27,28 and more..........

At 27 weeks I feek sooo round =)


28 weeks..........hes starting to become more active...

Ok well I found out I have gestational diabetes =( I have been given advice from a friend who also has it but its also her 2nd time going through it, my first class is the 24th.........I have to admit its taken me time to realize its real... I never wouldve thought that I would have it, No Im not special and Im not someone who feels that I am immune its just that with the grls I always passed the 3hr test... I have fought sooo much to avoid diabetes and to control my cholesterol BEFORE pregnancy... so I thought Id be ok again....Oni did some researching and he told me it was unavoidable....

I know it will be hard but I know this is for him and Im willing to do what it takes...but I know hell be tested for it when hes born and also the fact that Im at risk for a C-Section..........AHHH!!

On a GOOD NOTE: Im getting the hang of his schedule... hes very active in the morning around when I get up.... then he seems to nap for about an hr to 2.... then hes up again he moves alot more! Oni hasnt been able to feel him but lately hes been able to feel him Gena even felt him..I want to be able to know his schedule before hes born, with the grls I learned every time Id get up to use the restroom is when they would also wake up at night...I cant wait I have been on an emotional roller coaster Im MORE moody!! ughh things bug me easily... poor grls..theyve been ok but Akira is open about it and tells me that I have been more moody..I tell her alot of things are going on and just ask her to behave....I wont tell her I have been to the hospital to that now I have GB, I dont want to concern her... she will get nervous and its not a burden I want her to carry.

Im excited that tomorrow we will get a tour of the hospital =) YAY! And now Im also offically in my 3rd trimester.... WOW!!! Never thought Id get there!! I have about 12 weeks left almost 11 because on Tuesday I will be 29 weeks =) OMG!! But funny how 11wks is about 2months and 3weeks but in reality your preg for almost 10mon!! But I feel hell be here before his due date =)Im excited also because in about 2 weeks is my shower!! woohoo! thanks for cking up on me =)

Trip to Triage

Ok sooo yesterday I was instructed to go to Triage at Mary Birch, its a well known hospital in San Diego the main reason isnt because its only for labor and delivery ( all 5 floors ) but also Childrens Hospital is near it incase your baby needs extra attention. Let me start from the beginning:

Around 2:04pm I was getting MANY Braxton Hicks.....and they werent leaving .... so at 2:30 I called my ob left a message with the nurse and waited. I got home and did the normal which is clean take the pups out and so on. I recieved a call from my Dr and she said if I was getting them 4-6 times in an hr to go to the hospital as a precautionary..UGHHHHHHHHH so I started counting........1......2......3....FREAK!! 4! I called Oni since he was still at wk... he came rushing even though I told him I was ok....as we were walking into the hospital I got another as we cked in another as I was explained how to fill out the questionare another! AND as I was put into the room for monitoring ANOTHER!! OK!! they cked my b/p and it was a tad high....119/82 (82 is high) I told the RN I had a "contraction" as I was in the room and she said she wasnt worried and shell reck it... well they hooked me up... I love hearing his heart! You can also hear him kicking and moving haha he was LOUD!

Anywho they did some testing.........painful testing.....ughh dont wanna talk about that....... but Oni held my hand through it he was sooo tired from wk and was also hungry never complained <3.... well I had about 3 within the hr I was there....she talked to the Dr on call and said I could go home! YAY! BUT to be on rest today (thurs) and not to do much...boooo... and what does Oni say " I tell her to just relax but she doesnt listen " um yea thanks babe! Ok I admit its hard to not do anything when : I have the grls the pups and to clean and cook...BUT he never complains when the house isnt spotless and understands the dogs cant be taken out to run around if I dont feel good he does that when he gets home...which is 8pm =(

So I will learn to not do much I did make the beds and mop.......Oni was here so he made sure I was ok I havent had any more B.H contractions.... YAY ME but was told if I had more than 4- 6 in and hr again to go in.... and if I DONT stop being on my feet all the time I will get bed rest....=( So I called in today... and all I need to do is get Gena at 1pm and get the car washed.....cooking is a maybe...

I will upload the 27wk picture soon!! thanks for cking up on me =)

25 / 26 and some testing

So far I feel good, tired ofcourse but like I have mentioned before appetite has been a minimum, a few weekends ago we went to Disneyland, all I ate was

am:decafe coffee 1 cup only
bananna
left over donut Gena picked at.threw away the rest didnt like it

lunch: chicken strips few fries and YUP sprite....

snack: cherries YUM!

pm: tried a burger.... tasted different it was good, but I wasnt super hungry I didnt finish the fries again lol

thats all and we walked ALOT....yes my feet hurt at the end but I DID my best to keep up! we went for Genas bday and with some family (mom sis hubby cousin Iris and her huby and baby Eddie and ofcourse Gena) .

