Eunice 1st Birthday Party at 25weeks4days

August 18, 2013, Rainy Days Birthday Party. We attended the 1st birthday party of my friend's 2nd daughter at Shakey's Marcos Highway Antipolo City. Although I really wanted to come I'm still checking the weather if it's alright and safe to go out for a pregnant like me, with those slippery roads and streets, those floods and rains. But God is good, everything been ok. I supposed to be with my nieces only and ask my brother and her to bring us to the party place, but at the end, my friend as them to go down instead for so many visitors were not able to come over due to Bad weather I guess.

Party was good and happy even though a few things are locking. We manage to enjoy the day and make it through even we are so late. Haha!!

Happy Birthday Baby Eunice, please get well soon, I know you are not feeling well. But your mom and dad did a great job for your 1st birthday Party. Happiness! More luck to you baby.

 

  

-Thank God for our safe trip at this party, for protecting us from bad weather and rainy days. Thank you for making it possible for me to attend this awesome birthday party of this cute little baby, Amen.

Padre Pio at 25 weeks

I'm one of the devotees of St. Clare Church in Katipunan Avenue. Writing my petition letter every now and then I've been hearing, reading about Padre Pio ever since on my first pregnancy, but I never had a chance to visit him since then. This time I asked my mom to accompany me with Padre Pio at Libis Quezon City. It was her first time as well. My mom was a devoted Catholic and she serves on our Chapel in our Subdivision. Padre Pio had a lot or miraculous deeds all over the country. In the Philippines, you can read and learn from different stories about the miracle that Padre Pio did in their Life. 

I don't know how to feel at first when we reach the church of Saint Pio of Pietrelcina Capuchin around 3pm I think, It was so quiet, few people are praying silently inside. Before you can pray and hold the hand of Padre Pio's Mural you need to fall a line that we are lucky enough only a few people are inside at that time. So I wrote my petition letter, I prayed hard for the safety of my family and especially my Baby. I prayed hard and gives thanks for everything God has giving us. 

I told my mom that there will be a Saturday mass 530-630PM, then we decided to wait and attend the mass, It was so solemn that you wanted to be inside the church for how  many hours, talking to God and Padre Pio, it was one of the best church I ever visit, It was one of the most memorable ones. I wanted to visit again or if I can every Saturday but I hope I can do it still while on the Last and Third semester of my Pregnancy. But definitely, when my baby is born on November, I will bring him to Padre Pio Place and received the overwhelming blessings and feel the solemnized inside.

After the mass, I don't know what we called that, but some pastor are holding a cream oil based on her hand, You fall in line and they will bless you, putting that Holy Oil on your head neck and hands, the pastor whom I came with, also blessed and hold my tummy. Calling our Lord and Our saints with Padre Pio to blessed us every day and protect us all the way. Feel so relieved and Blessed for 100x.

-Thank You Lord, Thank You Padre Pio for this kind of feeling that I'm always on your prayers, Guiding us and protecting my Baby everyday. I love You Lord and Padre Pio and for every one who always praying for our safety, thank you so much from the buttom of my Heart, Amen.

Congenital.Anomaly.Scan at 24weeks

We called C.A.S (congenital Anomaly Scan) Where your baby at 24 weeks, was able to check her external and internal feature. Some mom to be are getting nervous while undergoing this kind of scan, I think all mom will get the same feeling.

As for me. I've been through this twice on my first pregnancy (with my angel Mackenzie), Why? first, it was too early to had a CAS then my OB that time ask me to rescan again after 2weeks then went well. What happened to my dear baby usually said our surgeon before it can be detected on the CAS or scan, but unfortunately, the Sonologist who took over my scan before wasn't able to detect his double bubble stomach problem, why? I don't know... that time same weeks 24weeks repeat scan says my CAS was found and everything in shape. 

Now, I'm doing my Third CAS but this time for our new baby. This time I was able to give more attention while the Sonologist is into it. I'm attentively asking questions if have one. Keep on praying that my baby is doing all great and find. Although my OB always checks my baby during my prenatal checkup and she always says "I cannot see any problem with your baby, he is doing great and find." But of Course, CAS will tell it more detailed. 

After I finished the CAS, a week after I saw my OB, She said: "I told you everything is fine because I always seeing him every time we have a checkup." Then I ask if I can do a repeat scan for another CAS for what happened to Mackenzie, gone through to a CAS but never saw a problem, she said: "YES for your peace of mind, we can do it again on your 29weeks exactly for your prenatal checkup again for next month." I'm planning to have it on Face to Face Ultrasound at the block, to check it again for another OB-sonologist, although the price its way up higher than my usual CAS (Php2,500.00 vs Php1,300.00) its ok, as long as for my baby's sake I will never have a 2nd thought of releasing that amount. I will post again my 2nd CAS after it's done. :)

I just like to take God for everything he is doing for us, for both of us. For making us safe and protected every day. Lord my savior, I will come to you every day, praying and asking for your guidance and help. For making my baby healthy, strong, complete, normal and God fearing. I will never stop praying and giving thanks to all the grace you have given me and my family. Thank you for million times for bringing this new baby in our life again. Thank you for trusting me again to be a mom and to give me a complete family in Jesus name. I love you Lord So Much... 

-Thank you, Lord, for guiding me this day. Thank you for making me strong in all the hardness and trials in my life. Thank you for continuing protecting my baby and me from any harm in this world. Thank you again for all the blessings, my Dear Lord. I love you, Amen.

Baby Dust To All...... 

