Kean Josue S. Angeles

 

Please to meet my very handsome,pogi, cute son. haha. forgive me for I'm so proud for a first time mom. Although Kean is our second born son, I wasn't able to be a mom to Mackenzie for what happened to him.

Now, really I could say being a mom is not really EASY. I'm warning you mommies out there, who will be the first time to nurse a newly born baby, But it paid off, every time you see your baby smile, even they haven't seen you clearly yet, when you saw them wiggle even they don't understand you, you will be the luckiest mom dad out there I bet you.

what can I share? being a first-time mom, I want to share some first time experience. worst because I gave birth via CS so moving around and doing things I want to do is kinda hard but still I'm trying to do it on my own.

  

He wants to feed most of every 1-2 hours. He sleeps a lot and at the same time, he wakes a lot as well. But as I notice, his sleeping pattern may change and vary which alarmed me for I am a first-time mom haha.  after a few days, he somehow sleeps for straight 4-5 hours and even how much you wake him up, he doesn't want to open his eyes, although when you try to wake him up he response like making faces, moving his hands and feet he moves he will never open his eyes. and of course, even he is sleep I carry him every 2hours to feed him up and he sucks while he sleeps that's what a newborn that amaze me haha. then I was kinda nervous when he was like that, so I asked my Pedia and she said that alright as long as he eats a lot, and he feeds more often or in between and I say yes, and newborn sleeps a lot to let their body grow more. as long as he is active when he is awake, he cries so loud, he eats and really a good sucker (breastfeeder mom) and he eats or drinks milk a lot and that's normal and nothing to worry about.

 

Pedia said he sleeps most of 20 hours in a day, haha and they only wakes up to feed or when they feel hungry. She said they can also stand 4hours straight sleep without feeding but I don't like to wait for that long, so I always assure that I fed him every 1.5-2hours in between. after a few days, sleeping pattern change again, he sleeps more on daytime just like when baby still in your tummy. Active hours are during the night till early morning like 4-5am. Oh, my this is a real struggle for a first time mom. a sleepless night here we come. During daytime even how much noise he can here around him he will never wakes up easily.but during night time, when I'm feeding him he sleeps but when I'm trying to put him down on his place oh my, he will wake up again, small noise he can hear it and he will be aware, that's the life of having a newborn during night to early morning time so be ready hahaha... sometimes I almost give up for I'm so sleepy already, so for the past 3days my sleeping time is 6am-8am then from 8am to 6am next day I am so much awake for baby good luck, 2hours of sleep every day? it's usually so carry on. :)

 

Baby is trending in FB haha. 100likes?  and 70comments? wow. and nothing much to say just "ang gwapo ni baby" haha. So proud mama. what more if he gains more weight and will reveal his real skin color lets wait and see.

 

Love to take pictures when he is awake, a captured moment indeed. Loving my son and loving my life as a mom even if it's really hard. it's part of being a mom and our obligation. so good luck soon to be mommies and real happiness is about to come your way. 

By the way, Kean is a breastfed baby since day 1, it's not easy but im trying to give my best, I almost cry on the 5th day for my breast really hurt and sorr already. But still his pedia declined to have mixed with formula milk and or use of bottle and just pump, she has a good reason but still it hurts a lot  anyway she said the only crucial part is the adjustment of 2weeks from birth now, I think everything is starting to be ok.hope to have more milk mlik.. :)

Please Lord always takes care of my little Kean. Thank you for everything you have done and everything you will do for us. Thank you for overflowing blessings, my Lord. Thank you so much.

11-12-13 Kean Josue Birth Story

 

 

That's my mom!! =') She is with me when I'm about to admit.

this is our room at Metro-NorthMedical Center and Hospital

Newly Opened last September 2013

November 11,2013 came it. Kinda nervous but more on excited. Nervous because I will be scheduled the next day for Cesarean Section. I  or We been waiting for this day. Someone this November 11, 013 still had an argument with hubby but at the end of the day,  he knew that I or we need him at this point of time. No place for the misunderstanding but for love, care and prayer for us (me and Kean)

I was admitted on November 11, 2013, around 7pm gave suppository around 9pm and around 12midnight no food or water intake are allowed. Can you believe it, I can't sleep at that time. I tried to close my eyes and relax but somehow I can already feel the pain of labor. I think so. and some nervousness I think. around 4am I was able to sleep but need to wake up 5am to take a shower and be ready for the OR staff to pick me up for my CSection scheduled November 12, 2013, 8am. OR staff pick me up around 7am, praying and praying that everything will be in good condition and everything will be fine. 

When I reached the OR, I met my Anesthesiology, Dra. Ruiz, When she saw me, she said, "Oh, she is not that big, she looks big because she is just pregnant!" haha funny indeed. She informed me of what she will do and how's the process of epidural anes and she said just like how it has done before when I gave birth to Mackenzie.  She asks are you ok? and I said yes just a bit nervous, and the Anes said, "Oh don't be just relax, and we waited for my OB to arrived together with her assistant OB-Gyne. then after a few minutes, I saw them already, the Epidural already begins, asked me to sit and bend with a pillow, while two needles are trying to pin on my spinal and putting the meds to make me numb from upper tummy down to my toes.