Once I hit about 24-25 weeks this is what happens at the end of the day =(

SWOLLEN FEET


I asked my Dr and as long as my b/p is normal Im ok but MAN its uncomfortable! I elevate my feet at night avoid things with salt (hard but I try) drink tons of water and stay in the shade... I have started to wear sandles more because its hard to use tennis due to 1: tieing the shoe laces and 2: taking them OFF!! LOL yes its hard!


25 WEEKS


My belly is SOOOOOO round!! lol and it gets hard QUICK! its super uncomfortable walking for to long now, its at times painful because little man likes to lay on areas where the nervs get pinched =( and I waddle...sometimes




26 WEEKS



I walked into my 26 week appt...........gained 4lbs!! woohoo I say yay because last time it was 9! they told me I would gain alot during 6 months and up.... ;)

I also was surprised when I was walked into the room look what they handed me!

GLUCOSE TESTING ughhhhhh



I got called today, I FAILED !!!!! =( This normally happens with all my pregnancies but let me tell you IM NERVOUS...........Im dreading the 3hr I cant stand not eating for 3hrs and having to stay in the lab also it makes me sick... like ughhh I wanna vomit!! I hope and PRAY I pass it this time, I always do but its the waiting I cant stand I have an appt Sept 4 at 8:20 .. I have avoided the gestational diabetes all the time..........and I CANT help but to think " how long can I avoid it?" I eat ok, but I do crave starches which is a no no.......PRAY FOR ME! lol

I have bought a few outfits for my little man, sooooo excited! I will be 7months in 2 more weeks!! AHHHHHHHHHH............. Im not ready but yet I am!! I have been planning my shower and I started my baby registry online we will be adding to it this weekend =)

21 and 23 weeks

Where to start..... Oh yea weight gain....:| so far I have gained 21lbs!!!!!:O wth!! My doctor did not seem concerned at all.... She said that during 5-6mths is when I will gain the most.... I'm scared:( when I mentioned this to Oni is was confused.... He even admitted "I don't see you eat alot" and I don't.... Not like some other pregnant women. I eat my breakfast which is normally cereal with 1% milk and I have fruit and yogurt for snacks. I think the reason for the big weight gain is due to not wking out like I use to AND not being on a "diet". I can gain weight QUICKLY if I'm not careful but all I can do is continue to walk everyday for 30min and eat healthy and in moderation.

Oh... Did I mention I'm getting Braxton hicks? Yup she said the more pregnancies you have the sooner you'll feel things.... No wonder when it happens I stop what I'm doing and just breath it's sooooo uncomfortable!!! I wasnt able to load a picture through my phone soo this post has been waiting patiently for me to post it!! SORRY!

HERES A PICTURE OF ME AT 21 WEEKS:





I personally feel BIG but others say I dont, my sister tells me Im small compared to the grls because "Your not as fat as you were when you got pregnant with them..." WHAT!? LOL ok true but still I have a basket ball in my tummy.


I didnt take a picture when I was 22weeks I forgot =( BUT I did remember my 23 week =)




So far Im feeling good.........still getting the tumyy tightening =( and its uncomfortable to lay down so now I have 2 body pillow one in front the second on my back. Also I notice when I sit down it takes me a tad longer to get up especially from my couch and bed =I umm yea sad right?! haha...Im eating good and drinking tons of water and hes ACTIVE!!!!!!!! He loves to kick and move I started to feel him roll a little more like if hes swimming and doing little flips I know soon he wont be able to do that alot...hes growing alot hes about as long as an ear of corn and about a pound or a little more. =) awww my little corn on the cob <3

5 months and more pixs

I turned 5 months last week........I know Im late in posting but its been sooooooooooooooo HOT! lol this is me at 5months and also the picture of our baby boy's ultrasound =)

Its been wonderful so far... The heat has really gotten to me though my ankles have been extremly swollen and Im super bloated. I have cankles! haha Its been super hard to sleep at night I toss and turn and it takes time for me to be in deep sleep and by the time I actually fall asleep its time to wake up =( you can say I have been napping alot at work on my breaks. The baby has been more active and loves to kick me and just let me know hes there the familys response has been AMAZING towards him...more and more I hear that Im really popping out. I feel like I have a big ol basket ball in my tummy haha. My mom and I have started getting things ready for the baby shower little by little were getting items well need like decorations, its so exciting. You know what is soooo funny?? I CANT SEE MY TOES!!!! I can barely tie my shoes haha I have to sortof place my ankle on my thigh not sure if I make any sense? I still walk for 30min on my breaks but by the time I come back my feet ache my hands are swollen and my ankles start swelling also... water has been a total must but I feel like its never enough come on I drink 60oz of water! Im counting down the months until our little man is here....4more!! Its been so quick! I feel like I just wrote down that we found out were pregnant!!

