*pesky symptoms*
- I've been feeling tired most of the time.
- Morning sickness? nuh-uh. I have morning, afternoon and evening sickness. Not only that, i've been excessively salivating every minute or so and it's quite gross. Plastic bags and tissues are my best friends now.
- Heartburn has been keeping me up at night. Sakit. :(
- My breasts hurt!!
- Veins have started to appear near them.
- I have occasional headaches and dizziness (esp in the evening).
- Uncontrollable weight gain. This early, i'm beginning to look like an elephant. ( But a pretty elephant at that... hihihi.)
Hopefully, some of these pesky symptoms i've been experiencing will soon let up. It has been quite difficult espcially since i've acquired (or so it seems) every pregnancy syptom there is, and more... There are even days when i find myself IN BED ALL DAY... just napping, reading, and napping some more. And i'm just sooo looking forward to feeling more "alive" in the coming weeks...
*cravings and aversions*
My husband had been a little concerned about this part of the pregnancy course, worried that i might ask for something strange and wouldn't be able to satisfy me, but thankfully, nothing like that appealed to my stomach. In fact, I've had more cravings back when i wasn't pregnant! Hahah!
So far, the most extreme i've ever craved for was seafood pasta.... which was gobbled up in less than 3 minutes. I've also asked for leche flan, and Mcfloat, but both ended up in the bin. Fruits are staples in our fridge... ponkans, apples, mangoes, melon and watermelons. Can't have enough of 'em. Give me anything sweet (and cold), i'd surely wolf it down in seconds. Water and juices that i drink now should always be ice-cold. Even my milk.
As for aversions, i hate hate hate the smell of anything cooking. I especially hate smelling anything fried. Yuck! Also, i have quite developed a dislike for beef. Beef dishes were my fave before... but not now. They somehow taste well, different.
*the name game*
This early, we're already thinking of what to name our baby. Right now, it's going to be Sofia Roxanne if it's going to be a girl... I like the name Anika too, but we don't want to burden our child with such a long name so, two names will be enough... But then again, our surname's very short so, we can add another name just to compensate... heheh! We'll have to decide on this soon...
If it's a boy, Jon said that he wants the name (brace yourselves) John Nathan... bwahahaha!!! Hilarious, hun. :p At first, i thought he was joking, but i soon realized he was serious when he said that. Of course i wouldn't let it. Why? U see, my husband's full name is Jonathan... gets? bwahahaha! So, to compromise, i said we'll keep the John, and i added another name... So for the time being, it's Ethan John... side kwento: I dreamt of my late father the other night and in that dream (which felt oh-so-real), i sort of promised him that i'll add his name to remember him by... So, Charles, Charlie or Carlos would have to be somewhere in there...
So, what do u think? :D

welcome to the world of motherhood....you are officially experiencing one of the many rites of passages..hehe
morning sickness is terrible, some women experience it, some are so fortunate enought not to have any problems. i was like you. everything especially anything with beef in it is sickening. i always felt like throwing up most of the time. i hated sunlight, the scent of certain food, i get headaches too..you name it. kala nga nila i was just making it up...but it really was't.
but i tell you it gets better as the months progressed. before you know it you're gobbling down all sorts of food including the ones you first hated.
just give yourself the permission to simply do nothing but sleep and eat and gain weight!. i know it was quite a big transition from the busy, hectic and productive schedule you had.
loved ethan john...
happy eating and sleeping....take care
TIN, i'm wishing for the same thing. but i'm wishing and praying harder for a smooth delivery. :)
YEN, oo nga eh... my mom told me ganto ren daw sha nung naglilihi samen... even suffering from morning sickness days before sha manganak! imagine! i hope di nman ako ganun...
