Happy pregnancy

Missed my period on February. I knew it! I was pregnant. Mixed emotions. But for most of the part I am very happy and excited. But first things first. I need to confirm this. So, I asked my husband to buy a pregnancy test kit. And walah! Positive. In nine months time, I am going to be a mommy. :)

The thing is we wanted to wait at least a year before we have a baby. But since the baby came this early in our marriage, who are we to not accept God's gift. I thought most couples out there wait for years to have a baby. Most certainly, this is a blessing for us.

Some women are fortunate to not deal with morning sickness at all, while others will feel nauseous throughout most of their pregnancy. I am one of the lucky few who did not experience this. Just like my Mama. One of my female officemates would always say that she envy me for not feeling any dizziness or discomfort. She would often tease that I am just lying about being pregnant.

When most pregnant woman crave for chocolates and ice cream, I have strong desires of eating white food like dishes with sotanghon and misua and buko. I also enjoy cooking my own meals. My favorite is chicken sotanghon soup. I also ate a lot of pasta, fruits and vegetables. The only junked food I remembered I craved that time is french fries. Hehe But for most of my food intake, I am very conscious. I would always think if what I am going to intake will be beneficial for my growing baby. I diligently visited the OB for consultations to make sure the baby is growing healthy inside me.

My entire pregnancy went breezy. Had no worries, major problems and discomfort. As the months past, I patiently waited for my growing baby. I was so excited to see how he'd look, smile and laugh. Who would he take after, me or his daddy. There are times that the excitement was so high and I feel like the days are passing by so slow.

Finally, the day came. October 5, 2010. 9:12am at the Mission Hospital. The moment he came out, the doctor placed him in my breast. The sight of him was ecstatic. He was so beautiful and I love him so much. We named our little angel, Xavier Paul Pascual. Below is a picture of him in the nursery:
