Last night I was able to sleep well. And how deep is my sleep I even had bad dreams again. I didn’t took the sleep aid that I bought a few weeks ago but I am thankful I slept well. Been having sleepless nights a couple of days already. But those bad dreams are bugging me. I hope it doesn’t mean anything in real life. I am following my friend’s suggestions that I pray and thing happy thoughts before going to bed. And I changed position also but dreams is still there. I guess it is common to pregnant women.

My sister in law gave me an acne body wash last week. She gave it to my husband when he visited them in Manila for her graduation. Thank you so much Ate Mai! I will use it soon. I have a lot of acne on my back right now. Maybe this is because I am pregnant. I am not like any other pregnant whose hormones gives them clear and beautiful skin. I wish after giving birth these acne’s will go away as I don’t want them anymore. =)

Was sitting on our patio furniture this morning when I saw a bird. it’s been a while since I saw a bird like that in our backyard. It made me happy. To a pregnant me who stays in the bedroom most of the time its nice to go out and bond with nature once in a while. I hope this nausea and morning sickness will go away so I can go out more often and see the beauty in nature. I can’t wait.

Now diet pills won’t mean a thing to me. This pregnancy will surely make me big and I am ready for that. Maybe those diet pills will be needed after I give birth. For sure it is needed. I am thankful that weight issue won’t matter to me this time. All I am thinking right now is to eat right and feed the baby inside me. I want him/her to be healthy and grow bigger. =)

How your baby’s growing:

The big news this week: Hands and feet are emerging from developing arms and legs — although they look more like paddles at this point than the tiny, pudgy extremities you’re daydreaming about holding and tickling. Technically, your baby is still considered an embryo and has something of a small tail, which is an extension of her tailbone. The tail will disappear within a few weeks, but that’s the only thing getting smaller. Your baby has doubled in size since last week and now measures half an inch long, about the size of a blueberry.

I was asked by my OB if I have a health plan. I said no as I haven’t enrolled in one. She said I need to get one for my delivery. It will slash off some good amount on our bill. I should have done it a few years back but I am so lazy. Ugh! How I wish we have an online health plan just like the Blue Cross Blue Shield North Carolina health plan. It will be much easier for me who is a home buddy.

I spent the month of April lying in bed. I get dizzy whenever I am standing so my option is to lay in our bed all the time. I can’t even use our laptop to check on my emails. But I am not complaining. I am in fact embracing this special moment of my life. I am enjoying this pregnancy. This makes me happy right now even if it is a pain sometimes. =)

I am so sorry for posting this so late here. Was so lazy in everything I do including my blogging. I announced this on my FB account and I wanna thank all of those who congratulated us there. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Anyway, here’s the special announcement:

Journaling:

Finally after 6 years I am now bearing a
child again.

At 2am, March 21, 2010, I wasn’t able to sleep and
I am thinking of performing the test as I got the
instinct that I am already pregnant. But I fell
asleep again and woke up at 5am. I got the urge
to pee so I got the pregnancy test that hubby
bought. I tested and there’s one clear pink line
but the other one is faint. So I tested again
using the pregnancy test that my friend from
the US bought for me. Because I am 100%
sure that it is accurate. I let it sit for
3 minutes. I washed my face and didn’t
had a glimps on the pregnancy test as I
am nervous of the outcome. I did 4 tests
before and all of that are negative. I don’t want
to get depressed again. But I when I finally decided
to look at my test tears started to fall. I saw two
clear pink lines!!!! I went out of the bathroom and
showed the test to my awaken husband. He was
so happy too. I can’t remember what he said to
me as I was busy crying. haha! I can’t believe it myself!
I cried more after learning that it was our son Huey’s 6th
birthday. Maybe he whispered to God that it is now time
to move on and have a brother or sister. Thank you son
for this gift. Thank God for this blessing. We are
super happy! We are also praying for safe pregnancy
and delivery.

We can’t wait to see you my
little peanut!
