infinity and beyond

I’m on my 35^th week now; few weeks from now this tiny gift in me might “pop up” anytime… can’t wait for the moment… especially now that some of his stuffs are waiting for his arrival… we didn’t buy much clothes, as advised by our family and friends, baby grows so fast so we just organized what he needs at the moment… and it’s more fun buying stuff when the baby is already here… you can check which fits and suites him most. 

For the mean time we just got some basic stuff; sterilizer, cribs, feeding bottles, toiletries, oil, powder, diapers, blankets and some clothes (some baby clothes were sent by lola myrna)…

While on holiday, Botbot and I got ready of the items, we washed and ironed all the clothes and linens, and set everything in the baby cabinet (thanks to Lolo Rene and Tito Elmer for fixing the cabinet). 

We also made ready of our hospital bag (for baby and mommy)…

Oh, btw, I don’t know where this excitement led us… we also got a simple present for our little prince, since this is our first Christmas together might as well get ready of his 1^st Christmas attire…

Botbot has been bugging me to have a maternity shoot but I’m having a second thought since I’m not much comfortable with my shape right now, but on the other hand it seems interesting to have a memento of your pregnancy (specially first) and I can also show to our baby how proud mommy was during the process…

Last night we tried it (not with Botbot but with Joy), actually I don’t have a choice but to do it, I received a message from my MIL (mother-in-law) that she wants to see how big my tummy is, so we had some photo op…

ooppsss... change costume

So what do you think, should I consider Botbot’s proposal?

We’re on our 7^th month of our pregnancy, 29 weeks to be exact… in a couple of weeks we can hold our baby in our arms already…

The last ultrasound showed that our baby is in a breech position…now I knew why I always feel the jolt on my lower abdomen… my doctor said that we still have 2 months for the baby to position normally or else… CS is the last resort… 

From the time we learned this I searched for some techniques on how to turn a breech baby:

Warning: Be sure to check with your provider before trying the positions for turning a breech baby to see if there is any reason why you should not use them.

·       Visualizing the baby moving down with the head very deep in your pelvis, several times a day; especially in conjunction with positions and exercises below.

·       Swimming as often as possible. This keeps your body and pelvis loose and relaxed. Do in conjunction with headstand below if you have help.

·       Headstand - with assistance and in a pool frequently as possible.

·       Breech Tilt - begin at 32-35 weeks gestation. Do 3 times daily for 10-15 minutes each time, when you have an empty stomach, and the baby is active. Prop one end of an ironing board securely on a sofa or chair 12 to 18 inches high (or may use slant board). Lie down, bend knees but keep feet flat on board. Relax, breathe deeply, and avoid tensing. May also use pillows on a flat surface to raise hips 12-18" above shoulders. Gravity pushes the baby's head into the fundus, tucks it, and baby can then do a somersault to a vertex position.

·       CD/iPod headphones - place them inside mom's pants toward her pubic bone and play classical music for 10 minutes 6-8 times a day, so the baby would follow where the echo is coming from. 

·       Dad’s messages – let your husband position on your lower abdomen and talk to your baby.  Once the baby hears the voice he will follow where the sound is coming from.

·       Flashlight - try moving slowly down from the top of the uterus toward your pubic bone while you are in a breech tilt position.

·       Massage - start with your left hand at the bottom of the abdomen and your right hand just above it. Move your hands clockwise around the right side of your tummy. As your right hand reaches the top of your abdomen, slide the left one over your right and move it down the left side of your tummy. Your left hand leads as you come full circle, continuing clockwise. Massage gently as you would to apply lotion. Massage for ten minutes or more up to several times each day.

·       Clothespin - place on the small toe of each foot at the outside corner of the toenail; sideways so that the toenail and toe-pad are stimulated for 30 minutes per day, this is an acupressure point that is a "moving down"  point. You can also do this with just finger pressure as you remember to do it.

·       Motion Sickness band - place with the bead four finger-widths above the inner ankle bone - another acupressure point that is used for stimulation of the uterus. Do not use this point if you are experiencing any pre-term labor.

·       Glass of orange or other juice - follow this with a side-lying position with your hips positioned higher than your feet. Babies move more after a sugar high!

·       Pelvic Tilt- with an ice pack on the top of your tummy on an empty stomach, 10 minutes twice a day. Do this while lying on your back on the floor with knees flexed and feet on the floor with three large pillows placed under your buttocks. Try this in conjunction with headphones and visualization.

