Mommy Moments- Preggy Days

I love this week’s Mommy Moments theme: Preggy Days. If you want to share your stories and photos with us, join us!

My first pregnancy was really difficult, I throw up a lot. I had morning sickness all day long. I was smoking then and quitting was hard (but I was able to) So there’s the morning sickness plus withdrawal symptoms, what more can you ask for? I am stay at home, that’s the good thing about it. We have planned on this pregnancy months before it was conceived. It was late 2002 when we planned on getting married and he kinda proposed on my birthday (FEb 2003).. Don’t say your “aww he is so sweet” line coz there is not a trace of romance on the way he proposed.. here it how it goes,, something like.. OK you’re 21 now, call your mom, tell her to take care of the papers for the wedding. Just that.. more of a command that a proposal LOL And so I got pregnant on January (do you really want to know the exact date?) and we planned our wedding on Feb (not knowing I am already preggy) to happen on March. Financials get in the way and we moved it to May.. then we learned I was preggy and move it back to March. I also had some emotional roller coaster then, and had a hard time giving birth.. And since I am stay at home and have a lot of emotional tantrums, I sleep most of the times, I don’t move a lot, I gave birth late. My due date was October 17 but gave birth (Kayil, 7.5 lbs) on the 24th, only because i walked non stop on the 23rd.

I am 2 weeks pregnant with Chico.. we were not sure yet.. but we know.

Kayil was 9 months when we learned that I was pregnant again, that was very traumatic to me.. He was a cry baby and I am a first time mom with no help (I am far away from my mother). He is breastfed purely but I have to wean him for the baby.. and the memories of my delivery is still fresh (even the wound! ugh!). I gave birth to Kayil in Valenzuela, as I have said I had a hard time giving birth. My OB is the nicest person on that field (our OBs are angels!). We moved to Pasig when Kayil was 6 months old. I travelled to and from Valenzuela just for my OB.. and gave birth to Mico in Bulacan.

6th month

Chico is not planned, just as with Mico. I was into birth controls after Mico but stopped because of the side effects. Took us 6 months of birth control free before Chico was conceived. Morning sickness were here again. Throwing up again and again.. withdrawal symptoms ( I was smoking again). I had some infections 1 week before Chico comes out. My OB says that I need to take it antibiotics for 7 days. OB says too that it would put some danger on Chico’s health if the infection is still there when I give birth. It is a blessing that I was finished with the meds when he comes out, and that there were no more infection. The delivery was great, still painful and still intolerable, but I am getting used to it.. LOL (We still plan to have a baby, and we will work on to have a baby girl)

6th month (stolen shot)LOL
this is my favorite preggy dress (though it is not), so maternity like and yet so wearable even when you are not preggy 🙂

I can’t see clearly now..

I was inspired by fedhz to post my eye sight problem history. I was in grade school then and we were here in Manila (or Pasay to be exact) We were waiting for a cab because we were to watch Aiza’s movie (Wake up little suzie is it?). My head starts aching and I started vomiting on the pavement. I also graced the theater house floor with my dinner. My aunts rushed me to a nearest hospital and I was X rayed. It was still vivid on my mind, I remember the doc telling me that I can go home the morning after and I can have my donut. There was nothing wrong on my head (seems that xray cannot detect OCd harhar). I can’t remember what happened after that, if I was subject t more test or not. I only know that it was two years after before I was diagnosed with eye sight problem. I was in Grade three then and I had a hard time keeping up with the lectures. Good thing my godfather worked in an optical shop. They were shocked that my myopia(near sightedness)is that bad, my first grade was 300 or so. They gave a glasses which is lower than my real grade.. They said my eyes needed to adjust from having one fist before they upgrade it to the exact grade. I was so embarrassed to wear glasses then. My schoolmates were teasing me, they say I look Kris Aquino.. oh G! I just so hate it. Back then it was not a cool thing and people mistook you from being intelligent (and I so hate it). It took about a week before I wear the glasses full time. That was year 1990.. Eight years or so after that, I discovered that I also have astigmatism. A simple explanation would be, you loose focus, a single line to you may appear two lines or blurred lines at all distance. Eighteen years later, my astigmatism is worse. Here is the case, I can’t avail the one hour eyeglasses promo. I am only qualified for a week or longer wait for an eyeglasses. They say my lenses were processed type.. and is expensive. In a place where suppliers are located, my lens will cost $50 at minimum (excluding frames). Good thing that my myopia is not competing with my astigmatism.. Myopia give up and gave the floor to Astigmatism.

Getting older is expensive.. you just discovered a lot of unhealthiness in your body that needs to be taken care of.

note: My family has it in the genes. My sisters also have eye sight problems like mine.

Eggyolk Intolerance

Chico is 8 months now and I know for a fact that egg yolks is safe for babies that age. Yesterday I have him eat some egg yolks. Later that day, his face developed some rashes. Rashes started on his face, then to his tummy and spread into his arms and legs. Alarmed, we called his pediatrician and ask what is a good antihistamine for his age. The pediatrician prescription was to treat it with Zyrtec (Cetirizine dihydrochloride), 5 drops,once a day for 5 days. It seems he had developed egg yolk intolerance or egg yolk allergy (which is rare, so I hope not). According to a baby food site, that egg allergy appears when the body mistakes egg protein as a harmful substance, thus the body releases antibodies. Chico’s immune system is up and still fighting off egg proteins as he still have some rashes now. He is so red right now, good thing the redness on his stomach is gone and only some patches on his face is present. No more eggs for Chico for now..
