I think I got my brain back!!!
I can feel it! My brain! it’s functioning (sort of) properly again and I don’t feel as awful as I did like last week! I cannot explain the joy of knowing that my second trimester is here 🙂 🙂 I’m looking forward to eating food again, getting up in the morning doesn’t feel like how it did when I was back in high school, I’m able to stay up later in the night (although afternoons are still a struggle). My moods are still weird but it’s manageable nowadays, I guess. I’ve decided to drink Nescafe instant coffee in all the different sugary flavors to help me through the morning. Less content of caffeine anyway and it’s allowed. Yay!
So, last Tuesday was an awesome day for Chris and I. We went to see Dr. Henson again and our baby passed once again with flying colors 🙂 I, however, did not. I have developed UTI (Urinary Track Infection). Doctor told me to start drinking 3 liters of water everyday.3!!!!!! I CAN BARELY MAKE IT UP TO 2!! Needless to say, as of this writing I’m waiting for Dr. Tere to reply to me after I told her that I was unsuccessful with my homework. I now need antibiotics.
But just look at this beautiful profile of a baby chillin’ like it’s in a hammock!
What a coincidence my amniotic sac is shaped like a heart in this picture haha! Oh, you can’t understand what you’re looking at?
There ya go! And because of this – we have finally decided to make the announcement when we get home. I just can’t get over the fact that there’s FEET already! Tiny feet!!!
So after the doctor’s appointment, Chris and I practically skipped out of Makati Medical and made our way to Toyota Shaw because it was also the day Chris is getting HIS baby – our new Toyota Fortuner!
After selling our old cars and being car-less for almost 2 months, we are now proud owners of SILVERFOX! (I’m the only one that seems to like this name. Chris hates it. I’ve nicknamed it FOXY :p) In this picture it looks rather small but I assure you, the car is rather large and wide.
Beauty!! Though I’m terrified to drive it. I miss my Innova!!!
After Toyota, we went to S&R Shaw which was 2 minutes away for lunch and after that Chris was starting to feel under the weather (it was heavily pouring outside) so we went home. I was able to convince Chris though that we needed to shoot our sneakers with the baby shoes that I had purchased the day before so we can finally make the announcement on social media and to our families. At this time, Chris had transformed into a big grumpy bear already because he was tired, feeling slightly sick and because of the rain the humidity was terrible. We grabbed our Go Pro and went to our pool deck and stood by the grass, quickly took some photos and then went back downstairs. This is what we came up with:
I feel that we could have done better. I mean, the angle of the camera and my choice of shoes made my feet look as BIG AS CHRIS’S FEET. But whatever – I think we were able to pull it off given the circumstances (read: Chris’ foul mood). We blasted it on social media and we both got an overwhelming response from our family and friends! At some point in the day when I kept checking in to read through the comments, I must have teared up like twice because the messages were so touching. I don’t know why I keep thinking that when these things happen to me (getting married, getting pregnant) that people wouldn’t be happy for me. Of course they would be happy for me, right? God did bless me with such a fantastic family and set of friends that of course they would be cheering me on. Just as I have always cheered for them 🙂
So that was the highlight of our Week 12 =)
So now, I’m off to walk on the the treadmill for the first time in 3 solid month because I seriously need to lessen my flab and get my stamina up. I’m armed with my iPad and my headphones. Let’s do this! But first, my baby bump:
