Remainder of the 1st Trimester

So many things have transpired since I last checked-in here on blogspot. As what is expected, I’ve been very busy causing Mommy to drain her energy and not to be in a good disposition to blog. Here’s some of what has taken place for more than a month since my last blog entry.

First – Mommy’s second sighting of me was made 1 week earlier (15 September) than planned as Mommy needed to see Dr Ng because of excessive vomiting. Poor Mommy wasn’t able to take anything, even water. She would vomit not only once or twice a day, but a couple of times making her very weak and very hungry. Dr Ng gave her medication to ease the vomiting and also issued a medical certificate (MC) to let her rest and stay at home for 1 week.

Second – My existence was informally announced ahead of time also. Thanks to Lola for telling Tita Leomie during one of their conversations at home when Mommy was on her 10^th week with me. Hendrik was also told after.

Third – I had my first trimester screening 2 weeks ago at the National University Hospital (NUH). Dr Ng informed Mommy and Daddy last Saturday during the check-up at the clinic that the result was very fine.  =)

I will be on my 2^nd trimester tomorrow and I hope Mommy will feel way better soon…

Oblivious Brother

Hendrik has witnessed and heard Mommy vomiting a couple of times. He would always ask Lola  why Mommy is always vomiting. Lola and Mommy would answer him back that she is sick. They don’t want to let Hendrik know yet because they know that he will broadcast it to the whole world. One fine example was one night Mommy was resting in the bedroom after an episode of vomiting overheard Hendrik talking to Liam in the living room telling him that Mommy is sick and has vomited. Well, there’s nothing wrong declaring it to everyone, especially our housemates, but Mommy would like it to happen when her pregnancy with me has already been established and the risk for miscarriage has significantly dropped. Mommy had D&C in 2006 and don’t want it to happen again, ever. They would let Hendrik know when I get passed the 3^rd month. Hold on, brother, a couple of more weeks to go and everybody will get to acknowledge me…  =)
