I am a mom and I am proud of being one.

Chismosa. Late na chismosa.

My sister semi-confirmed Selena Gomez' pregnancy. Semi because she used the "magical" Filipino word DAW. So being the nosy girl that I am - I am always interested in celebrity pregnancies (and deaths - morbid, I know) - I googled "Selena Gomez Pregnant" and checked the first 3 links that came up but none of them had an official statement from Selena Gomez herself. I then just ended up singing I, I love you like a love song baby! and browsing through The Superficial again after 2 years.

#4. My favorite color is blue. When I got pregnant, though, I suddenly fell in love with the color pink. Now, almost all of my stuff are pink.

Turns out I need to walk A LOT to give birth easily.

I shall start walking tomorrow. But where to go?

I get bored easily so our house is not an option.

The village has a lot of rude people so it also is not part of the options.

I want to go to Greenhills but it's way too far from our house.

Tiendesitas is good but the only way to get there that I know of is via a cab and I am not spending that much money for a cab.

Maybe, Megamall. :)

(Okay, I complained a lot there. So not like a PSI grad.)

I've a problem...

I dunno how to differentiate contractions and Brianna stretching her arms and legs.

Help?

I've uploaded the first of a series of 4D ultrasound pictures...

Excited!

In fourth grade, I got excited over going to Baguio for the first time. I couldn't sleep the night before the trip.

In junior year, I got excited over prom. I couldn't sleep the night before prom.

In third year college, I got excited over thesis defense. I couldn't sleep the night before defense.

Now, I am excited for Jellybean's Brianna Angelica's 4D ultrasound tomorrow morning. I can barely shut my eyes without seeing how my baby would look like.

THIS IS TOO AWESOOOOOOME!

This is way cool...

I can already feel Jellybean's whole arm and legs when she moves.

I really have a person growing inside of me. :)

I've been really thankful lately...

Why?

Because I have a very healthy body (surprisingly) and a very healthy baby girl.

I've heard news about friends being pregnant as well but unfortunately for them, they need to be on bed rest in the duration of their pregnancy. Me? I have the freedom to do whatever I want (just as long as I don't abuse my body and no alcohol and cigarettes).

I'm really thankful.

And I'm praying for my friends who need to stay in bed all the time.

What I like and what I don't like...

I've been craving for doughnuts - Choco Frosted from Dunkin' Donuts to be specific - since they day we knew. What really surprised me are the scents I want and don't want to smell.

1. I used to like this Dolce & Gabana scent but now, it just smells like old lady to me. What's worse is my brother's girlfriend wears that exact same scent. Now, whenever she's here, I just want to throw her out of the house.
2. I feel weirded out by this: I sometimes like the smell of smoke. Smoke as in yosi. Weird, right? No bias and all...
3. I also feel weirded out by this: I don't like the smell of alcohol. Alcohol as in alak. WHATISHAPPENINGTOME?! Alcohol has been running in through my veins for the longest time and I LOVE the smell of post-inuman on a person and now, I can't stand smelling it even for just a second.

Cravings? Not so weird. What I don't like to smell? Damn weird.

She keeps on kicking, kicking, kicking... ☺

Jellybean's been really malikot. Even my OB says she's one helluva energetic baby.

The last time I was in the clinic, when the doctor was about to check her heartbeat with one of those thing-a-ma-jiggys with a speaker on it, she kicked her! ☺ Both of us were, like, "Woah!" when we heard it.

Sometimes when I lie in bed at night, I think I hear a *thump* whenever she kicks.

Okay, right this very minute she's making this weird movement that's making my tummy look weird. Hihi.

This has been my ONLY source of happiness these past couple of days, with all that's happening with me and her dad...

Now, if only someone would get me doughnuts then I'd really, really, really be happy. Nyahahaha.

The biggest announcement will be made this Sunday.

I hope it goes well.

Update. Fo 'real.

It's been a while since I've updated this place... or anyone else for that matter. I've huge news for everyone.

Big news is I'm currently going through one of - if not the biggest change in my life right now.

I admit that I am not yet ready for all these and that my world is spinning a wee bit faster than usual that it's making me want to puke all over the place but I am actually (and surprisingly) excited for this. The maturity. The responsibility. The actual outcome. Everything.

I'm thankful for the support I/we have been getting from the people who knows. It really helps especially during the times I/we don't know what to do. It warms my heart that those people who I thought won't understand actually did and a lot of people are happy for this.

I also want to thank Bry for going through this with me. Thanks for sticking by me. I love you.

Lastly, God, thanks for this wonderful blessing you've bestowed on us. ☺ We love you.

Journey has just started. This will be one helluva ride but I'm glad and I'm thankful I'll be in it with someone who cares.
