36weeks





"Only few more days baby and I will see you and hug you so tight. I will embrace you and keep you warm all the time with my care and love. Iloveyou my baby - Mama"

October 31,2013, our 36weeks4days check up. My ob gave my husband this photos for free but I just post this one because others also looks the same. He was kinda drinking or playing his mouth during the scan. He has a pointed nose as you can see, ok he got that from his dad, whatelse can i say haha.

As of my previous scan my placenta is way to grade 2-3, sk my ob said it could not be probably hit the Nov 8 although I wanted 11-12-13, but hubby wanted the 11-08-2013 so we decided to move it forward on my really planned date haha.

OB already gave me a admission slip. November 11, i will be admit around 8pm and Nov 12, 8am will be my CSection schedule. Oohh, so near yet so far. Getting ready for everything. I will be posting mg hospital bags soon as i got the time and feel relax. As you all know its kinda hard to move right for having this big tummy but its ok for I know he is our baby :)

Dear Lord,
I want to thank you deeply from my heart and soul. For taking good care of us and making my baby safe everyday. 3 more days and we consider full term. Lord i don't know how to thank you so much for giving this chance to fulfill my dream to be a mom and make my own way to show how to be a great one. iloveyou Lord and please continue to guide and protect us.
Amen

October 26, 2013 - Church Blessings Ceremony

Our Civil Wedding 2005

 

We been together for 9th years. This year we decided to received blessings of our marriage in the church. We wanted Our Lord to be our center and guide on our marriage life. I remember the priest who conduct the ceremony in our wedding said, "I'm glad that even you already married in civil for how many years, you decided to have the church wedding still, I know God will bless you but only few, but now that you were bless in Gods Home with Gods Blessings you blessings will be over flowing and more, mark my word."  then I claim it, because we ware having our dear son soon with our arms together , to have a complete family. I thank God since then for giving us over flowing blessings and grace. I will continue to have a strong faith and believe that God is always the most powerful and always good to everyone of us. 
  

It's so funny that we didn't expect that belo and cord ( i don't know if i said it right haha)  are still needed om a simple ceremony of a wedding like this. haha. My mom and our ninang's went inside the office for they are member of the church called MBG and they looked for some string and fabric they can used as it is. haha. The ceremony is simple yet its full of joy even the start of the day is not that Good. But God change it everything to make it as perfect.

with Tatay, Father Monching, Nanay and my youngest niece who's grew up with us and they said she is our Panganay haha :)

We are been blessed since then even how many struggle or happiness that come along our way. I'm so thankful to God that we are still fighting to be strong and to be together as a couple and now we will be soon a family.  

My Family


Dear Lord,
Lord, Thank you for making this day possible. Thank you for making our day turn to blossom from gray. Lord., please forgive me for all the sins or wrong that I have done in the the fast and in the future. Lord, Thank you for all the blessings you have given me and my family. Thank you for always protecting my baby everyday, Thank You for everything my Lord.
Amen

Cephalic Positon

October 24, 2013, Our recent check up.

9th Year Anniversary

October 23,2013, It's our 9th year Anniversary. Actually, we still follow the date we first became officially on. We had our civil wedding Last May 28,2015 but we still follow the first dates we been together. It's been 9th years and we already had so many memories together. From pains, happiness struggles and even worse than ever when we lose our first baby. Still, I can't be denied that we had some arguments or misunderstanding that is not simple but we almost decided to separate ways. But thank God, he still guides us to be strong and be faithful to each other in spite of so many problems and hurts we experienced together. 

We or I can still say that we still have a difference from each other. But as years go on, we manage to accept who we are or learn to change something to be good for our relationship. After all, love is acceptance and understanding. But we are not perfect, every people has own attitude even if its bad or good. When you were married you have to accept and or should I say learn to accept what are the negatives that our partners have. We cannot change them because we want to, but they can change themselves if they want for the sake of their love for their partners. 

I called my husband "KUYA" haha, and he called "NE" , the story behind that was when she was still courting me and she is 7 years older than me, I told him" I should call you Kuya because you were older than me, then he smiled, then he said ok then I will call you "Ne" like Nene because you are younger than me hahaha.. So people who heard us calling each other like that always make confused that why we look husband and wife but I'm calling him KUYA. Even my nieces ask their mom If my uncle mike is my Brother because I called him Kuya hahaha..

