Oh Girl, Oh Girl.. It's a Boy!!

We’re having a baby BOY! Yohooo!!! At exactly 18 moths hindi naman ako masyado excited at nagpa ultrasound na agad care of my sister in law (para tipid). We saw our precious baby super likot at liit palang nya sabi nga ni daddy nya panay sipa at galaw ng braso ni baby.. Our baby didn’t give us a hard time to see his gender. Parang he’s so proud pa and telling me “Hey Mommy, I’m a boy!”.



Mukhang nagpee pa ata si baby at nakita agad ang pototoy nya..Both of us we’re so happy.. Although any gender naman basta healthy at normal ok na ok syempre sa amin ni hubby. Now, I’m not wondering why there is brown marks on my under arms and neck.. Pag ganon daw baby boy nga, even on my first trimester I could feel that we’re having a baby boy… Or positive vibes lang siguro, or is it because of the Chinese Calendar?


Anak mas malaki ka ata than the usual weight for your age..


Anyways, kahit ano pa man we are both happy! Now we're on our halfway, I could feel his soft kicks, parang may fish tuloy sa tummy ko..I really love to feelhis kicks unexpectedly..It’s really a miracle! Now we are thinking what name will be given to our little baby Boy.. Will he be the next Larry???

Pregnancy at 15th weeks

Happy 15th week anak! Congratulations we passed the 1st trimester, the most critical part of pregnancy as they said.. Yesterday we had check up, lola nimfa accompanied us because daddy needs to go for work. I'm so happy again hearing your heartbeat! Good Job anak! 25 weeks or less we will be seeing you na and I'm so much excited na.. Anak, even if mommy is having this pains I'm praying na sana ok ka lang din dyan. Let's pray na wag tayo mahirapan, akala ko 2nd trimester will be easy na for us,but pregnancy is different for every woman.. basta ok ka.. ok si mommy ha.. I know you were kicking na kaso you are still small and I can't feel it yet. But daddy and I were so excited to feel your kicks.. Just enjoy staying at mommy's tummy.. See you soon.. I love you!

Pregnancy @7th weeks

In Whattoexpect website it says that our Baby's Limbs develop.




I need to go back to my OB for the update since I had a light spotting on my 6th weeks...
Bongga! Nakakatuwa ang laki na ni Little J parang kelan lang gestational sac palang sya..
Si hubby di nakasama kasi may binili nun tinawag na ako.. Ganda ng heartbeat ni baby 2x sakin pinarinig ni Doc.. 154 bpm na ang heartbeat nya this time.. Kaya pala minsan parang may nararamdaman ako pumipitik sa bandang butt ko..assuming!!hahaha..
Stop na ako sa follic acid and new set na ang vitamins ko. I am now taking Iberet (Iron supplement) and OB Max. I'll be back on Oct 27 for the next check up..
Mamimiss ko ata ang bebe ko.. Kung pwede lang every other day ma check up ako at makita ko ulit sya.. kaso may kamahalan din, kelangan namin mag ipon for my delivery.


I asked kung ano ba yung maliit na bilog sa ultrasound, I though yun ang ulo ni baby..sabi ni Dra, gestational sac daw yun.. Kalaro daw ni baby, parang plastic baloon daw nya..hahaha..

My OB asked me then san daw ako manganganak.. Hindi ko masagot agad.. Sa Medical City lang daw kasi sya nagpapaanak.. Oh my Gulay! She gave me a quotation kaso need pa din mag isip isip baka mabaon kmi sa utang what if lumobo ang bill namen at di makalabas sa TMC dahil sa taas ng bill..Wahhh. Kawindang!

