Seeing My Babies Grow

Nothing is more fulfilling in this world than becoming a mother. It is my dream when I was growing up and I still can't believe I now have two fast growing adorable girls. Seeing my babies grow is special. I witnessed their milestones from day one they were conceived in my womb until they were born and the first one started schooling. I asked the Lord for a healthy baby girl and so He gave it to me. I named her Jadyn meaning, "God has heard". I had a pretty smooth pregnancy, both me and my baby were healthy. I stayed home throughout my pregnancy and it felt magical to see her grow and watch every baby development she made. 

All in all, my dream has come true when she was born and then four years later, we welcomed another gorgeous girl in the family named Megan. Right now I can honestly say I am happy, fulfilled as a woman, married and living the American dream. I feel blessed more than ever! I followed my two pregnancies closely and see the babies grow in my tummy through a virtual presentation of the fetus in pregnancy website above. I really like this site because it has a lot of information regarding children, pregnancy, preconception and a whole lot more.

I'm All Ready...

I believe I am all ready for the newest addition to our family to come. All my bags are packed long time ago. All I got to do then is grab them when I start to feel the pain and go to the hospital. I only bring few clothes this time and more baby stuff like diapers, wipes, mittens, some newborn clothes, digital camera, cellphone and most of all my laptop so I can post pictures of Megan right after birth. Thanks to my ever durable and helpful laptop bag who have served with me for years, it is always there ready to carry my laptop wherever I want to bring it.

I really feel that this baby of mine can't wait until the schedule of induction and that will be three weeks from now. I have been having Braxton Hicks contraction lately, a slight spotting and yellowish discharges. Could it be that it's almost time for her to come out? I am 37 weeks this week, do you think it's still early or hmmmmm. I do wish though that she'll decide to come out early or even next week will be fine as she reach her full term and I don't have to worry about her being left in the hospital.

Doctor Appointment Later

Another OBGYN appointment again today. This time it is going to be every two weeks until my delivery. While it's good to see my doctor that often but it can be a bit of hassle for me. I just feel lazy going to that same office anymore where a supposed to be 30-minute appointment could turn into a painful 1 and a half hours of waiting. I am not complaining though, I'm just saying. I don't hold the doctor's activities in the office so I must wait, I'm the one who need her.

On the other hand, it makes me excited hearing my baby's heartbeat or seeing her in the sonogram.. just as excited as it was my first baby. Aside from that, I'd like to know how the baby is doing inside, how big she is now and if she is growing an even more chunkier cheeks lolz. Ah just loving being pregnant here. It only happens twice in my life as I am decided that we are done with having kids after the second baby.

OB GYN Appointment Again

Arggss OB-GYN appoint again in three hours. I am getting tired going to my doctor's office where a supposedly 30-minute appointment can turn into an hour or more. The most dreaded part of being there is waiting for the doctor for long painstaking minutes and would only talk to her in five minutes. It's okay to wait if I don't get hungry while waiting but hmpppppp.. what else can I do? I need to see her anyway.

Last weekend I fell down while doing my walking in the neighborhood. I split my legs wide that it hurts both my groins. I hope the baby inside is okay for I feel no pain except in my groins that went away after days from the incident. I could have a miscarriage you know if it was my butt that hit first on the concrete. God forbid, I prayed and wanted this baby... I don't want anything bad to happen to her and myself of course....

Grasping For Air

Doing simple chores nowadays is getting harder for me. Every single move I make takes a lot of my energy. The longer I finish my chores the more I find myself grasping for air, really like I just climbed a mountain afterwards.

I've done something worthwhile today, I just finished vacuuming the whole carpeted area that covers the study, Jadyn's bedroom, the long hallway, two closet/sink floors and the master bedroom. I didn't take a rest while doing it because I know what's gonna happen if I did, my job would not be done. Once I started sitting down I couldn't get my ass up and get back to work. Now I am sweating, trying to take some rest by sitting on the computer...

No Heartburn, Pain There Is

I am glad I don't suffer heartburn too often in my second pregnancy. Unlike my first one, frequent heartburn at anytime of the day especially at bedtime is what I had to endure the whole 9 months I was carrying with my now 3-year old girl. Yeah right, not much heartburn this time but there is this growing pain in my groin that connects to my lower abdomen every time I do sudden movement. This is so new to me, I didn't have this before and it sucks.

At this moment, I am feeling two different kinds of pain. One that is in my left calf. I pulled my muscle last night trying to stretch my legs, until now it still hurting when I walk. Then the constant pain I have which according to my doctor it is normal for a pregnant woman to feel this way. It's the ligament that is extending its size or whatever. She said it won't go away until I deliver the baby so that means I still have 2 freaking months to suffer! Geez!

I Should Be Exercising

It's such a beautiful day in Texas today. It's been like this since yesterday after two days of being so cold, gloomy, rainy and lots of thunderstorms and lightning. It is only 70 degrees outside, perfect for walking. I need to do my exercise but how can I if I sat my ass on the computer for 6 hours now? I shouldn't let it happen. I know it's my fault, no one's to be blame for this but me.

