Is It Tomorrow?

Tomorrow is my estimated due date. I will be 40 weeks pregnant. Hooray! It feels like an achievement to me. I have mixed emotions right now.I can have the baby tomorrow, or maybe next week for sure. I can really tell that our baby is running out of space and he's ready to greet the world. I am guessing he's going to be a big baby. I am not worried about pain anymore because I am getting an epidural. I think it'll be easier for me and Isaac.

We shall see if tomorrow is the big day. What do you think?

39 weeks along

I have exactly one week before his due date. Our baby boy is going to greet the world soon. I hope and pray I am dilating more, and that he will arrive on or before his due date. My belly is huge! I feel like I'm carrying a heavy watermelon. I guess that's the reason why I'm clumsy for the past few days. I hate that I had to pee a lot and the intervals are 1 hour apart. Not fun but this too shall pass :-) Okay, I don't want to complain and complain here. I do have some good news. My good news is, my feet are not swollen anymore and I only had a leg cramp once for the past 3 weeks. No more heartburn too.Foot massage really helps. As for my appetite, it's great! I have to watch out sometimes.

I hope this will be my last blog about my pregnancy. Don't get me wrong, I love being pregnant. I would love to be pregnant again next year. But for now, I am a little bit tired of daydreaming about holding my little boy. I just want to see him and give him lots of little kisses.

Update!

We went to doctor yesterday for my weekly appointment. I am happy to know that our baby is growing well and his heart beat is normal. As for me, everything is normal. I am 2cm dilated. Good to know that there's a little progression. His due date is next week, January 30. We are very thrilled to see him. I have a feeling that he's going to come out on time. BUT, If ever he decides not to come out on time, then I will be induced and we get to pick his birth date. We already waited for several months. A week or a little over a week is not a long wait.
Oh how I love this little baby. He his not only a dream come true, but also a JOY to Isaac and I. I pray to God that we will be wonderful parents to him.

38 weeks "buntis"

The waiting game begins now. We are totally excited to see our baby.This morning, Isaac was talking to our baby and telling him to come out already. He responded with a kick! I guess he's trying to tell his Dad to stop forcing him :-)

I am doing just fine. I wake up a lot at night to go to the bathroom . But I still sleep good. My feet are kinda swollen now, which is normal. It's hard to put on my tennis shoes and paint my nails. Last night, I asked Isaac to paint my nails, so even if it's a little swollen, it's still pretty :-)

I am excited for next doctor's appointment this Wednesday. I can't wait to hear more progression. It won't be long for sure. For now, we'll just have to deal with this waiting game.

37 weeks preggo

Today is a very special day for me because my baby is now full-term. It means, if he arrives today like his cousin Darren, his lungs is fully matured and ready to adjust on the outside world. But seriously, I don't think he wants to come out yet. Whenever he's ready, we're ready!
This week, I get a lot of Braxton hicks. Not that bad though. I just drink plenty of water and rest when it occurs. It's also harder to sleep through the night and get a comfortable position.It won't be long till Alex's arrival. I have 21 days to go or less. I guess, I have to be more patient. They say that when your due date is close, it feels like forever. It's so true!!!

36 weeks pregnant

I am 36 weeks along. One more week to go and I am considered full-term. I am getting more and more excited each day. I am ready to embrace my new important calling in life, which is Motherhood! Now that it's getting closer, I am kind of nervous. I am a little worried about labor pain, whether to get an epidural or not and etc. I'm pretty sure that I am experiencing pregnancy blues this time. But I do know it'll be worth it, so BRING IT ON!!! :-)

The baby's car seat is already in our car. Our hospital bag is not quite ready, but we have almost everything we need. Tomorrow is the day where I will make sure that everything is prepared and complete.

I am in-love with my baby boy. He is indeed a mover and a kicker, specially when I am trying to sleep. I don't mind though because he's a joy beyond compare. I think I am going to cry a bucketful of tears when I finally see him. I am pretty sure I will.

Double blessing!!!

The day after we announced to the public that we're pregnant, was the same day that my Big sister found out that she's also having a baby! It's her 4th child and we're very thrilled for them as well. What a great blessing to be an instrument of God to bring special spirits here on earth. I can't wait to see our babies (my baby and my newest niece or nephew) I know they're excited to see us too and I know in my heart that they're best of friends. I wonder who's gonna come here 1st. The neatest thing is, we're both due on the same week. It's pretty amazing! I have a strong feeling that they're girls. We'll see.

I'm almost 6 weeks along. I feel queasy once in a while. So far so good. I notice changes everyday! It's an adventure. Our baby is just the same size of a poppy seed right now. We're excited to see her soon. My next appointment is in less than 2 weeks. I can't wait. We always pray that our baby will always stay healthy and strong inside me. I know God is taking good care of her and my sister's baby. Keep on praying for us :-)
