Week 24-25

Pwera Usog

Nung isang araw habang naglalakad papasok sa opisina e nakita ko na naman yung lola na palaging nag-aabang sa daan ng kung sinuman ang dadaan. May isang pangyayari noon na may dala siyang aso at pinagmamalaki niya sa lahat ng nakakakita na ang cute daw ng aso niya. Astig nga si lola e. Kulay royal blue ang salamin. Pansin ko na maraming ganung klaseng matanda dito. Sabik sa kausap. Malayo pa lang alam kong kakausapin niya ko. Tuwang-tuwa siya nung napansin niya na anlaki ng tyan ko. Tinanong niya kung kambal ba sila at kung alam ko na kung babae o lalaki. Ilang months na at kelan ako manganganak. Hawak din siya ng hawak sa tyan ko. Pag daw lumabas si baby  ipakita ko sa kanya. Gustuhin ko mang magtagal para kausapin pa siya e kailangan ko ng umalis dahil papasok pa ako at nagdurugo na rin ang ilong ko sa pagintindi at pagsalita ng Nihongo. Naalala ko tuloy ang aking yumaong lola.

Pagkalipas ng 2 araw nakita ko naman sa supa (supermarket) yung pilipina na dati naming ka-street. Hindi na niya ako maalala kaya ako na ang unang bumati sa kanya. Malilimutin din si Ateng sa pangalan. Pero hindi naman ako madaling ma-offend sa ganung bagay. Konting chika-chika dahil nagmamadali rin siya. Tinanong niya ko kung kambal daw ba ang anak ko kasi anlaki ng tyan ko. Iwasan ko raw pagkain ng kanin at kumain palagi ng isda at gulay. Baka kaya pagdating ng aking ika-walaong buwan ng pagbubuntis e mukha na siyang 12 buwan (0_o)

kinuwento ko sa nanay ko yung lola na chumika sakin...

ako: lam mo may nakasalubong ako na matanda kanina....blah blah blah
mother dear: naku nag-pwera usog ka ba?
ako: hindi
mother dear: kapag ganyang may nakakausap ka na hindi mo kilala at natutuwa sayo mag pwera usog ka. kaahit sabihin mo lang. mahirap na.
ako: ok

kinagabihan biglang sumakit ang tyan ko. humilab at bigla na lang ako nagtae. ninerbiyos nga ako dahil akala ko si baby na yung sumasakit. hindi ko alam kung may kinalaman ito sa pwera usog na sinasabi ng nanay ko.

Week 23

July 31
Lola OB and I met again for my check-up. I waited a little longer this time before my name was called. She advised that I should lessen my intake of salty foods as it was seen in my last test that the result was high (I forgot the term for that test). This is also to prevent edema. Baby is growing well as was seen in the ultrasound. After my pelvic ultrasound I got confused because the staff took my shoes and found a pair of slippers on the floor. After waiting for a few minutes the staff called my name and wasn't expecting that Lola OB will be doing a transvaginal ultrasound. According to her she will be checking my uterus. And of course I had to sit on "the chair". After the ultrasound Lola OB told me that my uterus was clean and normal and my next check-up is on August 22.

while talking to my mom on  the phone....

ako: pano ko ba malalaman na minamanas ako?
mother dear: pag namaga paa mo. tapos pag pinindot mo lulubog daliri mo.
ako: e pano yun matagal ng mukhang maga paa ko (e kasi naman ang taba ko)
mother dear: wahahahaha

Week 21-22

The Acrobat

The greatest feeling I've felt so far during my pregnancy is being able to feel baby's movements inside my tummy. Baby never fails to amaze me everytime he/she moves. There are times when I get startled by his/her sudden movements. At first I was the only one who was able to feel it . After some few days Basuraman was able to feel baby too and we were able to see my belly move! Sometimes I would imagine baby doing somersaults or even breakdancing haha We were thinking baby might be a boy because of his/her active movements but according to the net it is normal and doesn't necessarily means that baby is a boy.

Usually I feel baby's big wiggles/kicks/punches during these times: before I go to sleep, before I take my lunch (around 11am), before I take a short nap after lunch and after eating dinner. As of this typing, baby is moving, pretending to be a little drummer boy/girl. While sitting or lying on bed, sometimes I would just stare at my belly and wait for baby to move ^_^
