postheadericon 37th Week Prenatal Was Successful

And the best thing is, am all fine. Though as my doctor/OB-GYN told me that she's going to check my cervix and baby's weight on this prenatal day which did not happened, but it's fine, that is just minor. The important is my baby is all fine, safe and sound. Her heartbeat was 150 which is great. Along with the visit and that checking, I also asked about my dropping tummy, which I feel it goes down to which that is the normal process and that is what she wants to see. :-) About the Kegel exercise too, I was able to ask and she said, it does not matter to this time yet. She will going to ask me one week before my delivery date. And the third one (I rarely ask question because I have pamphlets and important books from her and from hospital which tells all about it) I asked was about I rarely feel her moving but maybe because I was asleep. And my doctor told me that I won't going to sleep if I cannot feel her moving in three times a day for at least ten times each. If my baby is sleeping, I have to wake her up by eating sweets or cold drinks to make sure or else I have to go to hospital and let her check (by heartbeat, doctor said) what's going on. So, that relieves me. 

One thing I did not like lately (just minor) was the waiting of getting my another week of doctor's visit/ prenatal. It was quite a long wait of waiting, really! --- which in fact, it only takes a minute to get it done for me. The other preggo which came before me to talk to the front desk had a problem that's why I waited so long. It sucks but then, I just let it by (or maybe I was not used with it). :-)

postheadericon Moms and Airsoft Guns

When you become a mommy, you will hardly have time even to take breaks and pamper yourself, especially when you have just given birth and you have an infant to nurse every so often. Of course your newborn child is now the all and be all your life and you world seem to revolve around him and you have no questions or regrets in doing it.

Although it is but natural to think of our children first before our own, it is also a must to be able to have enough time to relax, unwind and pamper yourself, occasionally. This will be beneficial for both you and your child in the long run. Indulge in something that relax you and relieve your stress of taking care of your baby day in day out. Or try to do something you have always loved doing before the baby arrives, update your blog, or call your old playmates and resume playing with Airsoft Gun during weekends. Browse through those online shops to update your arsenal or keep up with the latest trends in this type of leisure if you must.

Just try to do a little something that is all about you even once a week. You will thank yourself for it after a while. Trust me!

postheadericon Doctor's Appointment for Tomorrow

This tummy of mine is already 37 weeks and 5 days today. I can feel my tummy is going down. I can feel more of my tummy on upper leg than before. And I have a lot of contractions already. Contractions are just normal especially on this month that sooner the baby-in-my-tummy will soon come-out and see her real world. Smile. Yep. Time flies so fast huh! My journey being a mommy-to-be (for now) has not been an easy one (thankfully not also a hard one) but really a fulfilling though my baby is not yet here in my arms, soon enough she will be here.

Tomorrow I will be going for my OB-GYN or doctor's appointment. She told me that she will check the cervix aside from the normal checking of my urine, weight, blood pressure, baby's heart beat, size of my tummy and baby's weight. Probably she will try to check my baby's height. Last week, I was able to see her thru ultrasound and hopefully, I can also her in ultrasound by tomorrow. Ah, what a mommy's happiness! :-) 

postheadericon Effective Online Marketing

Website marketing has been proven to effectively promote products and services. Most companies now have their own website to market their products and services to a much wider market. There is an Online Marketing services provider that helps companies improve their website. It offer services such as Search Engine Optimization and promotion, link building, and management of emails and newsletters sent to customers.

Online Marketing analyze a website journey (just as like a mommy journey which analyzed and observed by an OB-GYN before she delivers her baby) and suggest ways on how each website can be improved. It also help produce relevant and unique content to the site which will create more visitors to their site. It implement changes to the website that can create a more effective marketing and promotion campaign. With a more improve website and more unique visitors, the website will then rank high amongst the other websites that are listed at major search engines. A website that lands on the first page of most major search engines means that the website has relevant content and that visitors will benefit from visiting them.

postheadericon 37 Weeks Today

Yep, the baby-in-my-tummy is already in full term. I am now 37 weeks pregnant, just today. Meaning, three (3) weeks to go and it's already my delivery date, in the midst of September.

