Busy Bee

What's keeping me occupied these days that I am not working is taking care of my new born baby. I'm a hands-on mom since we don't have yet a helper. It's hard nowadays to find a helper whom you can trust. I hope before I resume working we can find one. Anyway, this Sunday he will turn one month old. It's pretty quick. How time really flies fast and before we know it he's a big boy already. I can say that being a mother is hard yet rewarding especially when I see him smile with his cute two little dimple. I am just praying that he will grow healthy.

Gave Birth to a Healthy Baby Boy

I'm back from blogging after a week. Well, the reason is that I gave birth to a healthy baby boy last September 9, 2011 via normal spontaneous delivery. I'm still recovering and gaining strength. I’m hoping to be really well in the next 2 weeks. I can say that giving birth is really hard. I now understand the feeling of all mothers with regard to giving birth because I have experienced it and gone through the pain. But everything is worthy upon seeing our baby.

Anyway, I really thank God that I’m safe and he is healthy. I thank him that my baby is okay after ingesting a small amount of his meconium. He also experienced transient tachypnea after birth. Laboratory tests and x-ray was done few hours after birth. We are glad that results were normal and he was then roomed in the next day. We stayed at the hospital for 2 days.

I would like to say thank you to my ob, anesthesiologist and to all the nurses from different department. Though I know they would not be able to read this. My doctors did not charge me professional fee since I am an employee there and so we just gave them something to remember. My husband is the one who chose the token and paid it as well. Lol!

I'm hoping this is the day

My next check up is on Thursday, September 8, 2011. My last appointment says that I’m 3cm dilated, my cervix is already ripe and my baby’s head is already engaged. My husband accompanied me last Saturday since it is his rest day. I was happy that for the second time he’s with me during my check up. Anyway, I hope few days from now active labor would start. I can’t wait to see our baby. I’m really looking forward that he will come out this Thursday, September 8, 2011. This is my expected date of confinement base on my LMP (first day of last menstrual period). I know everyone of you is aware that this is also the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Bad PLDT Internet Connection

Sometimes our PLDT internet connection sucks. I hate when suddenly I will be disconnected. It spoils my enthusiasm. I am focused in writing a post then out of the blue I get disconnected. What irritates me is that it takes more than 5 minutes. I don’t know why this happen. This occurs almost everyday.

Waiting For His Arrival

I am already on maternity leave. Few days from now our baby will come. Based from my last check up I am already 2-3 cm dilated. I was encouraged to walk more because it helps labor to progress. In addition, my baby’s head is not yet engage into my pelvis. I am happy to hear that in no time he’ll arrive yet there is this fear. I know I shouldn’t be afraid because pregnancy, labor and delivery are a normal process. Also, I know God will help me get through this safely. I already pack our things so that when labor pains hit me they will just grab our bag. We already bought him a crib and other things he needs last Sunday. It was tiring yet fulfilling. We are going to be a full pledged parent soon.
