Regular Visit

Today was a bit hectic since I have my regular prenatal visit. Plus they are doing the Glucose test and the pap smear. So far my pap smear exam is fine. I have to wait for the results of my pap smear and glucose test and hoping everything will be okay. The blood being drawn from me wasn't a good thing but I still manage to take the pain. It wasn't too bad as long as I am not looking at the needle :)

I am now 26 weeks pregnant and I have 3 more months to go and my baby is been very active and I am kinda glad since I can tell she's there kicking which is a good sign as a healthy baby.

Can't wait to see her and give her kisses....

Worries and Pregnancy

Worries and pregnancy seems to be partners in this magical moment in life. Everyday feeling your baby is so amazing yet it worries are always there every moment too. I am a first time mom-to-be and having my baby is full of exciting and happiness and at the same time worries. Worries because I am thinking of too much like my baby's health especially and appearance and also worries when sometimes I don't feel my baby's kicks when I know deep inside my baby could be just sleeping that is why I am not feeling it's movements. What can I do? All mothers are worried sick about anything right? All we want is a perfect healthy baby.

Today I am happy because I have been feeling my baby kicks a lot and every time I eat something she kicks and every time the dog barks she kicks. I am so happy that my baby is rock and rolling inside. I don't care if sometimes hurts, all I care about is my baby is there inside kicking and maybe dancing??? :) LOL

6 Months - 24 weeks

I am officially in my 24 weeks on my pregnancy. I just start my 6 months period yesterday and 3 more months to go. Weather is helping a lot now that it's not cold anymore. My back pains are not bothering me as much as it did when it was cold.


This month continues to be a period of rapid growth. At 24 weeks, your baby can suck his thumb and you may feel baby hiccup. He will have patterns of sleep and activity which you will come to know. His skin has lost its translucent appearance, but he still has not laid down any stores of fat and is therefore quite thin.
Your baby's skin is wrinkled and red. It is covered with lanugo (fine, soft hair) and vernix (a substance consisting of oil, sloughed skin cells and lanugo). Real hair and toenails are beginning to grow.

Your baby's brain is developing rapidly. Fatty sheaths which transmit electrical impulses along nerves are forming. Meconium, your baby's first stool, is developing. A special type of fat (brown fat) that keeps your baby warm at birth is forming.

Baby girls will develop eggs in their ovaries during this month. The baby's bones are becoming solid. Your baby is almost fully formed and looks like a miniature human. However, because the lungs are not well developed and the baby is still very small, a baby cannot usually live outside the uterus at this stage without highly specialized care.

Unplanned Shopping

My old friend and I decided to meet yesterday for lunch and then go to the mall. She is 32 weeks pregnant too and wanted to see me since I am 23 weeks pregnant and we haven't seen each other in almost a year now. We ate at the Chinese buffet and then headed to Burlington coat factory. When we got there we started shopping around for ourselves and I didn't really intend on getting stuff for my little angel but I can't resist when I saw them. They are really cute and I can't stop but look through and ended up buying even my husband said don't buy anything for the baby yet since his sister and mom will have a baby shower for me and we'll just going to shop after. What can I do I was just excited and I wanted to buy stuff for my baby even though it wasn't much but it satisfied my feeling.

Never get tired

Last night I was bugging my husband to hook up a VHS player so I can see the sonogram video again. He was like you want it now??? I said yea. He was hesitant but can he do? I know how to melt his heart by asking very nice, so hook me up a VHS(we asked the sonogram technician why used a VHS why not just used a DVD or something, but she said it's more convenient for her and for parents since most wants to do it more than 1, by using a VHS she can just add the next one to the last one which makes sense). I am very excited as usual I have been wanting to see my baby again even after we came out of the office, I have been looking at her pictures every hour or so. What can I do I can't wait to see my little angel especially that she reminds me every minute because she's been kicking trying to tell me that she's there. My husband watch our baby last night and again today I watched it again and want to watch it again but I am afraid that if I keep rewinding it, it will ruin the tape so I hold on to myself and I have to wait until we get a copy of it and put it in DVD or copy it to my computer, it's so much easier.
