It’s Alive!!!

March 1, 2011 by Sheila | A B & Me 2 Comments

So I had my first check up a couple of days ago. [I really wanted to write about it as soon as I got home but I’ve been feeling tired and nauseous all the time … ] My friend went with me to the clinic since she knows the doctor. 
When we got there, there were 9 other patients waiting. That’s a good sign, apparently. Because this doctor, she’s very in demand. You come at 5 pm, she’ll be able to check on you by 9 pm. That’s how many patients she gets. So anyway, we waited and played monopoly on iPad. 
Then the assistant called my name. 
Asst: Babymama… babymama…
Me: That’s me, here!!
A: Babymama??
Me: yes …
A: Baby. Mama??!?
Me: yes, that’s me. 
A: You? You are babymama?
Me: YES!
Weird!
So the nurses took my BP, my weight and other important details. Then they did the ultrasound. They couldn’t quite get the image so they used the dildo like thingy and poked my lady parts with it. 

It’s alive!! It has a strong heartbeat too! See the lines? and that tiny tiny speck? Well, that’s the heart. All the other nurses were really happy to hear the heartbeat. I think one of them even cried. Maybe. I imagined myself really getting emotional when I get to see my baby… but, nothing. I smiled like a dork. I was excited. But no tears. I wonder why.

The hubs said that it has a huge head. Well, that’s not the head. Based on my LMP (last menstrual period), my baby should be 8 weeks old. But the ultrasound says its only 7 weeks. I kinda felt bad because this means my baby won’t be born on my sister’s birthday.

I know its so trivial but you know… hormones. I’m just happy that everything is ok. When the doctor called me in, she gave me meds just to make sure that I don’t lose the baby. She says that its better to be very careful since I’m already past my 30’s. Plus I have borderline blood pressure.

I was advised that I could eat everything except: sweets, carbs, fatty food, processed food, shrimps, crabs, squid. Cake, chocolate, ice cream.

Basically eat everything except food. So excuse me while I chew on my pencil.

Can’t wait to get through my first trimester because it really sucks!!   So excited!!

Hey there! I’m a mom of two who loves to crochet. Balancing work and motherhood is crazy, but I handle it with love and humor. With my eldest entering her tween years, the chaos just got a whole lot more interesting!

I’m fueled by coffee and dream of working from home. When I need to chill, I turn to my trusty essential oils. They’re my secret weapon for staying sane in the madness.

Join me for mom life, crochet, and my journey to work from home and retire before life passes me by.

Hello!

Hey there!

I’ve been thinking a lot about the whole “YOLO I’ve been thinking a lot about the whole “YOLO” mindset. It sounds fun — and sometimes it IS harmless. But when we let it guide our decisions without pause… it can turn into a habit of acting first, thinking later. 

This post is just something I made to process that idea. What if we shifted from the YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE to YOU ONLY DIE ONCE? 

It’s not being a buzzkill. It’s about modeling self-control, delayed gratification, and faith in action—even when it’s not popular. 

What do you think: YOLO or YODO?

Ps. I shared more of the story behind this thought over on @threads if you’re curious (same handle!)

You’re really a hard habit to break.
