I'm hoping for twins (next time)
Russell's clan (both father and mother side) have history of conceiving twins. Blame it to my one-week bed rest medication that I am now getting fond of twin videos in youtube. Eto favorite ko talaga.

What to expect on your child's first year
When we opened one of our wedding gifts, hubby and I were surprised to receive a baby book. At that time, we don't have any plans yet of conceiving a baby. In fact, I had kept the book in the cabinet because I (thought) that I am not going to use it soon. But lo and behold. Just exactly a month after getting married, we were blessed to have our little peanut inside my tummy. When I had my ultrasound last week, that's the only time I remember that I ought to get and read the baby book that I have kept.
 I am on medical leave of absnce so that explains why I do not update my two blogs that much. Labels: dailies

Boy or Girl?
I am now on my 13th week. I am really excited to know what's gonna be the gender of our baby. As much as I want to, online resources says that knowing a baby's gender usually takes place between the 18th weeks onwards. I think I'll have mine on a later date na lang. Meanwhile, I had fun watching this 4D ultrasound from youtube.

Back From Hiatus Mode and a Few Update
I haven't updated this blog for the past 7 days. And that's a record for me. I have so much stories to tell but I got little energy to write in details. Kaya ung gist na lang.
March 18- I noticed that my undies had brown discharged. Dedma lang ako kasi konti lang naman. kala ko wala lang. But the following day, mejo lumakas na. Buti na lang I always use panty liners kaya alam ko kung gano kadami ung fluid. March 19- This is the time that I really panicked coz the brownish discharge turned into red. This is also the time that I finally informed hubby about my condition. Though I know that my family can take care of me (at 10-minute drive amin FEU fairview Hospital), hubby still called his folks to fetch me from QC since my OB is from Cavite. From then, my OB GYN gave me 4 meds. Isang Vitamin C (since sipunin ako these days), a vitamin to help my baby's development and 2 meds na pampakapit. I was advised not to take any long road trips and complete bed rest for 10 days. I also had an ultrasound of my baby. Miski di clear sa akin ung image sa ultrasound machine, I was so happy to know that my baby is alright. Clear ang heartbeat. Sobrang bait ng in-laws ko. I couldn't ask for more. My MIL even reimbursed what I have spent for my check up and medicine. Isa na siguro ako sa pinaka maswerteng manugang sa buong mundo. March 20 and 21- I am so sad on this day. This is Papa's first birthday na wala ako sa bahay. This is also the day that I joined Russell's folks as they do the traditional visita iglesia. Sabi nila, somewhere north daw. Di ko akalain na Super north pala coz we reached Ilocos Norte and Sur (our first stop was Pampanga then Pangasinan.). As in Vigan and Pagudpud. Ako lang walang baong damit. Super tiring pero ok lang. I feel so pampered. Talagang alaga ako ng my sister-in-laws ko. Sobrang thankful ako na sila ang naging second family ko. On the other hand, I promised baby na last na itong long trip na ito. I just prayed sa lahat ng santo para lumakas ang kapit nya. Agoo Church, Pangasinan Welcome to Ilocos Sur St. Augustine Bell Tower, Vigan Ilocos Sur Exotic Pagudpud Happy Hernandez! On our way to Patapat Falls, Ilocos Norte March 22- We arrived home 6am na. This is from the 12-hour drive that we have. Kawawa naman si FIL cause he was awake all this time, baka kasi maka tulog ung driver. We were 8 who occupied their MB 100 van. Ako nag occupy nung unang buong seat para daw makahiga ako ng maayos. My father was so worried of me. Di kasi ako nkkpagtxt coz I ran out of cellphone battery eh. Patang-pata ang katawan ko kaya nakatulog kaagad ako. Anyhoo, I'll ba taking my meds for 7 days (2 cycles every day). So far, my bleeding has stopped. Tomorrow is Easter Sunday. As much as I want to go malling, malamang dito lang me sa haws. I need to have full bed rest para maging ok din si baby. 'Till next update, Ingat! :) Labels: blurbs

Not Yet Done
I have had this blog for a month now. But heck! Up until this time, I have yet to finish the entire "blinkies" and some what-nots that I want in this blog. It's only now that I was able to include a shoutbox and a blogroll. I still have to edit the HTML for photo albums and my other blogs. As much as I want to, I just don't have the time now. Besides, I am not feeling well. Hopefully, I can finish the things I have to include int this blog before holy week ends.

