Thump

The little heart is pumping in a strong and steady rate. We heard it loud and clear in the tiny office of our nice, doctor man. What a comforting sound it was.

Sometimes, though, I still feel a bit of resentment due to my abdication of any control over my body.

I spit saliva like a construction worker due to my excessive salivation. My appetite's gone haywire and I'm craving for weird stuff like chicken adobo with green peas. My stomach heaves with every unpleasant smell I encounter. My chest hurts when I hurl. I tire easily while walking short distances.

But hearing those thumps made it all worthwhile.

I should start enjoying this instead of griping most of the time.

Starship

Starship, oh, Starship



Looking in your eyes I see a paradise
This world that I've found
Is too good to be true
Standing here beside you
Want so much to give you
This love in my heart that I'm feeling for you

Let'em say we're crazy,
I don't care about that
Put your hand in my hand baby
Don't ever look back
Let the world around us just fall apart
Baby we can make it if we're heart to heart

Chorus:
And we can build this dream together
Standing strong forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
We'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us now

Oh no

I'm so glad I found you
I'm not gonna lose you
Whatever it takes, i will stay here with you
Take it to the good times
See it through the bad times
Whatever it takes is what I'm gonna do

Let 'em say we're crazy,
What do they know?
Put your arms around me baby
Don't ever let go
Let the world around us just fall apart
Baby we can make it if we're heart to heart

And we can build this dream together
Standing strong forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
We'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us

Ooh, all that I need is you
All that I ever need
All that I want to do
Is hold you forever, forever and ever

(Guitar solo)

And we can build this dream together
Standing strong forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
We'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us
Nothing's gonna stop us now

And we can build this dream together
Standing strong forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers we'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us now

Hey baby, I know, hey baby, nothing's gonna stop us
Hey baby, woo hoo, nothing, hey baby
Nothing's gonna stop us now yeah

Kidney Bean

Kidney Beans


Our baby's grown so big! From a mere 3.2 millimeter last July 07, s/he's now 6 centimeters! That's a whopping 2.36 inches! We can now see her formed like a kidney bean and she's moving a whole lot! Like those beans jumping in a box!

I thought for a second that the monitor was just fuzzy but the doctor said that s/he's the one moving. That's why I'm feeling those cramps every now and then...the little thing is having his/her own party inside me. =).

Well s/he's bored so she has to amuse her/himself while in there, right?

I'd post the sonogram here as soon as I scan it.

I can't wait for the 20th week...we'll know then if it's a boy or girl!!!!

11 Weeks

I'm about the finish the first trimester (yay!). The nausea have considerably lessened but I'm salivating more and more the heartburns are getting worse especially at night. I still haven't gained any weight but that's about normal for the first trimester. Some of my clothes are tightening up around the waist so I'm mostly wearing loose shirts and slacks these days.

My bond with my family is stronger than ever. I feel well taken cared of by everyone. Even my future in-laws have been nothing but great.

I still hate the smell of fast food. Even their commercial makes me sick. I should drink lots of water but I hate its plain taste so I'm drinking lots and lots of juices. The sugar can't be good for me. I'm eliminating junk food from my body which sucks.

But I want to have a healthy baby so the sacrifices, I'd say, are pretty much worth it.

We already thought of names, both for a girl and a boy but I'm not hiding the fact that I really want a precious girl. I love my nephews but I've had enough of boisterous boys. So I'm crossing my fingers...

And there's one thing that's really scaring me...