OGCT at 21weeks

Oral Glucose Challenge Test 50G at 21 weeks, wheeww!! Always blown away while doing this test. As you all know, most of the pregnant women will undergo with this kind of test, especially if you are overweight on your pre-pregnancy or to begin with, 2nd if you have any diabetes history in your Family. Wow, all two got me on the way, so no reason not to take this test. It was awfully too sweet, I got a different brand during my first pregnancy and I can say even its OGTT for 100G it's way better than this brand. Ooohh My!!!

Anyway, aside for my OGCT, My OB asks me to test my urine for I'm having frequent urination and Lower back pain on the right side, but I'm happy and so very very happy that both tests came out normal. Although my OB always reminds me, LESS: SUGAR and SALT, please we still have a long way to go!! haha!! It's hard to resist but I'm doing my very best.

Again Thank You Lord for making us safe, protected and love, Amen.

At 21 Weeks, Its's a boy

-Thank You Lord. Please continue to guide us both every day. We love you and we thank you for all the blessings you are giving me and my family, Amen.

Lord, a million thanks will never be enough to say to you for how much you care and love us all the way. For all the blessings and grace you are giving me. Thank you, Lord, for taking good care of my Mackenzie in heaven and for making my new baby strong and healthy.

at 15 weeks

Hello everyone, as you all know its been awhile I haven't post any update for the past few weeks, Kinda busy and been suffering for ACID RE FLUX or Heart Burn.

Last few weeks, as related to my last post, I experience some colds and cough, after a few weeks, Heart Burn is killing so bad. I always have severe vomiting experience (but never get through)  which all we know can disturb the little one inside. I used to  take some candies and gum as my ob said to make me ease that nasty acid taste that keeps on pulling out. She even asked me to take frequently meal but only small amount. I have tried to eat some plain crackers as she said every time acid attacks me, but nothing could change my feelings. Sometimes Gum make the heart burn away but not long enough to make me feel good. although I also read on the net that one of the fastest remedy is to chew a gum for Heart Burn.

June 06, 2013 came it, I'm really not feeling good. Actually we went out last June 05,2013 my hubby and my cousin wife to watch the FF6, my bad  we ate and I drunk 2 glass of Ice Tea which is a big no no to someone who is suffering from Acid Re flux or Heart Burn and then dinner again, same day I drunk a glass of Ice tea again, then after a few hours, Heart Burn attacks me again so bad.... The next day came in, early morning still suffering from Heart Burn, I almost cried for pain, then suddenly around lunch it sooth down. I decided to take a bath for me to make me feel better, After I took a bath, I notice only 2-3 drops of urine on my undies that I was not able to control, then I went back to the bathroom to change my undies again, but before I lay down, again few drops came out. So I'm kinda not feeling good about it, I even smell the urine if its really smell like it or something else like a water-bag, I remember my First born child, was always the same thing happened, the difference was, the urine that came out from me before was more than drops, even fell on my legs, so I was shaking, good thing it was Thursday and my OB was in the clinic at that time, i tried to text her if I can see her cause I'm not feeling good. then I called that clinic asked if My OB can see me that day, then the secretary said yes, and OB just replied, I tried to relax and be calm. even my hands are shaking so bad, I called my hubby's who is down stairs, He said, why, I said I need to see OB and said what happened, he felt more panic than me, and he even told my mom as well, so my mom, also got scared and so nervous, we hit the road and go to the clinic.

I explaining to my OB what happened. She said OK, lets see what inside today through a pelvic ultrasound. When I saw my Baby's moving and Heart Beat are kicking it so fast, I just said "THANK YOU LORD, THANK YOU BABY" she said that baby is fine, and baby's heartbeat beating so fast. She even checked the gender if she could she said, its kinda look like a boy but not yet sure. Then she said baby is OK, she didn't see any abnormalities as of that moment. But she said actually you have "Mild Contraction" the lining was kinda hanging instead of just a good shape of a balloon. probably because of my acid re flux that sometimes I intend to vomit and make my uterus contract.

After the scan, mom, hubby, I and OB talk, we explained that I was able to drink some glass of Ice tea the day before that, she said don't drink any Ice tea, Juices, coffee, or anything that you know ill trigger my heart burn. She said it suppose to be not there anymore for I already finished the 1st trimester but because I have the acid Re flux even before I get pregnant for my first child maybe it triggers more right now.

She gave me prescription of Maalox that even its OK for pregnant, my OB and I still hesitant to let me drink so many medicine for my baby is still in the development period. So Maalox is for only if really needed as prescribe. She ask me to stop the Poten-Cee cause it could be a cause of my acid as well . But still its been a week and even the heartburn attacks me so bad I still tried to fight for it without drinking maalox.

She took me to Duvadillan for 1 week, for my mild contraction, and ask to see me again on June 20, 2013 to monitor my contraction at that time, My Check up supposed to be June 16, 2013 but because of what happened and I wanted to make sure. I visited her a week early.

OB' said minimal the moves, don't work too hard at home. Don't be sad and Don't be so angry. Do not shout for all of these could make baby suffer.then I asked my OB about the urine the came out, she asked it is more? said no, does it smell like urine, said yes. then she explain, actually specially pregnant women, we sometimes can't control our pee because of our uterus that getting big as we reach 9 months, as long as its not too many water and still smells like urine its normal and as well as depends on the age, when we reach old age are body mechanism, or part of the body to control our pee are not functioning well anymore.

Somehow I was relieved. I'm so happy so so happy that baby is doing great and fine. Just need more rest. and be back on Thursday June 20, 2013 more update soon.


Baby, Sorry if mommy was so hard headed sometimes. I so careless that sometimes I forgot to think How you will feel.My bad baby, and it will never happened again.
