Thank God for this another month. May you always guide and protect me, my baby and bebeh and the rest of my loved ones. Amen+

♥ Keesha on her 27th week ♥

Lauriana Akisha's update on her fetal development on her 27th week and still counting. 12 weeks more to go...

So here's an update taken from baby-gaga.com:

Your not-so-tiny-anymore brilliant baby(about 2 pounds and 14.5 inches long!) is slowly rotating in preparation to “head out.” Obviously, this doesn’t happen overnight, but when you start to feel an unfamiliar pressure on your cervix, you’ll know you’ve got a fully flipped baby locked and loaded for the countdown to their birthday! Even now, at the beginning of the third trimester, their little lungs are already capable of breathing air while the pulmonary vascular system can provide sufficient gas exchange and the central nervous system can generally regulate rhythmic breathing as well as their basal body temperature. For what it’s worth, at this point in a healthy pregnancy a premature child (with intensive care) could easily win on the show: “Survivor: The Early Years.”

Kisha on her 26th week

Ever wonder, how my baby's doing by this week. She's on her 26th week now. So that's 13 WEEKS more to go before her arrival, isn't that exciting?! I'm so excited. Yepee!

So here's an update taken from baby-gaga.com:

At long last, your little swimmer can see the womb! Your miracle’s little eyelids have finally separated (they were fused closed previously) and they’re probably having their first moments of sight as you read this (or maybe it already happened while you were brushing your teeth or watching Oprah or something). In addition to seeing their little studio in your belly, they’ve recently acquired the ability to say “yes” and “no” in rudimentary sign language as they can now move their head back and forth.

This is also the time where your little super star’s head hair is starting to grow! A cute little cowlick or two may be springing into position right now, getting ready for years of cute-but-stubborn bed-head. Also, their toenails have grown in and you little raisin continues to slowly pile up fat beneath their still-loose skin.

Most importantly, brain tissue and neurons are all developing at a rapid pace, increasing their (genius-level?) brain activity and will continue to function at accelerated levels for the first seven to eight years of childhood!

House Chores I hate:

* Wiping the windows -> with the heat outside, I can't stand it. Also, due to height-inferiority I need to get myself a stool just to be able to reach the top. It sucks!

* Applying floor wax -> I hate its smell. I hate staying on squat for a long time that when I stand up I get dizzy (I'm anemic).

* Cleaning the yard -> It's really hot outside. I'll just do it if I feel like doing it so don't nag on me.

* Cleaning the bathroom -> Duh?! Depends on the mood.

* Laundry -> particularly handwashing.

I am now tagging: Rosavi, Raphael, Gerald and Shamai

Lucky Baby - all eight (8)

You wouldn't believe this mates, neither do I when I first read this on Yahoo! Odd news.

Name: Hailey Jo Hauer
Birthdate: August 8, 2008
Birth time: 8:08 am
Weight: 8 pounds and 8 ounces

Amazing huh?! That sure made me jealous. But nah, thanks anyway, I don't want my baby Lauriana Akisha to come out premature, nah-uh! No way!

Another thing they didn't notice though was the first letter of the baby's First Name and Last Name, "H".
Well, if you'll count it, "H" is the eigth() letter in the alphabet. Also, if you'll add up the number of letters of her first name, "H-A-I-L-E-Y-J-O", the total is 8 letters. Not sure if that's still a coincidence or merely a fact that her mother gave her. Either way, that kid sure is lucky and I hope she'll be lucky and have a good life.

Yepee! IT'S MY DAY! 08-08-08

Finally, this day arrives, August 08, 2008, or 08-08-08. Whew!

Wow, if given the chance, I would have proposed to GJ long ago and set our wedding on this day and starts at 8:08 p.m. Well, there's no way I can turn back the time now, since it's too late and I wasn't given the chance either. Like duh, why whould I propose to him? He should be the one who'll propose since he's the guy. (Yeah right, I used to act like a guy but that's beyond the point, a'ryt!)

So, today came and I'm still not engaged but I'm still attached and of course head over heels in love with the man whom I so much adore for almost 4 years now and the father of my baby Lauriana Akisha.

Things may have not turn out the way I dreamt them to be. Anyway, the day isn't over yet though, it's just starting, it's still 2:32 am and I have a long way to go and still have more things that I can do to make this day SPECIAL.

Hmmm, hope I can think of ways which I haven't yet done before that I can do today. Of course, with the people I care about around me to help me out. Right guys?! I can't hear ya! Nah, I know they're all there. LOL

So GJ, I'm daring you, what are you gonna do to make this day special for me? Huh?! I dare you guys, make this day special for me, something I'll never ever forget.

REMEMBER: The next 08-08-08 comes a thousand years from now. I won't live that long to make my dreams come true but you guys can still make it special. Thanks.

Special mention to Roger for being the first one to greet me, and Molit, second person to greet, they know it's my day. So as to Gerald for giving me an image I can use for this post. Thanks guys

The Late Update

Sorry guys, for the late news. Been busy, finding a hard time getting my fingers type about this post. Last July 14, 2008, was GJ's birthday and so as my Ultrasound day, the day which we'll be finding out whether this lil angel in me is a boy or a girl. We were so excited to find it out, especially seeing that expression of excitement on GJ's face. Oh, you guys should've seen. Anyway, I know that GJ wanted a boy and that it would be the most beautiful gift he'd receive ever in his life. But of course I told him, whether a boy or a girl as long as it's normal, healthy and complete, that would be more than a gift to me. So as to stop the pressure for the baby.

We went to Ricardo Limso Medical Center for the process, bad thing, the room is closed. Good thing on the other hand, my OB suggested this clinic that offers ultrasound. As I was waiting for my turn, I can feel baby moving inside me, feeling excited too for us to find out its gender. And so, the doctor's apprentice walked me inside the room and instructed me to lie down and feel comfortable and all that. Then the doctor came to me, placed a gel on my tummy, (that was a cold one) and started rubbing this device on my tummy and the monitor in front of me starts to show white images, the xray sort of thing. After a few tries of locating my baby's position inside, there it appeared so clearly to me, the head, legs, feet, hands. It's curled, the way baby's do inside so as its heartbeating, oh so nice. It's like a rhythm, a beautiful melody. If only I could record that. The doctor then asked us if we wanted to know our baby's gender, if you only knew, I could have almost shout at her, "Hell yeah! That's what we're here for, duh?!" Good thing, I'm so happy, I have no time for the bad aura coming out of me. So we simply said, "Yes" with all glee. So the doctor, further delved the device on my tummy I was like, "Hey, you might hurt my baby" because she was like delving it like poking it hard with that device. But knock2, that's a doctor you're cursing, that's what I said to myself and made my mind stop talking nonsense.

All caps, A-N-Y-W-A-Y, back to the real thing. The doctor, poked my tummy even harder to find the right position in order to find out whether it's a cheese burger or a hotdog sandwich, LOL. THEN, she said, that it's a GIRL. Honestly, a pang of disappointment hit me, I sure saw that too on GJ's face, but I know too well that there's no more room for that now, since baby girl, Lauriana Akisha is in me. She's too glad for us to know that shes' a SHE and most especially, she's so far normal and complete. And for that thought, I know we are blessed. It's a gift. I won't let anyone disappoint my baby neither do I let GJ nor myself.

Thank God, my baby is alright and great. The best advance gift both for my birthday and christmas.