Thanks for reading! =)

It's a .....

Ok ok so I'm late on telling u I'm sure u already know! It a boy!!!! Let me start from the morning of...

Wednesday morning I had an appointment for my ultrasound.. It was me Gena and Oni (akira was at her dads but she made it clear she wished she could be there:(...) I have been really excited and nervous for this day it felt like it was taking FOREVER to get here!! I knew we would need to leave early so I rushed everyone to get up and get going (ofcourse we ate) and I realized I needed to drink tons of water or else I would be rescheduled :( so we went to 7eleven and I got a big ol bottled water and drank mostly all of it , man by the time we got there I sooooo needed to use the restroom!!

I got called in for my ultrasound but prior to that I got a bunch of txts asking if I knew yet!!:) awww ppl from work my sister and my friends were all waiting for me to tell them... Well we walked in the tech cked all if the babys body his heart head limbs and so on... I was amazed I can literally see in details his little hands and feet!!! At one point it was so precious I saw his feet together and they looked perfect.. It's like u were looking at his bottom of his feet and it was detailed:*) his hands and arms looked long to me and he moves ALOT I only feel a few kicks but he was literally moving like he was all hyper...

When she was finally able to tell me what were having she aid " Oh it's a boy" me and Oni both gasped!! I told her "ok don't tease me please make sure please" I'm not going to lie... I started crying..then she turns and says Oh yea this is a boy look!! Omg!! His butt was on the screen (she froze the pix for us to see and she printed it out) and we saw his little long legs and there it was... A boy:*) I couldn't help but tear up more Gena gave Oni a hug and said " now u have ur boy daddy"!! See before we got there she told us she wanted a brother so her daddy can have his baby... In her mind she's my and her gandmas (both) baby because she's a girl and her daddys needed a boy so he can have his baby...:) so she was happy to hear she's having a brother...

Once we were done we debated and decided NOT to tell our parents until we see them that day we bought a picture frame for both so we put the babys ultrasound (his profile not the proof it's a boy lol) and on the bottom it said " it's a boy" oh man once we got in the car his mom called asking what were having..... She wasn't happy when he said shell have to wait even my mom called me a "sangrona" she's been waitng for my call at work since 11 and said even ppl at her work were wanting to know!(I use to work there also) but it was worth the wait when we told my mom (she was told first) she beamed and hugged us both she's so happy for us:) see she knew we wanted another baby so he's planned out and they were all prepared the Grls were more unplanned blessings... hell be soo loved and spoiled I soo can already tell!! My mother inlaw was next.... She cried... My father inlaw was in total shock.... He wanted us to also have a boy...

Akira came home on Friday and when I told her she was excites she has a brother from her dads but she say this one she knows will shave better!!! Hahaha.... Both the Grls can't stop talking to my belly and even say good morning and goodnight to him.. He's not even here yet and he's soooooo loved<3 I can't wait to meet him.... his name has been picked out for a while now... It's not different or unique like the girls and our names.... He's named after 2 extremly special ppl in our lives... Ppl who have made a difference and are held dear in our hearts... But it's a secret until he's born... If u already know it it's because I trust u and know you'll keep it hush hush lol.... Thanks for reading!!!

18 and 19 weeks

Lately I feel like Im blowing up....I can feel my tummy growing....it sounds weird I know. Last night I had major insomnia.......it was awful... I went to bed at 10pm and was awake...I couldnt get into a deep enough sleep=( Maybe it was because I napped for 2hrs from 5-7 never again will I be napping so late. I mentioned before about my lack of appetite...well its still there. This weekend Oni bought me some L&L which I love but ate like 1 1/2 pieces of chicken and a few bites of rice and macaroni salad and was done... looked like I didnt even touch it..that day I ate 2 times and honestly felt ok. I started snacking more often even though Im not hungry and so far its ok but I need to admit its hard to gulp..I feel sick eating when I am not hungry but I do it for the baby, I have lost about 2lbs which Im sure I will gain back before my next appt.

Tomorrow we will find out what we are having !! Im soo excited ppl keep asking me what I want..honestly I want a little boy..BUT a little princess would be awesome also.....Oni and I have been wanting this baby for a while now so what ever God gives me is still a blessing..I feel it move everyday! Mainly at night oh man! Last night he/she was having a little party! haha Everyone has their opinion as to what we are having many say boy....some say girl...someone will be proved wrong tomorrow IF the baby lets us see =) Soooooooooo I will post tomorrow and let u know! =)
