Ang Hirap Matulog…

… lalo na pag wala si Jason sa tabi ko. Yes … 2nd night na ngayon na natutulog ako mag-isa sa bed namin.

As usual, Jason is in Davao again. Pero last na punta na niya to kasi tapos na ang project nila. Actually, hanggang ngayon nasa site pa daw sila kasi may last minute na pinahabol yung client niya. And since gusto na din niya umuwi bukas as well as his laborers, nag-OT sila ngayon … oh di ba! Ang sipag ng asawa ko.

At dahil masipag ang asawa ko, masunurin ako … hindi ako pasaway … as in di talaga ako masyado nagkikikilos, utos ni OB.

Wala gusto tumabi sa akin matulog dahil takot sila na mabangga or masipa nila ako habang natutulog sila because of my tummy. And since under observation ang aking tummy for the past three days because of small contractions eh nag-absent nanaman ang nanay ko sa work para may kasama ako sa bahay. Sweet talaga ng nanay ko hehehe. Mas sweet ang tatay ko kasi siya daw nagsabi kay Mom na wag na pumasok habang si Jason eh nasa Davao.

Baby J is so malikot ngayon, siguro hinihintay nanaman niya na kantahan siya ng Daddy niya. Eh kaso wala naman si Jason, paano na yun? Pero ang narinig niya ngayon eh payong lola ng aking Mommy, na ok lang siya maglikot wag lang muna lalabas hehehe. I’m sure Baby J is so inip na inside me, kasi sometimes I could feel slight sudden pains down there na minsan nakaka-panic lalo na pag nakatayo ako. Yaiks … sign na ba yun?

Teka … bed rest  ako ah … sige hihiga na ako while waiting for Jason to call me good night!

Bed Rest @ 35 Weeks

Your baby doesn’t have much room to maneuver now that he’s over 18 inches long and tips the scales at 5 1/4 pounds (pick up a honeydew melon). Because it’s so snug in your womb, he isn’t likely to be doing somersaults anymore, but the number of times he kicks should remain about the same. His kidneys are fully developed now, and his liver can process some waste products. Most of his basic physical development is now complete — he’ll spend the next few weeks putting on weight.

I had my prenatal check up yesterday. Baby J’s doing fine except that when I was there at the clinic, Napansin ni OB na medyo matigas ang tummy ko. I told her that before kami nagpunta ng clinic, I drank lots of fluid dahil sa sobrang init ng panahon. Sabi niya, hindi daw normal kasi nakahiga na ako eh ganun pa din daw katigas yung tummy ko. She told me that she’ll be doing an IE just to make sure I’m ok.

After hearing Baby J’s heartbeat using a doppler, OB started on the IE. She said that my cervix is close naman and that mataas pa rin ang position ng baby though nakakapa na niya ang mattress or head ng baby (nakalimutan ko kung ano na yung nakakapa niya) … and numinipis na daw ang cervix ko which is normal naman daw for this stage. Since ayaw niya na ma-preterm labor ako eh sabi niya mag-bedrest muna daw ako and take Duvadilan three times a day for a week. Wag daw muna ako masyado maglakad-lakad. Hintayin daw namin mag-37 weeks ako bago niya daw ako paglalakarin hehehe.

Since Jason is in Davao again for three days, si Mom nanaman ang naiwan na mag-alaga sa akin. Hindi siya pinapasok ni Dad. Baka daw kasi kung ano mangyari sa akin dahil wala ako kasama. Hala panic mode ata sila. Hehehe! Without pay na nga si mom eh pero ok lang daw, importante wala mangyayari sa akin masama.

Hay, ang ayaw ko sa lahat yung bed rest … kasi hindi talaga ako makakilos ng maayos. Lagi lang nakahiga at nakaupo … naging pasaway lang ako ngayon at nag-blog ako kasi bored na bored na ako promise!

Nakakita na kami ni Jason ng cabinet for baby J and it’s on sale pa. Best of all, it’s color pink hehehe. Five stacks pa kaya madami talaga mailalagay. Ang saya! Kaso di pa namin binili, kasi next week na daw pagkatapos ng bed rest ko. Sumilip din kami sa mga Baby Couture bags … malalaki palang bag yun … inaawitan ko na si Jason kaso sabi niya wag daw muna ako bumili dahil may Diaper Bag naman na free yung Graco, yun daw muna ang gamitin … fine! Hahaha! He has a point actually, saka lagi ko naman daw siya kasama pag lalabas kami nila baby J. Siya naman daw taga-buhat ng bag hehehe.

Hay … sige … have to lie down again have a nice day!

Baby J @ 34 Weeks

Your baby now weighs about 4 3/4 pounds (like your average cantaloupe) and is almost 18 inches long. Her fat layers — which will help regulate her body temperature once she’s born — are filling her out, making her rounder. Her skin is also smoother than ever. Her central nervous system is maturing and her lungs are continuing to mature as well. If you’ve been nervous about preterm labor, you’ll be happy to know that babies born between 34 and 37 weeks who have no other health problems generally do fine. They may need a short stay in the neonatal nursery and may have a few short-term health issues, but in the long run, they usually do as well as full-term babies.

