19 Weeks pregnant and counting

The first picture is when we found out that we’re having a son

I’m 19 weeks pregnant :) this week and will be on my 20th next week. I can’t beleive how time flies very quickly..you know, pretty soon I’ll have my lil one with me.

My belly is getting bigger and bigger each week and I eat like a horse every meal time; that’s 2 cups of rice every morning, another 2 @ noon and another 2 @ night LOL. My cups are really not that big but they are doubled from what I’m used to. I love eating sweet foods too although I discipline myself into that, just as long as I can eat a scoop of ice cream or a glass of smoothie everyday, I’m good with that.

14-weeks-pregnantHealth wise, I’m back on the gym too :) and I am very happy about that. I walk the track for around 30 minutes and I lift some weights for another 20 to 30 minutes. I use to lift around 20 to 30lbs but I’m only doing 10lbs right now. I don’t want to strain myself and my baby.

And my baby boy…

He’s very active, he loves to kick mommy and wakes me up every 9am (our usual wake up time, I would know it because he’ll start kicking around this time and it hurts). There are times (night time) when he’s so active that it get’s uncomfy and I can’t sleep at all, so he pretty much keep me awake until 2 in the morning.

He loves his daddy’s hold though, whenever his daddy would touch him (put his hand on my belly) he settles down right away and I can rest (so that’s my trick lol ~shhhh, don’t tell him).14-weeks-pregnant2The photo above and this one is taken @ Hanauma Bay, Hawaii  when I was 14 weeks pregnant

And oh, I already started buying clothes for him, as early as 3 weeks ago. It’s never too early when you live here in the States (wala may nanay na mutabang~ walang mama na mahihingan ng tulong); the earlier I get to buy and get everything ready; the better. It’s just going to be me and my husband, it might look a lil tough but we’re looking forward to it (there are no rewind or pause..lol).

It’s going to be August pretty soon and I am looking forward on the 6th of August, that will be my 3rd ultrasound and I get to see my palangga again :) .. can’t wait :-)

What brand of laptop?

Do you want a new laptop or notebook? What brand? Is it Dell, Sony VAIO, Mac, HP, Lenovo and etc or what?

For me, I’m a Dell fan, My Dell laptop has been with me for 3 years and it never freezes on me, never crashed and hardware wise; it’s functioning real good. I always recommend Dell to any friends who would ask me but of course, to each is own. You might be a Mac or HP or Lenovo (or any other brand) user on which I haven’t tried so whatever works for you is fine and good with me ;-)

I’m taken cared of!

Since I got pregnant, I started reading things about parenting, pregnancy and health stuffs. There are different brands of prenatal vitamins for pregnant women that I or any other pregnant woman can take (like vitafol and etc).

But for me, health care is almost free since Carlo is in the military. The check ups, the ultra sound, the medicines, even when I give birth (4 months from now), and for any minor or major surgery (or rather I should say, we’re paying it cheaply because the military is still taking some x amount of money for health insurance; but it’s really cheap).

It feels great to have an easy access of health care too especially that this is my first time :)

Diamonds

Diamonds are girls best friend! It may not be all the ‘girls’ but most of ‘em..I mean us, LOL.

It looks very pretty in the hands and it feels nice to wear one. It’s not really a necessity but just something nice to wear. You can show it off (lol) if you want but really, it’s just pampering yourself or indulging yourself for an expensive treat. It’s a ‘want’ NOT a ‘need’ :) . So just buy one when you have an extra ;-)
