How Far Am I?

I seem lost tracking my pregnancy these days due to farming in my backyard. All I can remember is I'm in my five months pregnancy. To make sure I also know how far am I in weeks, I visited one website that I used when I was pregnant with my first born. So I am now in my 19 weeks of pregnancy, the bump is getting big and heavy everyday. Heartburn is becoming my enemy these days but drinking a cup of milk before bedtime helps a lot. Since I did it, I noticed no more recurring bad dreams that make me shiver and frightened when I wake up in the morning. There are still dreams but they are not as bad as the previous nights. I also feel I get tired easy after just a few minutes of movement or doing my chores yet I choose to be active as I can and walk in the neighborhood if the weather permits. It's not only beneficial for the baby but for my body as well as Jadyn's.

Photos below are recent shots of my bump. Take a look at them and tell me if I look heavy now.

It's A Baby Girl!!!

So the most awaited day has ended, we now know that our second baby is a GIRL. This means another "PRINCESS" addition to our family is coming. August 2,2011 I'll be due. I knew I am going to have a baby girl again, mother instinct is so strong right from the beginning that I didn't even hope for a baby boy or if I did it was only 1% at least.

We already have a name long before we can conceive a baby girl. My husband told me long time ago that if we have another baby and it's a girl we are going to name her, MEGAN. Why? Because it sounds close to MORGAN which is his late father's name and my husband's second name. Since I like the name Megan, I didn't look for another name nor debate with him. But, I was going to spell it this way "MEGHANNE" or "MEGHAN" but my husband thinks it's silly so I stick to the simplest spelling possible. It is simple, easier for the baby to write her name in the future and it has five letters in it same as JADYN. Simple and easy!

It's Another Dream Come True

A wife's wish is to have a second baby after almost three years of having her first one and now God has granted her wish. How lucky and happy she is to be holding another new born baby in her arms soon. I got a positive result on my home pregnancy test this morning! Cheers to me and my husband for we have waited for this for five months. I don't mind whether it's a boy or girl, all I care about is to have two kids and we're done with having children. Having two kids has been my ultimate goal and now it's here, I FEEL BLESSED AND OVERJOYED! 

I Might Be Pregnant

I might be pregnant with our second baby. It is a planned pregnancy since my husband and I both agreed to have our second baby before I fly to the Philippines this year. He was okay when I asked him if I can stop taking my birth control pills so here I am feeling signs of pregnancy. A week before my last date of period, I knew and I felt it somehow that I could get pregnant right away due to these symptoms follows below;

- darkening of nipples and around them there are dark spots like that of tagip-tip in our native tongue

- dizziness that occurs anytime of the day

- missing a period, supposedly I have it on the 16th of this month, but none came so far

- cravings for specific foods like empanada

- weird habits lately... I don't eat popcorn much but there were two instances ni midday I ate a whole bag of popcorn. I don't usually eat popcorn and when I do, I can only eat half of the bag.

- laziness

- frequent hunger that is so hard to resist so I end up eating a lot

- mother's instinct I believe to just touch my belly as if it is bulging already but it's not

However, I haven't done any home pregnancy test yet so I don't raise my hope that high...not until I go to the doctor and confirm if it's really TRUE.
