I LOVE YOU MAN!

I can't resist, he look so hot in this picture, and I can't help but fall in love with him over and over again, every single day. And before this baby comes out, which will definitely make this blog all about him. I just want to give a shout out to my one and only.

I love my husband so much, I really appreciate everything that he does for me everyday. I can't even name the things that he does for me, because its so much.He is such a good man, he makes me laugh all the time, he is the sweetest guy ever. He makes me feel beautiful even if I feel fat and ugly.This might all be too cheesy, but I can't help it I am in love to an amazing MAN.

hmmm...lala...hmmm

Everything is ready for this baby, we have our crib set up and other little details. Our hospital bag is already packed. Oh what to do?I am getting impatient.... I hate that I had to pee all the time especially at night,when the intervals are almost only 20minutes apart. But the good thing is, I don't feel as much heartburn as I used to.

I am excited to see my baby boy, I am really counting the days, and wishing that today is the day.

They say that is life changing, but I think we are ready for the change, I know it will be for good. Though, I won't get as much leisure time for myself, I will be very glad to be busy taking care of my own baby.

Time seems so slow yet so fast, I can't believe that I will get to hold my baby in just a few days. I am like a little kid eagerly waiting for Christmas day to come so I can open my presents. sigh...

Yesterday, Nate asked me on what do I want for christmas. I said nothing, I just want my baby to come. Seriously I could never ask for anything more. Having my husband with me, and this baby pretty soon is such a wonderful gift, it is priceless. Having the two of them is more than enough to make me happy this Christmas season.

PS: I also want to thank everyone that gave some gifts for my little boy. I may have forgotten to thank you personally. But I am truly grateful for everything that you give at the baby shower, even after the shower. You are all amazing. I am grateful for your gift,your kindness and your friendship.

Just a little Update!

Life has been pretty crazy over the past couple of days. Last week was a real torture for me.3:00am Tuesday morning Nate took me to the hospital because of the unbearable pain on my lower back and high fever. I thought that will just be there for evaluation, in and out, just need some pain medicine that's it. I never thought that it will be so serious, instead we ended up in the hospital for three days. My fever will come and go, and even though the pain seems to be gone my body became sore from laying on a tiny hospital bed that was very uncomfortable. I got two IV's hooked up, plus the baby monitor and five different blood test.It was a TORTURE. I really hated it. Being pregnant and sick is just really a nightmare. I was really worried about my baby, I feel horrible.

Luckily on the third day my vitals seems to stabilize and so as my temperature, so the doctor finally allowed me to go home. But oh boy, I was like vegetables I got no energy.

On the brighter side, I seem to be getting better, I still wish I have more energy to do things that I want to do around the house, but I make sure that I take it easy, I don't want to end up in the hospital again just for being sick.

And oh I am 37 weeks and 3 days pregnant, I am full term and can give birth anytime...Oh I know this baby will come when its time. But I am just so excited to see him, and be over with this pregnancy. Don't get me wrong I love the fact that I am pregnant but lately it has been really hard on my body.

Proud to be Pinoy!

This video made me proud to be a true Filipino. A push cart educator Nothing is really impossible if you have a willing heart and mind to serve.

Some of the lines in his speech that I really like:

"Our planet is filled with heroes, young and old, rich and poor, man, woman of different colors, shapes and sizes. We are one great tapestry," Peñaflorida said upon accepting the honor. "Each person has a hidden hero within, you just have to look inside you and search it in your heart, and be the hero to the next one in need."

"So to each and every person inside this theater and for those who are watching at home, the hero in you is waiting to be unleashed. Serve, serve well, serve others above yourself and be happy to serve. As I always tell to my co-volunteers ... you are the change that you dream, as I am the change that I dream, and collectively we are the change that this world needs to be."

This inspired me today.

My Baby Shower!

On Saturday my friend Lois threw me a baby shower, oh it was so much fun. I was so touched by all of her planning and effort. I got to mingle with the girls and also got some wonderful gifts for the baby. The games were seriously hilarious, I couldn't stop laughing.

Here are some of the pictures!

36 weeks and counting....

Yes so I am 36 and 2 days pregnant as of today.Only 26 days to go.WOHOOO! And as you can see I am getting really huge, oh gosh, sometimes its hard to breath.
Also my last day of work was on Friday, which means I have lots and lots of free time. And nesting mode is finally kicking in. I woke up a little early than usual today and started sorting out the baby stuff that needs to be wash, did some cleaning for the baby furniture etc.. I might run to the store sometime today or tomorrow to do some last minutes shopping for the baby...

I am going to start packing and make our hospital bag ready in case baby decided to come out a little early than expected. I feel like there's a lot of things on my plate, but I am just so excited to do everything that needs to be done...

This time of the year...

I know it's Thanksgiving Holiday before Christmas. But I can't help but think about Christmas around this time of the year. This is the time of the year when I get kind of sentimental, and homesick.

But I will save my Christmas thoughts for next time. For now, since everybody seems to have something to say about THANKSGIVING, maybe its appropriate to share my thoughts.

We don't really have thanksgiving holidays in the Philippines. But I began to fall in love with this holiday just because people tend to be more thoughtful of the things they are grateful for instead of thinking or wishing of things they would want to have. This is probably one of the most humbling time of the year, don't you think? Very appropriate time before Christmas Season.

Like many of you, I have lots and lots of things to be grateful for. I believe that everything that I have now a husband, baby on the way,family, friends, our apartment,work,nature,the gospel, this life and all of my experiences, even a simple smile from a stranger..I consider a blessing...those are the things I am just really thankful for. I can even go on and on, there is just so much things in my life that I feel truly blessed.

And to you my blog friends, or strangers that just happened to stumble here in this blog, thank you! Thank you for your comments, for taking time to read some of my thoughts,sympathize with me at times, cheer me up when I needed it, and just for being YOU! THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!
