The one with the first visit to OB

We were supposed to meet Dr. Sharon Cruz as recommended by a lot of my officemates, kaya lang 2nd day na sya hindi pumapasok because she had to attend to her husband, so i went to Dr. Carmela Madrigal-Dy who's also good and magaling daw...maganda pa! hehehe.

i went to Health First at 430pm na. then she attended to me at past 5pm na (dami patients eh) she asked me kung when ang first day ng last mens ko. i guessed lang, sabi ko may 29. based on her computation, dapat mga 7 weeks and 4 days na daw si baby. i doubted kasi baka na-delayed lang ako ng june kaya mga july lang sya na-conceive. so she suggested that we have a trans-V ultrasound to know the gestation period of the baby...yikes! baka masakit ha...

so i paid the bill and went straight to the ultrasound room. when i lied down na, may nakikita nako na some device na nilagyan nya ng petroleum jelly. sabi nya, "this might be a little uncomfortable ha..." sabay dahan-dahan nipasok ang device. yikes! uncomfortable nga! pero when i saw the sac of our baby and how little he/she is...di ko na naisip na may device sa loob ko. hehehe.

this is how our baby looks like at 7 weeks...

if you see the tiny white spot inside the black thing...that's our baby! hehe. the black is the sac and the super liit spot is ours. (sorry for resolution at phone image lang yan)


we bought frames for parents and for us ni simon...nasa office desks na namin now.


sabi ni doc, based on the measurements of the sac, the baby is 7 weeks and 1 day! yahoo! and may heartbeat na sya!!! medyo irregular pa nga lang daw kasi nasa developmental stage pa lang sya. they'll do doppler on me at 10 weeks ata. pero we saw the baby moving, yung prang nag-biblink sya kasi gumagalaw. basta, di ko ma-explain! hahaha. super happy kme! doc asked simon to come inside and see the ultrasound. he documented it and videotaped it. yey! saya! confirmed na may baby nga!!! she also checked my ovaries and in place naman daw lahat. i was asked to come back some time in august and have a number of tests and check up ulit. was also given medicines for the baby's development.

after that, we went straight to Sta. Lucia and did some shopping...kung pano namin sasabihin sa mga parents namin. hehehe. we bought small picture frames, infant clothes, and mittens. the mittens are for my bestest friends (mahal na masyado kung lahat may infant clothes eh...haha) the clothes pa pala are 25% off! haha. galing! we also bought shoes for me na walang heels. eh gusto ko pa sana libutin kaya lang ayaw na ni simon at baka mapagod daw ako.


laki ng paa ko!

so we bought a paper bag, photocopied the ultrasound of the baby and framed it, tucked it inside with the clothes and a little note for the grandparents...kunwari galing kay baby! nyahaha. (eh naka-computer pa...wow, marunong na mag-computer ang baby!)

we went first to my parents. ate muna dinner (favorite sopas and fried galunggong...the best!) after the yummy dinner, we gave the gift na. akala pa ng mommy ko may binyag kme na pupuntahan. hihihi. tapos, she read the note muna. when she read "baby tan" tuwang-tuwa na. then they opened the little clothes and they saw the frame. hahaha. tawa ng tawa at napatili si mama. my dad was happy and immediately embraced simon and me. we exchanged hugs and kissed tapos kwentuhan na of how the check-up went and ano pa mga symptoms ko. sabi ko, wala naman masyado, except that i love to eat. yikes! after the tawanan and hulaan what gender the baby will be...we went home na. ang plan talaga is to go home saglit and go straight to simon's parents. kaya lang nagloko na naman si babes and it wont start. kainis! so di namin nasabi pa sa parents ni simon. mamaya na lang ang gimik...pagkagaling office, derecho na kme dun.

in fairness, makapit ang baby Tan ha...kasi for the past month, iam so sure i was so stressed and very malikot kasi dami nirurush pero talagang our baby is holding on to me. haayy! saya! sana tuloy-tuloy na talaga.

oh and another good news! simon has been a talent artist for GMA for almost a year na...not that nagrereklamo kme coz before feeling namin ok kung talent lang sya than regular para he'll have other time for other projects...pero mas ok pa rin ang regular para sa benefits diba? so...magiging regular na sya!!! she talked to the big boss and she immediately agreed naman. today, july 19 ang orientation nya. ang bilis noh?! hehehe. praise God! when it rains, it pours!!!
