My BEDREST Journey..
A lot of people ask me about what it’s like to be on bed rest. They have a sister/girlfriend/wife who has just been put on it, and they have no idea what to do. I'm now on my 14th week of bed rest with Baby East (roughly 3mo.s)
The spotting started when i was on my 2nd Tri i was "18weeks" it was only supposed to be for a few days, as a precaution. I was a bit worried about the pregnancy but since everything initially checked out okay I decided to enjoy not having to go out in the hot weather. Then, after a few weeks I was rushed in the hospital and got admitted at the High Risk Pregnancy Unit i got hospitalized for almost a week due to preterm labor i was put on temporary precautionary bed rest in the hospital.
When i got home I was put on full-time no-holds-barred bed rest. I was only allowed to get up to go to the bathroom. I was allowed a five minute shower but only if I sat down on a seat while I cleaned myself. I needed to lay on my side, preferably my left one, at all times. Never on my back, and I wasn’t ever supposed to sit up because that would stress my abdominal muscles. Gravity was a serious issue since I was constantly having continious spotting.
So many people told me, “enjoy the rest, because when the baby comes, you won’t get any.” Anyone who says that has never been on bed rest. While everyone obviously meant well, it did cheer me up. I tried to stay positive. Every little ache and pain was feared to be so much more.
Doctors shouldn’t call it bed “rest.” For me, there was nothing restful about it. I was constantly thinking about my condition. I did hours of research on the Internet about babies and mothers in our situation. I wanted to be prepared for anything (like ill be having a premee baby) there were so many things to prepare for that, it totally messed with my mind.
Pregnant women are a pretty paranoid bunch these days anyway, what with all the things not to eat, do, etc. Throw in a high risk pregnancy and I can guarantee mental breakdowns. I had a lot of them. Even though I had Erik and my family and friends (I was allowed to take visitors), I still felt like I was in solitary confinement. I started to wonder what I could have done differently. I shouldn’t have been outside over Christmas Sales etc.. When you have nothing to do but think? your mind plays terrible tricks on you.
The one thing I never expected was how totally draining bed rest would be. Because all I could do was lay there, I would sleep in small bursts. Thirty minutes here, 45 minutes there. No long stretches, ever, even at night. I became very knowledgeable on the morning/late night television schedule. I had trouble concentrating on everything. I could feel my muscles twitching. My hips and lower back are, I fear, still totally messed up from supporting all my weight in the same position for days on end. I have a pillow top mattress and a memory foam pad so i can sleep well.
I had some really low moments. Times I just wanted to give up. I felt like I was going to crack and I couldn’t do it anymore. It was so hard, the enormity so overwhelming, Thank goodness I have my husband. He never judged me when I was at my most selfish, crying because I was uncomfortable or because I wouldn’t be able to do something. He never threw anything in my face. I never could have made it without him.
Now that i have reached my final pregnancy month looking back from day one of my bed rest seems like a lifetime ago.
I would remind myself, even during my low points, that every day Im on bed rest im just thinking of a healthy and cute Baby East after this memorable journey. That is my biggest advice to all moms on bed rest – KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE PRIZE. Every day is magical! Embrace every pain, because that's the beauty of being a Mother :')
2 more weeks to go and i cant wait to see my "ULTIMATE PRIZE"
Happy Holidays to Everyone! :)

Stressed Out!
I've been so very emotional lately. Very much devastated and the feeling is draining. I know, i shouldnt be thinking and accepting stress rightnow but what can i do? if there is someone dragging you down and pulling off your patience to the maximum level. I can make tiis for my kids YES but this time AROUND? specially w/ my condition "sino ang hindi papalag?" i really cant take it any longer. I need to breathe this OUT to lessen the pain im having.
Thank God my Mom understands me and this time around she's being a Mother not only to me but also to her grand children. I feel so secured.
"Ang hirap ng walang kakampi" feeling left out, "feeling kina-kaya kaya" and played around. I'm timid YES but marunong din naman ako makiradam and i know when to say "Tama na at sobra na"
To end this entry all i can say is that People now a days are smart ass cruel. They really now how to play the game well. And i cant stand it!
Baby East Update
Visited my Ob-gyn yesterday for my ff up check up. Then had some lab test (blood and urine) to double check if everything is okay. Then had my pelvic ultrasound for growth monitoring of Baby East. And thank god my ultrasound result is very much okay. My Ob-gyn is so happy as well.
Baby East gained 500grams in 2weeks time (Thanks to Amino acid and Enfa mama) I think they are the boosters.
The Mommy is a bit teary eyed when i learned that he gained weight already (i told you Baby despite all the negative vibes around us we can still do this just hang in there!) Mommy will take good care of you.
Well in the latter note i still have to stay bed rest until i reach (36-37weeks) if at 35weeks my cervix were safe/fine already Ob said that she'll allow me to go malling so i can buy stuff for my little one already. (but 'still' in wheel chair) and IM EXCITED! I can see the world again in full shot.
All in all im so happy that my Baby East is growing very much healthy.
Thank you Papa God and Padre Pio for listening to all my prayers. My Kids and I love you both so much.