Pregnancy Kwento @6 Weeks

I had a light bleeding, kala ko normal discharge lang. I am bit worried so I texted my OB, and I need to see her bukas na bukas din. Ang aga pa namin nagpunta ni hubby 4PM nasa Glorietta na kami dahil gusto ko na talga magpacheck up but sad to say 530PM pa daw dadating si Dra..
So sabi ko gutom na gutom na ako (madalas ako magutom simula ng buntis ako) I want to eat Cheese Burger ng Mcdo (yun ata kasi napapaglihihan ko).. Grabe sarap na sarap ako sa cheeseburger and bigla ko naisip I want to eat spaghetti pa!! Kaso ang haba ng pila, ang asawa ko tamad tumayo at pumila ulit.. Then sabi ko.. Umuwi na tayo, di na ako magpapacheck up.. (Taray dba?) Until nakarating kami sa bahay.. at iniisip ko pa din ang spaghetti na sana nakain ko na..pagka dating palang namen lumapit na ako sa nanay at tatay ko.. "Mama, Papa nag spotting ako.. di pa ako nakakain ng spaghetti..huhuhuhu.." Sa sobra inis ko na at naawa ako sa sarili ko kala ko nakakuha ako kakampi.. Yun pala tatawanan lang ako ng parents ko! Amff!!! Natawa na lang din ako..hahaha.. Sabi ni mama bumalik na lang daw ako mmaya sa OB, magpacheck up pa din ako..
Dahil sa mga relatives na nagtatanong kung nakapagpacheck up na daw ako at ano na daw ang status ni baby.. Napilitan na din kami magpacheck up..medyo nakalma na din naman ako..hehe.. Sakto pagdating namen sa The Link IMW kami na next patient.. Ni TransV ulit ako ni Doc..First time na sumama si Jet sa akin sa loob ng clinic pagultrasond ko.. Dra.Shiela: "Ayan na si baby mo oh. Check natin ang heartbeat" Hanggang sa narinig namin heartbeat ni baby.. Sobrang saya, then seeing my hubby na nakasmile.. It's priceless!!! Naniniwala na siguro sya na preggy na nga ako.. haha..
Ganda daw ng heartbeat ni baby at 6weeks 152 bpm ang heartrate nya.. nakaka adik pakinggan..hehe


My OB advised me to take 1 week leave for bedrest.
Hanggang sa umuwi na kami na sobrang saya na.. Nawala na din ang sumpong ko.. Si baby lang talga ang gamot sa akin..

Our Wedding Anniversary

It's been a year since I married my boyfriend, bestfriend, best pal,best partner..
It was just last year Sept 12, 2009 and all the wedding memories were still fresh on my mind. After having many plans where to celebrate our anniversary we end up staying at home.. Why? Because of my pregnancy, I prayed for this and I promised to take care of the teenyweeny on my tummy. We planned to celebrate at Tagaytay or in Batangas (I miss the beach!) kaso 1 week to go na lang I still could not decide parang nag aalangan ako.. There's a good reason pala bakit di matutuloy.
Jet and I simply had a dinner at Crustasia. Eat all you can for P499! Not bad because they serve lots of seafoods and yum yum naman ang mga foods! Crabs are so yummy!! We ordered their fruit juices kaso wala na daw so they gave us a free 2 bottomless Icedtea!yebah!



I asked Jet where is his gift to me, he answered: Ayan na oh si baby sa tummy mo,gift ko sayo".. Ok sabi ko, sya din ang gift ko sayo..hehe.. Our Anniversary gift is the best gift we received,it's priceless!

Pregnancy Confirmed! Happy Birthday Mama Mary!!

It was Sept 08, Mama Mary's Birthday. It was also the day for me to visit Doc Shiela my Ob Gyne at IMW. I worked undertime since she texted me that she's in hurry for a patient in labor. Si Jet susunod din daw for my check up, he still could not believe.. He wants a proof baka daw kasi dinaya ko lang ang pregnancy test..hahaha.. It's my turn after waiting for an hour and half.. I'm for ultrasound to check kung pregnant nga..
I'm nervous and excited.. And then Doc Shiela seen a tiny circle in my uterus.. and said "Bakla buntis ka nga! Teka hanapin natin kung may kakambal.. Wala kakambal bakla. But it's confirmed that you are pregnant and hindi nasa labas or ectopic ang pregnancy mo"
I still can't believe after seeing my OB wrote: Confirmed Pregnant! Yahooo!!!




I'm 7 days delayed that time, but baby measures 4Weeks and 1Day old palang. I'll be back on my 6th week to confirm for the heartbeat!

After my check up, Jet immediately asked for the result.. Tinititigan nya mabuti..sabi ko yan si baby kaso sobra liit pa lang nya and sac palang sya.. Sabi nya..nakikita ko na nga mga arms and legs nya.. Toinks! haha.. Excited ata ang daddy.. After that, we hear mass and give thanks to Mama Mary for showering us a baby on her birthday and to Papa God for answering our prayers.

Everything happens in Gods time talaga.. God's plan is perfect than what we expected!

We're no longer TTC!

Since July 2010 I started my workup with my new OB Gyne Dra. Shiela Jane Illescas of In My Womb. I had several blood tests and she prescribed me Clomid then gave us schedule of baby dance but during my CD17, I had severe back and pelvic pain. My prime suspect is UTI so I have to go for urinalysis, good thing there is a medical diagnostic in front of our office. After getting the result and the pain was no longer tolerable I urgently went home and rushed to the hospital. Positive UTI nga, hays.. Sayang ang Clomid intakes ko.. But I'm still hoping na mapreggy na nga din but come on August 3 I had my visit.. Oh well, next cycle na lang ulit. Again another cycle of clomid, follicle monitoring, duphaston.. Another cyle of gastos in short.. This time CD16 ko na ang first follicle monitoring ko which I think nagburst na ang egg ko kaso on my ultrasound wala pa nagburst but I had 2 matured eggs! Yahhoooo!!! 1.8cm on left and 2.2cm on right first time may nagmature na follicles on my both ovaries. After that I was injected with Pregnyl para magburst yung follicle and gave us our schedule with time of baby dance. We follow Doc Shiela's advice..



But on my CD18, I am not feeling well again and encountering back pain with slight fever. I have to rest and asked my brother to massage my back and my legs. I felt helpless that time.. I cried and asked Lord for forgiveness.."Lord sorry po kung makulit ako, inuunahan ko ang plan nyo para sa amin.. Siguro nga po hindi pa right time. I'll wait na lang po Lord for your blessing, titigil na po ako sa pagpapagamot and put all my trust in You. Suko na po ako.. Sorry po Lord.. May your wish come true! I love you! " After that silent prayer while I'm in our rooftop, sabi ko sa sarili ko.. ayoko na mag isip about TTC.. promise talga.. I'll love my husband more and spoil ko na lang muna sarili ko and give financial assistance to my cousins kesa mapunta sa mga fertility meds na ubod ng mahal and which may cause negative effects on my body.

A week after, we went to my husband's province, I want to relax and unwind.. Wala na akong paki alam kahit malayo ang byahe..ang nasa isip ko na lang non ibibigay kung ibibigay kung hindi, di pa.. I prayed na lang sabi ko "Lord iiwas nyo po sana ako sa mga taong magtatanong kung bakit wala pa, Please give me more patience Lord. I love you"
Lord, heard my prayers wala nga nagtanong sa amin na relatives ni hubby, especially my inlaws they never asked. I guess ayaw na nila siguro kami ma pressure or ma hurt.. I enjoyed staying there, we eat a lot of good and fresh foods then makipaglaro sa mga pamangkin ni hubby.. My hubby’s parent were so religious every Sunday we hear mass at their local Church. As I was seating besides my hubby his little pamangkin named Timothy went to me and sit on my lap..
That was the first time na lumapit at kumandong sya sa akin, which I thought he will go to his tito (my hubby).. During that moment I silently prayed while Tim was sitting on my lap. I whispered to God:
“Lord bigyan mo din po kami ng Little Tim” and then bigla ako napaisip.. Ang kulit ko na naman ata ah.. sabi ko di na nga ako mangungulit..hehe.. Then again I whispered: “Lord sorry po ulit makulit na naman ako..hehe”

After our 4 days vacation, we went back to Manila. I am expecting to have my visit on that time. Kaso wala pa, feeling ko padating na nga since I am having some dysmenorrhea which is more painful than the usual. After 2 days I’m still delayed, kaso naisip ko baka delayed lang mag react ngaun si duphaston.. Until 7 days but my period wasn’t shown yet. My TTC friends insisted me mag pregtest na nga, kaso I am doubtful and afraid to see a negative result again.. Nakakapagod din kasi at nakakadepress.. But then I tried that was Sept 7 after getting home I used a Pregnancy Test Kit. As I was dropping my urine I closed my eyes and prayed to the Lord: Kaw na po bahala.. Kung maging negative po ulit naiintindihan kop o Lord”. Then when I opened my eyes I’ve only seen 1 line, but wait there’s a super light line below. I dropped some urine again.. Viola! I’ve got 2 lines!!! Although medyo malabo pa din ang 1 line. I texted my OB immediately.. Kahit medyo nanginginig pa ako and medyo teary eyed. I can’t believe it! My OB replied: “Preggy ka na nyan! See me tom Yahooo!!!!!” I waited for my hubby to arrive. I’m so excited for him to share the good news!