Last Monday, I had my first weekly check-up by my OB-GYN. You read it right, I now have an appointment every week until I will be on labor. So far, the result is great. My doctor gave me a copy of my prenatal check-up results which she said I have to give to the nurse attending me when I will be on labor. All my results are fine so it is okay for me to party like a rockstar! Ha! There's no guarantee unless God said, yes. So, pray for me folks! Thanks in advance. :-) 

The baby-in-my-tummy weighed 6.2 lbs. two days ago as I had my check-up. Her heartbeat is 150 which the doctor says all are fine. I don't any problem either. And that should be thankful for. Thanks  goodness.

postheadericon My Rents

(Authored by Rickey Combs)

My mom and dad are the best parents in the world and when they moved into their new place just outside of Dallas I knew I wanted to do something special for them. I went to Direc4u.com and started researching satellite packages since my mom was really into food shows and my dad has always been all about football. They said it was a great gift since they could use it in the new place and it wasn’t something they would have bought for themselves! I was really happy for them to start this new chapter in their lives and I’m really pleased they chose to include me. I can remember not that long ago when I would have had to call them ten times a day to get one of them on the line because they were so busy at work! I’m glad they’re retired and finally get to rest for once in their lives and I really hope they take some time to spend together and really savor this moment in their lives, you know?

postheadericon On Preparing Baby Stuffs


One baby stuff that I prepare is, baby clothing to which I am sure she will need after I deliver her in this world, the real world.  I am on my steps of becoming a mom. Soon enough she will be here in my side, not on my womb anymore. In the midst of September is my due date. Now that is something to get excited. However, there is also something to get nervous. But that is the journey of being a mom. I just have to balance it, not too excited and not too nervous and alike. Or else I'll get pressured and will affect the baby-in-my-tummy.

Yes, I already bought baby stuffs, not just baby clothing but also baby blankets. It has been said and proven by many that cotton stuffs are much better than other kind of fabrics. Though not all what I bought are cottons but most of them are, or it contains mostly cotton. It would be best for her as newborn baby is very delicate as well as messy. So in time of washing, it would not be hard for the washing machine to take-out the dirt. :-) What could be better than that? 

I feel the need of knowledge on how to keep my baby warm because she will be born on cold season. As I know even during summer time, newborn should have to be wrapped around because her body could not yet adjust to her surroundings. That means, double or triple the need when it is Fall especially Winter Season. Sure, we have the heater to heat us up but when it is time for pediatrician visit and such, that is very much essential. And I am not in favor of using heater to keep us warm 24 hours. So baby clothes and such have to fit the weather condition.Thankfully I have it already prepared.

postheadericon Health Plan

Once you became a mother you would think of things that you do not usually thought about back when you were single. You will be worried sick about every tiny detail and would always want to be in control of every given situation. You will be all too worried about your well-being so you can be healthy all the time to look after and care for your child and you will start thinking of getting health insurance policies to be sure. And that's a word from a mommy friend of mine, and I do agree. I can see and feel it even though am not a fully mom yet. But only about a month more and I will be one like her, a mommy.

One of the best options, a mommy or a parent to consider is Ameriplan, it is the next best thing you can get next to an insurance policy or an alternative to insurance. We like to think that a company should offer a wide variety of medical and dental plan to cater to any one's individual needs and specification. What’s even better is you do not have to fill out complicated application forms to apply and avail of the services. As it has been said, Ameriplan offer unlimited health products, a wide variety of discounted items, and a 30-day money back guarantee, too. Being healthy and in the great health-assure journey has never been this easy!

postheadericon Me, Mean?

Does journeying into being a first time mommy also mean being mean? That is a big question to you mommy-to-be what is that meant. That could also either tag with a million dollar question or nothing on you, maybe.

