The Story of my Life

This is just a quick note to let you know that our angel has arrived via emergency caesarian section on 6 May 2011, 2:30 am.

I woke up last Saturday feeling a sickly, we came home late the previous night from the YDWTL weekend and my cough and cold have been giving me a hard time sleeping since Wednesday night. But Saturday was a busy day for Husbo and I so I had to be up and about early.


First, we went to see my OB for my semi-monthly check-up. We were there on time but my OB was in the DR doing emergency CS on one of her patients. I was no. 7 in line, if we followed that order we won't make it to our 2:00pm appointment at Cedar Crest. So I used my charm on her secretary. And guess what?? It was effective because I was the 3rd person to see my OB. The check up was quick, she prescribed a few meds for my cold and cough. Then she asked if we want to have your 3d/4d today. Which came as a surprise to me because I thought we can only have it in a week or two.


Of course, we both said yes. So after seeing her, we went straight to the ultrasound room. When we got there, the sonologist checked if the baby was in the right position for the ultrasound. Unfortunately, they said, she was lying face down so it was difficult to get a good picture of her. They asked me to come back but husbo and I have a 2pm appointment so we left and decided to have the ultrasound somewhere else.


After TMC, we went to Cedar Crest for unit inspection. Everything seemed in order from my point of view. So we have no qualms signing the papers for turnover. We sat there for a few more minutes and discussed the interior design that the husbo had in mind. We haven't agreed on anything yet but he was needed somewhere else so we left after about 30-45 minutes.


Then, we went to Husbo's project in San Lorenzo Vill, Makati, to drop off his worker's compensation. The house is almost finished. From where I was the house look stunning. One passerby even said, it looks like a resort. FYI, the house is Japanese-inspired. It has 3 structures --the main house, the teahouse, and the maid's house. Ang yaman lang ng may ari! hahahaha.


From the site, we went to The Link in Glorietta, where the ultrasound clinic was. Had our very late lunch at a nearby restaurant before our appointment. Then during our lunch, I'd whisper to the baby asking her to turn so that she'd be in perfect position for the ultrasound.

The time came for the ultrasound and she was still facing down. The OB did try to get pictures from a different angle. But most of the photos were from one side only, out of the i-dont-know-how-many she only got one frontal view. Which is this:

From this picture it is evident that the baby got Husbo's nose...which the husbo despises. Hehehe. He wants her to get my nose, not his. hehehe. Anyway, we're scheduled for re-scan this week. Hope we have a full frontal by then.


It was an eventful day for our family. And even though my energy level was dwindling, I didn't mind because the mere sight of the baby kept me strong and happy. Whattaday!

If I could sum up 2010 for me, I would say that 2010 marked the beginning of a new life for me. New home, new responsibilities, new job, new car, etc.

The past year has been good to me and I praise God for that. From a tumultous 2009, he made 2010 peaceful, fun and full of love and happiness.
