80% My Child is a Girl!

12:51 AM | Posted by Cacai M. | | Edit Post

You may already know that from my doctor's/ob-gyn appointment last Friday (today is Sunday), I had an ultrasound in the clinic and my ob-gyn told me 80% I would be having a baby girl. My DH told me too that he could not see any sign of a gender of a boy in an ultrasound so he agrees without doubt. :-) Me, I do not know how to look at an ultrasound but hearing such is a happy thought. Ear-to-ear smiles again. :-) You know that I like my baby of either a boy or a girl as long as he/she is healthy but am more favor of a girl though I like it both. :-) DH also has the same thought with me. In fact, he already has a name if it's a girl. Okay, for thrilling, I will just give you her name, it's SAM. :-) By the way, I will be having another ultrasound from an imaging this Friday and I guess this time, we will know the 100% accuracy though that 80% is as same as the latter since that ob-gyn as proven by my friends is very accurate in looking for gender.

Apart of my happiness last Friday, my ob-gyn told me that all my medical conditions are great. My UTI already cleared after giving me a days of 6-hours interval for that 500 mg. medicine. I am afraid such will going to kidney condition. Thanks goodness it's already fine. Okay, pregnant women are prone to UTI. In fact almost all, if not all. But it is not good, you know. So it has to be treated before having a labor. And also my liver, kidney are all fine. My cholesterol is 205 out of 300 most pregnant women have which my ob-gyn told me I have great result. And the NT or Neuro Test is 1/1500, see how far is the number. So I no longer need another exams for birth defect tests since there's nothing to worry about after my second test which is cool. Also, I already gained five (5) pounds. Yey! By the way, I heard my baby's heart beat of 170 and she moves a lot whilst the doctor have a test or how do you call that one. I never thought/feel or I just do not know, that my baby moves a lot. Alright, she will be five months (regular month, or already five months for 28 days counting for every month good for 10 months) this coming 7th the next month or May. What else? Ooh yeah, many already ask when is my due date. And it will be on September 15th. Hopefully will be having a baby shower the last week of June (if it will be pursued, hopefully it will). So that's it. Will update more. My maternity shopping is on-going. ;-) DH let me shop four times of bundle already and the latest or maybe the last bundle is coming next week (I shop online for it, the second time from four times). *wink* I'll update and put pics next time. muahhh!

Mommy-To-Be @ 30

3:03 PM | Posted by Cacai M. | | Edit Post

I do not like to reveal my age but it is great unto my ears listening the rhyming words, am a "mommy-to-be @ 30" ! Whew! What a great news and what a phrase! :-)

Me and my hubby decided to enjoy our marriage as two, that was why when he got as fiancee and came here after a day we went to get a birth control pills. Yes, we were not married yet that time but it was possible. And so right after the next day of stepping unto the Land of Opportunity (USA), I already have my birth control pills. And no regrets. Until November of 2010, we decided for me not to take the birth control pills anymore. And so it did. And that time too was my vacation to my birth country (Philippines), so it was less hassle for me thinking of maintaining to take the bc pills as I took it diligently.

Then January 25th, I was ill. As in chills, headache, eyes, ear problem, body aches, fever and cold so I was in bed for such period. More story here, about my sick days before I knew I was pregnant. Then on 6th day I was scheduled to see my doctor as the other days was weekends and other weekdays were my observation days, so definitely I was checked Monday, the 6th day of my sickness. The doctor's visit resulted to  prescriptions of tylenol for my medical problem or the chills and prenatal vitamins when found out am pregnant (after the blood test) and the highlight of need to have a pregnancy test through blood test. Since the clinic no longer attend blood test, I was sent to two blocks away from the place for my laboratory or blood test. And so I went. Without knowing that I need to have a fasting (no eating after dinner, just water until 9 am {my schedule} or when am tested for blood test), so I had to go back the next day. February 1st, I had my blood test for pregnancy. The result could get after 24 hours my doctor Jillian Payne told. I called the next day but the front desk told there's no result yet, a bit disappointed as I was excited to know, if yes or not. Then came the next day, I called again, front desk/customer service of my doctor's office told it's still not yet. :( Then afternoon came, my doctor called me and told me, I AM PREGNANT! All smiles, grinning from left to right though I was only the person at home. :-) Hubby also delighted after I told him on the phone after my doctor's conversation. Happy us! :-)
