33 weeks pregnant and waiting

It has been a while since I last posted. So much has happened in so little time.

We had our baby shower for Taluli. it was fun and amazing, so grateful for those who came and shared their insights on motherhood and their gifts for the wonderful bubba.

I especially loved the part where the guests will write down their wishes for taluli and I can say my brothers' is the most self absorbed wish of all.



I was rushed to the emergency room last friday, May 2, due to persistent stomach cramping I thought we were ready to go so we grabbed my hospital bag and called my mom to meet us at the hospital and to my relief, baby was fine, I am not in Labor and he is in a position getting ready for birth and I was diagnosed with Urinary Tract Infection. I seriously thought I was going through some initial labor pains. I thought one glass of Coke Zero a day was all innocent and okay when it turned out that it was the culprit! So no more coke zero until baby taluli arrives. I was also asked to do a 48 hour bed rest and a check up with my doctor ASAP.


UTI, as I was told, very common in pregnant women for some reason. So now just to really make sure, I have a Jug of water beside me  that I guzzle on everytime I get up. I also am taking an Antibiotic to get rid of the UTI (Cefuroxime axetil) Zinnat that was prescribed to be safe for me and the baby and some meds to keep the baby hanging on until it's time to go.

I was to attend a breast feeding seminar last saturday May 3, so I am hoping there would be another class close to the day I am to give birth so at least I know what to do before taluli starts to suck (in a good way that is, literaly :) ) for now I have been indulging on youtube video tutorials from Moms who share their post and prenatal journeys and have been picking up so many tips and tricks so i can have an easy way on taking care of this little boy which I am excited to see in the next few days.

I SHALL NOT EAT INSIDE MCDONALDS SUCAT PARANAQUE

Image
Dear Mr. CEO of Mcdonalds (SYMBOL: MCD) Aside from the shrinking serving and very poor service that most of your franchises here have. I have to tell you that Your Sucat, Paranaque Branch suck. Below is the picture of a mosquito infested, poorly interior decorated and oh so messy stinky and very old bathroom, plus the unwashed curtain from pre school days makes this branch of Mcdonalds a sequel of the Twighlight zone. The part that bugged me so much is the Lola Decorations of THAT PLATE in THE WALL. It is old and dead, with over cooked spaghetti even. I just want to put this in your attention as I believe that one experience can kill everybody's Mcdonalds experience.

The trek back to THE VARSITARIAN and some snippets of the filipino culture

Any thomasian know The Varsitarian, I think it's the oldest org paper in the Philippines. What struck me in the front pages though is VATICAN CONFIRMS DELA ROSA UST’s 95th rector to be installed June 10 Funny because I didn't know that aside from The Pope, The Saints and all, The Vatican has a say to U.S.T`s rector. I miss Santo Tomas, the smell of grass in the morning field, the adrenaline in the gym, The Ala Starbucks in P noval and that string of joints in the parameters of that heart of espana. Almers, Cocoys, Ryan J gym, Goldilocks, Pizzahut, Lopez, and that fried chicken place which I forgot. I left Santo Tomas NOT in a heart beat. I had to go through widthrawals because I had an addiction to football at that time. I smell the grass, I drop my bags and drop my course and play. We always had a saying, "Sagabal ang Pag aaral sa Football". How I regret it now. I didnt know anything then so.. The Varsitarian was the first paper I have ever seen my name on. Hahahaha...