·       Cat stretch - start with all fours, then lay your head and chest flat on the floor with your buttocks in the air, as you round your back and return to all fours.

·       Knee-chest position - by kneeling with hips flexed slightly more than 90 degree, but with thighs not pressing against your tummy and your head, shoulders and upper chest are flat on a mattress for 15 minutes every two waking hours for five days.

·       Belly Relaxing followed by Inversion - Partner places a shawl, sheet, towel or rebozo under mom's hips as she lies on the floor. Lift up on the corners of the cloth and shimmy her from side to side moving your hands up and down to wiggle her belly from side to side. These should be very small movements which mom should find very relaxing. Do this for about 5 minutes. Then mother kneels on the stairway landing. Walk your hands down 2 or 3 stairs into an all fours position; have your partner support your shoulders to balance you. Remain in this position for about 5-10 minutes or as long as comfortable. Also do this on an empty stomach.

The following techniques to turn breech babies to vertex involve the assistance of a specialist or medical professional:

·       Acupuncture - find an acupuncturist who is familiar with pregnancy and knows the points to stimulate for turning a breech baby.

·       Webster's Breech Technique - see a Chiropractor who is experienced in this technique.

·       External Version - this can be done in the hospital at about 37 weeks

Haven’t tried anything yet… still needing to consult my OB on my next visit…. And hopefully by that time baby is situated normally.

Nevertheless, whatever the position maybe, what’s important is our baby is healthy…. It doesn’t matter whether normal, epidural, or CS… what we are praying is a safe and uneventful delivery…

Side kwento>> when I told Botbot about our baby’s position, his first reaction was “ayos yan, pwedeng panggamot sa natinik” ,what??? He’s not worried if there’s a possibility for CS (and of course a possibility for higher hospital expenses)… it seems he’s thankful cause “may gagamot na sa tinik”

Another visit to my OB, actually this is my first visit to my “official” OB, official – kasi she’s the one na! (naks!)… she’ll be taking care of me (and our baby) until my delivery…

First impression???  Akala ko masungit, while waiting in the corridor (with Joy) dumaan sya, I didn’t know that it was her, sinabi lang ni Joy, “ate, s’ya yun”… ako naman, bakit parang mataray… anyway, tignan natin…

My turn…

Tintin: Good afternoon Doctor.

OB: Hi, good afternoon.

So mega interviewhan na naman kami…

OB: Okay let’s check your baby…

Prepare na for ultrasound…

OB: Baby is fine… the bleeding is gone…

OB: Do you want to know if it’s a boy or girl?

Tintin: (mejo gulat) Is it possible, I’m only on my 16^th week?

OB: Yah, sometimes it’s possible, we’ll see…

Tintin: Okay... (ODK!!!! Ano kaya ang anak ko…)

OB: I think it’s a ****** (ooppsss secret muna), we’ll confirm on your next visit, but most probably it’s a ****** (secret na namin ni doktora yun)

OB: For now nothing to worry about, your baby is okay and no more internal bleeding.

Tintin:  (Salamat po Lord!), Doctora, do I need to continue with my duphaston and folic acid?

OB: Just finish your stock of duphaston and you can stop the folic acid, we’ll just replace it with multivitamins.  Just come back after a month.

Tintin: Thank you so much, doctora and nice meeting you...

OB: You’re welcome...

And off we go...

Yahooo!!!! Thank you talaga Lord!!! I’m glad that everything is okay na...

Actually, prior to my check up I had an ultrasound last Wednesday na rin (May 27), a colleague of Ate Jinky (my friend in IVF) did it, doon pa lang she told me that there’s no bleeding na raw but better to hear a confirmation from my OB... during my ultrasound nalaman ko kung gaano talaga kakulit si baby... ayaw humarap ni baby, lagi lang sya nakatalikod so ang nakikita lang namin is his/her back, yung thigh nya and the puwet!

Avida (the ultrasound technician) keeps on talking to my baby, “common baby move, move, move, face us...” eh suplado yata ang anak ko or mahiyain... ayaw talagang humarap, so di namin makita yung face nya... okay sige kung ayaw mo next time na lang… then when we were about to finish…. Aba! Biglang humarap, tawanan nga eh… pa-mysterious effect pa!!! so there, we saw the eyes, pati yung eyeball habang gumagalaw…

Grabe ang feeling… syempre, teary-eyed na naman ang mother… kahit mejo naging maselan yung condition namin, I’m grateful na our baby is doing great…

Botbot and I (pati na si baby) are very thankful to our families and friends who are praying for us… ang laking tulong pa ng mga prayers nyo!!!

Thank you God for the healing and constant protection…

More kwentos to come…

May 10, 2009, 7:00pm

I felt uncomfortable with my lower abdominal pain… I thought it was normal lang with my condition, no spotting naman eh, sabi nila yun lang i-avoid ko… pero masakit talaga eh, so I decided to rest na talaga, I told Botbot about it, I went inside our room, sinundan nya ako with mommy, sabi ko masakit talaga so sabi namin punta na lang kami ng doctor the following day…

March 11, 2009, 9:00 am, Dr. Evangeline Moreno’s Clinic

I informed Dr. Vangie about the pain, tinanong nya if I had spotting, sabi ko wala naman just the pain.  After checking my B/P and weight she did a TVS (transvaginal ultrasound) and found out that I have an internal bleeding, which indicates that mahina ang kapit ng baby, mejo teary-eyed na ako… she showed us also the sac, yun daw yung lalagyan ni baby, si baby di pa visible non but to see the sac talagang preggy na ako…

So with my condition she prescribed duphaston, every 8hours, in addition to the folic acid she gave me during our first visit.

I asked my OB if that bleeding would affect the development of my baby… happy to say hindi daw, even after birth.  Basta the last thing she reminded us is as much as possible avoid daw ang spotting.

I was advised to have a bedrest, less physical activity muna.  And since we’re about the leave in 1 week time, sabi ni doktora, it’s not advisable for me to travel muna… but we’ll see if may development sa bleeding after ko magtake ng duphaston…

On our way home, mejo tahimik ako, naluluha talaga ako but Botbot keeps on telling me na dasal and don’t worry magiging okay rin ang lahat…

I’m still so thankful kasi kahit ganon okay pa rin yung condition ni baby…

March 16, 2009

Bakit ganon pa rin, may pain pa rin so we decided to visit again my OB, kahit di pa ubos yung gamot na binigay nya. 

We did another TVS, and sorry to find out na nadagdagan yung bleeding… I was on my 6^th week noon, lalo na naman akong nalungkot. 

We adjust my medicine intake, from trice a day; we made it 4 times a day… and continue yung bedrest.  And she advised us to extend our stay for 2 weeks more kasi di talaga ko pwedeng magtravel.  We have to monitor the bleeding.

And since I’m on my 6^th week sabi ni doktora we can check the heartbeat of the baby, so that’s what we did, galing talaga ni God, to ease our worries we were able to see our baby’s heartbeat (see lang kasi di pa daw kaya ng Doppler yun eh)… di pa masyadong malinaw yung image ni baby though Dr. Vangie guaranteed us na okay yung development, with embryo, gestational sac, yolk sac.  Our baby is progressing as normal as other babies are, despite the SCH… and with that were very thankful talaga…

Laban ng laban si baby… kapit anak!!!

March 23, 2009

Good day for us!!!

We went back again to the clinic kasi I was done with my duphaston na, we have to monitor the SCH…. The last bleeding was gone na raw and the 1^st bleeding eh lumiit na, I’m really grateful that everything is okay… so balik sa dati, trice a day na lang ulit yung duphaston…

I’m supposed to take iron na but with my morning sickness bugging me… Dr. Vangie advised na wag muna since sayang lang din kasi nagvo-vomit pa ako… so stick to duphaston and folic acid muna…

March 28, 2009 (day before our flight)

(We decided to leave on March 29 para I can still rest in Riyadh before going back to work on April 4)

Our last visit to my OB, again TVS was done, as seen from our last visit wala na talaga yung bleeding and the fetal heart beat is very active… and what made our day pa is we saw the head formation and yung feet… (ang ngiti sa mga labi ni Daddy Botbot at Lola Myrna)

Dr. Vangie said na I can still take duphaston till end of the month daw then folic acid na lang… syempre she advised me to be careful pa rin, less stress and physical activity…

We went home with smile… ang sarap ng feeling if you knew that everything is okay na…

April 1, 2009

Still no work, I went to have another ultrasound to check our baby’s condition after our flight…

The heart beat was okay… that was the first time I heard our baby’s heart beat… sorry to say Botbot wasn’t there… but when I told him that I heard our baby’s heart beat, tuwang-tuwa ang daddy-to-be…

April 4, 2009

Back to work na…

Fast forward…

April 21, 2009

11am

I went to the bathroom only to find out that I have spotting, I immediately called Botbot…

Tintin: My labs, may blood sa underwear ko…

Botbot: Okay, relax lang, sabihin mo kay Marla, ask mo kung anong dapat gawin… relax ka lang…

Tintin: (P&&^%#&!!! anong relax, may blood… relax!!!)

I phoned Marla

Tintin: Marla, may dugo sa underwear ko…

Marla: Halika punta tayo employee health...

But before we left, i let Marla see the spotting... di ko naman kasi alam kung yun nga yun eh…

11:30 am, Employee Health Clinic

Tintin: Excuse me, pwede pong magpa-appointment?

Nurse: Bakit?

Tintin: May spotting po kasi ako eh…

Nurse: Kelan pa?

Tintin: Ngayon lang po, around 11am

Nurse: Buntis ka ba?

Tintin: Opo... 12 weeks...

Nurse: Okay, pero the doctor will be available by 1pm, wala ng doctor ngayon kasi 11:30 na...

Tintin: (trying to control my emotion) okay po… maghintay na lang ako dito…

Nurse: Basta pagnagbukas agad yung counter lapit kana ah, ipa-prioritize ka namin…

Tintin: Okay

Marla stayed with me… I’m trying to make myself busy, ayokong mag-isip ng negative, pati pag-iyak ko kinokontrol ko… nagtext ako kay mommy, sabi nya relax lang din daw… kasi maapektuhan yung baby pagkinakabahan ako…

Okay sige relax!!!!

1pm

Wala pa!!!

1:30pm

Wala pa rin… dumating na ang mga sisterets ko…

1:45pm

Screening muna… bp, temp, weight, history and they asked me for a urine…

2:00pm

Hay!!! Salamat, my turn na… so I went to the doctor, interview ulit… then she asked me to just go home na lang daw and gave me 3 days sick leave… while she was writing her notes, I asked the nurse if wala bang ultrasound, Wala!!! OMG, di pa rin ako mapakali cause I don’t know the condition of my baby…

2:30 pm

We were (Ann & Joy) in the lab for my blood investigation, tinawagan ko na rin si Daddy to fetch me up…

After sa lab, we decided to eat muna since hinihintay pa naman namin si daddy… while eating tumawag si Daddy, mejo male-late sya because his boss asked him to do something pa… so I stayed in Joy’s office muna till 4pm…

4:30 pm

We decided to go to other hospital to have my ultrasound, di talaga ako mapakali hanggat di ko alam ang lagay ni baby…

5:00 pm

On our way to the hospital (with my dad & mom) I was quiet, naluluha ako minsan, ewan ko ba I’m trying to control my emotion kasi I know naapektuhan si baby pero hirap eh…

8:30pm

Oo!!! We waited for almost 2hours in the hospital… so yun na nga, it’s our turn, we went inside the clinic (kami ni mommy) and interview na naman, I even told the doctor about my pregnancy condition when I was in Pinas… and I asked her if I can do an ultrasound… funny thing is hindi raw since it’s late already, close na ang ultrasound department, I can comeback tomorrow na lang daw… nyaaa!!! Maybe the doctor saw the worries in my eyes so sabi nya okay we’ll just check the baby’s heart beat (good!!! Yun lang po talaga ang gusto ko) so while I was at rest in the bed and the nurse was checking on the heart beat, feeling ko tumigil ang mundo hanggat di ko naririnig yung heart beat ni baby…

Tintin: (silently praying) Lord, please don’t let bad things happen…

Nurse: (sige check lang) ayun may heart beat… Doc, may heart beat po…

Doctor: Good

She went near the bed, checked on my pulse and said okay yung heart beat ni baby…

Tintin: Thank you Lord… (sabay ngiti)

The doctor advised me to take duphaston again until my 4^th month and to have my ultrasound the following morning to check on the cause of the bleeding since may history pala ako ng SCH sa pinas…

April 22, 2009, 9am

Si daddy na lang kasama ko (di makaalis si mommy eh, walang kasama si lucas, and we don’t want to bring lucas in the hospital no…), he just dropped me in the hospital and he went to the office, tatawag na lang ako if tapos na…

Ultrasound Dept.