Most of my first of town/country trips and vacation is with my husband. That's why I treasured all the memories we been together since then. :) here are some of it.

Dear Lord,
Lord thank you for guiding our relationship.I know we have some differences that we most of the time we started that issue. But every troubles or misunderstanding, you always there for us. You always letting us realize what is wrong and right. Thank you for always be the center of our relationship. Please Lord always protect us and guide us for more years to come for both of us.Thank you Lord. I love You.
Amen

 When I gave birth to Mackenzie before, and when we thought he is doing well already, while waiting him to feed, nurses and doctors ask me to pump some milk so whenever baby Mackenzie before will be ready to eat its already prepared. But after I bought 2 types of breastpump manual at that time which is very cheap ended up a mess, its not a good  product at all , so I decided to invest few bucks on breastpump, I saw some Avent breastpump buts whoooww, it's too expensive from Php2,900.00manual  to Php9,500.00 electric, I wanted the manual only so, I'm thinking if Tommee Tippee has it as well, So I search in online and its way expensive as well like around  Php3,500.00 manual I think, So I decided to ask a favor for my Sister In law if she can check it online there and I will just pay her though, coz she bought some Tommee Tippee Bottle for baby as well a few weeks ago which lower price that here. Then Finally knew that Tommee Tippee is from UK so we she saw some shopping online sites in Australia selling Tommee Tippee and its FREE Shipping in Australia even the product will be coming from the US wow, so when I checked the sites, what elses can I bought here aside from Breast pump, So I got the Tommee Tippee Breast milk Protective Bottle lids and Tomme Tippee Pure Soothers Pacifiers, wow so happy and we bought it all in sale, and its way cheaper here and some products of Tomme Tippee is not available here as well.

Smile at 34weeks


Update: Day 238 / 34weeks 1 day
Waiting: 3 weeks 6 days to complete 38weeks

Sunday, Exactly reaching 34weeks with my bundle of joy inside. So happy and so excited. Although I'm having a hard for this pregnancy. Still happiness will never be lose in my eyes and in my heart. He is my or should I say he is our fulfillment of our marriage and happiness. Having Our little child , a bundle of our joy. I cannot exchange of anything even how hard it is for me every single steps I make, even how many sacrifices  or struggle just to make our baby boy healthy and strong I will do everything,


As I reach 34weeks, getting hard for my tummy is getting heavy and bigger, of course baby is getting so healthy inside. Even how much I wanted to go to the mall to buy some staff for him, I still don"t know if I can still make it. for after few steps I wanted to meet some chair to sit on for feeling tired and heavy right away, So how can I do some shopping if I will be like that haha.. I don:t know still thinking.. still locking for few staff for our dearest Unico Ijo.


We attended a Sunday mass instead of our usual Saturday mass due to heavy rains yesterday. After mass we ended up in our favorite breakfast treat at PANCAKE HOUSE. I catch up some few bites in my spaghetti with Clubhouse with Soup and for hubby (not in the picture) got Boneless Bangus with rice and egg. Lovely breakfast for sure baby loved it too for he was so likot and kicking a lot. haha.  



After breakfast, we decided to visit Grocery Cherry Fooderama to buy some  staff that locking in our room then suddenly I remember hubby already need to wash baby's clothes already so we decided to look for Baby detergent soap and we ended up getting Perwoll, they said its nice and smell goods and really good for baby's skin. We don't like to use our usual detergent soap for our clothes for we all know new born baby is very sensitive so don't forget no no to Fabric Conditioner as well. Perwoll kindly expensive but I think its worth it just for our baby's care.


Dear Lord,
Thank you for we already reach now the 34weeks today all because of your guidance and care with protection. Thank you for making us safe everyday Lord. I know you will never be tired for all the prayers and same prayers that I always asking for you every day and every now and then for all of this is for the safety of our little joy, Thank you for so much blessings my Lord. 
Amen

His and Her @ Day 235



What's up with Day 235?
From Baby Bump Apps:
Tips: After meals you may notice a burning sensation in your chest. The is most likely heartburn, and can range in severity from candle flame to bonfire. it's common for heartburn to flare up during pregnancy, thanks to hormones slowing down yout digestion and causing acid to escape back into rhe esophagus. although your treatment options are limited, there are things you can di to preveng it. Avoid spicy foods, carbonated dinks,or any other foods or beverages that may cause foods, gastrointestinal problems. Consume sever small meals throughout the day, and take time to chew your food. Chew gum after meals,as this stimulates the production of saliva and neutralizes stomach acid.

