Hello
Readers!
According
to Brett Kiellerop, “Pregnancy seems
designed to prepare you for life as a mother. You start making sacrifices nine
months before the child is born, so by the time they put into appearance you
used to giving things up for them.”
It
was September 26, 2013, Thursday, that Gary and I discovered I am pregnant! I
have conducted a Pregnancy Test after I’ve missed my monthly period for
10 days. It made us very happy since we have waited for it for 3 months after
our marriage. That day was one of our happiest days, which we both sincerely
thanks our Lord.
To
confirm my pregnancy, Gary and I went to a doctor on
September 28, 2013, Saturday. My first doctor was Dra. Corazon Mata in Maria Reyna Xavier University Hospital. She asked me to have a TVS or a Transvaginal Ultrasound at the Oro Ultrasound Center, since she still cannot hear a baby’s heartbeat. And, yes! After my ultrasound, she confirmed that I am 6 weeks pregnant!

So,
I was then asked to take vitamins, milk supplement, and healthy foods in order
to support baby’s proper development. Everyone then telling me to take
extra care since the first trimester of the baby is the most delicate stage.
That time, I really can feel I am going to be a mother, which I think is one of
the most wonderful feelings in the world.
Then
I had my monthly check-up with my doctor, Dra. Mata, for the months of November
and December 2013, and January 2014. Before Gary and I decided to switched a
doctor on February 2014. My second doctor was Dra. Angeline Cagas of Cagayan de
Oro Medical Center.
One
of the exciting parts of ones pregnancy is knowing what’s the
baby’s gender. From the beginning Gary and I already had the gut feeling
that I am carrying a baby boy. We have even called him “Baby Honesto”,
since ABS-CBN was airing a teleserye
“HONESTO” and I dearly loved its main cast, Honesto. Hahahaha! Yeah, it’s weird!
March
2014 when I had my next ultrasound. And because of what they are telling lukso ng dugo, our gut feeling was right! The doctor confirmed “IT’S A BABY BOY!”
And
since I am down to the last two months of my pregnancy, excited parents as we
are, Gary and I are starting to buy baby’s stuffs like his infants wear,
a crib, and etc. I have also processed SSS Maternity Benefits, hired and
trained my reliever for my 2 months Maternity Leave, scheduled for a Maternity
Shoot, and have even renovated our room so when he came he will feel comfort.
Wow! It is really different when you are blissfully waiting for a precious gift
to hatch out. LOL
