The 'bump '

Family and friends, I now officially have a 'bump'!

Mais

After some packing last Sunday, we were all tired (well, in reality, only the hubs got tired coz he did all the packing, I just watched while lying on the couch, lol!)

We took a nap and after waking up asked me kung anong gusto kong kainin and offered to buy for me... 

He was hesitant to buy raw, concerned that the itsura of the mais could have an effect on the appearance of the baby, baka raw maging batik-batik, hahaha!

In effect, he was thinking I'd get disappointed pag wala siyang nabili so, he went ahead buying in spite of...

Food cravings? Hmmmm!!!

I believe I'm lucky and blessed to have an easy pregnancy just like I had with Gabe almost 16 years ago... During the first trimester, I didn't/don't experience the usual morning sickness and vomiting, the crankiness and mood swings, the food cravings, although I'd think of a certain food on a whim, like the time I can't stop thinking about LUMPIANG SHANGHAI or spring roll and what do you know, when we went to IKEA they have it!

And I've been eating 2 corns a day...

I don't eat too much rice now, I eat coco balls ( cereal) with lots of milk anytime of the day... And everytime I go to the groceries, I only buy fruits, like the other day I saw sliced pineapples and ate it on the way home :-)

Dreams

July 15, 2014

Had my first dream about the baby, it was moving like crazy inside my belly and it was showing off like a pear-shaped thingy... Funny!

What I did today... Went to Tian Bei to look for the Notary Public office, took the taxi to and from there... Then went to Sitic Bldg near KK Mall... Need to take Gabe's birth certificate... Will come back tomorrow...

For reals!

I remember writing this down in a Facebook post at the start of the new year...

And what do you know? 

We are pregnant! 

The Lord never ceases to amaze me! 

To backtrack a little, we've been trying for the last 3 years (since 2011) and was not successful, and just when we thought we're done, just when we thought we'll only have an only child, just when wedecided to stop trying, God decides na mag-PASABOG! It's like we plan and God laughs! Haha, galing ni Lord talaga! And what perfect timing it was..

 God's time is really the perfect time... Can't argue with that...

Side note: For 2 months, i have missed my period and apart from the fact that I am having constant pain at even the slightest touch and swelling in my breasts, I did not experience anything at all... Everything was normal with my body, the hubs has been urging me to take the pregnancy test kit which we had lying around in our bathroom which we bought 3 years ago (it was that old so I figured it's way past the effective date, and sure enough expired na nga!), i took the test anyway and it registered two red lines but since expired na nga, we want to take another test just to make sure...

And it's CONFIRMED! Another unexpected blessing... Thank you Lord!
