Baby Boy! Three Months More To Go

Since I found out I was pregnant I always have a feeling that It's going to be a baby boy. Many friends and acquaintances have already made comments about my belly. Trying to guess what gender the unborn fetus is inside of me.

I've always anted a boy, maybe because I just feel like I don't want to be caught up in girl drama. I don't know why, girls use to be fine or me, but when I was on my first trimester, I just have a heavy feeling about putting on any make up and not even care about how I look. I would just put on clothes that I would feel comfortable in and that's it, I'm all set.

We had an ultrasound last week and the doctor who scanned me has confirmed that we were having a boy. I was happy and my husband was excited.

A few months before the ultra sound, I was be a bit apprehensive about it, maybe I am just not wanting to put my hopes too high of a baby boy if the result would end up having a girl. Looking at my round belly, many who tried to guess my baby's gender are just basing on the old wives tales way in determining whether we're having a boy or a girl. Well, old wives tales are never accurate.

Oh well, all I know is that the hard part during the first trimester is over and in the next three months will be an expectation of labors and pains of child bearing. 

We love our baby boy!

Acquaintances Becoming Friends

I was not much in the mood yesterday and stupidly posted it on facebook. Anyhow, I'm over it this morning so I think I can make it through the day and tomorrow. I just thought of posting some fun stuff that we did some weeks ago from our sight seeing trip to Subic when some friends from the US came to visit. They are couple Jordan and Megan Mendez. Here are a few pictures we had with them from their visit:

My hubby and I with my bid belly, I'll be due 1st week of December.

I met Megan back in the States a few years ago, 6 weeks before I came back to the Philippines. She was single then. So when she emailed me some five months ago telling me she wants to come visit and asking if our husbands could meet. I was a bit apprehensive, since I thought I don't know her that much except for she belongs to my team in the zone.

But when we finally met again when w picked them up from the airport, we really had a fun time and we bonded like old sisters. She was interesting to talk with and I learned from her over our late night chats. He husband Jordan was cool too! they stayed in our house for two nights. We don't have overhead showers so hey too a shower using the ladle, rode on jeepneys and buses, ate together with us for breakfast and dinner.

I hope had enjoyed being with us just the same as we enjoyed having them.
