Week 13: Buh-bye sickness...

Yey, my evening sickness is over! My appetite is back and I can now eat well but not 3 full meals, 5-6 small meals instead! Yes, I'm always hungry! *haha* Though I still hate anything fried. My sense of smell remains very sensitive. My tummy is growing bigger. I"m more irritable and and sensitive. I'm starting to miss my waist, it's barely there now! *haha* But who cares? I'm lovin' every moment of this journey.

Sometimes, I wish this to be over now (hello, morning sickness!) so can see my little ones already. One the second thought, I want to savor each moment of my pregnancy. Why not? This would be my 1st and last pregnancy so I want to relish the experience to the fullest! I failed to buy a baby book to document my pregnancy milestones, I prefer to have this blog instead so I can share with friends.

I will soon post pictures of me with my baby bump.*beams* So, watch out for it!*hehe*

More of week 12 w/ video!

Baby is about 2 inches big and weighs about a half an ounce. Baby's fingers will soon open and close, the toes will start to curl and the baby's mouth will start making sucking movements. The sex organs are starting to take shape.

Now, here's a video taken by DH while we were doing the ultrasound yesterday. You will hear Dr. A.  as he speaks and explains what's going on inside my womb. Our doctor is also a blessing to us.

Good news is I'm 'safe' already. 1st trimester is over.



What an amazing miracle of life!

Week 12: 1st Trimester is Over

I’m nearing to my month 3 already *yay!* I hope my morning sickness will go away as well. It’s been a great struggle…

Had my 3rd ultrasound. What a heart-melting experience to see the babies! They are growing rapidly! I still couldn’t believe they exist inside me. My tummy as well is growing fast and surprises me everyday. ☺

I’m taking new set of prenatal vitamins --- Caltrate D+ (for calcium), Expecta Lipil (for babies' brain development) and Centrum Materna (for iron) plus vitamin C since I’m so prone to colds. This pregnancy is helping me to be disciplined. Since I was a child, I’m so lazy to take any medications. It has never been in my system to do anything routinely. I want everything at my own pacing but definitely NOT this time.

Actually, this journey is a good training for me. I never imagined myself to be this obedient to Dr. A. *hehe* I follow everything he advises and I know all these will pay off. ☺ Its not only for me but for the babies.

If there’s one person who is having a HARD time during this journey, it’s not me but my husband. I tend to be OVERLY demanding and difficult to handle (blame it to the hormones!) I’m just so lucky to have him. ☺ Every night after we say our prayers, good nights and I love you’s, DH would kiss us (me and my tummy). He often talks to the babies. How sweet isn’t it? I know he’ll be a good dad. ☺He's more excited than me, actually.

Here are the pictures of our babies at Week 12. Click the photos to enlarge.

baby 1 (looks more like a human now...)

baby 2 (top view showing its back)

baby 3 (shy baby? hehe)

A few more weeks and we'll be able to know the gender already, how exciting!

Week 10: One, Two, Oh wait...One more???

Nice picture and cute babies!!!

Had my 2nd ultrasound today. It’s so amazing to see the babies moving! ☺ Guess what? I’m not having one, not two but three babies! Fraternal triplets! ☺ I still couldn’t believe that I have 3 babies inside me. What a blessing from God! ☺ We are praying that we’ll have 2 girls-1boy or 2boys-1 girl and of course all healthy.

Based from the ultrasound, babies are doing great and their sizes are all the same which is a very good sign. No signs of possible spotting or bleeding as well. Whew, thank God!
