A WAHM Writes

I have 2 countdowns- 71 days before my EDD 7 days before our baby shower. Seeing those little baby stuff really makes me happy. We went to Rustan’s last tuesday to sign up for their registry and looks like 3 people already availed of the items. I’ve received several items for the baby already: 6 cloth diapers, a pair of booties, a gift from Ken’s boss and according to Madg, his gift will get here today via Air 21. Excited me much!!! Even baby is excited, she has shown regular activity since we had the ultrasound done.

Music time with baby with online shopping for baby stuff… Our usual weekday mornings… We wake up around 4am- Daddy prepares for work and we snooze after.

Baby is now 21 Weeks and 3 days old inside my tummy. Yesterday, I had him/ her listen to Baby Brain IQ & EQ Booster music and he/she moved! Not sure if it’s because he/she loved it or disturbed by it. I’ve been working at home full time for almost a month now. Kenny started with his new work as an Aircraft Scheduler.

Baby is now 16 weeks and 1 day inside my tummy. We’re almost halfway through the journey. We had our check up with Dra Judith Galang Perez on March 2 and we heard the fetal heartbeat!!!

I wish to do it again someday when baby already knows how to appreciate such things.

Today, we officially announced our pregnancy by posting PT results and ultrasound pictures via Facebook. A lot of well-wishers. I’ve also started to experience pain in my lower back starting yesterday. My friends in the office told me it’s normal and it only means that my body is adjusting to the growth of the baby. I read some nice pointers about managing the pain from Baby Center : What can I do to avoid back pain? • Start an exercise program to stretch and strengthen muscles that support the back and legs, including your abdominal muscles. Be careful to stretch gently because stretching too quickly or too much can put further strain on your joints, which have been made looser by pregnancy. Swimming is a great exercise option for pregnant women because it strengthens your abdominal and lower back muscles, and the buoyancy of the water takes the strain off your joints and ligaments. Pelvic tilts can also help (see below). • Stand up straight. This...

Last sunday, our baby is already 13 weeks old. It’s too bad i’m suffering from colds right now and I’m afraid baby is restless inside because of the sneezing.
