I'll be induce tomorrow!!!!

I went to the OB/Gyn today which is my 38th week and 5th day of pregnancy. They checked my cervix and I am already 5cm dilated!! Woohoo!! They said that since I am already 5cm and almost on my 39th week then they can induce me anytime. They scheduled me tomorrow around 6AM but they told me to be there by 5:30AM. OMG!! This is soooo exciting and scary as well. Imagine, I'll be giving birth and I'll be holding my baby in few hours from now!!!

OK! I need to get ready all the stuff that I have to bring for tomorrow plus I have to go to bed early and get some sleep so that I have strength for the BIG DAY.

Please Lord, guide us and be with us during the labor and delivery.

Zac's baby shower

Woohooo! I had fun with my baby shower. We played 6 different games:

Never say baby game. Each of the guests will get a pacifier necklace once they arrive. No-one is allowed to say the word "baby" during the baby shower. Whoever hear someone say the word baby from a guest, takes the guest's necklace. The guest who collects the most wins the game :)

Guess the chocolate Game
. Each diaper (made of tissue paper) has melted 8 different chocolate bars separately. You need to smell each diaper and guess what's chocolate in it.

Cotton balls Game. You need to scoop cotton balls as much as you can using a spoon within 30 secs. The guest who gets the most cotton balls wins the game.

Guess Mom's Tummy Size Game. They need to guess my belly's size using toilet paper. Each guests needs to pull toilet paper which they believe would fit perfectly around my belly. The one who gets the right size or is the closest to the size wins the game :)

Baby Scrambler. There are 25 baby related item listed in a piece of paper. Guests needs to unscrambled the words to get the right words. The guest who gets the most wins the game :)

Baby Shower Bingo Game. It is like the usual Bingo Game except that what's in the card are pictures of baby related items instead of numbers.

I made baby bunnies out of wash cloths for the baby shower favors and I also made diaper cake. I was glad because almost all the people I invited were there. I am happy for my bay because he got lottssss of gifts :) I feel like he is so loved by the people around me :)

37th week and 5th day

Went to my weekly visit to the OB and I am STILL 4cm :( I have been 4cm for 19 days now. I wish I'll give birth pretty soon! I really want to hold my baby right now :( How come it seems like days are getting slower on the 9th month of pregnancy??

I know that God has a plan and He is the only one knows on when is the right time so I surrender Him everything. But oh my! I am just excited to see my baby :)

Baby Shower Invitation

Last 5th of Dec. . my in-laws and niece decided to plan for my baby shower. I was freaking excited that day. The baby shower will be held at home on Dec. 12th. I was actually thinking of making invitations but since we were running out of time because the baby shower is only 7 days ahead then we don't have any choice but to rush to the store to buy invitations that night. We sent the invitations to my friends and relatives last Tuesday and here is the pic of the invitation.
Oh my! I am so excited for this coming Saturday! :)

Gifts from Ailene

My good Pinay friend Ailene invited me to come over to their house (which is only 4 houses away from ours) and guess what??? She and her hubby gave baby Zac some prezzies :D

37th Week!!! Hoooraayy!!

YAY! My son made it!! He is on 37th week now and considered full term which means he is already fully develop and ready to come out anytime :) I am glad he made it!! I thought he will be born premature because of the strong and frequent contractions I had. God is so good :)

This is what I researched on what's happening during 37th week.

Congratulations — your baby is full term! This means that if your baby arrives now, his lungs should be fully mature and ready to adjust to life outside the womb, even though your due date is still three weeks away.

Your baby weighs 6 1/3 pounds and measures a bit over 19 inches, head to heel like a stalk of Swiss chard. Many babies have a full head of hair at birth, with locks from 1/2 inch to 1 1/2 inches long. But don't be surprised if your baby's hair isn't the same color as yours. Dark-haired couples are sometimes thrown for a loop when their children come out as blonds or redheads, and fair-haired couples have been surprised by Elvis look-alikes. And then, of course, some babies sport only peach fuzz.

Soon ,.,.,,

Morning sickness, cravings, headaches, heartburn, backaches, sleepless nights, tired feeling and contractions are just some of the pregnancy things I had (having some still), but I know everything will be worthy when the time the baby arrives.

Soon, you'll be in my arms and I am sure that I'll be the happiest mom in the world when that time comes.

Soon ,.,, :)

36th week and 5th day

Yesterday I went to the OB for the baby's weekly check-up and guess what??? I am still 4cm. dilated! Oh well! I know it is still early but my concern is, I am afraid that baby Zac is already 8lbs. which I think I'll have a hard time pushing him. Why did I think he is 8lbs. already? I noticed that he gains 2 lbs. every 3 weeks and based on his last ultrasound (Nov. 17th), he already weighs 6.5lbs. Gulp! He is bigger than what a 34 week old baby should be. I don't want to have Cesarean delivery (CS) :( but of course I don't have any choice if CS is the only way on how to get out baby Zac hehe.

My other concern is that I am afraid that they might not give me epidural during delivery. That it might be too late for me to have it because I am already 4cm. I talked to some of my pregnant friends and friends who are mommies already and they told me that the anesthesiologist can still give me epidural til I am 8cm dilated.

I pray and hope that the delivery will turn out good and of course I want baby Zac to be healthy. I hope that there will be no complications for him.