Is it possible?
I am now of my 13th week. It's weird though because it seems that it is only now that I am experiencing morning sickness. HayYyyy...right now, i have colds and cough. I hate it when I have have stuffy nose. Grrrr...
I just talked to daddy over YM. Somehow it eases the loneliness and pain that I am feeling.

Fetal development - 12 weeks pregnant
I am so excited with the changes that are taking palce in my womb right now. This is what I got from babycenter.com. Your baby's face is beginning to look more human, even though she is only about 2 inches/5.5cms long from her crown to her rump and weighs slightly less than half an ounce/ 14 grams. The eyes, which started out on the sides of the head, have moved closer together. The ears are almost in their normal position on the side of the head. The liver is making bile and the kidneys are secreting urine in the bladder.
The fetus squirms if your abdomen is prodded, although you cannot yet feel movement. Fetal nerve cells have been multiplying rapidly and synapses (neurological connections in your brain) are forming. The fetus has acquired more reflexes: touching the palms makes the fingers close, touching the soles of the feet makes the toes curl down and touching the eyelids makes the eye muscles clench.
Your doctor or midwife can now feel the top of the uterus, also known as the fundus, low in the abdomen. As you enter the second trimester, you may find yourself donning looser, less restrictive clothing. Soon you won't be able to fit into your regular clothes any more. You may now find that once the "sickness" feeling has passed, your appetite returns. Check out how to eat well over the next few weeks. • Note: Experts say every baby develops differently -- even in utero. These fetal development pages are designed to give a general idea of how a fetus grows in the womb. Labels: baby development

Home At Last
It's been a while since the last time I stayed in my folks' house-for long. Everybody in our house were excited upon learning that I'll be around for two weeks. It's just a pain in the ass though that we have no house help at all. House chores are now divided. It's a pain for me seeing my mom wash our clothes. I want to help her but she just wouldn't let me.
Ate cooked 'okoy' today. She's been asking me for quite sometime if I have been experiencing morning sickness or if my 1st trimester was delicate. Thank God that I don't experience any of those. I don't have cravings as well. I just eat whatever pops in my mind, especially when I'm watching TV. That's how I requested for okoy. Hubby's absence is being filled by my family. I don't think I have ever missed them this much before. I am truly blessed!

Tears
Dear Baby,
I am so sorry if mommy keep on cyring for the past two days. I didn't mean to make you feel bad too. It's just that your mommy misses your daddy sooOoOo much. Your mommy and daddy should have been used to "long distance relationship" since we've been together for more than 5 years before we got married. But this time, it's different. We already HAVE you. When your daddy left, I tried my best to put a smile on my face the last time I saw him in the airport. I don't want it to make it more difficult for him to leave. Now that your daddy is gone, I can freely cry. I'm really sorry baby, but let your mother cry just for a few more days then I'll get used to your daddy's absence.
I don't want you to grow up with out a father. I will forever regret that he will not be there the first time you will laugh, the first time you crawl, the first time you try solid food, the first time you will have your first tooth, and the first time you utter the words mama or dada. Daddy will not be there to change your diapers when you get wee-wee and poo-poo. It's hard for daddy to leave you too. But he got no other choice. He wants to provide your with better future that is why he had to leave despite of his will. He wants you to attend the best school, to live in the most comfortable house we provide you, and give you all the toys a precious child like you wishes to have. So you see baby, mommy and daddy really love you so much.When he comes back a month before your birthday next year, we will be together ALWAYS. That's a promise from your loving father. And he will make it up to you too. Please don't get mad at us because we treat you so dearly. You are only 11 weeks old now. I hope that this blog will still be up when you grow old so that you can read and feel the sacrifices that your mommy and daddy had to make because of loving you.
I love you, Mommy Labels: mommy talks
