3rd time’s the charm!

I haven’t updated my dear blog for god knows how long… but this update is sure worth the wait!

I’m currently pregnant with baby number 3….. yup! you read that right haha… anyway i’m currently on my 20th week and we spent practically the whole afternoon going to 3 diff appointments!

The 1st one was the highlight of the day and the most anticipated since it was for an ultrasound. Then we had to go to a different office for bloodwork and stuff (the nurse took 5 vials worth of blood i thought i would faint lol!) and the last was my 20th wk appt with the OB-gyn.

And now the ultrasound story:

The sonologist asked if she could just 1st do all the measurements and stuff  before she’d show us anything on the monitor. So there I was lying on the bed staring at the ceiling while hubby was sitting quietly….. and after an eternity of waiting for the sonologist to finish, it was time for her to tell us about the baby. She 1st showed the profile, checked all body parts etc and the most important of all…. the gender of the baby!! You can tell that hubby and I were really anxious to what it was… and the sonologist was like “okay i’ll try my very best to give you the best view and to make sure i’m sure with the gender” and lo and behold there it was…. our baby’s little birdie!!! you can tell it was practically standing at attention!! lol!! Hubby stood up, went near the monitor and was like “really!!???”  like a few times! It’s a B-O-Y!! haha! the sonologist kept congratulating us and said “third time’s a charm for you guys huh” and indeed it was

I still can’t believe that I have a little boy inside me… and you know what, Ate Sofia was right again with the gender! Ang lakas ng pakiramdam talaga

Ate knows best!

After attempting to know our baby number 2’s gender on three separate uiltrasounds… it was finally revealed yesterday! And we’re having……. another princess!!! You should’ve seen Ate Iya’s reaction–priceless!! She was sooooo happy! She was right all along, that she’s gonna have a baby sister! I was just even waiting for her to blurt out “i told you so!” but all she managed to say was “see, i have a baby sister!” and she kept on giving me kisses. She stood on a stool beside me all throughout the session. There was a huge monitor in front of us but she didn’t want to sit on the sofa to watch. She was standing beside me making sure I was okay She was watching at the small monitor where the sonologist was looking. And Iya was talking non-stop! commenting..asking questions..

We were all so delighted with the experience. This was my 1st 4D. During Iya’s time only 3D was available. What a huge difference! And my parents were with me, iya and my youngest sister. The ultrasound I had yesterday wasn’t actually planned. My OB wanted it around 30wks. But we were at the mall…and I got bored and passed by the ultrasound company… and I really really wanted to know the gender and I decided to go for it! I just asked baby number 2 to please please let me know now if she’s a girl or a boy. And luckily the first time the sonologist looked, there it was…her vajayjay! lol! At first I couldn’t understand since the sonologist just said ” this are her lips” and i was like…hmm where are the other parts of her face??? and she burst out laughing and apologized because what she meant was she was pointing to the lips or labia of the vajayjay! nyahahaha!

We witnessed the little one yawn..then put her fingers inside her mouth..and she even gave us a little smile, which the sonologist was able to capture! (too bad can’t post any pic i don’t have a scanner) she was moving a lot! I can’t wait to go back on my 30th week. I’ll get the package which includes a dvd recording of the whole session. It’s really amazing! 4D is a bit expensive but really worth it! Imagine showing it to your child when she’s old enough and telling her it’s a dvd recording of her while inside mommy’s tummy!

I’m on my 7th month now… time flies! Now, we’ve to think of a name

Update

I know… haven’t blogged since forever! lol! a lot has happened since I last wrote something…

…My precious Mac is dead won’t dwell into details. Let’s just say the repair/replacement of all the parts would cost me a brand new one! I miss my laptop but i can manage. I don’t wanna spend too much on anything since we have a baby on the way.  Baby expenses come first.

…Had a pregnancy scare.. thank God everything’s okay now. I’m on my 24th week. baby’s doing good. My OB just wants me to eat,eat, eat! Not that i am not eating ofcourse! Can’t wait til the end of the month for my check up and ultrasound. Hopefully we’ll see clearly now if baby 2 is a girl or a boy

My little girl’s doing good in school. She has her favorite friends and an itsy bitsy crush on this cute boy named Hans But if you tease or ask her, Eric is still her boyfriend. (eric of little mermaid) I just noticed that in the morning if we arrive earlier than Hans, iya always looks for him. And when she sees him aba sinasalubong pa with matching very sweet “goodmorning Hans!” Even if her other boy classmates are there and i tell her to say hi to them, she won’t. She only has eyes for hans ika nga! loL!

Well i guess that’s it for now. It sucks that I can’t even upload pictures… oh well…..

Hope all of you are doing great!

A little update

Been sick since friday night… just when i thought i’ve finished the last on my to do list

Was finally able to see my OB-gyne at SLMC last friday afternoon. Everything is okay. She’s happy with my lab tests. Baby is 16 weeks and i was able to hear the heartbeat for the 1st time Too bad iya went out of the room. (‘coz she said she was so hungry! the secretary said eating isn’t allowed in the clinic) Dr. Pichay was also surprised and delighted to see that Iya’s all grown up! she hasn’t seen her since I got discharged from the hospital 4yrs ago hahaha! And my doctor said she hopes my 2nd baby will be a boy hehe

Soon after the check up we looked for some place to eat and off to jollibee we went since iya wanted “brown chicken”. Boy there’s a lot of resto’s/ fastfood to choose from now along e. rodriguez! My little girl had 1 pc chicken joy and rice. I had palabok. And she consumed half my palabok after she finished her meal! She has a big appetite esp when she likes what she’s eating! I had to get myself a tuna pie (something new.. quite good naman) dahil nabitin ako sa palabok!

And then by the time we reached home…i was sniffling already… then saturday it was a full blown cold already and my whole body ached! i wasn’t able to go with my family to hear mass sunday morning. I’ve been drinking lots of water and calamansi juice.

I feel a bit better but still a little sluggish at the same time…

lots of drafts here awaiting editing and posting…;)

hope you’re doing great wherever you might be!

Iya and the baby

Iya loves kissing my tummy and talking to the baby inside…

“hi baby!! you’re so beautiful! and so cute!”

smile fades from her face….

“mama, the baby is not answering!!!” lol!

Ofcourse she doesn’t quite understand a lot of things yet so we have to explain. She can’t wait to play with the baby It’s funny how when i think about it, Iya was the 1st one to sense i was pregnant! She kept touching my tummy early february and kept asking if she has a baby sister already. Yup, she wants a baby sister. Whenever hubby and I tell her what about a baby brother… she then will say “okay,baby sister AND baby brother!” oh boy! good thing twins don’t run in the family

Guess What…

Yup, we’re having baby number two!

We actually found out about it a few days after we got back from europe but decided not to tell anyone yet. (o, walang magtatampo) I wanted to go see an ob-gyne first kasi and make sure everything’s okay before we let family and friends know that i’m expecting.

And so yesterday we went to see Dr. de Vries. I was quite uneasy while waiting because he’s a male doctor! and we all know that back home, most obstetricians are female. My ob back home is female, but ofcourse… I know there’s nothing wrong with having a male doctor but if you’re shy like me..hehehe…Well anyway, Dr. de Vries turned out to be great! He’s old na, always smiling and takes his time explaining things. He took a sonogram and there we saw our little angel….. couldn’t make anything out of it since the fetus is still too small but we can clearly see the heart beating! Iya was so excited and kept asking the doctor to point out where the baby was! Everything looks perfect my doctor said. And the baby is exactly as big as it’s supposed to be. Hubby and I were so relieved and very happy! and without further ado here’s our baby at 8weeks:
