aching and throbbing

Posted on August 5, 2006 - Filed Under Pregnancy | Leave a Comment

I’ve been plagued by very painful headaches the past few weeks. My head would be throbbing from the moment I open my eyes in the morning, it would worsen as the day progresses, and I almost want to cut my head off by the end of the day. My ob told me before that it’s [...]

first trim slump

seems to be extending into the 2nd trim!Bummer!I am exactly 12 weeks and 5 days pregnant today, the start of my 2nd trim. Last week, I was actually excited to end my 12th week. My 1st trim wasn’t really that harrowing but it wasn’t a bed of roses either. I had more than my share [...]

pregnancy and dating

It seems that I only needed to get pregnant to be able to date more. Syempre pa, asawa ko ka-date ko. Hehe! Ramil and I dated more in the past few days than in the past few months. We’ve been so focused on saving up (to no avail) that we would usually ‘date’ at home. [...]

tastes

For the past weeks or so, people have been asking me what food/s I’ve been craving. Ano daw ang pinaglilihian ko? My answer would usually be, nothing but I know the foods that I don’t like. Once a food is mentioned I can easily say whether I like it or not but if I’m asked [...]

a dream

I woke up today with a feeling of excitement. I dreamt about our baby. In my dream, our baby is a boy and he has Ramil’s nose. I remember the feeling of holding his soft and vulnerable body in my arms. It was such an exhilarating feeling! Pagkagising ko sabi ko agad kay Ramil, [...]

Yup, been to the ob-gyne yesterday and I am officially 4 weeks and 5 days today. Our baby is due on January 30(wah…lagot ako sa mga students ko)! She asked us to have several blood tests and to come back once we have the results already. We were actually treated to a free check-up! Thanks [...]

BABY-ed

It’s so amazing to think that my body is actually making a baby! Ramil refused to accept that statement. According to him, my body is just serving as a ‘host’, the baby is actually making itself. Ha!
We just bought 2 books: 1 pregnancy book and 1 book for new parents. I am suddenly so fearful [...]

The past few days has been a flurry of emotions for Ramil and me. The idea of having our baby has so far kept a silly smile plastered on our faces. The idea of being responsible for another human being has put a different kind of fear in us. I even keep checking my undies [...]

that nagging feeling

Posted on May 23, 2006 - Filed Under Pregnancy, Teaching | Leave a Comment

A few weeks after my last period, I was very moody (more than usual) and irritable. I was very puzzled because this usually happens a few days before or during my period. My thoughts were… impossible, I couldn’t be having my period this early. So I just let it pass. But I had that nagging [...]
