I sure know nothing about auto accessories, but pregnancy matters? Tell me about it! Anyway, I had my prenatal check up yesterday, so far so good except that my baby is on a transverse position.

A transverse baby may be a temporary condition due to the positioning of the mother, or it could be due to other reasons. Common reasons for a transverse baby are multiple babies, low-lying placentas, small pelvic inlets, weak abdominal wall, and issues with the uterus or baby.

That is why I always feel her on my down left side only. She kicks a lot though but just on that side. Too early to tell but she’s got to be in the right position by next month, otherwise there’s a possibility that I’d have a CSection delivery. I don’t want that! Please!

Sidenotes:

Weight : 130 lbs
Fetus age : 26w 2d
Next check-up : December 6

I answered him “At this moment, you won’t feel their value but who knows when the right time comes,  we can have these coins traded in one of the famous antique shops or maybe sell and earn something from it”. I think he understood. But really that wasn’t my primary purpose or intention. I just like it. That’s it!

Seriously, when she’s sick I don’t get to sleep, I guess all mothers don’t. I would always check on her temp and feel her. At least today, we were able to sleep earlier at around 8pm and woke up when Derrick called. That was exactly the time for her medicines too so it was actually a good timing. She was also able to chat and see Dada on cam.

I just hope she’ll feel better by tomorrow otherwise we would miss the first day of classes after the school break.

Of course, there are items just for me teehee! I soooo love ‘em! Just in time, the perfume that she sent me last time is almost finished.

VS eyeshadow, lipstick and mascara, Bath & Body cologne and lotion (both are apple scent) and SPAritual nail polish.

If you spend your day tap-tap-tapping on a keyboard, you may already be familiar with the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) — that well-known worker’s malady that causes pain, tingling, and numbness in the hands due to too much time spent doing repetitive tasks. What you might not know, however, is that more than a quarter of expectant moms develop CTS during pregnancy, whether or not they ever go near a computer, thanks to swollen tissue in the body that presses on nerves (the same swollen tissue that makes it impossible for you to remove your wedding ring, or tell your ankles from your calves).

Okay, that I know already.

Still, some pregnant women find that carpal tunnel takes its greatest toll in the workplace. Trying to work through an attack is not easy, and can be very painful. The good news is that carpal tunnel syndrome is not dangerous and usually subsides after delivery. And luckily, there are a number of remedies you can try until you see the light at the end of the carpal tunnel:

• Raise your office chair so that  your wrists are straight and your hands are lower than your elbows as you type.
• Switch to a wrist-friendly ergonomic keyboard.
• Get mouse and keyboard pads that provide wrist support.
• Wear a wrist brace while typing.
• Take frequent breaks from the computer.
• Use a speakerphone or headset if you’re on the phone a lot.
• In the evenings, soak your hands in cool water to reduce any swelling.

But these remedies? Gotta try them soon.

Glad the photographer was able to capture the moment where my little fairy had wished for something that made me giggle (I should be the one to make a wish heehee!), she said “I wish Hardy will come soon, mamaya.” playing her wand towards me.

Oh my little fairy! She cracks me up with her funny lines at times. She’s unstoppable! I’m loving it though, something to cheer me up in the middle of completion of online tasks like this one > data center virtualization.

She said “Mama, you have white pantal here!” pointing my pimple.

I laughed and corrected her, it’s not a white pantal. You call it a pimple. When you grow up, you’ll get those too!  And she was like “Ayako!”

I wonder if she’d go for an acne treatment when she does get it. Knowing her, she’s so vain already at her age. She would sometimes tell me that my shoes are not “ternos” with my dress. She thinks I need to dress up like her, if it’s pink it should be pink from head to toe haha!

Need I say more? More studio photos here.

Last Sunday, after not going and hearing mass for the longest time, I did with my precious one. Laid all my thoughts on Him and sought for comfort. Somehow, I felt lighter. That same night I told my husband what I am feeling lately. We spoke and planned for the next steps, whatever the next course would be.

Today, we were given two great news. One major matter is balance though and still anxiously waiting for the verdict. However, I’m grateful and thankful that two were already heard and given so quickly. (1) My daughter bagged the Best in Costume once again. (2) A good future for my brother, which would also mean a support on my shoulders.

I’m not fully relieved as yet but it’s a good thing to start off with this coming year.