Then he came.. sabi ko may papakita pala ako sayo..

Joan: Magiging Tatay ka na! (Showing him the BFP Preg test)
Jet: Weehhhh, di nga?
Joan: Yup
Jet: Ngayon lang ba nagka double line pag nag pregtest ka?
Joan: Yup! Tara kain na tayo maghahanda na ako pagkain.
Jet: Sandali lang..Nakabuntis pala ako? (Habang nakatulala)
Joan: Yup nakabuntis ka nga..hehe
Jet: Ibig sabihin sa May ka pala manganganak
Joan: Tomorrow confirm natin, magpapacheck up ako kay OB

Natawa na lang ako, naisip at nagcount na sya kelan lalabas si baby..Natulala pa ang asawa ko.. di makapaniwala nakabuo na din kami. Hahaha..

Office Boredom

I still have 1 hour to go. I'm excited to go home since it's Friday. As a usual housewife I am thinking what to prepare for dinner or are we going to dine out again?Hmmm..
I feel bored, imagine working with just 2 people in a room with total of not more 20 staffs in a company. Oh well, hindi ko alam kung happy ba ako maybe simply because di pa nag sink in sa akin since its been three days my closest colleague already leaves the company. Hay.. Ang hirap para tuloy feeling ko eh nahiwalay ako sa bf ko noon..hehe
This is for the second time happened to me since my kumare from my from my previous company leaves me, since wala na din ako ka partner and no longer happy kaya isa din sa reason ko at nagresign ako. And this is for the second time, sabi ko na nga noon ayoko na masyado ma attach sa ofismate. Well, when I came here in my new Company I felt comfort again to a lady who called me SIS.. She's the only first one who called me that way.. Hay..Sya kasama ko everyday, every lunch, ka chat, my secret holder, kakwentuhan, pag starbucks,paglalakad sa hallway at pati na din sa pagshoshopping..

Hay I will and I really missed that girl..
I am praying that she will find a good job and a good partner for her..

Miss you sis, till next bonding natin..

I just wanted to vent out lang..hay.. Did I deserve to have this stress, pressures and all? I am working without any benefits from the company I am working for, pera pera lang ang kapalit.. Ang hirap din pala. I am amaze everytime I am sitting here on my chair which is much comfortable naman I always had a backache, arm ache which spa ang katapat!

Ooppss.. wala pa pla dyan ang pagppaplano for our Laundry, I consider it as a bonding time with my hubby..hehe.. Kuskus piga!

I wanna have one..

Out of busy hours on this day in the office.. I received lot of emails and other task needs to be accomplished then suddenly I think of my friend who got married a month after us. Simple kamustahan I emailed her and to my curiosity to ask how are they as a couple and simple banat na.. Preggy ka na? She quickly replied to my email and very happy that there were no adjustment to them as they have been in relationship for such a long time.. Then telling me that YES.. she's pregnant and turning 6 mos before this month ends..To think that they are just married for 3 mos from today.
Hay.. I felt glad with that good news from a good friend. I could picture how she looks and his husband becoming a proud dad..

After an hour a soon to be mom friend of mine pop me a message and she said she looks good and pretty with her pregnancy while being proud that it's a baby girl..
Oh.. honestly I am feeling envy..

After an hour again I made myself relaxed having Champorado as snack then my team leader got a news that my boss wife was also 2 mos pregnant!Oh wow.. Yes I am happy that they were able to conceive quickly even if they got married near to 40's which here they believe that it is hard to conceive on that age..

And I should forgive myself for being a self pity and should accept more patience.
I am happy for all my friends. I think I should focus more loving my husband and prepare myself to become a mom soon... I am really hoping that this year we will have one also.. I am praying and I know God hears me.. I know HE has plan for us..
