Here’s my picture taken last Sunday on my 3rd month of pregnancy at my cousin’s 7th birthday party in Makati. I wonder if its just the dress I’m wearing but my pregnancy is starting to be oh so obvious don’t you think? I think so too! I bet in a matter of weeks, I could no longer fit in the lingerie pieces I have to my husband’s dismay. LOL!
Exactly today, I am on my 12th week which explains why I’m starting to feel better and gets to blog often.
Here’s how my baby is growing according to Babycenter …
The most dramatic development this week: Reflexes. Your baby’s fingers will soon begin to open and close, his toes will curl, his eye muscles will clench, and his mouth will make sucking movements. In fact, if you prod your abdomen, your baby will squirm in response, although you won’t be able to feel it. His intestines, which have grown so fast that they protrude into the umbilical cord, will start to move into his abdominal cavity about now, and his kidneys will begin excreting urine into his bladder.
Meanwhile, nerve cells are multiplying rapidly, and in your baby’s brain, synapses are forming furiously. His face looks unquestionably human: His eyes have moved from the sides to the front of his head, and his ears are right where they should be. From crown to rump, your baby-to-be is just over two inches long (about the size of a lime) and weighs half an ounce.
My pregnancy has definitely caused some setbacks on our family’s travel plans. That is one thing I am so sure about. Not that I feel bad though. After all, having a second baby is what we have been hoping and praying for for the longest time now. And now that I really am pregnant, we can’t be any happier even if we have to give up most of our planned trips including attending my sister in law’s graduation at The University of Florida. She is graduating with a Doctorate degree in Pharmacy in no time and we are so proud of her. She finally made it! She will soon be joining the workforce and will start earning dollars, haha. As I have heard, she has been getting offers from various companies as early as now. One offer from Austin is said to be too hard to resist so she is considering working there as a place to stay in is no problem at all after she found out that condos in Austin are very reasonably priced and easy to find at the #1 residential real estate team in Austin by the Austin Business Journal - Goldwasser Real Estate.
To my dear sister in law, wherever and whatever you choose to do, we are all behind you. Even if you would want to get married first and have kids! Para naman may pinsang buo na si Sophia! LOL.
Isn’t she adorable? 
This photo was taken last Friday at Asian Hospital while we were waiting for my OB. I had my 2nd pre-natal check up you see and so far so good. I had another ultrasound and Sophia was so stunned to see her “baby brother” on the ultrasound monitor kicking and the like. She was so happy! I was happy to see a little baby inside me too - again. We can’t wait for baby “bullet” to arrive.
On to me, I lost weight! A total of two kilos in a month. I told you, if you see me now, you’d never guess I’m pregnant and would even probably think I am taking the most sought after prescription diet pill on the market today which is what they call generic Phentermine. Hay, I really wish I’d get back my healthy appetite soon. I am getting quite worried you know.
To my fellow buntis, how are all of you? Any new developments?
From the day I found out I was pregnant, I stopped carrying my daughter Sophia who weighs a hefty 50lbs. I told her the reason why and she never complained until today.
This morning, in a very paawa voice, she said “Mommy, when you are not pregnant anymore, can you please carry me again? I miss you carrying me already…..”
What she said broke my heart. I wanted to cry. Is it just my hormones or what?
While I was waiting inside my OB’s clinic last week for my very 1st prenatal check up, I saw a very popular celebrity go inside the adjoining beauty clinic for some botox treatment. How did I know? I eavesdropped! Something I am very good at, LOL. I wonder if this is the sole reason for her un-aging beauty over the years unless she was getting Botox for migraines which is being offered now at The New York Headache Center. Nah, I don’t think so. I have nothing against cosmetic remedies for aging, I just didn’t expect this certain celebrity to be into it. I think you are dying to find out who, message me! HAHA.
