Fascinated

I was just browsing around the Internet last night and I saw the news (well it is news to me since I never heard it and maybe I am pretty late with it) with Jenna Jameson that she is having a twin this coming April. I looked her up and found her myspace.com website and saw this really cool and cute picture that I want to share.

Enjoying my pregnancy

Yup that is true. I am enjoying every minute of it. I know I am gaining weight dramatically but to hell with it, it's for my little angel who is kicking every everyday. I am so amazed how life is being created inside me and to be able to feel it every single day is just priceless. I tried to count every kick and squirm and moves my baby is doing everyday. I am so blessed that God granted me this opportunity to feel this way and I just can't wait to see and hug my little angel.

I made this blog entry because my baby is literally kicking right now and I am so excited to feel it.

Uncomfortable...

Cold weather is one of my enemies. I hate cold weather and I can never imagine living in a place colder than Florida. We are now experiencing a cold front and in my situation, it's not very comfortable since I am having this back pains and lying to be comfortable is not going to be easy. My baby is moving a lot more now that I can easily notice it and I make trips to the bathroom frequently to avoid some accidents. I just hope this cold weather will go away so I can be more comfortable. Even though I enjoy my pregnancy every minute of it, I love the sensation that I can feel my baby's movements and stuff I would appreciate it more if the cold weather is not a factor at all.

Cold..cold...go away

Waiting and Counting

This morning I was so excited because I have been wanting to count the kicks and all the movements of my baby in my tummy and yet kinda worried because I have a lot of what if's like other expectant mothers. I have been reading about baby and pregnancy online the more knowledge you got the more curious and worried you will get too. As a concern mother I will take whatever God will give me. I was lying down in bed this morning and felt that the baby is moving so I started counting it. As far as I read I have to mark the beginning time and when the movements reach to 10 then that's end time but it has to be within 2 hours or else I might be concern a little. So I was counting starting at 9:48am and my baby reach its 10th movements at 9:53am. I was so happy since it looks like my baby has no signs of irregularities. Even after the 10th I still felt all the movements and it just made me happier. Thank God!

Back Pains

Now that we have cold fronts coming in and our weather is cold, my back is killing me. I hate the cold and now that I am pregnant it's just different. I am doing great in wrapping up myself making sure me and my baby will not be cold at all. I use heater if I have to which I am using right now. I was suffering headache before and found out it was because of the excessive use of heater. Now I am using it moderately because headache is not a good sign either. I hate taking any medicine. I try not to rely on medicine too especially in my condition. I have been putting pillows in my back so I can sleep at night. At this point in my pregnancy where my stomach is getting big, it's getting harder to find a comfortable position. I won't complain though because my baby never give me any problem whatsoever.

I just hope this cold front will go away soon.

Five Months and so proud

My belly is undeniably showing it and I am so proud because it is showing my little angel's growth inside me. I just have this very special feeling inside me that I can't explain but it is just magical because I am able to bring a new life into this world to love and hold and take care for the rest of my life. My angel is still doing so good never give me any problems as far as pains and pregnancy symptoms and all that which I am very thankful and hoping that it will go on smoothly as it is.

You are 20 weeks pregnant. (fetal age 18 weeks)

* Baby now weighes about 11 ounces and is roughly 7 inches long.
* Baby is 17cm long crown to rump, and weighs about 310 grams.
* The baby can hear and recognize the mother's voice.
* The mother will probably start feeling the first fetal movements.
* The toenails and fingernails are growing.
* The growth of hair on the rest of the body has started.
* The skin is getting thicker.
* The heart can now be heard with a stethoscope.

Your baby may react to loud sounds. Baby can actually hear noises outside of the womb. Familiar voices, music, and sounds that baby becomes accustomed to during their development stages often are calming after birth. This is an important time for sensory development since nerve cells serving each of the senses; taste, smell, hearing, sight, and touch are now developing into their specialized area of the brain.

Halfway there

I am halfway to meeting my baby now. I am on my 20 weeks which is quite amazing since I can now feel the baby moves inside, sometimes my tummy will gets really hard and when there some unusual things happen I can feel my baby move and react to it. I am so fascinated and so excited at the time.

I just had someone asked me yesterday if I am ready yet and it gets me thinking of a lot of things since I don't think I am ready yet. First we haven't started making the nursery room yet but I am not in the hurry since I finally convince my husband to find out the gender(actually with the help of my sister in law). It would be nice if we don't know if it's a boy or a girl but it is just more convenient to know and decorate the room accordingly plus I can tell the invited guests that it is a boy or girl which my sister and mother in law is putting up together. We have our appointment for the sonogram on the 30th of January and makes me excited to see my angel.