Aga ko… but I’ve waited for almost 1 hour… bakit??? I have to be in full bladder though according to the technician they can see the baby clearly on 12^th week but my doctor has a special order, to check if the SCH is back again…

At yun nga… I’m have SCH na naman… though my baby is doing okay and progressing normally naman daw, according to the technician, active daw si baby… I saw also in the monitor na parang ang likot nga… grabe, can’t explain the feeling na kahit ganon yung condition mo is laban pa rin si baby… ang tapang…

After the ultrasound I went back to the clinic to show the result… and yun nga, I have SCH again and may nakita silang fibroid, but as per my doctor, it won’t affect my pregnancy, it will subside after pregnancy, and sabi nga nung isang mother na kasabay ko, fibroid is an additional support for the baby… so nothing to worry about…

Now, I’m taking duphaston again, trice a day and folic acid pa rin…

May 5, 2009

It’s my first official check up in our hospital, the appointment I had last April 21 was emergency lang since I had spotting nga…

9:45 am

I’m in the clinic already though my appointment is at 10:15 pa… but they ask for my urine sample then screening ulit (vital signs)…

After 30 minutes I met the doctor na, so interview na naman (feeling artista)… I told her everything, even my ultrasound outside the hospital… and I asked her if I can have an ultrasound that day to check on my baby’s condition and yung SCH na rin… so I had my ultrasound… Dr. Najla found out na nandoon pa rin yung bleeding she advised me to be more careful sa mga kilos ko… and I should be seeing a consultant na raw since my pregnancy is high risk plus I have a heart surgery history…

I was referred to a male OB, and schedule to have an appointment after 2 weeks.  When I told Botbot about it….

Tintin: My labs, sabi ng doctor dapat daw OB Consultant na  yung tumingin sa akin, dapat daw mamonitor talaga yung pregnancy.  Ni-refer nya ako kay Dr. Salim.

Botbot: Eh di sige, ano ba yun lalaki?

Tintin: Oo, Dr. Fahad Salim

Botbot: Wala bang babae?

Tintin: Eh yun ang sabi eh, magaling daw yun.

Botbot: Okay…

Tintin: (Bakit nga kaya di na lang babae no para mas maka-relate kami sa isa’t-isa)

So I phoned my nurse friend who’s working in IVF Unit… I told her that I had my check up and I was referred to Dr. Salim. 

Tintin: Kilala mo ba si Dr. Salim?

Ate Jinky: Oo, magaling nga yun kaya lang matanda na.

Tintin: Meron ka bang female OB na magaling din.

Ate Jinky: Meron naman, 2 yun eh (she even asked her colleagues)

Tintin: Yung pwede sa Business Center ah.

Ate Jinky: Pwede yun.  Magaling pareho yun pero mas okay si Dr. Sherbenee kaya lang old maid and mejo masungit…

Tintin: Erase nay un, hirap naman ng masungit na OB, baka instead na ma-relax ka during your check up ma-stress ka pa…

Ate Jinky: Then go ka kay Dr. Maysoon, magaling din and mabait.

Tintin: Okay, pa-appointment na lang ako… Thank you.

So on my next check up, hopefully, I’ll meet na talaga the OB nagmagpapaanak sa akin….

Till our next adventure

Here’s the whole story…

March 5, 4-4:30p, Botbot’s house

While Botbot and I were busy watching TV, mejo may fever na si Botbot nito, nakita nmin doon sa isang scene that Kris Bernal did a HPT (home pregnancy test) and it was positive sabi ko kay Botbot na magtest din kaya ako since I’m already delayed for 5 days, I was hesitant pa cause before I was delayed for 10 days pero nung magtetest na ako the following day biglang nagkaroon ako, pero sabi ni Botbot try lang then I said why not since libre naman yung HPT (courtesy of my cousin, Aiza, before ako umuwi ng Pinas)… so I did the test, while sitting in the toilet bowl si Botbot naman was holding the HPT wrapper, tinitignan yung instructions, the HPT we used was a strip-type, you have to dip the strip into a container where your urine is placed, a little bit complicated unlike the one in Pinas na you just drop a urine then voila after a few minutes may result na… okay back to the testing, so ako mega-dip naman ng HPT strip (while still sitting in the toilet bowl) then 1 line appeared….

Botbot: Invalid na…

Tintin: ‘Di pa…

So I dipped it more kasi mejo mababaw yung container na nakuha nmin…

…then another line appeared, mejo blurred lang sya ng konti.

I was still hesitant kung positive ba talaga until mag-appear na talaga yung 2^nd line

Tintin: “Mylabs, oh!!!”

