on baby hiccups =)
today at 0213, while chatting with Mindy thru Viber, I felt my baby's first hiccups =)
... I don't know how to describe baby hiccups, except that they are amazing! There is a rhythm to it and are soft, fluttery, and feels like butterflies in my tummy. I have never felt anything like it before. And it just makes my pregnancy feel so much real. And you think like, omg, there really is a little bub in there. ❤️
I searched you tube and found an ultrasound of a baby having hiccups, i close my eyes, and i put my hand on my baby bump, i imagine my baby inside, so cute and i feel bad thinking i may have done something wrong, maybe lack of water or something, i downed half a liter of water, hoping to give relief to my hiccuping cute little bub.
.... I love you my baby. You have the cutest hiccups in the womb.

Today, I Started Prenatal Cardio Workout At Home =)
I like this workout by Denise Austin because it is very low impact and very easy to follow. I finished the whole routine and I felt good after. Im hoping that I could sleep better at night after being able to squeeze a workout with my busy nap-eat-sleep-repeat schedule everyday.
I am so happy my cross trainers still fit me. =) I have three new pairs before I got preggers because of Insanity and I really hope my feet doesn't expand too much that I will have to buy new shoes, I really hope not.

If the baby’s heart rate is above 140 bpm, it is said that the baby will be a girl. If it is under 140 bpm, then it will be a boy. --- My baby's 167 bpm. So, GIRL =)
Old Wives Tale #2: Shape of Belly
If you are carrying high with a big, round belly, you are having a girl. If you are carrying low with a smaller belly that sticks straight out, it’s a boy. --- My belly is big as everyone would comment, i guess it is also round... what other shape could it be? an octagon??? carrying high or low, i don't know what that means though. --- So, Girl. =)
Old Wives Tale #3: Ring Test
Using a string, hang your wedding ring over your pregnant belly. You are having a girl if the ring swings back and forth and it’s a boy if it swings in a circle. --- My hubby and I did this and I think it's dumb. So, Inconclusive.
Old Wives Tale #4: Acne
If you have acne while pregnant, it’s a girl. It’s thought that acne during pregnancy is caused by the extra hormones. --- Well I never thought having acne would be something I would like, but with this test, yes, I do have acne and I can't stand it, but yey!, So, Girl =)
Old Wives Tale #5: Cravings
People believe that if you are craving salty foods while pregnant, you can count on having a boy. If you crave sweets, fruit, and orange juice, you are having a little girl. --- I crave mango, which is a fruit, but I eat it with bagoong or salt and vinegar which is salty, I crave sweets but can't eat them I always throw up after eating ice cream or chocolate, I like peaches and tangerines and mangostenes, and orange juice especially the orange juice in Saladicious!!! So, Girl =)
Old Wives Tale #6: Skin under Left Eye
The eye test is when a “V” or “branches” appear when you pull down the skin under your left eye. If you see a “V” or “branches” in the white part, you’re having a girl. --- So i look infront of the mirror and make a fool of myself i pull it down and voila! I have a "V' So, Girl =)

Old Wives Tale #9: Moodiness and a Little Pecker (this one is odd, but funny)
If you are really moody, you are having a girl since you have another extra girl hormones in you. Your pregnancy will make you smile and be more happy if you are having a boy because there’s a little penis inside you. ----WTF is this? Why would you be happier if you have a tiny penis inside you? This is bull. But then again, yes, I am always moody, and hubby even said that even when I'm sleeping I look mad. WTH! but, lol So, Girl.
Old Wives Tale #10: Chinese Gender Chart

If you think that pregnancy has never made you look more beautiful, a little boy it is. --- Ok, Ive had better days definitely, but I wouldn't say I'm ugly, but I do feel ugly and hubby said so too. he said i'm looking loshang, so yey!!! it's a GIRL. --- however, where I'm from, when you are ugly during your pregnancy, they say you are carrying a boy. this is what my husband concluded our baby's gender from, imagine that!
Old Wives Tale #12: Dream of Sex of Baby
If you have dreams that you are having a boy, you will have a girl. If you dream about having a girl, it will be a boy. Dreams show the opposite of what you are having. ---- Ive had dreams of both. My dreams are weird and depend on what I've watched on TV earlier. The other night, I dreamt I pulled my baby out with its foot out of my vagina and then when it came out, I was like, what the phuck?? you're not ready to come out yet, so I put it right back in my belly and stuck it in through my vagina again…. but here, the baby was a girl. SO, Inconclusive.
Old Wives Tale #13: Clumsy vs. Graceful

Old Wives Tale #17: What Do You Think?
71% of the time, the mom-to-be knows what she is having. --- Well, in my case, mom to be is useless too, coz I really have no clue, the fact that I'm taking this test is an absolute proof. So, Inconclusive.
Old Wives Tale #18: Morning Sickness
If you had a smooth pregnancy with no morning sickness, it’s a boy. If you were sick or felt really nauseous during your pregnancy, count on a girl. ---- Well, it doesn't even make sense that it's called morning sickness, coz to me, it's all day mostly nights non stop sickness!!!

Thought:
Learning to magnify and celebrate the smallest and simplest joys and victories.
November of last year, i am most happy at the thought that I could finally afford a Celine Mini Luggage ( in cobalt or vermillion ) . bidding for a flight where i can actually get my hands on my new baby. Thankfully, i found out i was gonna have a real baby soon enough before i flew to Milan and purse-chased. Otherwise, my pocket will sob. Lots of tears...
Last week, my source of greatest joy was seeing my little one wave at me and my husband at an ultrasound 😀 Ofcourse it wasn't probably a wave, it was maybe a jerk or a reflex or just a mere and simple act of putting a hand up, but my God, the joy i felt in my heart was so unbelievably overwhelming. All that our baby did was raise a hand and i have utterly and completely felt pride in my heart My baby can raise a hand!!! Mommy is so proud, you are the best hand raiser in the womb my baby! Mommy and daddy will always cherish this moment with you.
Now I understand how to celebrate small victories like that, and also the joy of sharing it with Sonnie. I now understand the feeling of overwhelming love for a child, even before i meet him/ hopefully her.
But nevertheless, the Celine is on hold while I am jobless, fat and a vomit machine

Alessandra Bella's Christening Day
Bella is Michelle and Jomatt's little bundle of joy, and today she was baptized in St. Mary's Catholic Church in Dubai. Michelle is one of my closest and most trusted friend in Dubai. I am so happy for her to have Bella in her life. =) She will be a great mom for sure. My pregnant belly doesn't show yet in this picture, but my tiny little speck of a baby is there inside of me as we ate lots and lots of spaghetti and two cupcakes in ate Bella's reception =)

Crazy Cravings!
Another diary entry. There is no exagerration, i think of food 24 hours a day and it is so frustrating because I am stuck here in Dubai. I crave Filipino food the most. I dream about chicken joy, the crispy skin and yummy gravy. I want a whole bucket of chickenjoy thighs! I also want palabok and burger steak and peach mango pie ❤️❤️❤️
I watch KrisTv on pinoytv and man, i drooled at the sight of those mango trees. =( I really really want to go home. If only I wasn't queasy all the time, I would be on the next flight home and come back with 30 Kgs worth of all the food I crave. maybe in the middle of the second trimester! I hope so.
