The end and the beginning
Joe and I went to the perinatologist yesterday. He placed me on the NST Machine (Non stress test machine) for 30 minutes and then did an ultrasound. He checked the baby's weight and size. Apparently, the baby's estimated weight is now 8lbs. and 1 oz.. I also told him that my sugar level seems high last week. So he decided to call my OB and tell her to take the baby out this week. I guess he doesn't want to see me anymore ... hehehee.
So I'm scheduled to have a c-section tomorrow afternoon. The end of our 9 month journey and the beginning of a new life once again.
It will be difficult in the beginning, having 2 kids on D&P (diapers and bottles). But I'm pretty sure it's going to be a lot easier when they are both out of the D&B.

When oh when?
8 days left and it's driving me crazy!
Vince was born 9 days before his due date. I thought this baby will be much earlier than him because it seems that she's bigger.... but nooooo!
I've already requested to work from home starting today since i'm already having a hard time walking and moving around. ON top of that, everybody just keeps staring at me! Going to the subway, in the subway, on the streets. Then at work, people are saying... "Wow! you're still here!" GHEEZ!!! I feel like i'm walking around naked! Ugh!
So, even if being at home is driving me crazy too, I'd rather work from home away from those "insensitive people" and I get to rest. Although sometimes I think it's not a good idea to just not do anything because a lot of people say that if you want to give birth sooner, you should walk a lot. What i'll do is I'll do more household work... the things that I can do anyway. Of course, no lifting, no climbing, no too much bending... ok... what can I do again?!
My husband has been taking Vince to his parents even though I'm not going to work anymore.
I feel bad. I wish I could take care of him. He makes my day better. But it is really hard to carry him now with this heavy-big-belly of mine. He also loves to walk/run around the house and I can't keep up with him especially if my back starts hurting. It is actually more dangerous if he's left with me since I can't keep an eye on him all the time unless he stays in his bedroom all day, which is not good either. Ayayay-yayay!
I'm supposed to go to my doctor today after lunch but i got a voicemessage last night saying that they would like to reschedule my appoointment because my OB is not available today. So it's probably going to be tomorrow. I was actuallly looking forward to seeing my doctor, hoping she would tell me that my cervix has softened and that I started dialating! UGH! Wishful thinking, huh?
Let's just take this one day at a time. Breath...

Countdown: 17 days to go
17 days to go... if I'm on time. I feel really fat, really heavy and tired all day.
I looked at my blog from last year 17 days to go before my due date with Vince . I was already on bed rest. This time around, I am still working. Tonight I have an appointment with the Perinatologist just to check on the baby. On Thursday is my appointment with my OB. By that time I’m already 38 weeks pregnant. With all the uneasiness of this pregnancy, I can’t wait for the baby to come out and at the same time wanting to extend the pregnancy further because I know that it will be the beginning of sleepless nights (hopefully not).
Nevertheless, I am excited to meet my daughter. I’ve bought girly clothes, which I never thought would be so addicting. It’s a good thing I found a place that sells cheap baby clothes! Learning from my experience with Vince, NEVER BUY EXPENSIVE BABY CLOTHES since babies use them for only 2 months and sometimes less.
As for baby girl, she’s still moving a lot. She kicks my ribs and tickles my sides all the time.
Big bother Vince is getting a little bit more stable when he walks.
He responds to people now, waving when you say “hi” or “bye”.
He knows how to throw a tantrum when he wants something!
He’s one smart kid! He would go get his book instead of getting his toys to play. He loves it when people read to him.
He flips the pages on his own.
He loves taking off his socks and shoes.
He hates being stuck in his stroller.
He loves to walk around and be free!
It’s crazy how a lot of people comment on how cute he is and how people react to him. Yesterday, my husband and I went to Costco to buy some stuff. Vince was on the cart, just looking around and baby talking to people like they can understand him. Well, he was also talking to other babies and I think they understand him. Hmm.. Anyway, we passed by this group of men trying to sell new wireless accounts (cell phone, blackberry, etc) and they all said “Hi” to Vince! Some of them said “what a cute kid!” and started talking/playing with him. It was so funny seeing big men trying to talk with a baby! Of course, my husband was so proud that I couldn’t get his attention to help me find something. Hahahahahaha.
This month has always been a busy month and it will just get busier with this baby.