Alright, the husband told the wife (mommy-to-be) that being her as a pregnant woman made her mean. What??? Well, maybe. Charge to experience, I can now say what I want and do not mind what he thinks. Ha! Especially on my first trimester, I just really say it and can care less. One time he was furious and I just said, you look like a pregnant woman. It might be my excuse, or it really is. This is one perk that I have being a mommy-to-be. He just let it go and think that it is because I am pregnant. He cares much of his daughter-to-be and do not want to hurt me saying unpleasant words (he used to be like that and care more that am pregnant), am sensitive wife, you know. Now, he is the one who is sensitive, and me the vice-versa. Ha! It is my turn. Oops! But sometimes, my mood swings and even just little nonsense stuff, it gets on my nerve. Ooh well. Blame it to pregnancy again. Grin. But, always remember that too much is bad, pregnant or not. Just a simple reminder.

postheadericon Spending Summer Outdoors

Summertime is that time again to spend a considerable amount of time outdoors, to ready your duffel bags and do not forget to bring your sun block, kick off the shoes for a more comfortable and colorful flip flops and put on those big sunnies to protect you from the sun’s rays.

The perfect destination to hit if you are on a budget and is traveling with the  little ones, is the neighborhood park. Let the children burn some pent up energies in the sandbox or in the park playground equipment. They can either take turns in the swing or play together in the seesaw. They can also rest and relax at the Park Benches while munching on packed sandwiches or other feast you have prepared sprawled in one of the Picnic Tables. They can also take sit side by side at one of those Adirondack chairs scattered around the park area while you take advantage of photo opportunities.

A trip to the nearby park is not only fun for the children or for mommy but for the parents as well. You can tag your best friend along and catch up what’s going on with each other’s lives while the kids play along. You can also try trekking for a bit of workout and sight seeing. Lots of fun to be at the local park, really!

postheadericon The Secret to Losing Pregnancy Weight

Having a child is truly a blessing and this new chapter on a woman’s life brings both excitement and uncertainties. One of the things that pregnant women need to endure is the nine months of waiting and as your body goes through a lot of changes during this period one inevitable thing is to gain some weight.

For some weight gain is not an issue but if you are determined to lose those pregnancy weights remember to do it the right away. Your body needs time to recuperate and adjust after childbirth hence it is important not to perform strenuous activities especially the weeks after giving birth. Here are some of the secrets on how to shed those pounds in a healthy manner: Eat in moderation. Do not go on a starvation mode because it will not do you any good. Remember that your body needs all the nutrients especially if you are breastfeeding. Do not deprive yourself with a healthy diet; rather eat your portions in moderation. Always stay hydrated by drinking a lot of water during the day. Avoid carbonated drinks and coffee and just switch to healthier alternatives such as fresh fruit juice and teas. A healthy and balanced diet could help your body recover faster.

If you are thinking about workout and exercise, it is better to consult with your doctor first. Let your physician know about your weight loss plan and determine if it’s too early to start working on it. Being back on the treadmill might not be a good idea but there are light household chores that could also help you sweat out and burn calories.

Just remember to always think about your safety and health before trying any diet or exercise regimen. In the end an advice from your doctor or fitness professional could help you plan the right way to lose pregnancy weight.

postheadericon 35 Weeks Pregnant

And no other than yours truly. Yes, I am 35 weeks and three (3) days pregnant today. And am having a lot of contractions (tightening of my tummy which can be a sign of false or real labor) but a false labor. Okay, am not yet on labor but could anytime have it. It's just that if it would happen, my baby is in premature state. So not good. I should keep away from stress and other activities that would get me into early labor. 

Ooh well, few more weeks and am good to go. To deliver a baby is somewhat I don't want to imagine, well, not to worry. I have to keep in mind to relax so it won't pressure me especially in time of delivery.

By the way, I had my OB-GYN/doctor's visit/ prenatal last two days ago and it went fine. My doctor check my birth canal and some infection if there is. I do not know yet the result but she said, if no phone call from her, that means no problem. I hope nothing. I am confident. Chaarrr... ha! ;-) My baby's heartbeat by the way is 160 which is perfectly fine. My weight is 139.5 which is fine too as doctor said. As well as my blood pressure, no problem. Thanks goodness! Other than that, nothing else. I just have to count baby's movement three times a day and ten times in one session/hour. Meaning, she should move at least 30 times a day in total in morning, afternoon and evening! Whew! I have some shortness of breath, palpitation, backache but that is normal especially on this stage. Good luck to me! Smile.

postheadericon Dental Care

A family need a dentist, absolutely for dental care. Our teeth, is one of the important part of our five senses which need to take care of. If not, one day you will not know you will have an oral problem, if not an oral cancer, God forbid!. But that is the fact that we have to face if we will not take good care of our teeth. We need a dentist, the Best Dentist, we deserve and can rely on in times of cleaning, examination and any problem arises. And not only that, a dentist which listens to what we like to have. Someone who can  help us and we would not feel fearful of dental accessories and such, in time when it is needed. 

