Pregnancy Discomfort

I am now on my 35th week and so far there are lots of uncomfortable moments. I got my morning sickness back and I feel so heavy and huge already. I had a hard time walking. I wanted to go to the mall to just relax but upon thinking of going out made me feel lazy. I hate going out. I just keep walking around the house.

I am also starting a new craft project… my Crochet project. For almost a week, I keep on watching videos on how to crochet at YouTube. Then I order some yarn and different hook sizes and it arrived yesterday. So now I am busy again doing baby beanie and so far I love the result. I am just a newbie on this project and I believe that I should have to learn more.  If I am not sleepy and tired, I am doing it too. Now, while watching my Forex Trading I am also doing my crochet project which is awesome.

I think my body needs massage too. I have muscle pain in my legs and arms so I need to have it later. I am glad that I can just easily go to our spa. Now that I am heavier and my due date is come nearer, I don’t usually go to the spa everyday. I just checked my staffs everyday. I miss going regularly but I have to take care of my health.

Yesterday, I had my coffee when I woke up but I got my palpitations again so I guess I have to stop it. I hate the feeling of it.

My Endo also increases my insulin intake and so far my sugar is okay but there are moments that I don’t feel good and I hate this diabetes so much. I wish to take it away from my system but I think I have no choice but to live with it but of course I won’t let it control me.

My OB told me that my CS schedule this coming March 10 and so far all the baby items are now ready. We already washed it and we will be putting his items on the baby bag. Anxiety is attacking me lately maybe because the delivery will be soon. I am trying to prepare my body for everything. I am praying so hard that everything will be okay. Please pray for my safe delivery.

Have a great day everyone!

Rainbow Baby

 

When I lost Ayumi, I know that I can have a new baby, not as a replacement for her because the truth is, no one can replace her. I wanted a new baby because we are longing to have a baby. Before Ayumi died, we are planning to have a new baby and I was joking to Ayumi days before she passed away that I have a baby in my tummy, at first she don’t like it, she got mad and cry but I explained to her that the baby is cute and will call her “Ate”, she stopped crying and kissed my tummy. Everytime I remember that scene, I know that I have her approval. 🙂

The night I found out that I am pregnant, I have this wonderful dream, I saw Ayumi dancing. She’s so happy and shouted “Mommy” in her very cheerful voice. Then I woke up and I know that she is really happy on what is going on to our life right now.

 

I am 7 weeks pregnant. When I found out, I really can’t believe it. I let the day pass first and watch my body change. I feel morning sickness at night and most of the time I am sleepy. Then I realized that it is real.

So I never wasted time and inform my friends about it. I got overwhelmed by the response. They are very happy. I really can’t believe that my friends are so happy with this new blessings. This pregnancy has a big impact to all my friends because they know how much I suffered when I lost my daughter. I become a different person.

I am excited for this new baby and I am taking extra effort to take care of my body this time because I am thinking of the safety of the baby.

Please say a prayer that this baby will be ours for the rest of our lives.

Thanks everyone!

 

God bless!

>In the Hospital

>Last Saturday, I felt the movement of the baby became minimal and I got contractions every hour so I called my OB and she informed me to stay in the hospital. I thought that I will undergo the CS operation soon but when they checked my hemoglobin it was very low. She wanted me to have blood transfusion but sad to say we don’t have a blood donor and no blood available in the blood bank. It’s really frustrating in my part because pain is already everywhere in my body. I had my Demerol to keep me relax and sleep. Well, it helps me sleep but I think Demerol has a bad effect in me. It made me so emotional. I don’t know why but I keep on crying for 2 days and my husband is so worried. He keeps on comforting me but still I can’t control myself. It was so hard. damn!

So waited until Monday then finally we got a 2 packs of Type A blood, I need 3 to 4 packs. So I still need more. My cousin is also donating blood and I am so thankful to him. Today, I just finished my first pack and I hope it will make me feel better. I hope that I am ready for my operation tomorrow. My hands are also aching. I have bandage everywhere. The nurses find it hard to insert the IV’s and extract blood because of my tiny veins. I hate it everytime they need to insert new needle. hay!

My CS operation is scheduled tomorrow (tuesday, August 3) at 7:30 a.m. Please pray that I have a successful operation and I am hoping that I can post more after the operation.
Have a great day everyone!

>Is this the sign of labor?

>During my first pregnancy I don’t feel any signs of labor because I undergo CS method. Now on my 35th weeks I am experiencing back pain and it has interval already. I don’t know what to expect. I texted my OB and since it’s 2a.m. I don’t expect her to reply. I am just here waiting for her and reading lots of articles about signs of labor.

I am hoping that this is just a false alarm because I am not ready yet. The baby clothes are complete but I still need to wash it. whew!
Pray for me…

>Discomfort

>This month I experienced so many things in my pregnancy. I had diarrhea and got hemorrhoids. It’s really hard to manage it but eventually I did. Then just yesterday I have UTI. It’s really hard and I am crying since it’s so painful everytime I pee. Now I am under medication and so far I feel better. I am also very thankful that I have a supportive husband.

Last Wednesday, I also bought new baby items and so far her items is almost complete! I need new crib and stroller but I can bought it maybe after giving birth. 🙂

>Surprise.. Surprise

>

Last Wednesday, I had my blood sugar test and we also decided to have my ultrasound to check the gender of the baby.
It took 15 minutes when ‘Pillow’ show it to us.

We are so happy that we will be having a girl. We prayed so hard for this and we are very grateful!

I can’t wait to hold her.
xoxo

>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.

>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.
