patience is a virtue

Posted on January 3, 2007 - Filed Under Pregnancy | 4 Comments

Patience is not one of my strongest aspects right now. After 36 weeks, 30 pounds, I am just so very eager for this pregnancy to be over. I don’t even think about the delivery anymore and the pains I would be feeling, I just want Mateo out.
Add to the discomfort of a so much bigger [...]

We had our sixth and last childbirth preparation class with Rome last Sunday. Since it would be our last class, the group decided to have a small salo-salo after. Every couple brought food and we all had a hearty time eating everything. Here are some pictures of our group taken several weeks ago. (Me in [...]

sweets deprivation

Posted on December 7, 2006 - Filed Under Pregnancy | 2 Comments

I haven’t had any decent sweet these past few months. I’ve been limited to small amounts of chocolates, a forkful of cake here and there… it was such torture for me, considering that sweets and desserts are always a part of my diet. Hehe!

The whole ordeal (?) has reached its maximum point for me a [...]

a failed 3d/4d

So finally, Ramil was convinced to go for a 3d/4d ultrasound. I told him we could send a copy of the ultrasound pic to my papa who wouldn't be able to come home this December after all. I wanted to send him a pic of his first apo just to lessen his Christmas blues.

After [...]

not for the faint of heart

Last Sunday, during our 4th childbirth preparation class, Rome showed us some videos of real women giving birth. Shall I say that the video was very… enlightening. Women after women were shown giving birth, in all sorts of grunts, moans, and expressions. A lot of sweat, tears, and blood were also shed in the [...]

preggy portraits

When I saw Toni’s maternity portrait a few months back, I knew I wanted my own souvenir of my pregnant body. I told Ramil about it and he said it sounds great. The only thing that would prevent it from happening would be our lack of budget for it. Hence, it was serendipity that [...]

I had a very tiring day last Tuesday, I had a total of 6 classes of 45 minutes each. I couldn’t really teach while sitting down so I was standing almost the whole time during these 6 classes. As a result, my ankles were a bit swollen by lunchtime (edema) and I felt really tired. [...]

childbirth preparation class

Posted on November 10, 2006 - Filed Under Pregnancy | 3 Comments

As I’ve mentioned in my previous post, Ramil and I enrolled ourselves in a childbirth preparation class. Some may prefer to call it lamaze class though it doesn’t just focus on the lamaze method. The class will hold a total of 6 sessions with around 2.5 hours per session. We attended the first session already [...]

long overdue post/s

Posted on November 4, 2006 - Filed Under Pregnancy, Ramblings, Teaching | 4 Comments

A lot of things have happened the past 2 weeks and yet I haven't been able to post anything. Blame it on lack of online time and our 1 week no-work vacation (which would be ending tom, sniff). So let me make a one-post-contains-all update:

Turned 25 last October 25! Since October 24, tuesday, [...]

scat-ter-brain
n.
A person regarded as flighty, thoughtless, or disorganized.

According to ex-pregnant women and pregnancy books, an expecting mother may suffer from the Scatterbrain syndrome. Being a forgetful person even before I got pregnant, I was very worried about experiencing this.

At the start of the pregnancy, Ramil would tease me about having the scatterbrain syndrome whenever [...]