BedRest Pains
Lastnight while having a QTime w/ my son and husband. I had this strange pain in my lower back and i am extremely hurting. I cried while my husband carried me up to changed my position. Super naiyak talaga ako sa mga joint pains and back pains ko kagabi.
Then my husband handed me a glass of water and while drinking he hugged me and touched my tummy sabi nya "kaya mo yan beh relax ka lang.."
So i tried to stay calm and refrain from crying (Oh well my pregnancy hormones were very active lastnight. I'm crying like a baby)
Thanks that Erik is always on my side.
I know that he is not the perfect husband but for whatever its worth for me he is that ONE person God really wants me to have. And im very much thankful of having him now!

Paul Frank Story
It's almost 2weeks now and yes im surviving my BED rest. Thank you lord!
Back, neck, muscle aches name it! I have it! But the good thing is i know my baby will be safe.
So while my condition is like this husband needs to do all the "Mommy Duties" including my favorite grocery shopping. And infairness he knows how to handle things now (ng matipid) he used to buy lots of stuff that is not important. And at times i need to stop him from getting all these JunkFoods etc. yes he's like a 12yr old kid inside a grocery store. Hee! :)
Soo lastnight from work he called me and informed me that he'll be doing our grocery :) Surprisingly lahat ng binili nya tama! Including Eon's food.
Then he handed me this cute iPhone casing... Pasalubong nya daw saakin (haha i never like Paul Frank but now i love him)
Sharing!
(My new casing and my cute wallpaper) Thank you husband for doing all these simple things it really melts my heart. I love you.

My 5th day here at the hospital...
Woke up at around 6am today my RN had my doppler check and vital signs.
Ate my B.Fast at around 8am then had my Betamethasone Steriod Vaccine Shot at my left arm. What Betamethasone can do to my baby? (pls find my research about my steriod shot)
Steroid Injection for Fetal Lung Development
Injections of corticosteroids for fetal lung development has been praised as one of the best advances in fetal medicine in the 90s. Since 1994 the National Institutes for Health and other professional organizations have encouraged their use in promoting the development of fetal lung development in moms who were at risk for preterm labor or birth.
Betamethasone and dexamethasone are the two most commonly used steroids. The average protocol was to give to intramuscular injections (IM) 24 hours apart. Some practitioners also choose to continually repeat the dosages every week until the birth. The injections had to be given 24-48 hours prior to the birth for maximum effect. They were also best used between weeks 24 and 34 gestation.
The use of the steroids provided benefits for the lung development in the premature infants to reduce the risk of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) as well as to reduce the risk of intracranial hemorrhaging and some other potential benefits.

Happy MONDAY!
Maximizing your life
I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.
Romans 12:1
I want to remind you of something that's of critical importance: This is your life!
Your life had a beginning in your mother's womb that was ordained by God, and someday your life will have an end… and God willing, there will be thousands of days in between.
But it's how you live your life over the course of those days that is of utmost importance. Life demands your complete focus on God.
We need to be fully engaged in living our lives for Christ Jesus. In fact, we ought to live in such a way that when we die, the evil one says, "Whew, glad that one's gone!"
Present your body to God for his service. Let it be your foremost goal to make a difference for Christ, and you'll have a life well lived.
THIS IS YOUR LIFE; DON'T MISS WHAT GOD HAS FOR YOU!
God bless all of us...
HAPPY MONDAY EVERYONE
w/ my wacky Husband on our way to work :))
I feel so blessed and very much happy w/ my life THANK you Papa God.

My Random Thoughts
It's 3:39am and crazzzzy im still awake. Slept at around 10pm then woke up at 1:30am to take a pee. Now i'm still alive and kickin' so i just thought of doing this blog nalang.. Oh well papel hihi
Happy that there's this Blogger App for iPhone i can easily update my blogspot time to time. (any hit of the day!) *cheesle*
Uhmm what am i thinking about as of this moment?
1.) I'm so excited to see my Pengi#2
(excited to buy his things too, i feel like a first time mom but more equiped w/ tons of knowledge) Hee! :))
2.) I want to have a vacation w/ my Family (sana kung pwede lang 1week vacay why not) hehe
3.) I'm thankful that my husband loves me so much despite all my crazyness!
(sometimes ako na nahihiya sa pagka demanding ko.But still he supports me. hehe thats the reason why i choose to be w/ this man for the rest of my life)
4.) Thinking of KUMON for my Son Eon will enroll him soon.. (next month maybe. Education is my number priority for my children. My husband and i will do our best to give them the best education they'll be needing.
Ever since i became a Mother my random thoughts continues to grow.. I admit since childhood im a walking question mark. '???' (Hindi ako nawawalan ng tanong) in short im makulit specialy if i want to know something.
Im a worrier too.. Or i only think too much! My Childrens Educ. Future and whatsoever...
Then i realized we just need to keep our faith strong and nothing is impossible! God will save us and shower us with all the unexpected blessings. :') Ive been a witness!
Sooo until next time, Will go back to my dreamland again.
