Tales of a Newlywed Couple

Hello everyone! I’m posting here a letter which I sent to my “school”mates yesterday whom I haven’t seen for almost two months now. Nakaka-miss!

hello mcfcs kapamilya,

musta na kau? hay… i really miss u all. but things are really different now. much as i want to go there, my doctor said to rest muna sa bahay esp. now that i’m in my fourth month of pregnancy and crazy things are going on in my body…hehe. well, our top priority now is really our baby… that with God’s blessing, both of us will survive (todo na to!).

hirap din pla talagang magbuntis especially in my case na high risk because of my hypertension and asthma. nakaka-paranoid and i’ve got a lot of fears for the baby inside my womb. sa dami ba naman ng iniinom ko na gamot (like minimum of 10 tablets a day… nakakaloka talaga) plus parang nagiging attractive lalo ata ako sa sakit ngayon. i’ve got allergies, ubo and sipon now for more than a month. kahit antiobiotic di na kayang gamutin ang mga ito. my bp is very bad also. my usual bp is 140/100 and there are times i reached 180/130. takot talaga sa pre-eclampsia. bka 6 months pa lng ilabas na si baby kung di bumaba ang bp ko. wawa naman si baby. kya nga bka next month, i’ll start with steroids na pra in case ma-premature si baby, medyo matibay na lungs nya. hahay.. very risky and at the same time, expensive pregnancy.

but despite all these challenging experiences job and i are encountering right now, we are happy and confident that everything will be ok because we have a good GOD. in these difficult times, we can feel the works of the Great Creator in our lives. we know that HE will never abandon nor forsake us. we continue to trust the Lord.

i’m sharing to you a photo of our baby inside my womb. i had my 3rd ultrasound last thursday and more than 17 weeks old na sya. the good news is, my OB told me na the baby is ok and developing well. i just need to eat ksi im losing weight. di pa klaro ang gender pro most likely daw girl (naku paano na lng ang plano ni job na gawing motorcyle racer ang anak namin…hehehe).

well, before i end this letter.. let me give some few words of wisdom…hehe

1. live a healthy life– eat the right food, exercise, rest well, relax and have a regular check-up with your doctor

2. for single ladies– maghanap na ng boyfriend at mag-asawa na… the younger your body is, the better magbuntis…hehehe (just do the right way.. kasal muna bago buntis)

3. for single ladies again– maghanap ng mabait na asawa at mamahalin kayo ng lubos (pray for the right person… i thank God for my husband, Job is really a blessing and a gift to me)

4. for the boys– please lng, mahalin nyo ang mga partners ninyo at intindihin sila sa oras na sumpungin…hehehe (remember, normal lng sa girls na moody)

5. for the married– i salute you for the love, care, support and respect you give to your partner

6. sa mga nabuntis na ug nanganak– now i know, maka-relate na gyud ko… i admire you for surviving…hehe

pahabol…. advance HAPPY BIRTHDAY to ma’am auring and sir edwin (mga february babies). sir dan, i miss our chikahan portion… i’ll visit you in your house one of these days. lapit na JS Prom…mukhang di ako makaatend…huhuhu. paano na lng aking outfit… Gepoy, wala na tayong award…hehehe.

i’ll be staying in our house na in Mintal starting next week coz the doctor wants to monitor me. mukhang weekly na ata check-up ko. if you like, you can visit me there…pagdala lng mo ug food…hehehe .

cge, sa next chika uli. please continue to pray for us. isama nyo kmi sa devotion ninyo. again, miss you all!!!

hugs and lollipos,

ma’am lizy

If you are used air travel, you should avoid a travel advisor altogether. Usually travel agents are good if you have never been to miami hotel or traveled that frequently. Stay at cheap hotels is better and the reservations in cheap hotels is much more feasible.

Last Thursday (January 24), Job and I went to Davao Doctors Hospital for my regular check-up and third ultrasound. The photo above shows a closer look of our baby inside my womb. He/She is now 17 weeks and 3 days old (gender is not yet clear but my doctor said most likely the baby is a girl... naku paano na lng ang plano ni hubby na gawing motor racer ang anak nya).

It was both a relief and a good news for us to be told that the baby is ok and developing well. I was very worried that something is wrong because ever since I got pregnant, I've been taking lots of medicines (as in minimum of 10 tablets a day) for my hypertension and asthma... such a difficult pregnancy. :(

We are asking for your prayer that everything will be fine for me and the baby. The doctor said so far our baby is alright but he's not that confident with my health status as my blood pressure keeps on rising (usually 140/100 and there are times I reached 180/130). To be honest, I'm really scared and I often get paranoid but I know we have a good GOD. In my heart, I believe that HE will help me and the baby survive. Job and I continue to entrust our lives to the loving hands of our GREAT CREATOR.

After more than a month of hibernating, I’m back with a vengeance! I just hope na this time di ako tamarin sa pag-blog. My sister Chikai keeps telling me to blog. I really want to post stuff here in my site but my body doesn’t cooperate… in short, ako po’y si Dakilang Tamad ngayon, hehe. Ganito ba talaga pag buntis… o ako lng talaga ang tamad?

Most of the time I just stay here in our home ‘coz the doctor told me to rest. Hirap talaga pag high risk pregnancy. Much as I want to do things that I used to do, bawal muna. Well, tiis muna pra kay baby naman at syempre sa kapakanan ko na rin. Kaya ito ako ngayon… sleep, eat, drink Anmum, vitamins and medicines and relax ang drama ko ngayon. With regards sa household chores, tulungan kmi ni hubby. Buti na lng mabait at very patient ang aking Dabs, jackpot talaga ako.

Next time I’ll write here mga pinagdadaanan ko as buntis. Rest muna ako ksi antok na ako…hehe. God bless sa lahat!
