Archive for Being a lupie mom

It’s been two straight days that I have been seeing it. Someone is browsing through my entries with tags PREGNANCY AND LUPUS.

So, I am guessing here. I have a reader who is pregnant and very much worried because she has a LUPUS or she is married and wants to get pregnant but is worried because of LUPUS.

Well, let me tell you this. Worrying won’t help. Trust your fate to God and if you really believe in HIM, he willl get you through it.

Apprehension

My monthly visitor did not arrive this June. But last May it visited me so I guess I am not PREGNANT.

Remember, hubby went home this May. Though I am sure I am not pregnant I still waited for my monthly visitor for confirmation. Then before I drink coumandin, i did perform a pregnancy test and the result is negative.

Now, I did not get my period this June. My question is WHY? Although I love to get pregnant, but not when I am drinking COUMADIN.

Coumadin again

I hate this med — COUMADIN. Because of its side effect. Not to me but to the unborn just in case you are pregnant and you take it.

Since I gave birth to Anevay, I skip taking it. Even when I am going to Dr. Ino for a check up and the PT INR shows that I am not taking it.

But this past few weeks, I had experienced palpitation and decided to drink it again. Although I already had my period, I still bought a pregnancy kit just to make sure I am not endangering any life.

Last week have been busy for me. As in its the busiest. Starting May 17. Because hubby was able to come home for vacation and that vacation was spent mostly outside the house, taking care of some documents or shopping for his things. I am not complaining though because it was time well spent. Although I wish it was longer.

I would write another entry for his visit.

Right now what I wanted to write about is the most fearful day of my life. That day that have changed a part of me. It made me realize the value of taking care of myself for the sake of my family.

I am trying to think if I am going out for a massage or not.

We just came home from Anevay’s check up inUST. And Anevay is now heavy and I   can now feel it. The last time I talked with hubby I told him that i feel something on my wrist and I suspect it to be CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME. 

But when I went home and carried Anevay, I felt it. Now I am thinking if its CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME or its because ANEVAY is getting HEAVIER. hmm.

Some training

A lot of changes has been taking place in Anevay’s life. She is now starting to develop and slowing developing her personality.

Besides training her to pee and popo in the potty trainer (read : arinola) she is now trained  to eat kalabasa.

Yes, she loves to eat kalabasa. And because of this I bought her feeding set.

I see this feeding set in SM and I really loved this happy moments theme so I bought it.

Anevay is now being fed using the bowl and the spoon. And she drinks water either on the cup or the bowl. But not through her feeding bottles.

First Fear

Due to my LUPUS, my pregnancy and delivery was classified as HIGH RISK.And because I suffered from pre eclampsia, I have to be operated even if I have not feel any contraction.And so it boils down to me and my baby being monitored before and after the delivery.

I guess on my part everything went well but I was worried because I know that my baby might suffer NEO NATAL LUPUS.

Although, according to those I read it was not something to worry about. Because it will go away after six months.

Morning of July 23

God has grant me one of my wishes. That my daughter be born on the day my papa was born.

When I woke up after the operation I have seen both my husband and his brother at my room. I was asking if they have seen my daughter but unfortunately nde pa daw.

Later pa daw ang viewing time. Mga eleven pa daw. Julius was kind enough to accompany my husband the night before.

When it was already 11, both Mahal and Julius left. Both excited to see Baby Jan. (yap, I coined the nickname na Jan from Anevay Jahzara, ayaw na namin ng JOB for obvious reasons)

My Birthing Story

I am back with my birthing story.

One experienced that I would reminisce with a smile.
The week before I gave birth was troublesome for us. It saw me nursing a toothache and sleep has been eluding me. Kaya I am not in the best shape that week. So, we went ahead to UST on a Thursday, that was July 20. We were there around 11, got my urinalysis and Dr. Reliever instructed for an Ultrasound.We headed for the ultrasound kaso ang haba ng pila. Both sa ultrasound and sa cashier. So, nainip na si Doktora and she have to leave daw because she has a class. I showed her the urinalysis and I know it was not good. She told me that according to the sonographer the baby is okay. But I should go to the laboratory and order a 24 hour monitoring of my urine for albumin. After my rheuma check up we headed home.