For me, I would love to work with a company which is flexible with time. On-time and extended-time. In short, can be flexible. Knows how to treat clients, not the way that they treat you like a machine. Accommodating staff and dentist, is what everybody wants, don't you think? I bet you are trying to find (if haven't find yet) that company huh! Because I would love to have that too! That is perfect for my family or yours. Soon enough by mid of September, I will deliver the baby-in-my-tummy, our little one. I and DH then need advises from our dentist on how to take good care of our baby's teeth and when to go for dental care appointments. In that way, she will be healthy. Mommy/mommy-to-be have to do everything for her family and her little one.

postheadericon Big and Tall Clothing for Men

Luxury clothing need not be expensive but you just have to know and smart enough to get discounts and look for sale ones.

I would like to suggest this online portal for him when he plan to buy something, an outfit and alike. Or when I plan something to give to him. KINGSIZE have also sale/clearance so if you are a big fond of sale like me, then you won't be disappointed when searching such though it is great to buy the one that you really like/want which doesn't matter if it is in clearance or not.

postheadericon Done On Ironing Baby Clothes

I had a long day today. Yours truly thought of doing something in the computer but my mind was nowhere to find. I though of the baby clothes lying in the living room waiting to be ironed, folded and arranged for how many days. Well, let me just say it was just one day before going a week that it was being washed. Alright, I straightened them so I it's not hard to iron. I supposed not to iron it but I got a lesson learned. I should had not put the two loads of washed clothes in one dryer (blame it to the laundry area, only one dryer here in the complex, bad cheetah. Ha!) thinking I could save some quarters and time. But then, not! It doubled my work. When I had it one by one load in the dryer, ironing is no way for me because the dryer will straightened the clothes since it has a lot of space while it was spinning. All I supposed to do was then to fold it directly out from the dryer. And that's what a lesson to learn for me. But no regrets because, the damage has been done and I was running of time and quarters (to put in the dryer to function). DH even did the other two loads (four loads all which I made it into only three loads in the dryer) and was not able to come with me in the Birthing Class I had the other week (Wednesday) to attend such drying thing. Well, it was good for DH on the other hand that he was not able to come with me because he was just came from work for ten hours and was tired. And so that was it, I had it ironed overtime lately. My back hurts a bit and such but I was determined to finish it. All in all, that clothes was displayed for more than a month lying in our living room because I had it complete at the same time, it can be washed in one. There would be something coming but the important ones are already complete. The other good thing is our simple couch in the living is already free of baby clothes and my mind can already relax thinking about it already arranged and such. :-) This mommy-to-be done all that ironing, folding and arranging after 11 P.M. lately from 2 P.M. with two short naps, overtime eh?! I just had my siesta and snacks and will sleep in a minute. Whew! What a long and a bit of tiring day (thanks goodness am safe and sound) !

postheadericon Hawaii Houses for Sale

We love to have our own house, don't we? Okay, everybody loves to own one or even several houses. A typical person working a typical job, owning a dream house is hard to get especially in places where houses are in-demand. It is surely expensive in that area. Prospective buyer is in a journey of looking for sale or the down-priced ones hoping he/she is lucky enough to own one or in the future. And what about living in Hawaii? Is Hawaii your dream place to live one day? Or a vacation place perhaps? I bet you would like to have a house there. Good thing, it is a perfect timing now because there are many Houses for Sale in Hawaii nowadays. Who knows you are one lucky person to own one just by browsing and checking it out which would lead to a prospective one.

As a mommy-to-be point of view, it is really great to have a house of our own (if we can afford and does not conflict to our spouse job location and alike to the sense that it is less hassle and we have steady place of stay aside from the word, it is or "own"). A newborn baby can also disturb people in the neighborhood and if we don't have a comfortable place, it is shameful to them. The point is "being comfortable" and having our "own" . :-)

postheadericon Fabulous, Stylish Plus Size Formal Dress

Well, I guess every mommy/mommy-to-be likes to wear fabulous formal dresses, don't you think? For me, slim or plus size women does. For some other nation (well, mostly, if not most), thin ones are an "in" thing but not here in USA. Everybody is entitled for fashion. Plus size women fit-in with fabulous plus size formal dresses and any kind of clothing and accessories. Plus size women can play with their measurements and still looks fab and amazing just like the thin ones. I love seeing plus-size women with curves! Well, such curves can be seen depending on the style of clothing/outfit women wear. So playing with their measurement is definitely great! Thanks goodness there are many plus size clothing available everywhere or even at the tip of one's mouse.

This mommy-to-be is fond of dresses. I like dresses, shoes and purses but when I have to choose only one, the very first is like most. I guess I have this fondness because when I was young, I was not fortunate enough to have fabulous dresses even with special occasions like birthday, Christmas and other occasions alike which you think a dress is just a typical new on those times. Poor me but I accept. I did not regret because that was my fate but now that I can afford to buy some, I indulge with it even sometimes. :-) Why not! :-) What about you, do you love dresses too?

postheadericon 138 Lbs, Doctor's Visit/ Prenatal

I had my doctor's appointment yesterday. This mommy-to-be is not overweight anymore. Yey! Thanks goodness to my diet goal. :-) Am dieting but not under-eating, okay? If you were following my posts, I was once told by my OB-GYN/doctor a sort of overweight, well she just said "what happened to your weight? Your weight should be like this" . Alright, she did not tell me that because I was underweight or I have a normal weight, you bet! I like the way she handles her patients like me because I then watched what I ate (or eat, until now am still watching and behaving great) because I want to do the normal process of baby delivery or at least, I am following the normal way of pregnancy pattern.

Aside from my weight happiness, I was also examined the normal routine pregnancy journey of giving urine test and blood pressure monitor. And all are fine. The baby-in-my-tummy's heartbeat was normal as well, it is 150. My tummy's measurement at 34 weeks and 2 days old is 35 centimeters which also great. All-in-all are fine. Thanks God. I just have to suffer looking at the stretch marks and the legs cramp, palpitation and shortness of breath, those are normal during this period anyway.

I had no ultrasound again for that visit but that is fine as long as the baby-in-my-tummy is healthy, that is what matters to this mommy-to-be.

postheadericon Plus Size Dress

Plus size is very much different from obese. And I guess you already know that. My OB-GYN is very much particular with weight. She will tell her patients if she is already at the neck of going overweight or overweight itself. But that does not mean big women are overweight, okay? As what I know, this depends unto her height and the structure. Afar from that, I do not know where it leads or should I say I would just not say anything but plus size women need plus size dresses to fit for their measurement. If you have the 12W-44W measurement, then I suggest you may like to check out Roamans E-Store for such and indulge the different style of clothing and other women accessories for your need (as well as your wants/luxury). Women deserves luxury as well, so worry-not if you have bucks to back-up for such to get your own. *smile*

As for me as a mommy-to-be, being a mommy does not mean being plus-size but if our body expands (to which I always hear from my mommy friends, hopefully height expands too), then that will be the time that we then need a plus size dresses. We should not worry about that, but the bucks to pay for it because all the clothes we have will be undersized and that means, new clothes and others! Otherwise, not a biggie deal because plus size clothing are just right in the corner. :-)

postheadericon Plus Size Clothing for Women

You already know USA has known for big plus sizes. Yes, women is included with that especially the mommies. I am not surprised at all. And it is not bad, it is just a size. We got to play with what we have. After all, there are many plus size clothing available. If you are from size of 12-32 in modern plus-size woman classic feminine apparel, then you got to check it out. There is nothing to worry about when it comes to fashion. There are many fashionable clothes for plus size woman like you just like the style of the thin folks. Isn't that great?

