On Sick Bay

The last time I felt this sick was about two or three years ago... this time however, I am down with cough and colds. No body aches whatsoever just coughing and a lot of sneezing. Occasional fever also comes at night. Good thing is that its over now, I hope.

I can't be like this! Not with the little baby coming out in a few weeks time. In less that five weeks, I am gonna be a daddy! No way am I going to be sickly when my daughter comes out. She has to see Tatay all healthy and well for her. Heck, how I can protect her from the creeps of this planet if I could not even stand up due to any kind of illness.

This will be the last time that I am going to be sick like this!

Week 33: Blatantly plagiarizing my wife's post

We went to see our OB-GYN for our monthly check-up yesterday. And we are only too happy to know that the little one is in tip-top shape and is growing along just fine. At 33 weeks, she's now nearly a foot long and weighs four pounds. We saw her limbs too, and a cross-section of her tummy. She was stirring constantly all throughout the sonogram, which was a good sign that she's developing perfectly. Ang likot! She's very active in Nanay's tummy lately, that she sometimes give Nanay a hard time positioning herself to sleep.


She was also "having her brunch" during the sonogram session! Nakakatuwa, she was munching on! The picture above shows her face's profile. What cute cheeks she has! 

Our next check-up will be two weeks from now, and will then be on a fortnightly basis (later weekly) from thereon out.  We will be in full-term by the third week of October. Yes, we're nearing the homestretch!

It has been a really long while since I last posted in this blog. Not that I have any readers but really, at least I have this space where I can shout to the universe my thoughts and emotions.

A lot has happened since my last post. My wife and I are now on the 8th month of our pregnancy and we are really seriously both excited and anxious for the coming of our little girl. We have had one-a-million trips already to the baby section of department stores, made surveys on which baby bottles are best, shopped online for baby bottles and even remodelled our room for the baby.

But that doesn't stop there. We had to let go of some of our stuff and throw away those that we have been hoarding for quite some time in order to literally make room for the little tyke. We even measured the dimensions of our microwave oven just to be sure that the sterilizer would fit! I figured that things would go crazier from here and I am very much anticipating things now.

On the hind side, I am making major adjustments as well. It has been four months already since I transferred to my new office, ok THE World Bank, and I am loving it here. This coupled with the good things happening to my life has somewhat brought back the confidence in me to do things.

I thought that I would be in limbo right now, but I guess not. I have come to accept things as they are and to quote a good friend of mine, "now I know that I do not know..." An interesting view for an interesting life such as mine.

Bring it on will you?!
