This pregnant woman was with my friends and kids in a house (in my friend Preciel's house), in the backyard particularly. Her backyard is cool and slightly hill with a big tree, that is why even if the weather is hot, it is still cool in there. You will feel cool because of its atmosphere. It is also pretty big and we like to stand-by in there in the afternoon. Now, here comes her dog, a poor dog was dead. Preciel even cried because that is a very loyal dog, not to mention of how many years that dog was with her. Being guarded and protected is such a heavy feeling of an owner when he's gone and I can feel the pain. Anyway, the couple buried it on their backyard. And one friend wants to see the buried place. Dorie thought it is located afar not knowing it was just near where we stayed. Because of curiosity, I went with Dorie and kids up then picked-up some fruits too which Preciel's kid got for us. I was happy reminiscing the province field. It looked-like we are in a province though we're just in a backyard slightly uphill with some fruit and tall grasses. Reminiscing that life was some kind of really, really fun. Then off we went down, there you go, I slipped on a cogon grass! Goodness! Because of excitement I forgot am pregnant. My behind bumped-in and eyes became big in the thought that there would be something happened, "hope not" in my thought. Dorie got startled and comforted me. She got my hands and helped me going down until I sat in a chair. She and my other two friends really got worried. But I was fine. Thanks God. Dorie even monitored me even when I was already at home. But I felt nothing and did not even went to doctor and told her. I was fine and doctor can't see any problem on my pregnancy so I just didn't told her but I have to be extra careful.
This pregnant woman is not a perfect person. I guess everybody, not. Meaning, we make mistakes (just like my shopping journey of my maternity clothes) and we just have to learn from it and we are good to go. The dominating color red below was one of the maternity dresses that I like. I made a couple of looking-out unto it before I made a decision that I have to buy it. Days later, I found myself did not like it anymore. Good thing, I did not use or wash it yet. And the tag was still there.
That stripe shirt was intentionally put in there so the dominating color red dress is visible. :-) Though that black and white stripe shirt is also memorable to me. Why? That is so, because that is my first shirt bought after I knew I am pregnant and was used during a gathering of friendship in Almansor Park in the city where I live. I am confident it suits me good. :-) So the only item I return in the pic is no other than the dominating red color. That's a maxi but not that long, it's just coincide to my height. What I don't like is the garter-look above my tummy. I can sense this dress will outgrew fast on my progressive size of my tummy. No matter how I like it, my precious baby-in-my-tummy is far more important. And yep, I returned it. Was accepted without any question's ask because of all the store's tag is present.
Some of the maternity dresses I bought, was being taken once though several of them bought one batch at a time. Lazy preggo, eh? yeah, you bet! Ha ha!
Okay, I was advise to exercise daily if there's no complications. 30 minutes at least, half at a time, meaning after 15 minutes, I have to rest. Then another 15 minutes afterwards. Since a clothing store is just near in our home, I just walked then going there at the same time having my exercise. DH gave enough bucks to comfort my needs. That is for maternity dresses. And below was another batch to fulfill the becoming bigger belly of this mommy-to-be and enjoy my pregnancy journey.
I bought a couple of half-slips and brassieres with attached shirt of same color but different sizes. In that way, there's no excuse for me to say dress that up. :-)
A mommy-to-be journey needs a maternity dresses. It may not be on her first quarter but in the later months because a tummy would be big. And only dresses that is especially made for pregnant women is the best for the baby to be comfortable inside and yes, so mommy is also comfortable. Since I am pregnant, I also need maternity dresses like any other pregnant. And so below are just one of those.
The above dresses are my formal wears. Sleeveless ones are meant for a blazer which not a problem for me because aside from that below of that four maternity dresses pictured, I also have several in my closet which is great for such. Happy me that I won't be dying just to find blazers that fits me! Whew! :-)
Image below was taken on this mommy-to-be simple birthday celebration. A simple friends gathering wasn't plan ahead of time. That was in the 11th hour of a plan. First I was just planning of going to church and that's it but then my friends greeted me by phone and text, in Facebook too (without putting my birthday there) so I just realized I have to be with them on that day. And some of my friends came unto our rendezvous, the Golden Buffet where we love to eat out loud. Ha ha! Of course, to bond one another.
My DH came and we had a photo shot. My tummy isn't that visible because of my dress but really, it is already visible that time. Looks like am not pregnant in that dress, right? He he! Anway, below was before we had our eating-out-loud moment. Wink. Am so glad they came even it wasn't planned ahead. I thank them of their gifts too.
Images above are just two of a kind though we had a lot of shots. A remembrance of my pregnancy journey on my birthday. :-)
May 8th was a feast of Saint Michael, the Archangel. It is in Mahinog, Camiguin, the place where my paternal clan live and rooted, Mahinog Camiguin. September is the real month of but folks celebrated the feast and pigging-out in May though prayer is still made on the particular date in the month of September. The May feast celebration also the time that I commemorate the death date of my beloved Uncle, the brother of my father. I sent some amount for his 10 years to add for the clan gathering and prayer. And at the same time I add for an offering for Saint Michael, the Archangel feast for thank you from my family and a prayer for my pregnancy and delivery soon, hoping he will guide me through.
Other place where I grew-up in Magting, I also sent something for an offering for the same cause. Now am also asking you to pray for me. Thanks in advance and God bless of your big heart! ~hugs&kisses~
I also has slippers and flip flops bought which I did not give a detail through posting like some others. It's not that I don't want to but I just cannot cope up with time. I also have life more than blogging. Ha! Alright, so here's this time for such (including the not-so-clean one, sorry for the pic).
(You can enlarge photos by clicking any of the images you like to enlarge should you like)
Most of those I bought during this pregnancy moment of mine. There's another more but this is just for now. :-)
