17 months after :)

It has been a while since I last posted but I just want to post a picture of little pod who lived inside my tummy for 38 weeks :)

One Week And Counting...

Hello My Baby Mateo :)

You and I are scheduled to meet face to face a week from today! :) Imagine that? We will finally meet! I cannot wait any longer my baby... :)

Although it is getting harder and harder to get any form of sleep nowadays, I know that we will be having less sleep when you are finally in my arms :)

I will see you soon okay? Mommy needs some rest. You and your daddy were going crazy about a song by matchbox 20 last night :) He was singing to you and you were dancing inside my womb... I don't know if you actually enjoyed your dad's voice though :) For his sake lets just pretend that you did :)

We love you :)

(yep... thats mommy... pic taken by your dad :)

almost there...

hi mateo :) you are now on your 34 weeks and 2 days AOG :) your daddy and i are so excited to see you and hold you! :)

we respond more to my voice now more than ever :) you are so cute tumbling making waves inside my tummy. you also like it when your dad and i read to you the books "guess how much i love you" and "things that are bigger than me"! listening to music also makes you happy :)

one month more and we will be meeting you na!

we love you!

and our journey continues...

hi mateo :) yep... i think this is it... we will name you MATEO :) that means "Gift from God" my little precious :)

We are a few days shy from the last trimester ... Time flies so fast and I still cannot believe that it has been seven months already! :) Your daddy and mommy are very excited to see you! We have been preparing for your arrival for months! Reading, shopping, talking to you, praying for you... EVERYTHING... :)

We still have no final decisions on some small details but we hope that we will be able to have some answers soon...

As for mommy, I'm doing okay... just a bit tired most of the time. Carrying you in my uterus can take a toll on my body but you are all worth it!!! :)

Rest up little boy... we will see you soon...

We love you!!!

Delayed Morning Sickness

Hello my little baby boy :) How are you? You are 26 weeks old today! You are a lot more active now! You like tumbling around your little room and poking me! You are usually very quiet when I work but quite playful whenever i am trying to get some sleep! Are you preparing me for the sleepless nights? :)

The downside now is that I have delayed morning sickness. I feel bad in the morning. Nauseated, heatburn and dizziness... :( It can take a toll sometimes and there are days thats more difficult than others. Work has been a bit depressing too :( The only thing that is making me smile is you and your daddy trying to cheer me up.

On the brighter side, we started shopping for your stuff already! :) Your Lola H and I went to Rustans and she bought you lots and lots of stuff! It was a bit challenging to find tiny tops and pjs for you little baby! :) Daddy and I also went shopping the week after. Your Tita C also sent me lots of stuff from your cousin L's loot when she was younger! :) Now we only have to decide on your crib... :)

I love you little baby!!!

Hello Little Baby Boy!

Rafa? Marcus? :) Daddy and I are still debating for the perfect name for our perfect little boy!

Mommy had her Congenital Anomaly Screening last week and now we now that you are a boy! Everyone was so excited and they even bet on what your gender will be :) Most of the people around me guessed wrong :)

I was a bit bored at work so I decided to to the ultrasound 2 days ahead of schedule. The Sonologist immediately asked me if I wanted to find out and I said yes :) She pointed out to me the "turtle-sign" which proved that you are indeed male :) I was so excited and happy especially that everything is okay with you! We counted 10 fingers, 10 toes etc :) The OB-Sonologist was kind enough to show me 4D pictures of you! You look so adorable! :) I still cant stop staring at your picture which is now the screensaver for dad's and mom's phones :)

In a few months I will finally hold you and Daddy will take more pictures of you! We cant wait :) I can feel you movement more now and i can see you at times! :) Daddy can even feel you inside me! Exciting times! The only downside is mommy is getting fat... :)

We love you little baby boy :)

16 weeks and 6 days :)

Hi Baby! :) How are you? :) We just past the first trimester! Congratulations baby! :)

I think today is the first time i felt you move! I was just bumming around the recep area of the clinic and when I stood up, I suddendly felt a fast stabbing pain on my tummy! Could it be you saying hello? :) Well, hello to you to my little one :)

Its been almost a month since I last blogged about you. Updates : I went to your tita Sherry to have my first prenatal check up and thank God everything is A-OK :) She was so amused that I had my own doppler and nice baby book to track your growth! :)

I just know that you are growing as you should :) Mommy's tummy suddenly got bigger! People can definitely see my baby bump! :) Daddy and your cousin took pictures of me and my tummy recently! Definitely time to slather on the lotion!!! :)

I really can't wait for me to hold you in my arms baby :) But I know that you have to stay inside of me to grow :)

I love you tiny baby :) Daddy loves you too!!! :)

PS ... we ordered your stroller already!!! shhhh!! :)
