About Me

My photo
Everything happens for a reason. This is what i keep telling myself these days. With all the troubles that i had last year, i pray that i come out on top as a stronger person.

For one chapter to begin, one must be closed. I'm closing the chapter of my life where i am a victim of circumstance, and opening a new chapter where I am full of optimism. I got accepted into Sierra College's Nursing Program for Fall 2009 . I know this is the start of a better life for us. I'm extremly blessed and fortunate to have gotten into the program after only applying once. I'm taking this as a sign from whatever greater power there is out there that this is what I am truly supposed to be doing. i'm not taking anything for granted anymore.

Anxious

My little pumpkin is coming soon...
October 15 is fast approaching, and i will finally be able to see and hold the baby that i've been dreaming about for months! i know that i may complain a lot about how painful it is to be pregnant, but i know for sure that i'm going to miss feeling her kick in my tummy.

i find myself getting anxious about everything baby related. her room, labor and delivery, and just how much my life is going to change when she's born. Will i be sleep deprived? How will my relationship with my husband change? How am i going to manage still breastfeeding and having to go to work and school? Gosh i could go on and on. There's just a lot of questions going through this brain of mine.

i'm sure when i finally get to hold her that all of my worries will fade away. and we'll just take it one day at a time...:)

Can't wait to see u...

32 Weeks

Weight: 164 lbs
Blood Pressure: 119/78

Gosh i'm getting as fat as a cow! i even have stretch marks on my legs! i cannot believe that i've gained 30 lbs. I've been gaining 10 pounds a month. Now i know i'm eating way too much.

I had another appt today, with tons of questions in hand. I'm obviously getting anxious to see my baby.

She's been moving around a lot. I can sometimes catch my stomach all disfigured coz she has her leg pushing out on it. I wonder what she's doing in there.

I can't believe that in 8 weeks i'm gonna see my daughter. I can't wait. Until then, i'll just see her in my dreams.

Baby Shower




I've been looking forward to this party ever since i got pregnant. I planned that i was gonna be a huge bash, and it sure was. We tried to throw my birthday in there so that we could just do it all at once, but i don't think they read down the invitation that far. But that was okay with me. When u get older, birthdays really are not that important anymore.

Unfortunately, i had to work that day. I kept calling my sister and my sister-in-law to make sure everything was going according to plan. It was driving me crazy that i couldn't be home to coordinate everything. When i got off and finally got home, i was so tired. If it wasn't for the baby shower, i would have just wanted to shower and go to sleep. When i got home, there was already a couple of people there. So i had to get upstairs and fix myself up.

Everything was going smoothly, until the games started. Some people were getting a little too competitive, taking prizes that weren't for that particular game, and just out right stealing prizes that weren't even theirs. It was a mess! But regardless, everyone had fun.

There were tons of gifts there for Stailynne. Thanks to all of you that could make it.
