Confirmed!

After days of unusual cravings, i have to confirm now that i am - actually only PMSing or pre menstrual period sydrome'ing Hahah. Now i have to clear my thoughts on things i have been imagining like future playmate for yena, another 9 months of pregnancy and the likes. :)

Now i have to warn hubby to stay away from my sight and stop procrastinating coz that would lead to one thing he would not like! I have the worst mood swings when i have my period so it is better to stay away an inch from each other..

I don't know if other woman experience PMSing just like me, But everytime i have my period i just don't have the proper moods to stay alert. I just want to sleep and sleep and sleep. (it's lunch break now and i will be taking a nap, yahoo!)

How about you? How do you handle PMSing??

Conceived after two depressions

Hubby and i have been through a lot when we decided to be together sometime ago. Just like any other couple we've been through ups and downs! We've been to the long and winding road of fighting for our love. But there was two instances then that i thought id give up, i can sense hubby felt the same too! It was the time when we were both impatient to have our own baby.

My ob said i have mayoma, my left and right ovary were not healthy, in fact the ob cant find any egg cells. So planning a baby with my condition seemed futile. I underwent medication to regulate my mentruation and to have a healthy egg cells.. Patiently we waited for the baby. :)

Then a week of missed periods, jumped hubby for joy. He told me have my pregnancy test kit and check if i was already expecting. Miserably i get out of the comfort room weeping. Told myself, this was not yet the moment. But hubby felt terribly depressed. I was depressed all the more.

My first kit showing one line, negative. :(

The second time of my missed periods again, he was not expecting anything at all. I wa so nervous. I was worried i cant give him a child he has been wanting. Thoughts of husband leaving mefor another woman who could bare his child was running on my mind. I was hopeless all the more when the result turned to negative.

So there, after two depressions on a fine day of june, after a day of work and two months of missed period, i decided to try to have my kit ready again. And there we were, hubby and i, numb and speechless. Coz by that time, we saw two lines we've never seen before! That was then we knew... our baby was here already. :)

The two lines, positive! :)

And that was our Yena, our ultimate source of joy now, who was conceived after two depressions!

I am pregnant!??

Oh no! Oh Please don't react too fast.. That is a --- what if?! For now.

OK, I have been craving for different foods lately.. Last weekend i was craving for my favorite chocolate with almonds, and i was so happy when hubby bought me two packs.. :) Tasted one nugget and that's it. I really love to see my chocolates saved, i stared at them and eat them one piece at a time.. Yum yum.

But the cravings did not end there. I wanted the greenest mango that i urge hubby to again buy me some.. After peeling it for me this morning (I am a spoiled wife!), i brought it to my work area and looked at it for a moment.. Told myself 'I should be eating this a little later'.. but came 9am it was gone! yeah, I ate it! :) Yum yum.

My officemates were teasing me that i am pregnant. Expecting that i would confirm nor deny, i just told them that if it is so, i will thank God for another blessing and get ready - Coz it will be another long journey hohoh. Oh noh!

FYI, I am taking contraceptive but i know it is not 100% safe. So if this cravings mean Yena will have her little playmate sooner than planned - Why not?!

How to eat crackers with poise

This is how Yena eats her crackers often times.. She holds them "beauty queen-like" hahah


I don't know where she got this, or every child steps into a stage of holding crackers like this.. If your baby eats like this i will be at ease knowing am not alone.. ;)

When do babies learn to hold their bottles?

There are very few moments i find Yena holding her own bottles at feeding time. She resisted holding them.. My sister teased her to be lazy at that..

Until now at 11 months and 2 weeks, Yena would only hold her bottle when she is sooo hungry. When feeding time, i would lay her to bed and place her bottle on a pillow just so she can have her milk before sleeping.

I saw my nephews mastered holding their bottles even at 9 months. I just wonder when do babies really learn to hold their own bottles? When did your baby started holding their bottles?? Is my baby getting late already?? ;)

I didn't start the year right

I admit i am not a perfect wife, or even close to it!. 2008 has been a year of being a neophyte wife and a mom so for a first timer like me i think i failed. Well yena do not know yet - to comment on what kind of mom i am. But being a wife - i have husband to tell me what i am all the time.

Worst is, i am a very crazy wife! yeah - back to starting year 2009. I locked myself up the whole day of the 31st. Did not even peek outside on 12midnight, while the family prays before media noche, watch fireworks outside and catch up some bonding time - I tried myself to sleep. I did not want to go out. I did not eat the whole day. I hated myself.

Could not helped it, i went to my mother's house morning of january 1st and just EAT! While i bond with my family and relatives, i think of my husband and child back at home and i felt sorry for them. Though i spent time at my mother's, my hubby and my baby, my very family needs me most. And i need them too!

Though i didn't start the year right, hubby and I ended it BEST. We kissed while tears pouring! Prayed together. I know it is gonna be a great year!
