My baby Cate.

She was born last October 17th, Sunday at 9:55am via CS. She weighs 1.8kls.

We are so happy to meet her finally. Isn’t she adorable? When she came out she looked so much like her Mama and after 2 days when I saw her she’s a look a like of her Papa. I haven’t seen her in person since Tuesday since she was left in the hospital for photo therapy and antibiotics. My husband only take pictures of her everyday for me. I can’t wait to cuddle and kiss her when she’s home on Sunday.

Now that I am finally finished with this pregnancy, I am in the hunt for the best diet pills for women as I intend to go back to my pre pregnancy weight. I need to fit in my old clothes again. I don’t want to wear my maternity dresses after giving birth.

Thank you all so much for those who prayed for me and my baby. We are so lucky to have all of you.

God bless you all!

These past few weeks I’ve been so worried about my pregnancy. I can’t help but think of what might happen if I do this or that. Ugh! But prayer is my strength. I know that we are going to be fine.

I went to my OB for my monthly check up last week. I sat through the exam tables and my doctor performed the check up. Thank God my baby is fine. My OB measured her length and she is normal. As well as her heartbeat, all normal. I am just paranoid in this pregnancy. haha!

We will undergo another ultrasound next week and I can’t wait to see my baby once again.

Weeeeeee!!!!!

I am too paranoid today, I was thinking on how to lose weight fast as early as now. hahahha! I am on my 13th week only and I have a very long way to go on this pregnancy. I was too emotional the other day too. I faced the mirror and think if this pregnancy fats will go away soon. Will I able to wear my old clothes again? Or will my closet have new clothes after pregnancy. I love change but I want it in a good way. We will just see when this baby comes out off me. We can’t wait to see him/her!

I lost weight today. Whattt???? I am pregnant and I am losing weight??? Ugh! Maybe this was because of the constant throwing up in the bathroom. The good thing about this is that I don’t need those ab workouts anymore. I am losing weight without doing anything! But I know that its not good for my baby. I should be eating a lot at this time. I will make up in the coming months and make sure that our baby is getting the nutrition that he/she deserve.

When Huey was born, hubby and I bought a plastic crib at the mall but in the long run he wasn’t able to use it that much. He spent most of his time in his walker. In our upcoming baby I want to have a wooden crib. That way it will last longer maybe up to our third baby. hehe! I love this crib that I saw online.

I also want it to be painted white. It’s cleaner like that and nice to look at. I will try to ask our carpenter to make one like this for our baby. I think it is easy to copy. I can’t wait!

I have a lot of cravings now that I am pregnant.

I was looking for a black berry which is called “Baligang” in our native language. I told hubby that I want to eat it in the middle of the night. But I am not that demanding so I told him that I can wait until the next day. When I learned that our neighbor has it I immediately asked our maid’s husband to get one for me. I can’t wait for hubby to come home so I told him to get it for me instead. I was really happy to know that finally I can eat what I am craving for already. It’s yummy I tell you!

210 Days To Go!!!

Although he’s barely the size of a kumquat — a little over an inch or so long, crown to bottom — and weighs less than a quarter of an ounce, your baby now has completed the most critical portion of his development. This is the beginning of the so-called fetal period, a time when the tissues and organs in his body rapidly grow and mature. If you could take a peek inside your womb, you’d spot minute details, like tiny nails forming on fingers and toes (no more webbing) and peach-fuzz hair beginning to grow on tender skin.

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.
