My Pregnancy Story

This is a just a repost of my Conceived after two depressions entry last January 2009. I don’t have internet connection at home and I find it hard to blog at work (am using proxy to somehow open my blogs). But I cannot afford to miss this week’s theme at Couple’s Corner. So this shall be my entry on my pregnancy story. ^_^

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?!

on being pregnant etc

every sunday we make it a point na magsimba ng 9am. mula pa noong magpakasal kami mag asawa, nung magbuntis ako at heto ngayong salitan na kami sa pagkarga kay yena. it's a family time with the Lord every sunday morning. minsan kumakanta pa rin kami sa choir, and i'm dreaming na one day kasama na namen si yena sa pagkanta sa simbahan.

last sunday, may buntis na hinimatay habang nagmimisa. grabe ang nerbyos ko. nag iisa pa naman siya. nakakagaan ng loob makita na may mga good samaritan na tumulong sa kanya, nung nagkamalay ay nagduduwal naman siya. sabi ko kay husband ganun kahirap magbuntis, and im glad na di saken pinaranas ni yena yun..

i remember nung buntis ako kay yena, nagsusuka ako everytime na nagtutoothbrush ako, at less than five times din siguro akong nagsuka sa bus, ang hilo countless na yun. mahirap daw talaga magbuntis, at kung sino man ang nagbabalak na magkaanak ay dapat matatag ang loob mula sa umpisa, panganganak at hanggang sa maging ina. dapat daw laging positive ang outlook at piliting laging ngumiti. ;)

dahil pabago bago ang hormones sa katawan kaya nahihilo, naduduwal at nagiiba iba ang panlasa ng buntis. naalala ko na una kong hinanap noon ay mais na puti ang kulay, yung matamis. at ng nagpabili ako ng isa sa pinsan ko, abot langit ang galit ko nung di yun matamis! di ko pa alam na buntis ako noon!

sabi nila pag gusto mo ng maaasim on your first three months, ibig sabihin boy ang anak mo. and kung matatamis naman ang hinahanap mo, malamang girl! oo, tumpak to saken. kasi ang unang una kong pinaglawayan noon ay kisses almonds chocolate at chuckie. tapos hindi lilipas ang araw na walang pakwan ang meal nameng mag asawa. di lang ako ang naglihi, kung sa akin ay dedma ang mangga, gigil na gigil na gigil naman ang asawa ko dito.

at dahil nagbabago daw ang pang amoy ng mga buntis, i hated smelling nissin's yakisoba and kfc chicken! but before pregnancy yang dalawa na yan ay paborito kong kainin. nakakapagtaka talaga!

six months after giving birth, heto ako ngayon. nagkicrave pa rin. di na ata mawawala ang dila kong parang laging naglilihi! :)

When a child is born

Niko, sakit ba manganak??? kaya ko ba un??

Email ng officemate ko pagkatapos niyang makita ang pictures ni Yenang sa desktop ko. Siyempre pa reply ako;

Naku po, number one akong duwag. Gusto ko talaga ng baby pero super natatakot ako sa thought ng panganganak..

Kaya sa tiyan pa lang si yenang kinakausap ko na siya na wag niya ko pahirapan.. before and while laboring natawag ko na ata lahat ng santo at humingi na ng tawad sa Diyos sa mga kasalanan ko. Imagine, naglabor ako ng walong oras. Pero dahil siguro mahal ako ni Lord no pains ako. Wala namang masakit. Hilab pala yung tawag sa paninigas ng tiyan. At kung masakit man ang balakang ko parang normal na sakit lang ng katawan, di kainda inda.

Ang ending CS, paglipat ko mula sa delivery room kung san ako naglabor papuntang operating room kung san ako isiCS, nakatulog na ko. Pagkatapos ng sampung oras sa recovery room nakasama ko na ang mag ama ko. Masakit ang tahi pero iindahin mo pa ba yun? Tingnan mo lang anak mo at solve ka na, i assure you! :)

It's a GIRL!

We went to Lab last saturday to have my pelvic ultrasound. At heto, confirmed na! Im having a girl.. :) and im so excited!!

Nakakatuwa si hubby, nung sinabi na "it's a baby girl!" bigla siyang natahimik at napatanong ng "BOY?!". the lab tech showed him the monitor, with our baby's genital.. at heto nga.. tawa kami ng tawa kasi ang napansin ko kaagad ay ang biyas ng legs!! wow yobib na yobib tlga!! :)
