My Birth Month - God's Early Present

April is my 2nd favorite month next to December.

Siempre, this is my birth month.

And God had been so generous to me for giving me early presents.

I am so blessed to have a wonderful husband. Isang napakalaking gift from God talaga ang asawa ako. He's very maalaga, maasikaso, maalalahanin, maunawain, malambing, mapagmahal sa akin at to our baby... Mas lalo ko siya ngayong nakikilala at dahil diyan, mas lalo ko siyang minamahal. Oh, Lord, thank you for my loving, caring, sweet husband.

These past days, I had experience the "LIHI MOMENTS" already, akala ko pa naman, malalampasan ko itong stage na ito, pero hindi pala. Sobrang MASELAN ako etong mga araw. Mas marami akong ayaw kainin, at mas madalas akong di tumapos ng pagkain, dahil ayaw ko na talaga.

One night, 11pm na, I suddenly felt hungry, and I want to eat, husband asked me what I want... Inisa isa niya yung mga gusto kong kinakain, kasi ayaw niya talaga na magugutom ako...sabi niya, gusto daw ba ng burger? pizza? fried chicken? ice cream? spaghetti? pansit? KFC? MCDO? BURGER KING? Rice? sopas? lugaw? pero, lahat NO! halos maubos na ang binabanggit ng Mahal ko, then he mentioned SAGING! ayun! ATLAST, napa OO ako, saging, i want banana, ang kaso, wala na kami stock, so he went to the nearest grocery and bought banana for me... YEHEY! SOLVED... satisfied, I had a GOOD NIGHT SLEEP!

Dami pang mga instances, na nakita ko how supportive, loving and understanding ng husband ko. Kaya, I consider him a Gift from Heaven.

The FIRST MAN IN MY LIFE, my Father. I was busy helping my Father also in his campaign, kasi he is running for Councilor sa aming bayan sa Pilar, Bataan. Wala man ako doon to support him, I make sure, na makatulong ako kahit papano sa pangangampanya sa Tatay ko. Ako ang isa NANINIWALA that HE IS A BORN LEADER, A GOD FEARING LEADER, may malasakit talaga sa bayan, TOTOONG MAGSERBISYO, hindi pansarili lang, kaya kung pano ko siya gustong suportahan, gagawin ko na lng, through my friends ONLINE.

Tay, I know you are excited to be a LOLO already, kaya take care of yourself, wag masyado pakapagod sa pangangampanya, your health is the most important. Love you, and ngayon pa lang, nagpapasalamat na ako sa mga TAONG NAGBIBIGAY ng SUPORTA sa TATAY ko, this is an EARLY BIRTHDAY PRESENT for me.

Another blessing....BABY looks like a human already, my baby is a FETUS already, I had my 2nd Check up today morning, and once again, I saw my baby in the Ultrasound.

I can see the head of my baby, the hands, the body and how our baby moves, naexcite ata si baby dahil alam niyang nakikita namin siya.

Here's the picture of our baby....

Baby is 10 WEEKS and 3 DAYS....nakawrap pa ang isa kong GIFT from God, but I consider our Baby as Early Birthday Present for me. Our baby brings joy to me and Joseph, brings hope, brings laughter, our source of happiness, and excitement.

I lost weight, probably because nga maselan ako sa food, but the Doctor told me it's quite normal, mga 4th month pa, nagmormalize ako when it comes to food intake. On Saturday, i'll be having my laboratory test, to check my blood, hemoglobin, sugar, urine. I hope and pray na normal naman lahat. My BP is always normal, 120/80 salamat sa Lord!

My first trimester is almost complete, kaya on Sunday, normal na ang aking working hours, nafeel ko naman, am healthy enough to do normal duties now, pero siempre, hinay hinay pa din sa extra activities.

What to wish for on my coming birthday?

Lord, simple lang, continue to bless me, husband and baby! Give strength to my Father and victory this coming election.

What is my gift for my God, my Creator?

I will continue to serve Him, with all my heart, with all my soul, and with all my might!

Sa lahat ng may birth month this April, happy birthday to all of us!

Seven Changes on Baby's Seventh Week

Yes!

Baby is 7 weeks already, and according to Pregnancy Health Guru, Dr. Eden Fromberg, I am more connected to my baby—-via a fully formed and functional umbilical cord!

I am so excited for all these developments, and what is happening inside my tummy!

But there are few changes with me, which I already anticipated from the experiences of other moms!

Seven (7) Changes on "Me"

1. My waistline and Hipsline - sobra, 7 weeks pa lng, hindi na kasya ang aking mga pants, both my pants na pamasok and all my jeans....

2. I am so lazy para gumising, before basta mag-alarm, bangon na ako, but now, I will ask Joseph first na bumangon, then dun pa lang ako gigising, madalas tuloy late kami.

3. Being emotional is but normal to me, pero pag ako nagtam po, lalo kay husband, madali lang, but this time, I feel so sorry for baby for crying 2hours straight on my bed, pero hawak hawak ko tummy ko, while crying, telling baby to stay calm and don't mind the dramatic acts of Mommy, ewan ko, but I can't control my emotion. So my friends told Joseph, wag ako pagtampuhin, at suyuin agad.

4. I sleep regularly, 8pm or at most 9pm, except kung meron talagang unavoidable circumstance, and during my practice for church choir and bible study. Aside from that, I won't answer any call, and my mobile is on silent mode, para di na ako maabala sa pagtulog, para tumangkad si baby, hihi!

5. It's more of baby, than "me and us" this time. Sa pagpili ng pagkain namin, we are thinking what is healthy for baby, sa pagbudget, we are now thinking of baby, wala munang gusto ko, gusto ko niyan, kain tayo sa fastfood, kasi the ObGyne advised to avoid eating in fastfood.

Sa office, I always have my food in my drawer, para time to time, i eat little, unlike before, minsan sa dami ng trabaho, lumalampas na ang lunch break, di pa ako kumakain, this time di na pwede, wawa naman si baby.

6. Less gala... Even weekends, nasa bahay lang kami. Di muna kasi pwedeng maglalakad ng malalayo, or mastress within first trimester, ok lang naman sa akin, all for the sake of our baby.

7. Learn to be more patient and to be in a happy mood as always! Kasi, what I feel, mararamdaman niya din, kung puro negative ang feelings, then, ganon din si baby, so, mas makakabuting positive vibes and feelings para always in a good mood din si baby.