Reading 10zzzz
Vince loves books. He would get one of his Baby Einstein books and give it to you so you can read it to him. Sometimes he would "read" the book himself, and read it out loud... although he's the only one who can understand what he's saying... hehehe.
Last night, I put him to bed with his book. He did not want me to read it for him. Instead, he was going through the pages on his own, then he got tired and fell asleep with his book on his tummy.
I tried removing the book when I saw him sleeping, but as soon as I removed the book he woke up looked at me like saying "what are you doing?", then took the book back and fell asleep. hahahaha! He loved the book so much that he did not want to let it go even while he's sleeping.
The book on the picture was given to him on his birthday by the Swei Family... THANK YOU! He also has other books that we bought him last Christmas... the books of letters, the CATS, DOGS, BABIES, BIRDS, etc.
I think he's going to be a book worm!

Updates...
It's been more than a month since I posted on this blog. I mentioned on my last post that we were going to San Francisco so I'll start my update from there.
The day before we went to San Francisco, Vince' doctor called and said that he had to take antibiotics because he had strep throat. His fever was gone, but he still had to take the medication to get rid of the infection.
We flew early in the morning on February 8th. We took jetblue which had 3 seaters on both sides. It was a good thing that nobody was on the third seat so we had the row to ourselves. Vince slept most of the flight. He was only awake 2 hours out of the 6.5 hours. He was great! When he was awake, we fed him then he played with his toys. We placed him in the middle seat so Joe and I can watch him better.
We had a great time in San Francisco and that's thanks to Joe's relatives (Manay Pura, Manoy Rudy, Ron, Rick, Rosafel, Margie and Neil)!
Here are the pictures: http://ameeh.multiply.com/photos/album/64
February 14th... Valentine's day. Coming back was a nightmare. We took the early flight again. Unfortunately, according to the person who checked us in there were delays in JFK New York International Airport. We thought they were either going to cancel the flight or push back the departure time. But when we arrived at the gate, they started calling people to board the plane!
When we were 30 minutes away from JFK Airport, the pilot said that due to the weather and congestion at JFK, we were diverted to Atlantic City, NJ airport. That is around 3 hour bus ride from New York City. When we landed, the pilot mentioned that they were trying to arrange to get a bus for us to drive us to New York. 2 hours later, they are still trying to get a bus. It's a good thing they bought pizza for the passengers! Domestic flights here in the US only serve peanuts or chips. Joe and I also bought some Jollibee burgers and peach mango pie from San Francisco, so we also ate those. Besides having our own food, we were lucky because we brought enough milk for Vince to last him for 24 hours, enough clothes for Vince to soil on, the person who was supposed to sit on our row gave up his seat and took another empty seat (I think he would rather do that than be with a crying baby on a 6 hour flight... and a delayed flight at that). The only hard part was keeping Vince entertained. At one point, he started getting agitated because he's getting bored and just wanted to walk and crawl around, which he couldn't do.
Anyway, instead of arriving around 4pm, we arrived in New York around 10pm already. We were totall exhausted! On top of that, we got home and the side walk was ice. Joe couldn't shovel because it was too hard. He also had to guide me since I'm pregnant and may slip on the ice.
I was a wreck when I went to work the next day.
Last week, I went to Reston, VA for a meeting with Microsoft. Going there was ok, but coming back was not good. It wasn't as bad as the San Francisco incident but instead of getting home around 9pm, I got home almost midnight.
Now... no more flying for me. I'm going to be 29 weeks pregnant next week. It's getting harder to be seated a long time, it's getting harder to walk, i feel very heavy, this baby moves so much I think she's awake 24x7!
Joe and I will have to start buying some baby stuff for baby #2. It's not a lot because we can use some of Vince's stuff. We do need to buy another crib since Vince is still using his and he won't be moving to a twin bed for another 2 years probably.
I guess that's it for now.

First Time...
This will be Vince's first plane ride and this will be my first time to go to San Francisco.
I'm excited and at the same time I'm dreading to go too. Why???
I'm excited because I want to see San Francisco, but I dread it because i'm not sure how Vince will be during the plane ride.
He also has a fever since last night. It goes down whenever he takes Tylenol. He seems not bothered by it at all. He still plays, smiles, laughs, crawls, eats.
I pray that he'll get better and that the fever doesn't come back tomorrow.
