Almost done with First Trimester

Weee! I'm almost done with 1st trimester - thank you Lord for protecting me and keeping me safe from harm. I'm so thankful because my pregnancy is not that "maselan" at all - and I am not experiencing any pain or bleeding even if I have to brave the traffic and MRT crowd everyday.
 2-hour travel going to work is no joke, most especially during the first trimester, and I am one of the lucky pregnant women who don't have to stay at home and have a bed rest all throughout their pregnancy. (Well, I hope that time wouldn't come, and may the Lord continue to guide me every day) 

The other day, I was reminiscing the time when my husband and I were still trying to conceive our baby. I had to undergo the process of raspa/d&c just to get pregnant. (hhm, it really makes me cringe every time I remember how they gave me the anesthesia) 

Ang Panginoon nga naman, He had to delay our prayers just so we could realize the real meaning of patience and understanding and  to hold on at times when you feel like giving up. Who would have thought that month we finally conceived is the exact month I stopped taking medications. Thank you Again, Lord! 

So far, I have already gained 1Kilo, and I think my baby bump is already starting to show. It's getting bigger each day and so am I. ♥

TADA! 

Taken last April 2013 at Las Pinas Doctors Hospital

That's me, right after I have recovered from the operation. The nurses told me that my pain tolerance is a bit high because I was able to stand up to take a pee after the operation. Well to be honest, I was really scared to take a pee because I thought it would really hurt, but I think the anesthesia really saved me from not experiencing any pain after the operation, though I got really scared when I saw A LOT OF BLOOD after I pee'd (sorry too much information!) ♥ 

Christmas Time is Here ♥

Weee! Christmas is just around the corner, but a major boo-boo for me because I wouldn’t be able to eat Noche Buena with my family and go to simbang gabi with them since I have work on Christmas Eve. Sigh, the downside of working on a BPO.

And since most of my close friends are spending their most sought holiday of the year in the office, we planned to celebrate it here instead by bringing our potluck. I just hope next Christmas, (by that time, I already have a 5-month old baby), I’d be able to take my vacation leave already and spend it with my love ones.

Christmas spirit is very much present in the office as well. Theme for the year is recycled stuff, and surprisingly, a lot of creative juices have been flowing per team and I must say that their decorations are really splendid. As per our team, I think we have the simplest design of all. Hehe! Good thing a friend of mine had volunteered to stick some paper lanterns just so we could have a simple decoration on our aisle. If not for him, we wouldn’t have any single design hanging on the pipes (yes, pipes!, pipes are so visible here on our office). Hirap nga naman if some of your team mates are so unhelpful and wouldn’t even bother asking if we need some help sticking these designs. Hehehe! Peace! :D

I wanted to take and document the creative decorations here in the office, but since most of the people here work at night (and I’m that shy to ask if I can take pictures of their designs), I opted to take a pic of my most favorite embellishment and creativity they’ve done on their work stations. It’s so unique, and WAY different among the rest. Not the typical lantern/stars you stick on the ceiling, or the wrapped gifts you display under the Christmas tree. They made a gingerbread house (wait is it really a ginger bread house?) out of boxes and Manila paper. How cool is that? J

See for yourself. It’s really cute! 

And oh - well before I forget, since this is a pregnancy blog, here's my tummy at 11 weeks. hehehe! ♥ 

tummy's getting bigger! yay!

Now at 10 weeks

Happy December! Since my dear husband and I have already received one of the best gifts God has given us, I simply couldn’t ask for more this Christmas season. A lot of things have changed already since the time we found out I am pregnant. My attitude and perspective towards life; my relationship with my husband even got better and the way I look, physically. Hehe! Well, nothing much has changed in terms of my physical appearance yet, and I couldn’t wait to see the baby bump in my tummy. So as early as now, I am going to document my baby tummy look to see how it progresses week by week.

To top it off, I am already 10 weeks pregnant, and a tiny bump is already showing. I don’t know if this is because the way how I eat a lately (I MEAN, I EAT A LOT LATELY. THANK YOU BECAUSE I’VE ALREADY OVERCOME THE DREADFUL MORNING SICKNESS), but every time I look at my “puson” which is already big before, I couldn’t help but smile because my puson looks more firm these days and more round. 

This is what my tummy looks like at 10 weeks. ♥ 

Thanks to my husband for taking this picture. 

 My husband has shaky hands and he ended up taking too many blurred pics (20 plus pics akk!). This is the best shot he could offer. I had to filter the above pic because my eyes looks so deformed on the original pic because of his uber pasmadong plus nanginginig na kamay. hehehe!
