38 weeks of gestation!

Went to Megamall for my weekly appointment with my OB doctor. The photo shows you the nurse station of Clinica Manila. According to my OB, baby dropped a little bit already compared to last week’s IE, but there is no cervical dilation yet. I know. I guess baby would love to stay in my tummy longer but we hope she comes out next week before my next OB appointment which is going to be on Friday. I gained half a pound that makes me 132.5 lbs. now.

Also, went to SM’s customer service located at the 3rd floor to pay for my debt. I was so glad that they accept Citibank VISA payment.

Merry Christmas!

Makeup in 2012!

I cannot wait to update my makeup next year. My skin tone is much lighter now than months ago that made me stop using this Stila One-Step Makeup Foundation bottle, which I purchased over a year ago. Its shade is in Tan 06 and I am thinking to give this away before it expires.

Also, I am thinking to change makeup brands like switching to MAC Cosmetics or Majolica Majorca. Or give me cheeky recommendations in the comments. heehee.

Living room’s new look

Yesterday, Hunny re-arranged our living room. Our cat Pixie is kind of stressed out again because she does not like change. lol.

Updated hospital bag

How’s your annuity doing? I am turning my weekend vacation bag (sorry, not photographed) into my hospital bag. My mother-in-law paid a visit and helped to pack things. She liked the bag because it was roomy and she thought it was fashionable. lol. These are the items that I just recently bought that I am going to bring on my labor day:

  • Maternity binders from SOGO
  • Underpads from Caress
  • Maternity pads from Modess (non-wing)
  • Disposable Diapers for Adult from CARE

Mostly these are my post-partum items except for the Underpads, which can be also used by the baby. I hope I am not missing anything.

New theme, yeah?

If you are reading my blog through a reader maybe you are still unaware that I am now using a new theme, not really a new theme, but I am using WordPress’ default theme at the moment. I had to trash the old one because it had some malicious content aka virus. My blog went up and down for few times, my blog’s index was tweaked without my knowledge, the spammers went from 300 to 12k, etc. It was annoying. And my AdSense earnings were also affected.

I contacted my host to seek for help because I did not want to deal with stress because I am pregnant. And he suggested to change the theme.

Everything is fine now. I hope.

The Adventures of Tintin + pregnancy woes

Saw Tintin the movie few days ago, it was great! Then I discovered a new pregnancy woe. After the movie, the back of my right leg suffered from shooting pain. I thought it was scary because I’ve never experienced that — Never felt that kind of pain in my entire existence. I also had a random thought that it was the turkey/chicken burger I just ate from Taters that caused the pain lol but of course, I blamed the long sitting inside the cinema or the chair.

I looked it up on Google and it says that it could be the baby’s position. Baby might have kicked my sciatic nerve located in the lower part of my spine.

Anyway, I am glad the pain is gone now. I don’t want to experience such a pain like that. It was awful.

Going 37 weeks tomorrow!!!

35 weeks!

I am now 35 weeks pregnant!!! So excited but nervous at the same time. My mother instincts are not yet kicking in, I wonder why but Google says it’s normal for first time moms. I gained a pound which makes me 131 lbs. I am suffering from edema as well but my OB says that it’s not really alarming and it’s normal as long as it goes away in the morning or every time I lift my feet up.

I am so glad that it’s raining today and kind of cold. I have been literally so hot. It’s nice that I can wear these RockyMountainTrail.com north face jackets at last. I want to go to Tagaytay because of this.

I just hope I’ve reached the full term mark, which is the 37th week and that would be in two weeks. I plan to buy my maternity pads and binders/support next week.

Weight during pregnancy

I am pregnant and I will be talking about weight loss pills. Just kidding.

My last weight check was last Friday and I weighed 130 lbs. Now I know what is like to be fat. lol. My pre-pregnancy weight was somewhere between 110 lbs. to 112 lbs. I believe I will be gaining more pounds these coming weeks, maybe 5 more pounds. However, my legs, arms, and face haven’t gotten fat yet, just my uterus (of course! lol.) and maybe my thighs and buttocks.

6 weeks to go and it is nerve wracking to think that next year I will not be pregnant anymore. Anyway, cannot wait to see the baby!
