>Needs Insulin

>

Last Wednesday I had my checkup and my Endo decided that I should take insulin. I have high blood sugar and insulin is the only medication.

It’s been 3 day since I am under insulin and so far I feel better now. I hope it will really help the development of the baby.
It also feels so good that I feel the baby’s movement more often.

>Gareth is Sick

>For two days, we have sleepless nights. I can’t focus on my work because I know that he is not feeling well. He vomits and had high fever.

Today he is not so hot anymore but he still has fever and I hope that he will be better soon.
Pray for his fast recovery please…

>Pregnancy Update

>Yesterday I had my prenatal check up. I also got the result of my OGTT. I was so surprised that my blood sugar is so high and my OB referred me to a Diabetologist.

Today I supposed to visit my Diabetologist but since I was shocked about the news I don’t have enough energy to drag myself to the hospital. I think its not yet the right time. I need more time to internalize everything and do my research first. My OB told me that the best way is to use Insulin.
Personally, I don’t want to try Insulin but if its the only way to keep my baby safe then I am willing to follow orders. I will do everything for my baby.
During my first pregnancy, I was also diagnosed of Gestational Diabetes but I never tried Insulin. My previous OB advised me to watch my diet. Now, in my second pregnancy, I am very conscious of my diet. I avoided sugar or sweets but still my blood sugar is high. Its hard for me because I did everything to avoid Gestational Diabetes but still I have it no matter hard I tried.
Well, I have nothing else to do but to follow orders and looking forward that my sugar will back to its normal range. Anyway, I am still on my 19 weeks but I do my test earlier because of my GD history.
Please pray for my baby.

>Due to Laziness

>Due to my laziness, I don’t update my blog frequently. I can’t even finished my work weekly because all I wanted to do is sleep. I am hoping that this week is a better week. I need to finish my task.

I am also excited to have a new ultrasound to check the gender so that I can start buying baby items.
wish us luck…

>Lately…

>1. I had my blood sugar test. They need to extract the blood 4 times. Ang hirap ko pang kunan ng dugo kasi ang nipis ng ugat ko. Nagkakamali pa yong kumuha ng blood ko. Kaya eto ngayon paga at nangingitim ang braso ko. Hindi ko pa rin alam kung ano ang result, baka bukas pa.

2. We celebrated Chinese New Year and Valentines in Laguna. We stayed in a private resort. The result over budget because we need to extend our stay.
3. I fell down. Mabuti na lang at hindi ang balakang ko ang tumama. Pero eto may gasgas ang tuhod ko.
4. Si Gareth accidentally nahulog sa pool. Pa dive pa ang nangyari sa kanya at mabuti na lang at hindi tumama ang ulo nya sa stairs ng pool. Mabuti na lang din at mabilis ang kilos ng brother ko. Nadampot nya agad si Gareth.
5. Meron akong gustong resort.. pero super pricey at hindi ko alam kung papano ko yon mabibili. 18M ang price.. sana may manalo ako sa lotto o kaya may maghulog sa akin ng ganon kalaking pera. LOL

>I’m still Here

>I am still here.. busy for so many things. 🙂

Last week a friend of mine from Austria asked me to process her papers so I got a chance to visit Austrian embassy and it was great though I was very tired because I woke up early.
We also got a chance to visit Greenbelt 5. We had our lunch at Pepper Lunch. It was a great Friday together.
“Pillow” is now 13 weeks and so far I don’t have much cravings. I don’t feel the morning sickness anymore. It’s more relaxing and I can focus on my work. I am now waiting to feel the movement and I hope I can feel it soon.
How are you?

>Just an update…

>This is quite a very late post.

Last week I had my first ultrasound and so happy that my baby is perfectly healthy. We saw those tiny hands and as if our little “Pillow” is waving us.
My OB asked me to have my Glucose test at the end of this month and I hope that it’s normal. I am on a diet now.. meaning no more sweets as much as possible. I hope I can do it.
It’s also a busy week for us and that is the reason that I don’t have enough time to post new article but of course I will try to post as much as I can.
Well, I am planning of purchasing a breast pump because I am planning to breastfeed full time this time and hopefully I have enough cash next month for it.

>The Trouble of First Trimester

>It’s a busy and tiring week for us. Last Wednesday we went home to Laguna and meet my friend. We had a great time. She is also pregnant like me and we are both in our first trimester. It’s nice to meet her again. We share our experiences in this pregnancy but she is suffering her morning sickness terrible than mine.

Each day I feel so heavier. I was already on a heavy side even before I got pregnant and now that I am pregnant again my tummy is quite bigger even though I am still on my first trimester. I wanted to eat every after 2 hours. Sometimes I just want to eat whatever is available. I promised to myself that after this first trimester I will lessen my rice and eat more protein, vegetables and fruits to prevent gestational diabetes that I experienced during my first pregnancy.
I am also aiming of reaching my 50hours of work weekly and believe me I can easily reach it if I don’t have this laziness in me lately. It’s really hard but I can’t do anything but to give in what my body wants. If I feel sleepy I easily shut down my laptop and take a nap. Well, this is one of my freedom as a work at home mom.