You can hear, feel how doctors, the nurse doing to my body but no pain at all. I can even hear them telling some stories or talking to each other about other things. then finally around 9:31am, I heard my son cried. My tears fall down and trying to look at him. seeing the newborn bed, cleaning him with Pedia and NICU nurses then finally they took off her blanket and let my son kiss me for the first time and put on my chest, so-called skin to skin with mommy is the best thing to do soon the baby delivered to make skin of baby looks more pinkish right away and feel the warm of mommy. I'm the happiest mother alive at that time. My Pedia's trying to see if the baby will start to learn for the first time how to suck and latch my breast milk, then God is great, Kean is so good in sucking, Pedia's really amazing and you know what? Kean even pees on my chest for the first time. haha. funny but the best. They said he is really a good sucker haha.

what's the best thing? when the baby came out, my OB said, "hmm no doubt he looks Mike (dad)", from OR Staff, Recovery Staff, NICU nurses, always said whenever they saw me " Mommy ang gwapo ng baby mo ang tangos ng ilong!", "Mommy ganda ng birthday ng baby mo 11-12-13, ang cute grabeh pede pakarga kapag umiyak sia?" haha. so proud mommy indeed. But before I forgot to tell stories on my CSection experience for the second time. It's way different. although the same procedure but the pain is way different. 

During my first CSection, from the Epidural Anes till the Operation done I didn't feel any pain, but here for Kean, I felt the needle pin on my spinal cord, the pain that indeed really hurt. then starting to operate me its quite good, but when Kean came out and she already in my chest, when my OB and other staff I think starting to close my operation, I already feel the pain pushing on my stomach, oh my, I can't explain its just that I trying to let it go for my son is on my chest at that time and still overwhelm for the wonderful gift that God gave me. then suddenly I can't prolong the pain anymore, I said to the Anes, that I started to feel the pain already, then she said to the Pedia's to carry on Kean for she will let me sleep because pain is already starting to burst out. then I didn't know what happened anymore when I woke up they already preparing me to bring in the recovery room. The pain of the operation occur until the day I'm about to discharge, and more days over.. I don't know why is different from him first, but its really painful. I remember during the first, I was able to walk on the next day after my CS but this time even how much I tried to stand and walk little by little pain really on it.. awww.. haha.

 

Finally, the first time her papa revealed his name haha.

"KEAN JOSUE SY ANGELES"

KEAN = miKE - ANjch

JOSUE = from the bible meaning GOD IS SALVATION, Hebrew/spanish

as my hubby knew the way he pronounced it is "JOSWE" but i said its more ok if "JOSU"

Papa with Baby Kean

 

Baby Kean at NICU

Dear Lord,

I cannot find the right words how to say THANK YOU enough for making us safe. Making may baby healthy indeed and making me ok. Lord, I'm so proud mom and I'm so thankful for your wonderful Xmas gift you gave to both of us (hubby) you make us complete and you make me whole as a woman. Carrying this wonderful, handsome baby for 9 months is not easy but hugging and kissing and embracing now with my both hands is enough to forget all the hardness and pain. I love you Lord, Please continue to make Baby Kean Healthy, Strong, and Normal. I love you Lord, I love you so so so much,

AMEN

38weeks

Reaching 38weeks is so happiness indeed. Even already having a hard time, still God Blessed us so much. Thank you Lord for everything. 2 more days and its our big day. Tomorrow, we need to admit to the hospital at 7pm. earlier next day is our schedule.So excited but of course so nervous. haha! but everything for baby? nothing is hard and I can't do.

I will see you soon baby..just keep on kicking, rolling, waving or jumping, whatever you do inside mama's tummy do it now, for we will missed both of being together for 9 month / 38weeks2days. 

Still I don't know your name, your dad already have on his mind but he refuse to tell anyone, he said its between him and papa God. As you all know, I'am the one who gave name for our first born Child "Mackenzie Anraiee" so this time I let him do it for its his request. He said he will never reveal till the day he needs to fill up the new baby born form. haha. so secretive Papa. and of course some superstitions believe that you should not give name's to your unborn child so early, you need to reach atleast 7-8months before you can choose or reveal the name you want for your new born. I think we already pass that, haha its 9months and still no one knows what is the name of  our baby, only his Papa on his own mind. haha..   

I love you so much baby, I'll see you on Tuesday!! =')

Remarks: I have some late post here is the link if you want to check it out: 

Title: 37weeks http://www.ourinfertilitybattle.com/2013/11/37weeks.html

Title: Last Prenatal Check Up http://www.ourinfertilitybattle.com/2013/11/last-prenatal-check-up.html

Dear Lord,

Thank you Lord, for taking good care of us silently. I will never failed to be a mom I promise. I will do everything for my child and to be a God fearing human being. Please Lord make my baby strong, healthy, complete, normal as I always pray for you every night. I love You Lord. You are our Life and savior.

