Week 6: First Ultrasound

I’m on my week 6 day 6. Had my first ultrasound today. Normally, before any procedure Dr. A. would talk to us and ensures expectations are set straight.

On this ultrasound, we were told that we should expect to see the sac already. Lucky to see the baby, and an awesome bonus if we see any heart activity.

Guess what? We were soooo blessed to see all --- sac, baby and the heart beating! Thank God!

If you are good in reading ultrasounds, you might find something strange on the photo *smiles*. I have to keep my mouth shut for now... It's too early to spill the beans but we are so happy. The feeling is PRICELESS!

Will be back on November 10 for my second ultrasound. Baby should be bigger by then.

Shopping

It’s always fun to window shop stuffs for the baby. Since my nephew Eon was born, DH and I are so fond of baby stores. We are always on the look out of what’s nice to give him.

Now that I’m already preggo, things will change and be more exciting! It’s such a different feeling to shop for yourself! DH brought me to Shangri-la mall to shop for some maternity clothes. Most of my jeans and shorts don’t fit anymore.

Here’s my loot.

Gingersnaps and Havin' a Baby

maternity shorts, belly belt & bra extenders

Belly belt is very useful for old jeans to be wearable again. Same goes with the bra extenders when you'd need to adjust your bra one size bigger. All these were advised by my No. 1 shopping adviser-slash-doctor, Dr. A. Hehe.

We can’t help but peek on some baby stuffs, too! --- clothes, shoes, cribs and strollers. We are eyeing on the Quinny Buzz stroller.


There’s a Buzz and a Buzz 4 but it is still too early to grab one well for sure, better ones will come out sooner or later. Hehe.

We are just so happy, excited and enjoying this beautiful journey!

Week 4

I’m noticing some changes in me. Let me share some:

- minor cramps
- sleepy/always tired/lazy
- frequent urination
- hunger

I always want to see my dear hubby (DH) and cling to him. Hahaha. I feel my tummy is getting bigger since I can no longer fit in my old jeans and shorts but I don’t mind. I’m enjoying my pregnancy!

I was advised by Dr. A. to use Aveeno moisturizing cream for stretchmark prevention.

I had it with me many months ago, I’m so well-prepared! Hehe.

Can’t wait for my 1st ultrasound which will be in 2wks time...

The Stork Has Come!

Today marks a very special day for us.

Had my blood test this morning and after 2 hours result came in positive. Yes, I’m roughly 4 weeks pregnant! ☺

We paid a visit to the Philippine Center of St. Pio and said our thanksgiving prayers then off to Medical City for my 1st check up.

My OB, Dr. A. gave me pre-natal medicine prescriptions and guess what...a prayer! He's so bait talaga. It was such a good news and blessing after the big typhoon.

This photo was taken on the same day in Astoria Plaza where we are staying for 2wks due to flood.

We just thought of taking this shot so I can have something to post here in my blog and on my pregnancy orgnanizer. Hehe.

Praying for a healthy pregnancy and safe delivery.
