bow wow wow

Mini pins are kinda hard to sell, apparently. Trying to sell about 3 of Bryan's new batch and so far, no one's biting (figuratively speaking).

Beagles, on the other hand, are a different story all together. Too many bookings all lined up and only a handful of puppies. I guess we know who wins this bout :)

Channeling back the bookworm in me

There used to be a time wherein everywhere I went, I had a book. I could spend the whole day in my room just reading. Just had some drink or snacks to get me through even more leasurely. That was the party animal in me way back when.

Since college, reading has been a bit tough but I could still do it often. Then as I took on more responsibilities with work and I actually got myself a love life, well... Books had to take a back seat. Waaaay back.

Nothing like getting myself pregnant to take me back into that groove. It just amazes me the information that is out there right now. I actually might have a chance to know something about all this after all! Haha!

Right now I'm reading this book and bought the set (minus one which is currently out of stock) from Fully Booked Online. Isn't it just a dream come true? If only Jaime came with each delivery. Just a joke!

About 12-15 of my friends have recommended this book. Majority actually. So I guess it does live up to its reputation. I am so looking forward to all this. Thankful to the Lord that He has spared me from the morning sickness and obsessive cravings (so far). I do get more sleepy now. Never thought that was possible! And I do get a slight tinge in my back after sitting for so long. But Bryan has been so wonderful. He's been taking such good care of me and my sanity. Oh yeah! I am grumpier now. Fun times!

But I do function normally. Although they have restricted my stair climbing frequency down to 2 times a day. That's the price we have to pay for living on the 3rd floor. I dream of the day wherein I am back safely on the ground, where I can actually smell the grass when it rains.

This weekend is something I am really looking forward to. So many fun things to do in Iloilo! I am still in culture shock! I'm bit by bit discovering the little places to buy knick knacks. I can get the hang of this!

Can't believe its going to be November soon. Time flies and its done with 2010.

Trying something different

Learning that I was actually pregnant only confirmed what I was already feeling. I know its such a cliche but it really is a feeling and you just know. Amazing how God works.

Discovering the wonderful world of maternal nutrition and medication. Not that bad. I was expecting so much more tablets, bigger doses and yucky stuff coming my way. Glad to find tiny tablets and milk in my future. Anmum it is for me. Thrilled to find out it comes in different flavors! So far I have seen the regular vanilla, hazelnut dream (love the name!) and chocolate. Fun! I'm looking forward to every milk schedule (which is twice a day)!

Praying fervently I don't end up like my mom. But other than that, its been an easy ride so far! Thank God!

Very grateful to have so many people and moms around me. Family and friends giving tips and pointers. A bit bummed I have to take out coffee, softdrinks, sushi, processed meat and sunny side up eggs from my usual fare. But its going to be worth it.

So here's to a whole lotta milk, veggies and all that good stuff.

guess whats cooking!

As of 12:30pm this morning, we confirmed it with a blood serum test. We're having a baby!

All those years of imagining, what it would be like to find out. How it would be at this very moment. Standing at this time in my life, finally. I am filled with gratefulness and in awesome wonder at the greatness of our God.

This is a miracle and a blessing above all blessings. This could happen to anyone, but He willed it to happen to us. Thank you, Lord. And I still continue to pray for those who are not as fortunate. Perhaps the Lord has something much better and more for them. But in everything, You're will be done, Oh God. May I be indeed worthy of such a gift and responsibility.

Can't wait to go to the doctor tomorrow and see whats in store.
