Change is Cool

Along with the many changes in my life and the addition of a new family member is also the birth of a new blog. This blog has been my little sounding board for almost four years and it has served its purpose of being a personal journal.Though I’ve learned to love this blog with all the stories from the mundane to the extraordinary ones, I realized that it’s time to move on, to embrace the changes and let go of the old stuff. Thus, this blog is born. It is still a chronicle of my day to day journey as a mom, wife, daughter, sister and the many roles I portray in this life.

This blog will continue to exist though but it will now be like a history textbook which records all things in the past. We may continue to browse old posts and relive some moments.

Moving forward, you may follow me here:

You'll see more of me on my mom's little space in cyberspace.

Preggy Diaries # 10: Almost There

So it's true that no two pregnancies are the same. While I had a normal and smooth delivery with Alex, I am now about to undergo C-section tomorrow with my second baby. I would have wanted a normal vaginal delivery like my body was built to do so but there were circumstances that didn't allow such. After three ultrasounds, we found out that the baby is footling breech and the risk is high if we opt for normal delivery. I saw some pictures of how it was done normally and it scared the shit out of me so I don't want to even think of giving it a try. Bahala na mangutang ko for C-section.

I really don't know what to expect having to go through the slice of a knife for the first time in my entire life. I'm sure it will be a whole lot different experience. They say, it's painful and the recovery is such a torture notwithstanding the scar on your abdomen. I don't mind the scar at all as I am no supermodel having to worry when wearing a skimpy bikini. Anyway, I am positive that I would be able to pull this through (ako pa?) with the help of prayers from friends and relatives. I know the past nine months has been a rollercoaster ride for me and the baby but I'm totally relieved that it's almost over. The most exciting part though is the revelation of the baby's gender which we're in for a thrill after three ultrasounds. Geez, I can't wait to cradle another mini-ME or mini-Hubby days from now. Alex is also happy to share the same birthdate with the little one. Isn't that wonderful?

So, excuse me while I do some noble act for the world. See you around!
