16th week (4mos)

August 5th, 2008

My Weight: 58.4

My Blood pressure:96/54

Anak: 10.2 cm

Welcome 2nd tri-mester!!!! I have survived the first critical 3mos. But after my check up i became so worried about my blood pressure at the moment, it went down again after a month. Now i dont know what shall i do. I gained a little bit of weight. I still have morning sickness but i guess im feeling better little by little. My pregnancy symptoms should be gone soon, i should be feeling better and normal again. My OB was on vacation, so another OB attended us, she was also ok and funny but she didnt make pics for us =(, the baby was not moving that much, A was waiting for it until the doc talk to the baby and ask to kick for his papa, funny cause the baby kicked, A was really happy to see our baby healthy and moving a lot.  My tummy looked really crowded now, the baby is growing everyday.

12th week (3mos)

July 1st, 2008

My Weight: 58.0

My Blood pressure:109/60

Anak: 6.4 cm

After a  month i was able to improve my blood pressure by taking iron vitamins. Surprisingly i lost weight compared last month, the doctor said its normal to loose weight for the first 3mos since im experiencing pregnancy symptoms like nausea and vomitting. I cant literally eat at the moment, im always throwing up and my sense of smell is so sensitive. I cant even take the scent of A’s mouthwash. I hate the scent of cooked meat, toast bread, the taste of cheese, milk and even chocolates. Im satisfied eating bland crackers and water, its boring =(. Thank god all tests were negative, the baby is fit and healthy.  Its really amazing how this baby grow so fast. Last month it looks like just worm, now its looks more like a baby. A really cute gummy bear. The OB took 3 pics, so nice of him. He also took a pic of the babys thumb. A and me almost cried when we saw the baby jumping up and down swimming around my tummy, i cant explain the happiness we felt.

8th week (2mos)

June 3rd, 2008

My Weight: 59,5

My Blood pressure: 94/51

Anak: 2.5 cm

Today is my first OB appointment. The doctor said my bp was a bit low, but since its just the start of my pregnancy i should not worry about it. I still have enough time to work on it. Anak had his first picture, looks like a worm =P, and as big as a kidney bean. He suggested to drink strawberry and raspberry leaf tea for my nausea. They took some blood for several testing like RH status and anti body screening, Hepatitis B, Chlamydia trachomatis-antigen, Toxoplasmose. I cant imagine that i need all of these tests for this pregnancy.

our home part 2

May 12th, 2008

This is the 2nd part of what i will miss about our flat:

Döner shop -this is one of my faves snack, it may not be healthy but delicious. The Döner from our place so far is the most yummy ive ever taste compared to other shop we tried…haaay i will miss you really!!!

Asia imbiss - being an asian it is also nice when you can have authentic asian food in a snap, its a bit fatty but taste good also.

by the way, heres the update of our renovation. we have removed part of the wallpaper,at the moment the blue room is now white..will take a new pic when possble. The left room/side will be our living room,its used to be the bedroom and vice versa.

yes we’re moving out!!!

May 9th, 2008

Yes, we are moving out from our rented flat to a rent “free”Apartment =P. I will miss a lot of things:

The Flat itself - Our living room where we eat dinner in front of our TV while watching “The Simpsons”, the Kitchen where i do a lot of experiments, we are bringing it with us though..i mean the cupboards and cabinets, appliances etc heheh, the Bedroom where we share our snors and dreams everynight, the Bathroom where we spend our freshest time together, the 2 boxrooms that served as our storage rooms with full of knick knacks.

The Neighborhood - quiet and friendly for such an Alien like me, esp the cute Kois across, they  are so colorful and overweight heheeh

Pizzapoint pizzeria -where we always order my favorite FishNFun flavored pizza yumm yumm esp the tuna,crab,squid toppings i love it.

Eis cafe- nearby for their delicious citron,engelsblau,melon flavored ice cream haaaay.

Edeka- a  bike away supermarket, whenever i need an emergency ingredients for my experiments.

Bus Station -3min walk from our house, so practical, although good for one way direction only.

Our Landlord- Whom we call lolo as A and me’s secret name for him hehehe, he is nice and funny at times.

Rhodos - 3min walk Greek resto when meat cravings attacks, they also have game place downstairs where you can pay billiards,darts,arcade and have cocktails and beer.

Kaufland, Mcdo,Aldi - are just few blocks away from our place.

Segmüller - a big furniture mall and Lidl on the side for drop bys

Cafe 61 - My first cafe tour when i arrived here in DE, they have good ham and cheese sandwich also.

Bauerlipp-  where we had sparagus and harvested strawberries last year with my friend Ana, the stawberryfield is just across the main street, and thats where i saw a jumbo strawberries compared to our strawberries backhome.

Our Cherry tree - i love our cherry tree, it reminds me of our local Aratiles tree back home last summer we had so much fun harvesting cherries, i will miss time watching and observing the changes of this tree accdg to the season.

Church and its bell -  The catholic church is just literally at the back of hour house. I hear the bell rings everyday at 8am and at 1030 every sunday, its served as our 3rd alam clock which is really effective other than 2clocks we have.

Salon - 5min walk where A always had his hairdone, and where i had my first and i guess my last because its so expensive, i cant really take it though theyre good and friendly.

haaay i dont know whatelse but im sure theres more…i will really miss this city =(

loud mind

April 23rd, 2008

i was awake at 5am today, i cant sleep anymore. to avoid A from waking up, went to the living room and turned on my pc. Surfed the net and blog a bit. i dont know, i have so much in my brain, its so loud that i cant sleep. lately weve been very busy abt the “move out”, am i worried?perhaps, im always worried abt things. i miss my parents, i miss my younger brother….i really miss them, i dont want to call them. their voices will make it more painful, i cant look at their pictures…i just cant. i am homesick =( any cure???

Surprise me, baby

April 11th, 2008

As i wanted to give A a big surprise, i decided to have a tabletop grill dinner last night. It s been 3mos since we had Raclette, it was new year celebration with sil and A’s bestfriend, of course my cravings again. So i had a short visit to the supermarket and bought several missing ingredients.

 

Meat: Bacon, Pork and Chicken Sausage, Chicken and Turkey breast fillets, Salami
Vegetables: Paprika, Carotts, Mushrooms
Salad and Side dish: Cucumber salad and Chicken Macaroni Salad, Garlic Bread
Cheese: Gouda and Mozarella cheese

 When A arrived, and not to spoil the suprise i had to cover his eyes =P. He liked it and i was glad, but after dinner we were both complaining. We were really full felt really heavy, cheese is really heavy. But no regrets we both enjoyed the dinner. Im so happy that A gave me this Raclette as my bday gift, i really like it….