Botbot: (ayun nangiti lang at tulala)

Tintin: Positive!?!?!? (nyaaaa!!! Naiyak na!)

We’re a bit doubtful so I suggest we repeat the test the following morning…

Tintin: Ligo lang ako then bili tayo ng HPT sa Mercury…

Botbot: Di ba meron ka pa jan…

Tintin: Gusto ko Filipino version… hehehe!!!

Tintin: Wag ka munang maingay di pa naman tayo sure eh…

On our way to Mercury Drug pareho kaming tahimik sa sasakyan… pero pareho ring nakangiti…

Pagdating sa Mercury, I immediately went to the counter, aba ang Botbot nagpunta sa mga feeding bottle…heller… di naman sya masyadong excited…

After Mercury, we passed by sa mga lola ni Botbot, one of his tita asked us if wala pa ba, we didn’t answer, ngiti lang… bigla pang sinabi na pagnakababy kami for sure maputi kasi maputi daw kami pareho… again ngitian lang kami ni Botbot…

8:00pm

Evening time sa bahay… we were all watching TV, di na naman mapakali si Botbot, actually nawala nga yung fever nya eh…

Tintin: Gusto mo na bang sabihin kila mommy?

Botbot: Ikaw?

I gave him the HPT then he handed over to his mom…

Botbot: ‘My oh… (sabay abot)

Mommy: (tulala din (mana sa anak)) sabi na nga ba eh, hinihintay ko kasing magkaroon si Tintin, pansin ko since dumating kayo di pa sya nagkakaroon…

Daddy: (nakatingin lang din… tulala...)

(Ang pamilya tulala)

Tintin: ‘Di pa po sure yan, ulitin namin bukas ng umaga…

Mommy: Sana totoo na ito…

Before matulog, pray muna kami, thanking Him for this blessing and syempre asking na sana totoo na…

Botbot: Wag kana kaya magtest bukas kasi baka magnegative (weird noh!)

Tintin: Pagnagtest ako di kita gigisingin… ako lang mag-isa…

Bedtime na!

March 6, 4:00am, Bathroom

Aga kong gumising, I went to the bathroom agad to have the second HPT…

Mejo kinakabahan din na baka nga false alarm lang…

Yet, I went on with the test…

Woooahhhh….. POSITIVE pa rin!!!

Went back sa kwarto, ginising ko si Botbot…

Tintin: Ayan kambal ang anak mo… dalawang positive na!!!

Botbot: (nakangiti na naman)  punta na tayo mamaya sa OB ah…

Tintin: Okay! Tulog ulit tayo…

Ang future tatay di na ulit nakatulog…

7:00 am

Gising na pero nakahiga pa rin…

Tintin: Anong feeling mo? Masaya ka ba?

Botbot: Hindi…

Tintin: Bakit?!!?

Botbot: Di ako nakatulog?

7:30 am

Breakfast na!

Tintin: Tawagan mo na sila daddy (ang aking tatay), sabihin mo na…

Botbot: Nahihiya ako eh!!!

Tintin: Ikaw dapat magsabi kasi nung nabuntis si Ann si Elmer ang nagsabi so now ikaw ang dapat magsabi…

Walang nagawa si Botbot… tinawagan din sila daddy…

Botbot: Dy, dadalhin ko po sa doctor si Tintin…

Ang tatay ko naman akala kung anong nangyari….

Botbot: Kasi po nagtest si Tintin eh positive po…

According to Botbot ang tanging nasabi lang ng tatay ko ay “Good, good, good”

8:00 am

Prepare na for our first visit to my OB.

On our way to the doctor (which is btw, mga 10-15mins away from our house) aba may dalawa na agad akong natanggap na text from my sisters…

Di naman masyadong excited ang aking tatay at naipamalita na sa buong sambayanan…

9:30 am, Dr. Moreno’s Clinic

We informed Dr. Moreno about the 2 tests we did, so she did an IE, from there she confirmed that I’m pregnant (si mister, di mapigil ang ngiti)… Dr. Moreno asked me about the first day of my LMP (last menstrual period)… then nagcompute na sya… yaaaahooo! I’m 5weeks & 2 days pregnant then… my due date daw is on Nov 8 (malapit na!! ;))…

On our way home sabi namin we can happily announce it na since confirm na… aba di na pala need at mas excited pa ang mga lolo & lola, once they knew na confirm na nga ayun spread na good news na…

Eto lang muna…

More of our mom& dad-to-be’s adventures in the coming days…