***This apps really help me alot for some changes that still occur even we are in our last trimester. It's been a big help from day 1. Yes this apps is right? I've experience the heartburn or acid reflux when we reach 5th month to 6th month and its really worst. I was able to eat right so instead of gaining weight i started to lose weight at that time which OB said its ok because maybe when we reach the 7-8months I probably gain more. Which is true! But yes its also true that just recent days I'm into heartburn again, even without eating some foods or drinking beverages that strike my heartburn still experiencing my enemy. Oh my i hope it will pass through. Chewing a gum is really a big help in any how, but soon taste gone you need to chew another for te heartburn sensation will be back :)

Day 235, I always prepare our  His and her breakfast everyday and hubby is the one who will fix and clean the dishes aftetwards. Today i saw some hashbrown that mom bought the other day , I ask permission if I can hve two slice on it haha. Me and my hubby and my brothers family are living with our parents, sharing expenses and bills, lunch dinner usually mom cooks for us, but for breakfast most of the time we have our own, all families ate doing grocery seperately thats why we have our fridge in our room and food stocks =') .

Today's His and Her breakfast looks so yummy, fried eggs, pandesal, hashbrown, hotdogs, my lowfat milk and his coffee. I even post it in my IG and FB and people commente like "ang sarap!" Simple yet delicous haha. Thank you friends!!

Dear Lord,
Today is another wonderful day indeed. We are bless to all the gifts you are giving me everyday. Some are unexpected, some are prayed thank you so much Lord for keeping us safe and protected.
Amen

Baby: 33 weeks 4 days
Baby Size: 17in pineapple
Baby Weight: 4.35lbs

Well, thats the usual weight for reaching this far but as for both of us =') i think baby is getting bigger more than last 32weeks weighing 5.4lbs hmm I think we are going to reach near 6lbs now, anway for kick and move of our baby boy we assume he is getting bigger for hard jabs I'm experiencing.


We went out early today had breakfast at Tropical Hut Munoz, then went to Cathedral of San Roque to get hubby's Baptism and Confirmatiob Certificate.For we have a plan that before I gave birth I wanted to be bless our marriage in Holy Church by priest, as you all know we only married by Civil in Manila City Hall. This coming Octobet 23,2013 is our 9th year anniversary we wanted to be bless on the same date but I think it will not possible for it's wednesday and blessing is only every Saturday in Our church.

If this will push through it will just be simple only us and mom and I don't know who will be the Godmother and Godfather, I'm just after that we will be bless in Catholic Church. Crossing Fingers =')


Dear Lord,

Thank you for all the blessings you are giving us and to our family. thank you for overflowing blesseing my Lord. Please make my baby strong healthy complete normal and God Fearing. i love you my Lord.

Day 226 - 32weeks3days

Tips: Your baby today

Your baby's position in the uterus is influenced by your own posture. Gravity has some effect on your baby, so whether you are standing or sitting, and which side you lie down on affects the way your baby's back is turned and which side he rolls onto.
You've probably had to change the way that you exercise by now due to your growing abdomen. You may well have had to replace jogging on the treadmill, for example, with going for long, brisk (or not so brisk!) walks. If you find that even walking makes your belly and pelvis sore or uncomfortable, you may find you naturally hold up your belly with your hands to try to give it some extra support and to give your pelvis and back a break. Some women say it feels as if the baby "might fall out."
You might want to invest in a pregnancy support band; made of stretchy fabric, this useful item supports the belly and can help prevent lower back pain.


Welcome October 2013 - Day 226 my dear son. Getting closer to our target date. Please be more patience and pray hard to our dear Lord my baby. I'm so happy we are getting closer to see our precious. Oh what else can I say, more getting near , more getting harder each day to move, getting up from bed, walking around the house, frequent trips to restroom.Oh, all of these are nothing to compare for every kicks and jabs that I have every second or every minute of our life together. 

Dear Lord,
Thank for your another month is here. Thank you for always protecting us every now and then. Thank you for your patience to us. Everything today is all about "pasasalamat" or thank you's for an over flowing blessings my Lord. Please always pray for our safety everyday. We love you Lord our God. 
Amen
