What's Up?

So what happened in the last three months? I guess you could say I've been busy. Busy growing a baby in my belly, that is! Other than that, I haven't been really productive. Yes, I blame pregnancy for that. Before I got pregnant, I had all these projects lined up. Clean the home office, do an inventory of my fridge and pantry, organize the closet and clothes drawer, paint the bed sidetables, garden, read more books, update my blog. My goal was to organize my life in preparation for a baby. But he/she came before I reached that goal. I am not complaining, though. I am happy to be expecting.

I am on my 17th week and I am slowly getting my energy back. There are still times when I find myself falling asleep on the sofa when I intend to read my baby and pregnancy books.At work, I spend half of my break taking a nap. And thanks to my growing appetite, my waist and tummy are expanding. I no longer fit my pre-pregrancy jeans. Although I still have a few shirts that fit me, I can't wear all of my summer dresses and skirts, anymore. I almost cried yesterday when I couldn't fit into my kimono/empire dress that is designed to hide a not-so-flat tummy, anymore. My chest is growing, that I am happy about. But will I ever fit into my old clothes again?

On my next doctor's appointment I'll have an ultrasound and hopefully find out the gender of the baby. I can't wait for this. So tune in for the next update. Hopefully, I'll be able to post one before the baby comes. :)

hi shelly, don't you worry about keeping your house neat and clean in preparation for the baby. believe me, weeks before you give birth, you are going to "nest". if you were like me when i nested, i was almost manic in having our home cleaned! lahat naayos at lahat nalinis! :D

as for the pre-preg clothes fitting you again, if it makes you feel any better, mine still do not fit me :D exercise daw and breastfeeding helps a lot. i did neither so its ultimately my fault hehehe.

take care and good luck on your ultrasound appointment :)

Mia: sana nga maayos at malinis lahat bago lumabas si baby. and sana rin, magfit yung pre-pregnancy clothes ko pagtapos. kasi sayang naman at magastos pa. i am planning to breastfeed. pero ang pag-eexercise isang malaking challenge yan. :)

Don't worry, honey. I'll make sure you fit in to your pre-pregnancy clothes, again. You may hate me for it, but you'll get there. Go rehab!