Kahit sinabi nila na safe manganak from this period onwards … eh naku gusto ko pa din husto sa gulang ang anak ko. Kaya nga everytime nagkakaroon siya ng baby contractions eh kinakausap siya lagi ni Jason, “Baby, mga 3 weeks pa wag ka muna lalabas” hehehe! Kasi sabi nila pag 37 weeks na pwede na lumabas ang baby na di na masasabi na premature.

I thank the Lord for He has blessed as so much this year. Madaming projects si hubby and at the same time we’re preparing to be parents for our baby J. I still keep on praying and thanking Him for everything. I just hope He keeps my family safe as always, good health and more happiness. Ilayo Niya kami sa mga taong masama ang intention sa amin. I hope He always keeps us more stronger than before.

And sana lumabas ang katotohanan sa mga bagay-bagay na dini-deny. At sana matauhan ang mga tao sa mga pinaggagagawa nilang akala nila ay tama pero super duper uber MALI naman talaga at ibabaling pa sa mga tao na nagmamalasakit sa kanila at sila pa ang napapasama. Help them Lord, please.

Me and My New Look

Ok, nevermind my big face (I’m so big na talaga). I had my haircut yesterday before we went to Emon’s birthday party for his three children (tatlo silang April ipinanganak). Treat sa akin ito ng aking loving hubby … may kasama pang foot spa yan. While I’m having my foot spa, nalaman ko na my legs and feet minamanas na huhuhu. Kaya pala lately parang lalo siyang lumaki. Waaaaaaaahhhh!

Jason had his haircut as well … yung haircut na tulad kay John Pratts minus the buntot ha. Bagay naman sa kanya pero he’s not that comfortable with his new look … hindi lang siya sanay … hahaha! I’ll take pictures of him pag pumayag na siya… ayaw niya magpakuha ng pics he hahaha!

Super ikli na ng hair ko, madali na i-blower (sabay ganun eh no?) eh kasi I’m sure pag di blinower yan eh bubuhaghag nanaman yan hahaha. Super gaan ng ulo ko as if wala akong buhok hahaha! I so love it kahit makita na katabaan ng mukha ko, I don’t care hahaha!

Since nasa birthday party kami, we get the chance to see some of our friends na rin na medyo matagal na din namin di nakikita. Last na kita ata namin was last December pa. Once na may kumakanta sa videoke galaw na ng galaw si Baby J … hindi ko alam kung gusto niya yung kumakanta o naiirita siya. Mega eat galore kami ha … at tuwang tuwa ang Baby J … kasi ang dami kasi food … parang di na ata kami tumitigil sa kakalamon. And isa pa, Jason let me drink a glass of Coke Zero hehehe … para daw di ako ma-impatso at dumighay naman daw ako hahaha. Thanks Labs mwah!

Wow, umuulan ngayon … may bagyo daw eh … naku sana magtuloy-tuloy ang ulan para naman lumamig ang panahon. Kasi kahit umuulan ang init pa din eh huhuhu.

Baby J @ 33 weeks

This week your baby weighs a little over 4 pounds (heft a pineapple) and has passed the 17-inch mark. He’s rapidly losing that wrinkled, alien look and his skeleton is hardening. The bones in his skull aren’t fused together, which allows them to move and slightly overlap, thus making it easier for him to fit through the birth canal. (The pressure on the head during birth is so intense that many babies are born with a conehead-like appearance.) These bones don’t entirely fuse until early adulthood, so they can grow as his brain and other tissue expands during infancy and childhood.

Yesterday marks baby J’s 33th week. She’s doing fine according to her latest ultrasound. And my OB told me that the results were all OK. She’s beginning to position herself already. Coz I told my OB that sometimes I get to feel na medyo mabigat sa puson area na parang something is malalaglag down there. She told me na Baby J’s starting to get ready for birth, she’s already trying to position herself to possible exits sa kinalalagyan niya. Pero I don’t have to worry naman daw kasi bumabalik din naman siya sa dati niyang pwesto.

Hindi pumasok ang mom ko because na-hospital siya because of bronchitis. Na-discharge naman na siya nung Monday pero she decided she’ll go to work next Monday nalang para makapahinga ng todo. Yah right… makapahinga ka diyan, Mom … eh puro shopping ginawa mo.

After going to my OB yesterday, my mom and I went to the mall. Sinamahan ako ng mommy ko sa doctor kasi wala si Jason, nasa Davao ulit. Hindi sinasadya ni Jason na hindi makasama sa prenatal check up ko. Nataon lang na mataas ang pamasahe going to Davao ng Thursday kaysa sa Wednesday. Kaya napilitan siya na kunin na ang flight ng Wednesday kaysa ng Thursday. Next prenatal check up ko daw kasama na siya … aba dapat lang eh malapit na kaya ako manganak.

