Our plan to finally know our baby's gender was postponed to another two weeks. Dissappointed. Yes, with a capital Y. My OB scheduled my ultrasound before my next appointment together with some blood tests and glucose test. Anticipation is killing me but I have to be patient right. Some parents what their baby's gender to be a surprise but me... I want to call my baby by his or her name already even if he/she is still in my womb. That's my object. For the first 3 months, I've been calling my baby Andre and for the last 2 months been calling her Ashley. Sometimes I call them Ashley and Andre. Ok, I must admit that part of it also is so I can start buying things for my baby. Though neutral colors are prefered like light green, yellow, lavander, I still want to buy some blues and pinks. I hope this week and the next week passes by fast so I can share with you if its a boy or a girl.
I also gained 10 pounds from my last doctor's visit. Now I'm 140 lbs (gained 20 lbs already since the wedding). Now I must only gain 4lbs till our next appointment. The baby should be the one gaining 1 pound a week and not me. So I have to cut down my carbs and sweets and must eat more meat, fish, veggies and fruits. Sometimes you just can't help eating.. everything seems so delicious to eat.
My baby's kicks are getting stronger by the day.

Shiens, can you feel more being a mom the past few days and months? You will feel more of the kicks when you rich on the 7th til you deliver your baby.....Then when you see your baby, this is what you call the lifetime career in which you can never resign:-) But it will be worthy because you now have the essence of a woman....
shucks mommy p! lapit na. ;p sama ka pa rin for gimmicks when the baby is born ha? though i'm sure you'll be pretty detachable the first few months.
stop interchanging between the 2 names, baka magka-identity crisis! haha.
when's the baby shower? when you know the gender? gosh... dati debut, tapos may mga wedding na, ngayon baby shower!?! gads...
yes I am. Actually i'm more protective of my tummy now adays. The more kicks I feel the better coz I know the baby is alive and well. During our last visit to my OB, a mother lost her child because she didn't panic when the baby didnt move for the whole day and when they made an emergency c-section operation after 3 days, the baby's heart is no longer beating. They pronounce her dead. The mom was due to deliver this week. Its so scary.. That's why I'm worried if the baby doesn't kick me every 2 hours.
oh misty.. i'll try to be there if I could.. syempre i've already have responsibilities (on a different level from our single days). Sabi nga ni bebe, i'll be able to go to the beach after 2 years pa! para maisama si baby.
Baby shower.. hummm.. maybe april or may. Bring your own "manok" (u know what I mean)I have yet to come up with my baby shower gift registry or wish list. We'll know the baby's gender on March 11.. I'll do a text and email brigade.
Sabi mo, debut then weddings now baby shower? ang susunod dyan ay baptismal at children's parties :) tapos we'll be back to debuts, weddings and baby shower ulit.. that's the cycle of life. Make sure to enjoy every ride.
