past 1st trimester

i feel like i am lagging behind my posts on this blog. but then, wala pa namang milestone to talk about. =P i know a lot is happening kay pistoy, lalo na't tapos na ang first trimester... pero wala pa lang physical manifestations sa akin. my bump is getting a little more obvious now though. and one-by-one, my pants are making it to the "to-wear-after-delivery" pile. *sigh*

a few days ago, i thought i felt pistoy moving, but then it's not consistent. it feels like a tennis ball is being rolled softly on my belly, from the inside. most of my mom-friends told me if it's the baby, i will definitely know. so if i'm not sure, then maybe it's not yet pistoy. hehe!

one thing is for sure though, pistoy is moving already!!! last June 15, we went to the doc for a check up and we opted to have an ultrasound dahil nandito si "tito" eibron non. i wasn't expecting to see a big difference. pero from the little ball of mass at 9 weeks, pistoy developed arms and legs in just 5 weeks! at 14 weeks, sumisipa na siya at kumakampay na ng kamay! at one point, eibron and je were looking at her/him on the monitor, and she/he extended her/his arms forward to our direction as if blocking paparazzi. shubez! =P pics to follow, tinatamad pa kong mag-scan eh. hehe!

[Update] Here are the ultrasound images!

Pistoy na naka-side view, and likot-likot!

 

Eto naman parang naka-talikod. sabi ni je, snob daw. hehe!

 at eto, parang nagta-thumbsuck. we thought the white thingy on pistoy's face is the embedded teeth na. 

pero sabi hindi pa daw yon.

 

it's amazing! narinig na rin namin yung heartbeat nya. it's like a "shoosh-shoosh-shoosh" sound. makes us wanna get our own doppler thingy so we could listen to pistoy anytime we want. hehe! kung pwede lang bumili ng sariling ultrasound machine eh, ginawa na namin.

today, i cleared my closet of winter clothes. yeah, just now, halfway through the year. i was busy, bakit ba. =P nilagay ko muna sa isang bag. tinabi ko na rin yung mga pants na hindi ko na masuot. then hinanger ko na yung mga maternity clothes na padala ni mama. ang ku-kyut! gusto ko nang isuot yung iba! i think there's 3-4 that i can use already. yung iba masyadong malaki pa.

hmmm, ano pa ba. i think my morning sickness is gone already. i have a few weird and sudden nausea spells, but generally, i feel so much better. i can get up in the morning and shower without feeling like i'm gonna die any moment after that. =P i haven't had skyflakes in a few days, so that's good.

sa office, between my pre-lunch snack and lunch, i take a tablet of tums to calm my tummy a bit. i think eating often speeds up my stomach's acid secretion, kaya mas mabilis din akong magutom. i've fallen into a routine sa eating schedule ko, kaya i can anticipate when i'm gonna get hungry.

we're past 1st trimester! hello 2nd! =)