Amen

Last Prenatal Check Up

Today, November 08, 2013. We need to visit our OB again for another check up and scan, If we decided to let our baby deliver this day, OB need to check the maturity of our dear baby boy. As for the scan and my placenta, still not that old enough, my OB wanted to have atleast Grade 3 placenta to be more matured and baby will be ready for our delivery and outside word. So we decided to really move into my desire date 11-12-13 (November 12, 2013 , Tuesday).

Today is our last prenatal check up. Next week is our Big Day. To see, kiss and hug our loving baby boy. Oh, I can't wait. haha. Contractions still come and go and more frequent now a days. Still cervix is open on 1cm. Having hard time to move and to walk. 

Then we finally knew that, there are new policy in the hospital today. So mommy beware if I ware you try to consult  your OB/Doctor. The PF of all the doctors that will assist you like OB, Pediatrician, Anesthesiologist, will no longer accept payment directly or personally. All bills will be paid directly to Hospital Cashier/accounting and hospital will add 15% additional for every PF that will declare, but this 15% will not go through the hospital it will just passes to them to pay taxes to our government (hmm.. thinking of Pork Barrel? yes it is..  tsk tsk!!)  So the secretary of the clinic is kinda close to me, she gave us an advice, but she said do not inform my OB that the idea came to her. haha..

We decided to give a down payment  to all the doctors that will handle us, my OB, Pedia and Anes but sad to say the Anesthesiologist is not too close to our OB to inform him regarding that matter so, we don't know if we can ask him to do the same thing with him but my OB said she will try to talk to him.

Here is the actual Fee's with 15% of our OB, OB's assistant, and Pedia

Actually the PF of my OB is

=30,000, but less: 5,000  Philhealth

=25,000 

but because of the hospital is new. and its my repeat CSection, My OB said she decided to ask for assistant for another OB that she already knew for a long time, As for repeat CS is more complicated, specially she is not the one who done it at the first time. and the hospital is new so,she barely know all the nurses and GP assistant that will help her. So, she explain it everything to us, instead of getting the whole 25,000 PF she decided to get the 20,000 plus 15% tax  and let Dra. Roelen Cabalza the assistant get the 4,500. exclusive if 15% taxes.

and to our Pedia fees is 5,200 plus 15%, so if we will not give some downpayment, we need to pay that 15% of that whole amount all that fees. sad to say we haven't talk to our Anes, which fees will range 8-10k as per our OB.

Here is the list we make for our Downpayment.

So basically the only fees that will be charge for 15% are:

OB Balance: Php5,000 Plus 15%

Pedia Balance: Php2,200 plus 15%

Anesthesiologist : ranging Php 8,000-10,000 plus 15%

here is my admitting slip, for November 11, 2012 7pm Monday

Dear Lord,

Here we come. Few more days left and Baby will arrive. Lord please take care of us. Please do not leave on our side and on our heart. Please guide our doctors to do the best with care. I love you Lord, You always with us protecting and loving us all. I will forever thankful for giving us healthy baby boy and how lucky we are to be his parents. Love you Lord.

Amen

37weeks

Due to some contractions I felt 2days prior November 7, 2013, I decided to text my OB that I'm feeling those kinds of hardness of tummy but no pain at all. So she asked me to visit Dra. Roelen Cabalza (she is going to assist my OB as well on my CS ). When I visit the clinic, Dra. Roelen IE me and My cervix is already open on 1cm but still, my uterus I think she said still thick and I have some discharge milky texture but no odor so she decided to give vaginal suppository. 

We waited for our OB reply after the check up, and yes indeed Dra. Roelen says my tummy experiencing contractions once in awhile. She said its up to us if we want to scheduled it Tomorrow November 08, or  decided to pursue the schedule date, but still we need to have the final decision from or OB. Sad to say my OB is kinda sick at that time, so we got home and waited for her text. Then she said , we have to visit her tomorrow November 08, to check on baby if we can schedule it that same day and if baby is matured enough to let it out in our World. Wanted to be sure that baby still not premature although we already reach the 37week4days.

Still, I'm feeling some contractions and hardness. Hard to move already. My mom always bring me food in our room. I really wanted to see my baby haha.. few more days and I think we can still wait...

After Check up, I'm having a sweet tooth. So we hit Max Restaurant for some dessert.. Yummy!!! Promise!!

Dear Lord,

Lord, I want to thank you for everything as always. I want to thank you for guiding and protecting my baby all through out. Now, we reach 37weeks and considered full term. It's indeed a happiness for us. Because of your Love, Care and Guidance we are always feel safe and protected. Lord. Please still continue to guide us both, my baby and I, till the day I  need to deliver him. I wanted to see my baby boy , hugging and kissing him. Lord, Thank you for everythinggggg...We love you so much...

Amen

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.

 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.

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

What's up with this Day234?
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,
Lord thank you again and again for protecting us both and giving us guidance everyday. Getting near and getting there. 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.
