| Me and my 11 year old son, Paolo |
 |
| Me and my husband Jojo |
At 37 years of age and with an 11 year old son, I was contented with how this small family of three was going through life. Since my son Paolo now only needed minimal supervision, I am living the 'easy' life -- work on weekdays, grocery, malling, bonding with my girl friends and going out with Paolo and husband Jojo on weekends, I couldn't ask for anything more. I was contented. I can have my alone time, my quality time with son and hubby and kikay/eating time with friends.
But God had a beautiful plan for this small family. A surprise. Another blessing.
June 2011, I found out that I was pregnant!
Jojo was really surprised and couldn't believe when I told him the news. I had to take the pregnancy test 2nd time around because I also couldn't believe it. Although I knew that there wasn't a false positive result, I told myself maybe I should buy a more expensive pregnancy kit. So I did! And so I found out once again that I was really preggy!!... Exciting times ahead!
It would be another boy! So no one would still understand my kaartehan and moods. But, I would still be the queen of the family!! Wee!
And so started my monthly visits to my OB, Dra. Madeline Florendo, at Asian Hospital. She was referred by my high school batchmate Aura Perez Cruz. Dra Florendo also happens to be the OB of Judy Ann Santos and Gladys Reyes. O, showbiz diba?!
I would also have to go visit a cardiologist, Dr Juan Dionisio Foronda, at Asian Hospital. I have a right bundle (or was it left? can't remember) branch block. But it wasn't serious so I had the go signal for a CS section. It's a repeat CS for me.
Perks of being pregnant (for me):
Husband more caring and sweet
Son more caring and sweet
Reserved parking at establishments
Spoiled at work
Served on by friends
Can wear body hugging clothes 'coz you had the excuse of why you have a big tummy! yahoo!!!
Downside of being pregnant (for me):
Feeling sick everyday
Very emotional and sensitive
Don't have the appetite to eat (is that you, Leah??!)
Then on goes my 9 month journey...