When it comes to plus size fashion search journey for plus size women, look no further  Should I say more? You should better check it out for yourself to know more! Have fun and enjoy shopping and such!

postheadericon OB-GYN / Doctor's Appointment for Later Afternoon

Am on my 34th weeks and 2nd day of my mommy-to-be journey. And another Obstetrics-Gynecologist/ Doctor's prenatal appointment later afternoon for my third trimester pregnancy. Another appointment, hoping for another ultrasound too. Last two appointments prior this time, nothing ultrasound unlike the other visits. Again, hopefully I can see my the baby-in-my-tummy tomorrow through it. I cannot wait. :-)

I currently experiencing tightening of my right slipper. You know that left food is bigger than right. Meaning this could be a sign of beri-beri which is normal for pregnancy. But I hope I won't experience it.

I said later afternoon by the way because it is already dawn time here in my end and of course it considers as already morning. This also means that I have to go to bed couple of minutes from now getting ready for later. And yep, it is fine if I have to wake-up late (hope DH would not demand of an early breakfast or else I am obliged to) because the appointment is 2:00 P.M. (the dental appointment was rescheduled to 26th of August and no biggie deal). After that, I have to go to store to buy a simple birthday gift for the daughter of my baby shower host for Sunday (too bad, I guess I cannot attend because it is not good for my situation, big tummy aside from the venue is a bit far, I just have to give something for the good friendship). 

postheadericon For Sale Homes in Hawaii

There are many folks here USA that would love to spend and explore the rest of their lives journey in tropical countries. I can see Hawaii as being part of the 50 states of United States of America (obviously not a country but a state) has that weather condition which Americans and other international folks would really love to live in this place. There is no reason (when it comes to weather) to go out in another country just to look for such beautiful weather condition but Hawaii. There are many homes for sale in Hawaii right now which, are looks-like-new since as it has been said, it were only occupied for just a year! Who knows your dream house could be located in one of their real states! Mommy/mommy-to-be would love to indulge the beautiful beaches for their mommy-hood/pregnancy journey. If you have a wife like that, she would really love to enjoy such. Well, you two like to live in tropical climate, then why not check it out for yourselves, right?

postheadericon Awful Pregnancy Stretch Marks

You guess it right, I have it. I never thought I would have it since I am always (well, not that always) putting up a cocoa butter as my friends told to which it was proven and tested on them. But not to me. Yes, I have an awful stretch marks on my belly. My ob-gyne even saw it awful but nothing we can do. On the other hand, I view it as a sign of being a mom and loving it! Am still putting up cocoa butter though. My friends and husband advise me not to stop putting up cocoa butter (my ob-gyne gave me some ointment to put in times of itchiness too) and I do it.

For now, am just loving the itchiness of the stretches which eventually forms of what is called "stretch marks" since I cannot do something about it. No, it's not great having stretch marks but I am embracing it completely instead of complaining.

What about you mommy/mommy-to-be? How do/did you deal with the stretch mark/s?

postheadericon Another Busy-ness Thingy for August

There's other class (aside from that three classes) that this mommy-to-be plan to attend for my journey to become a good first-time parent/mommy, it is The Happiest Baby on the Block Class but I just won't. Instead, I will just going to buy a Parent's DVD for it and watch it at home which cost $15 instead of a class cost $20. It's not about the payment that I won't attend the class but the comfort I will get at home. It's not that I am not comfortable in class but I just like it that way. This class/DVD will let me learn the 5 simple ways to turn on my baby's calming reflex (the 5 S's) and become the best baby calmer on the block. :-) It is to learn step-by-step on how to help my coming-baby sleep longer as ell as calm and soothe even the fussiest baby in minutes... even seconds (as it has been said) and much more. I just can't wait for it. :-)

By the way, I was not yet able to wash baby clothes because I am still waiting of my order online to complete such. I want to wash it in one time to save liquid soap. Oops! Nope, I just like to arrange it in one order. I know it would be for cold and warm cycle so it would only be two loads for washing and two loads for drying and that's it. Will then iron the need-to-be-ironed ones, for sure not all of it. :-) The folding and arranging will make it time-consuming but I love it! Then will going to prepare the small traveling bag for hospital needs both for me and my coming-baby, as well as some of daddy's need too like snacks to munch-on. :-)