It is getting late either. My Jadyn hasn't taken a nap, my husband is probably is on his way home yet I've not done any of my chores except did a quick cleaning in the kitchen. I feel useless and lazy. My lower back is hurting, belly feels tight and I feel like my bottom is carrying all the weight right now and it hurts. I really should be exercising, if I let this beautiful day pass by and not walking even at least a block away I would be guilty and pissed at myself!

Baby Shower, Probably Not

As I dug through Jadyn's old and outgrown stuff, I realized I still have most of her things. All those pink girly stuff are still folded in clean drawers like new. Since I am having another girl, I am debating myself whether to have a baby shower or not. At the end of the day after long hours of thinking about it, I came up with the solution to not have a baby shower since I still got everything that a newborn needs. I don't see the need for it at all.

We just need to buy few of those receiving blankets, newborn onesies, sensitive skin newborn diapers and wipes and that is all it. Those are the things we can very well take care of since they are only minor things and easy to get. I know that my friends would like to throw me a baby shower party but I don't think it's necessary.

It's Positive!!

I tested my first pee this morning and it turned out to be POSITIVE! That means I AM PREGNANT now! I am still not convinced with it, I need a doctor's confirmation for this one before I could totally say I am having ANOTHER BUNDLE OF JOY inside my womb. For now, I feel like pregnant. I craved for sour fruits like tamarind and iba dip in salt.

Five months I've waited for this to come. I am blessed! We are so blessed to be given a second baby! I hope I will have an easy pregnancy just like with my Jadyn before. All I had was heartburn every night. I would also hope the same this time, I want no vomiting at all for I know how difficult that is to endure. THANK YOU LORD, YOU ARE SO GOOD!

........ the instructions say if it has two lines it means POSITIVE!!

His Heart Stops

I didn't know that my husband has his little anxiety inside. He deals with criminals and different emergency cases of his kind of job,alright? And panicking is not in his vocabulary for he is used to it. Who would have thought that when it comes to his wife,he's so concern that something might wrong with her when or not feeling ok that makes his heart stops?

He told me once that each time I make noises,his heart stops. Certainly,he is nervous too. I make strange sounds when I move and felt the pains or discomforts of my pregnancy and he hears that. Making a big sigh or making a sour facial expression are my way of expressing my feelings.

False Labor

Let me do an update here real quick because I am too hungry now! It is 11:38 am and have not taken my first meal of the day yet. I experienced the false labor at 4 a.m this morning,the thing they call Braxton Hicks contraction,it was kind of hurting but I looked at the time and it just disappeared in few seconds and come back minutes later so I am sure it was just a false labor. I can best describe the pain as if there is a bad air running inside my belly at the same time feeling like having a muscle cramp the pain that you experience during your period.

I think I'll be able to tell when it is false or real labor for I have read a small pamphlet the differences between the two. I was just listening to my body to see if the pain would not disappear but until the sun appears it never came back.

This is all for now guys! Good day to all of you!

Oh Gosh OB Visit Again???

I almost forgot that it's gonna be my OB visit tomorrow at 11:15 am.It's been a while since I have not seen my doctor due to the fact that she's mistreating her patients by keeping them wait for 1 or 2 hours in a small waiting room. You know that it really pissed us of because our supposed to be 30-minute appointment will turn to 2 hours before we could see her. What the heck is wrong with this doctor?

I really am not in favor going there anymore,if only not because I'm concern of my baby's general condition,I would not go there only to give them my husband's money.As expected,it's gonna be another long wait tomorrow and am pretty certain of that. It's like 2 or 3 weeks had passed since I've been to her clinic where I am supposed to be meeting her 2 times a week now that my due is drawing near.

"Ah kamo lang adto bahala pud,paantoson ko dugay kinsa siya..doktor lang siya nga binayran hehehehe"..Each time I chat with Ritchella she plead me to see my doctor because I need her check-ups..hmmmppp you just don't understand how I feel guys,waiting and waiting..a never ending wait for my doctor..

Irresponsible Buntis

I didn't know time has passed by over me until I noticed that my baby inside kicking me from here to there especially to my right ribs. I wonder what was wrong with her though she usually kicks me alot or moves alot as if she's a having a disco inside. I was doing some opps from other blogging sites,watching tv and chatting at the same time when I completely forgotten about my meal.

It was already past one o'clock when I happen to glance at the clock and I was shocked knowing that I skip my meal just because I was so busy doing my thing. I had my snack at 11 yes,but I shouldn't waited for another 2 hours before eating something. Poor is this little life in my belly,totally forgotten feeding her.I didn't mean to.

I could say I am being so irresponsible here,she is not born yet,how much more when my baby is already here...???? Promise to really keep watch of activities,my baby should be on top of the list.

Preggy Bee

Soon baby!! We will be hugging each other,soon baby! This bumble bee is just smiling for it was such a beautiful day of 51 degrees F and Mr.Sunshine giving us ample heat for today. Proudly showing my 37 weeks belly in these shots here before going to shop for food.

Nothing is more exciting to me than waiting for the right time of my little angel's arrival to our our home. Counting the days now and I can't avoid not to be anxious. Who doesn't? First born ata ito!!! It's gonna be a big adjustment for both of us having a little girl around here that is for sure. Not to mention,my husband's change of work schedule too,so it's going to be pretty tough for us.
