i couldn't believe i've been to 3 OB visits already and failed to document! so far everything's well and good (just for keeping record, baby li's heartbeats' were on the 140s on those checkups and baby li's measuring just a week older)... except for some bouts of indigestion, diarrhea, stomach flu and weird abdominal pain (that made me suspect i had appendicitis) that i've consulted about but luckily not so serious that made me end up in the ER.
i couldn't believe i passed my 1st glucose test during my 24th week! so here i am, not too scared to satisfy my sweet tooth cravings. i am "supplementing" with extra iron though coz just like the last time, i am anemic.
i couldn't believe how huge my tummy is that everyone (even those i do not know!) thinks i am about ready to pop. the ob said they're rude to make such comments though. but then she said, "you know, you're just like a balloon that's already blown once". yeah, that made me feel better...NOT! i love her though. she's very smart, funny and great with patients. howell, as long as she's measuring the lil one accurately and she's not worried about the big baby, then i am fine.
i couldn't believe that my vital stats since 29th week is 37-41-38! fyi, my waistline only measured 41 inches when joel was 33 weeks in utero and the only number i am happy about is the first one! aww, you, big boy you!
i couldn't believe at how early this lil boy showed us his alien moves! i started feeling him daily (not occasionally) at 19weeks. he's been jabbing like pacman since probably mid-second trimester. and he started deforming my tummy through whatever movement he makes since probably mid-to-late-second trimester! ate joel loves to touch my tummy and watch baby li do his acrobatics. she'd often say, "baby li is wobbly!". hay, ang likot mo anak! kung magstretch at gumalaw ka, akala mo lalabas ka mula sa tyan ko!. no worries darling, mommy's not complaining. i'd rather feel you move than not.
i couldn't believe i am 30 weeks today and in just 10 weeks, we're already on due date. i am still fine though. despite the increasing disturbed sleeps and discomforts and pain everywhere.
i couldn't believe we still don't have a first name for you my lil one! promise, before you make your grand entrance, there will be THAT perfect name, just for you.
well, let me leave you now with a couple of pics from the very early baby shower that my kabaranggays threw for baby li. i couldn't believe, it was that early! hehe. i am grateful for having such wonderful friends, nevertheless!
