GT: Something New

I'm back, (again!) I like this week's topic because my brain is actually having an exercise by recalling what happened this year 2011. And as far as I remember:

I've been reunited with my elementary classmates and adviser after 22 years.

I've got my new touch phone.

Had my hair rebonded..

Bought a 2nd hand car (for additional income).

Learned how to make siopao

Baked a perfect pandesal

Pink Friday: Pink Netcase

I really missed Pink Friday! And since I'm now starting to be active again in my blog, this is the first meme I joined after 4mos.
It's my phone's net case I recently bought.. I love the color and it really compliments with black...

Christmas is near!

Christmas is nearly coming!. Yes it's December already, start with a countdown. Houses are blinking with christmas lights and decorated with christmas trees and gifts. A time to buy gifts for our inaanak. This season is much appreciated by children who are always excited to wear their new clothes and new shoes and go to their ninong and ninang to get their gifts.  It also the time to have a reunion with families parted with far places, friends in different regions, and even former classmates. Carolings can hear everywhere. Bibingka and Puto Bumbong are famous food during this season. What else could be more meaningful than celebrating Jesus' birthday with the family during Noche Buena...

Blighted Ovum

Months ago, I was so surprised in finding out I was pregnant. Though it was not planned (again), but we really like to have an addition to the family. Most of my friends knew I really wanted to have a big one.

Last, Last Friday was my scheduled pre-natal check up. I had a transvi ultrasound again and found out that I had a blighted ovum. My baby did not grow nor formed. But the gestational sac grew. We were so sad but we had to accept the fact that I missed a pregnancy again. I knew it from the start. My body and instinct already told me that there’s something wrong with what’s happening inside my body but I hoped and believed it was ok especially when my bleeding stopped after two weeks. After finding my condition, My OB told me to stop my vitamins and medicines. I bleed a little and I still wait to open up my cervix and proceed to D&C procedure . My OB preferred me to stay and wait it at home.

After a week, My bleeding and cramps increased. I went to my doctor and had the D&C at the same day.

I was so sad. We were so sad.  But we had to accept it. I prayed! And everything went fine!

FYI:

 - A blighted ovum, also called an "anembryonic pregnancy", is a fertilized egg which implants in the uterus, and begins to devlop a gestational sac. The fertilized egg, however, fails to form beyond the sixth week and is absorbed back into the uterus.
- D&C, also known as dilation and curettage, is a surgical procedure often performed after a first trimester miscarriage. Dilation means to open up the cervix; curettage means to remove the contents of the uterus. Curettage may be performed by scraping the uterine wall with a curette instrument or by a suction curettage (also called vacuum aspiration), using a vacuum-type instrument.

GT: Class Picture

Hi! I've been absent for weeks in blogging and in joining Girl's Talk... This time, I'm back with my class pictures during my high school and college moment.

Taken 1998, AB Mass Comm. major in Journalism class at CEU Manila. We are wearing our practicum uniforms. 

Taken 1992, I was third year high school at De Los Santos-Urbano Community School, (Marungko, Angat, Bulacan). 

Nakakamiss ang high school at college days..or being a student! 

Hold on baby!

It's almost 2 weeks since I went to my OB for my 1st check up. I still bleed a little until now. My OB told me to that my pregnancy now is at risk. I had my ultrasound last week and yesterday and seen only the gestational sac, it's growing but can't see the baby yet because it's too early to tell. I've been given medicines and vitamins, I rest a lot, put away worries and pray hard. I hope know these would work.

4 Weeks Pregnant

The ultra sound says it's 4weeks and 3days... but base on my last mens period,  it's almost 6weeks...

I'm 5weeks pregnant

I've been absent in blogging for a week. First, I've been busy with my kids in preparing their things for school. Since I don't have a helper, I have done it all. (with the help of hubby, of course)
Second, busy with the shop. I've got many customers now unlike last school years. Many students have known that I make personalized sticker tag for notebooks and books.
And the highlight! I'm pregnant!!! From the first fews days of mens delay, I already thought I was pregnant. Unlike my previous pregnancies, I was having a little bleeding lately. That's why  me and hubby went to the doctor after I confirmed it through PT. I was a little worry because of the bleeding and kept thinking and wishing that It wasn't an ectopic pregnancy. I have read that once had an ectopic pregnancy has a greater chance to have it again. I had an transvi ultasound. It was a relief when my doctor told us that it wasn't an ectopic. . But she said that I need to take a rest for 2 weeks because I was having a bleeding. She gave me vitamins and a medicine to stop the bleeding and to prevent miscarriage. My baby is now on going to 6th week.

It was really a major change in our life. All we previously planned were already changed with much more better moves. And for the coming addition to our family, is such a wonderful blessing!