As usual, pag kasama ko ang nanay ko, isa lang ibig sabihin nun … shopping!!! Ano nanaman ba ang binili ko? I bought 2 sandals from Charcoal and Figlia (sale kasi), 2 preggy polo shirts (I so love the color), 1 white preggy capri pants, toiletries needed in the hospital, nursing bra, bigkis for baby J (sabi ni mom kailangan daw eh), nursing pads (I bought the disposable ones muna) and underwear (yes… I feel the need to buy new ones …). I bought Jason some underwear as well. Would you believe ako bumibili ng underwear niya? hehehe! I’m not embarrassed kasi lahat ng binibili ko for him nagugustuhan niya. Hay sana di ako pagalitan ni Jason sa sobra kong gastos hehehe.

I’m almost done packing my hospital bag … bale gamit nalang ni Jason ang kulang. Baby J’s stuffs were already in her own bag last week pa. This week I’m also having my haircut. It’s already getting dry and I feel uncomfortable already dahil sobrang init ng panahon. Hindi palang ako decided kung anong length? Gusto ko sana yung wash and wear na haircut nalang kasi I’m sure when baby J’s out already eh wala na ako time masyado para magpaganda. Kaso problema ko wavy hair ako … eh baka naman mukhang buhaghag lagi ang hair ko pag maikli hahahaha. Bahala na si Batman!

This is really getting exciting already! Lapit na!

Hope to see you all there!

I Miss Him

Oh I so miss my hubby so much. He’s now in Davao and will be staying there for 3 days. May project kasi siya dun at hindi niya pwede pabayaan hanggang hindi settled lahat ng materyales pati na mga tao niya. Sleepless nights nanaman ito. I’m sure si Baby J din di masyado makakatulog. Minsan pa naman pag mag-isa lang ako sa bed eh natatakot ako matulog mag-isa. Di bale, on ko nalang yung aircon para malamig, para tulog agad hehehe.

Baby J @ 32 weeks

By now, your baby weighs 3.75 pounds (pick up a large jicama) and is about 16.7 inches long, taking up a lot of space in your uterus. You’re gaining about a pound a week and roughly half of that goes right to your baby. In fact, she’ll gain a third to half of her birth weight during the next 7 weeks as she fattens up for survival outside the womb. She now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz). Her skin is becoming soft and smooth as she plumps up in preparation for birth.

8 more weeks to go and hello to Baby J. Her movements now is more different than before. It’s not just simple kicks but now we could see my whole tummy moving as if Baby J is dancing. Nakakatuwa sobra, minsan nga nagugulat pa ako sa mga movements niya. I could feel na it’s getting nearer and nearer na … pinag-iingat na nila ako ngayon kasi 8 months na ako. Delikado daw manganak ng 8 months … mas ok pa daw ang 7 months … hmmm … bat kaya?

My fellow W@Wie turned N@Wie and Discovery Weekend classmate Pittipat shared to me her list of things needed in the hospital, stuffs that I should pack inside my hospital bag.  Konti nalang pala ang kailangan ko … here’s the list: bath towel, toiletries (betadine feminine wash, deodorant, cologne, shampoo, soap, shampoo, toothbrush, toothpaste, toilet paper), Make-up kit (face powder, lip gloss, oil blotting paper), button top nightgown, cellphone, breast pads, nursing bra, going home outfit, maternity napkins, panties, wallet

As for baby J’s hospital bag we need:  baby book, 2 pairs of booties or socks, 1 going home clothes, 2 sets of mittens, 2 receiving blankets, 2 rooming in clothes (top and bottom), feeding bottle just in case formula fed, breastpump to stimulate your breast for milk, bonnet.

Actually di pa ako nag-start mag-pack pero almost done na pala ako, ilalagay ko nalang sa bag. Maybe I’ll start later. Wag muna ngayon super init pa eh, nakakulong nanaman ako  sa aircon room. Tsk!

As much as I wanted to feel happy eh I can’t … may family problem kasi na nangyayari ngayon sa bahay. Hindi pa napag-uusapan ng lahat ang situation kaya medyo na-aabsorb ko ang problema. Good thing Baby J always keeps me sane and tells me that everything going to be fine. Gusto ko lang matapos na ang problema para wala ng samaan ng loob. Pero hindi ko na muna siya masyado iniisip dahil ayoko magkaproblema ako kay baby J pagdating ng araw.

Nga pala… about the PS2 thing, panandalian ligaya lang pala siya … well, yesterday my Kuya over used it. Sabi kasi pag ginamit mo ng 4 hours kailangan ipahinga mo muna ng at least an hour bago mo ulit siya gamitin. Madali daw uminit kasi yung unit … para lang di masira … hindi ata naniniwala ang kuya ko dun so sinagad niya kahapon. It made bunso pissed kaya ngayon nakatago ang PS2 … pati tuloy ako nadamay … di ko na magamit. Talking about discipline and respect to ones things. Ayan … balik PC nanaman ako. Life nga naman … minsan unfair …
