I'm finally on my second trimester so the symptoms are finally subsiding. Thank God! I can finally drive myself to appointments or out to go grocery shopping. I don't get dizzy or throw up as much anymore only when I miss a meal or went without eating for too long. It's just that I'm hungry all the time. I don't really mind gaining extra weight because I have a reason to be fat lol but I have to watch what I eat especially my rice intake because I'm prone to gestational diabetes. I went to my first OB appt. last friday and we were able to see the baby. Everything seems to be fine. But I had an appointment about two weeks ago with my primary doctor because of my fast heartbeat. I was given a lot of blood tests...when I say a lot I mean ALOT lol. It all came back abnormal =(. My blood count, liver, cholesterol and thyroid tests came back abnormal. Hopefully it's nothing serious. I'll fine out tomorrow because I have a follow up. It seems that this pregnancy has too many complications. I often pray that the baby and I will come out of this both healthy. I'm mostly worried about my heart because my heart rate is in the 100's. I've never had a heart disease or anything and hopefully this is nothing serious because I heard of people not making delivery because of heart problems. I had two EKGs the last three weeks and it seems like everything is fine and my heart rate is regular with no palpitations, irregularities or tremors except that it's pretty fast. I leave it all to God instead of worrying too much because He knows what's best for me and my family.
The girls are doing better each day. They would constantly mention their dad but I kept telling them Daddy is working so that they have money to buy their toys and their food. Jelynn believes that Rico is in "San Diego" by himself even though I kept telling her daddy's in the ship. Sometimes when they hear Rico's name they would just cry and that just makes me so sad. The older they get the harder it is because they know what's away means. I constantly tell Jelynn to email her dad when she misses him and that seems to work for now. Anyways, Jewelle's turning 3 on Sunday. We really have nothing plan except buy her cake and go out to eat. No party because I don't think I'm up for a party just right now. The grandparents are too busy to plan a party so we're skipping it again this year. I asked her what she wants if she wants a party or not she said no she just wants toys hehehhe so why should I argue lol. Today we went to their Doctor's appt. and since they were good at getting their shots (they had four each lol) will be taking them shopping tomorrow so they won't be afraid going back to the doctor.
The parents are going for vacation to the Philippines living us here for 2 weeks. We were suppose to go with them but since I'm pregnant there are too many precautions and I might get too tired traveling so I opted to just stay here since it's only two weeks anyways. The girls don't want to go without me so they are staying here. I just told them to bring me lots of pasalubong lol. I'm a little jealous but it's okey maybe next time heheh all I wanted to do in the Philippines anyways is to shop lol.
Anywho, I'll go now til my next post. Thank you always for visiting. I leave you with baby J. E's first pic.
