The doctor had to break my water because it never did even if I was already 8cm dilated. Giving birth took only 2 pushes! The labor was the hard part, agree moms? :::

That was fun! So….want to share you’re experience, Bojoy , Dez, Chie, Chat, Lira, Milet and Mitch

I have this really really strong want about getting pregnant again. I mean many of my friends who have children with same age as Ozzy are starting to get pregnant. A baby girl would be nice. But the timing is so bad, Josh is leaving for Norway and anyway he says its not the right time so I have to wait unless I trick him. Hahaha.

It’s fun getting all big and glowing again. As long as I’m not too big I can still wear my old maternity clothes. If not, I can always buy a few new one’s. I just love how we have available trendy stuff for expecting mother’s these days.

By the way, Josh arrived yesterday to surprise me. He said he’ll go diving but in truth, he was on his way home! Sweet! I can’t wait for Saturday, were going on a date. A real date this time with lovely food. What to wear?!

Have you seen this???

It’s a take-home DNA Test! Oh my what will they think of next?!

This DNA Test Kit is sold at $29.95 each. It includes swab(s), a consent form and an envelope. The swab is used to collect DNA samples from the baby, mommy and baby-daddy. After completing the procedure, you then mail the swab(s) to a lab for an additional $119. After 3-5 business days, you can get the result by mail, email or their online service.

Take-home DNA test was already a hit in California, Washington and Oregon since November 2007. And it was released throughout the US (except NY) just last Tuesday.

Thoughts???

There seem to be a substantial amount of ladies getting pregnant lately. In Hollywood, there’s Jessica Alba, Angelina Jolie & 16 year old Jamie Lyn Spears. In the local scene there’s Jennilyn Mercado & Kris Aquino (?) I don’t know if that’s true. And of course, in my blogroll there’s Darlene & Peachy! Congratulations ladies!

It’s not that I want to join the bandwagon but I seem to be touching my tummy a lot these days. I’m missing those months that someone was parking there. There’s was a certain bond that existed between me & my baby. I miss my big, a bit pointy belly. Besides, nowadays I can’t use the phrase, “Can I finish your ice cream, I’m eating for 2 eh!”.

I take offense every time some of my friends discourage me to have another baby this soon. 4 years is the ideal age gap, they say. Well, it’s not as if I can exactly predict when I’m going to have a baby right? That’s up to the big boss upstairs. Even if I take extra precautions to avoid unplanned pregnancy, if I am bound to get pregnant, I will.

Ozzy was an unplanned pregnancy, but a great blessing nonetheless. A life changing blessing actually. Some young couple prolongs having a baby saying they are not ready yet. But when are we ever going to be ready, right? When I was with child, admittedly I was not ready - at all. But I took the challenges one day at a time. Slow & steady. The results? Unexplainable happiness & contentment.

I am not saying that you give birth every year! That’s plain crazy & unhealthy (for babies & moms); all I am saying is if it happens, it happens; if not, then just wait a few more months.

I’m just reminiscing here…
