The birth of Miguel Lorenzo

A week after I lamented on waiting, our baby is finally out!

God has a great sense of humor. Being terrified of how the pain would feel (still), I was asking for a quick not too painful labor. Guess what I got? I real quick one.

Saturday, 17th of May.

I was scheduled to go to my doctor's reliever for an internal examination just to check my progress but I didn't go. For some reason I was hesitant  and been wanting to check out Mommy Mundo's expo in Makati. And if you think of it, all I need during my 39th week is more walking...and walking.

38 weeks and Remembering Lot

It isn't what we expected. It isn't what we wanted. A week has passed and I haven't gone in labor. I am starting to worry. I am starting to lose faith.

Selfless Love of a Mother

Being a mom is no joke. Toughest priceless job that only God can give to a woman. It was a privilege indeed that sometimes you would think why'd you even accepted it.

See, you're on call 24/7, no holidays, actually the holidays are the busiest days in a year. You are not only a mother during those days but you suddenly become a cook, dishwasher, event planner, party host, game master, grocery shopper and when something fails in the kitchen, they will surely judge.

My Pregnancy

Hi everyone! I think I just have to release the whole story behind this pregnancy.

I have been very open with regards to my health, our choices, even posting it here on my blog and to other social media site. Instead of explaining from one people to another, let me just set things straight to avoid confusion.

Not to sound rude or anything, we do appreciate everyone's concern, we really feel special that a lot of you take time to send message or call us everyday (as in everyday) kahit na hindi naman kame artista. I guess in a way you are also excited for us. On the other hand, it did add a little pressure on my side because some doesn't understand what's going on.

A-Z of Pregnancy

Since I am not close to giving birth yet (yes, who knew!) let me just write another entry. I felt the need to help every woman be educated on the things, most especially to some of the terms that you will hear from day one and for the rest of your life. 

Remember what I told on my last blog, you must be as smart as your doctor? Well this is your chance.

A
ACTIVE LABOR - Usually around 4-7cm of dilation and this is where contractions might be more consistent and frequent. Also the time where the hospital admits you.

AMNIOTIC SAC - Also called bag of waters where the fetus developed. Rupture can mean that labor is about to follow.
