Mom on Duty

This past few days, I am busy for the kids. Oh well, I had my 3D ultrasound and we are very excited to see baby’s feature and of course the face. I am glad that everything is normal.

So here’s the 3D picture of our Rainbow Baby.

At first, the doctor find it hard to view his face because he is covering it with his hand. Then we tried to change position and ring a bell to let him move and viola we got it perfectly. I am so happy to see his face. Ang cute!

Since there are advisory about measles outbreak, I decided to let Gareth has his MMR vaccine. Yes, it is already late but I really make it sure to give it to him late because of his autism. So after he got his MMR shot, I am sleepless. I keep on checking on him if he has any side effects. I am glad that the whole night he is sleeping soundly and just got mad at me because I keep on checking on him. Well, napraning lang ako.

I also had my OB appointment earlier that day, and since I am a night person, it was really hard to wake up early. I am not even drinking too much coffee since I got pregnant and that made me feel more sleepy the whole appointment. I also don’t like staying in the hospital because it seems that I am absorbing the negative energy. I become weak everytime I am at the hospital. I really don’t know why. So after my appointment, instead of going somewhere with hubby and Gareth, I decided to go home early and rest. So the result, I sleep early and wake up late. It feels so good because I am now active and well rested.

Oh, actually not really well rested because I keep on peeing at night and of course checking on Gareth. The baby is really moving the whole time this time and I like it but sometimes when I am sleeping, I suddenly wake up due to his hard kicks. I also find it hard to find a comfortable sleeping positions.

My OB told me to control my diet. I really don’t know how to control it. I gained 4lbs and to my OB it is already too much. So she wanted me to eat meat in a match box like and half cup of rice. I really don’t know if I can do it because if I feel hungry my tummy is really making weird sounds and start feeling dizzy. So the only solution is to eat a heavy meal. I am not also allowed going to public places lately due to measles outbreak so every time I feel bored I just went to a mall with less shoppers and this are the social malls. When we went to “social malls” I feel poorer! I think I can’t buy anything because just getting inside the store will make me a thousands poorer! LOL

So when hubby wanted me to check a certain store and I know that I don’t have enough money to purchase anything in that store, I don’t want to get in. I just watch from a far and wishes so hard that I am a billionaire because I don’t want to get in any store without buying anything. So window shopping is just enough for me now.

But when we went to Rustan’s to check baby items, well, I never controlled myself anymore. I make sure to complete the baby essentials and so far I got almost everything. Well, we really plan to get all his essentials this month and purchase the bassinet, stroller and other big items next month. It is always exciting to buy all baby items. I am just controlling myself because some of the items are not really that useful, so I just focus on the basics.

We clear some parts of our walk in closet and placed baby items and everytime I see his clothes, it made me realize that this life is still worth living for.
