My Janna is a month old!

A quick pause.

Woah. I can't believe that it has been four weeks already since I gave birth and up until now, I have not shared my birth story. Well, as you all know, we have recently encountered back to back life changing events and we needed time for transition. 

It has been crazy for the past weeks! Can you believe that just eight days after I gave birth, we moved to our new house? Ha! Luckily, we did not have any hard time moving in since our families were kind enough to help us out. Of course, Miguel had to do all the "buhat" because I was not allowed to carry so much and share with the heavy work due to my recent c-section and besides, I was already tasked to carry the most important thing and that was our little girl. 

I have been really busy in taking care of Janna and so far she has not given me a hard time ever since day 1. Though, I admit, taking care of a newborn baby is not easy. It's really exhausting. Not to mention, that aside from taking care of her, I also need to clean the house, cook, do the laundry and of course to take care of my husband too. But despite all of these, I still feel very happy and blessed. Who would have thought that a spoiled brat like me can immediately switch in becoming a full time mommy?

The long wait is over!

More photos to come. :)

Never forget.

The BIG Move.

Today is the 14th, I only have a day 'til my estimated due date and I'm still very pregnant. We are all very excited for the big day but it seems that our little one is taking time for her big debut. My OB prescribed me to take evening primrose  to help ripen my cervix. I was advised to take it for a week and we'll see if I will progress. She also re-computed my EDD and told us that we have until the 27th to wait. So that's it. We don't have any choice but to WAIT. 

On the other side of things, Miguel and I are up for a new challenge. Aside from expecting our first born, we have also decided to add some more spice in our married life. HA! We decided to find our own place. Well, it was really part of our plan already but not until 2015. We decided to move because we believe that now is also the perfect time for us to experience how it is to live on our own. If we are not going to be ready now? Then, when? So we sucked in our guts and started looking for a place. 

Thank you for all the pretty things.

I just had to post this. 

Tita Louie just sent me a photo of the new things she bought for Janna and I can't help but to feel kilig because of its cuteness. 

As always, thank you for your generosity, Tita. We love you. I'm sure Chuchay will love all of her new things. :)

Day 1/60: On Leave and waiting.

My doctor told me that we should expect the baby to come out anytime soon. I'm currently on my 38th week by LMP and 37th week basing on my 1st ultrasound. She advised me to walk as much as possible because it will be helpful for my labor but I really can't wait to see our baby and so far all I can say is that, Nakaka-inip mag antay! HAHA 

As much as I want to tell our baby to come out already (How I wish it was that easy! HAHA), I can't and I don't want to pressure or force her in any way, because I know that she will come out in her own time, In God's perfect time. 

I just really pray that I'll be able to safely deliver her into this world, despite the numerous pregnancy stories that I've heard. I know that it will be really painful and all, but I promised myself that I am willing to endure all the pain because I know that everything will be worth it. 

So for now, I have no choice but to wait and just prepare for the big day. Thank you family and friends for your continued prayers. :)
