The Pregnant Diaries 1

My beloved fiance/babydaddy and I had our pre nuptial pictorial today. I spent the previous night at his house so we can get going as early as we can. I brought tons of clothes with me but I only got to wear 3 ensembles because the pictorial was harder to do than I thought. The sun was scorching hot and for someone pregnant every stimulus is twice the impact. But the pictorial went great and we made lots of great pictures so we're really excited to share them with you.

My mom was right, I'm having a harder time being pregnant than when she was pregnant with me and my 2 sisters. I'm always nauseated and I can't tell exactly if I'm hungry or full or just thirsty. My food cravings are driving me crazy because one minute I want santol or mangoes and then the next thing I know they make me throw up. I'm easily fatigued so whenever an idle moment comes and I feel sleepy, I always want to grab the opportunity to doze off.

My first trimester so stressful but whenever I think about the baby that's growing inside me I just think to myself that it's only the first trimester and it will pass. What's important is that I stay healthy and my child stays healthy.

This week has been loaded with wedding preparations. Tomorrow Jai and I still have errands to run. I don't know when I'll be able to just lie in bed all day and take a break from all the stress but I'm really looking forward to it.

Being pregnant and preparing for a wedding isn't as easy as you may think, so I have to say thanks to the people who are supporting me and Jai all the way even though "thanks" just doesn't do it. Jai's family have been nothing but kind, caring, and very supportive to us. Their arms are wide open and I'm lucky to have in-laws who treat me like true family. And how can I forget the most important people in my life who have influenced me to become what I am now.. I am most grateful to my parents. My dad is still so understanding and supportive, and my mom is always there for me whenever I need her and even at times when it seems that I don't. At this point in my life I am enlightened about what goes on behind parents' tough exteriors. I feel so blessed that soon I'll be Jai's wife, right now I'm carrying Jai's baby, and still my mom takes care of me like that baby she carried in her womb 21 years ago.

To Jai, my loving fiance, my best friend, my shoulder to cry on, my private macho dancer, the father of my baby.. I love you. I love you. I love you. I just love you so much.. and thank you for being so good to me and our growing wonderchild.

A Sigh of Relief

I've quit my job.
My baby's health is more important than my career.
I don't know when I'll be coming back to work in a hospital but for now I'm gonna take good care of my growing bundle of joy.

I'M GETTING MARRIED

I can't type here any blog entry that exactly defines how I feel right now. In four weeks I will be a wife and in 8 months I will be a mother. The joy that I feel is indescribable!

Stress

Yessiree i feel so maxed out. My hospital training is wack and it's still ongoing. In fact I just bought 2 printed scrub shirts and 1 pair of scrub pants yesterday for next week's duty at the NICU. I have to make a slideshow/video for my grandparents' 50th wedding anniversary and I haven't even started anything yet. For the past few days I've had no choice but to come home late because it has become mandatory to help with the preparations for the same event which is on the 20th. There are places I should visit just to take photos and shoot videos but I don't even know where to start. And then there's my song number; I haven't even memorized a single kundiman song. And how could I forget about a composition that my aunt wants me to write for reasons I am not even aware of? I'm screwed. I have a feeling I'll be skipping work again pretty soon. This is all too much!

Juggling my work, family, and love life has never been this much of a handful. But I have to say I'm still a lucky, lucky girl; Jai has always been there for me and I'm glad he is because I have no idea what will become of me if he's not around. We fight just like any other couple but you know at the end of the day it all comes down to: He's still the man I love. Actually right now we're working some things out between us. We're not exactly a stepford couple. The oceans have been tough but we're keeping the ship unsinkable.

I should be sleeping by now. It's 2:15 in the morning and the day has just started. I have so many things left to accomplish but how I can I start one thing when the others are just as important? I'm left clueless. I need to get by every waking moment with all this stuff going on and I intend to find out how--and fast!

Just a Thought

One man's trash that is another man's treasure
IS STILL TRASH.

Macro


It's 3:28 in the morning and it's way past my bedtime. Actually I still have work later today but although I'm sure to regret staying up late again I'm thrilled about this new thing that I'm trying out. I was supposed to hit the sack a few hours ago but somehow the urge for taking macro photos just popped into mind. So here I am wide awake, waiting for the sandman to make a U-turn.

Please pardon the noob-ness. :))

Random Thought

A dream wedding isn't important as long as I'll be marrying the man of my dreams.
Someday. ;D
