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:

Our story

2009 since I started this project. OMG! its already 2010 and still no post or blog. hahaha

Well, its not too late to start, right? Let me continue our story.:)

Met each other November 6, 2004..my bestfriend Paonessa asked me to accompany her to his friend's birthday party in Pasig. It was a Saturday so I decided to join her. We got introduced. Nothing special on the first meeting. At least for my end. Not sure on his story. Our next meeting was on November 11, same year. I met with Paonessa, not knowing that she will also meet Lojen. The truth is Lojen asked Paonessa to call me so he can see me again. Oopps honey, don't deny it. haha Anyways, we ate dinner at Mcdo. The table we are seated is shaky so as he placed our tray of orders..the cup of sprite suddenly slipped and poured over me! He was very apologetic about it. And me? I was just laughing. Who should I blame right? Besides, it was an accident..not unless he really intended that to happened. You'd be thinking if I met with him again after that..I most certainly did! We had our second date..without Paonessa of course. :) and the next, and the next..that is how i met my hubby, Lojen.

We have been a couple since December 2004. Like any other couple out there, we had our own share of ups and downs. Since his work requires him to be out of the country all the time, we had to share a long-distance love affair. And it was not easy. As for my part, I was not really into this type of relationship but for him I made an exemption. But we did surpass all that. The love we had for each other made our ties stronger. Of course, we had God in the center who helped us.

My next blog would be about our wedding and how we prepared for it..it was exhausting though rewarding in the end. :)

Ciao!

Just wondering

Why is that everytime we are broken-hearted or hurting on love..we end up listening on love songs and senti-songs on the radio? Is it an automatic response to the hurt that we feel inside or is it plain torture? hahaha isn't it weird? You know that you are hurt and you still want to feel it even more by subjecting yourself to more reminiscing and thinking.....I'm guilty of this. har har har Maybe we just wanted to burst in tears so that the tears could wash away what we are feeling....Maybe we wanted to reminisce on the moments that we have shared with the one person we loved but betrayed us and hurt us. But funny isn't it that we can never learn that we actually loved not unless we get hurt. I think hurting is all part of the "loving process". It just makes perfect sense. How can you actually appreciate beauty if you can't see the ugly part of it?

But the hell! Why cry more and more right? I'm no hypocrite to say that I didn't cried my heart out when I was broken before. I took a couple of drinks and lots of chocolate eating..that made a big difference..hahaha friends also helps. Their moral support gives you that confidence that you can make it through. Take note: these are not just people who listens to you. Listening is good but it is even better if you help the person out. Suggest something! Don't act like a sponge. Another factor is the attitude! That is spelled as Y - O - U. "attitude". Know in yourself that you can will make it through. "I can make it through the rain.." Sing it with conviction. Easier said than done. But there's no other way..either you stay down or you stand up and say to the world, "I'm a survivor!"..

Ciao!
