, hubby and I really thought it was a baby boy. Good thing we haven't bought baby boy's things yet. Am thankful that we only bought neutral colors for the baby. From the clothes, to the things. 


Back to the topic, we had our gender ultrasound on the 29th of August 2011, Monday at Chong Hua Hospital. Where we usually do. It was a holiday and they are serving patients half day. Good thing, we were able to rush in and was the last to be accommodated. 
Weeks before this, we have been talking to the baby to show up the next ultrasound. And so the baby did. 


Excited much to know the good news? 


It wasn't actually what hubby and I expected, hence, we are happy to know that it is the opposite of what we thought. 


YES! It is a baby girl. A healthy baby girl. 
I am delighted to know that we are going to have a little me. We are going to have a little princess. 


Excited, I spilled the good news to my family back in Negros. Happy to know that our little princess is very much welcomed, from her parents, her grannies, her aunties and uncles, her mom and dad's family and friends. And glad to know that everyone especially the family are waiting for her arrival!


See you pretty soon, little girl. Mum and Dad are much excited. And your things are all ready. 

It's a Baby Girl!! :)

Weeks 25, 26 and 27

Again, it's been forever since I last updated my blog. I have been lazy enough to think of the right words to put in. And I guess now's the time to update what's been up to me 3 weeks ago. 

Week 25 was never different from week 24. From the appetite to my emotional changes. Of course the hormones are still there-- talking. Good thing I have a patient husband. I guess, definitely, the changes are my growing baby as well as my growing belly.

Week 26. I had my pre- natal session with my OB- Gyne in Cebu, Dra. Chan. Guess what? I gained 4lbs. Our little baby's heartbeat is on a faster pace right now. I am very much overwhelmed with my baby's progress. And of course, my heart jumps up and down seeing my little bundle of joy's father happy and ready to take risks no matter what it takes to go with me on pre- natal sessions. And that is why we have a healthy growing baby inside because my husband never fails to show us that he cares.

Time flies fast, indeed. I remembered I was only on my 7th week but now, my journey continues on its 27th week! This time, my life has changed a lot.  I got leg cramps which is something that I hate because it hurts a lot. Also, my back hurts because of my scoliosis. And I am having difficulties breathing. I feel like drowning. I can't even sleep well at night, or day, because I don't know what sleeping position to do. However, despite all that, I am overwhelmed much because my baby punches and kicks harder now. And my husband just can't get over it every time he feels it. 

Oh, and lastly, my dear husband spoils me a lot with Maiz Con Hielo, as I crave for. Thank you, Mister! =)

Can you spot the difference? ;)
