A Peek of Our Baby Boy in My Womb

***Original Posting Date: April 22, 2016**

 Sadly - the outcome of Pampanga Women's Ultrasound Center is not as wonderful as In My Womb :( I was expecting to be somehow like that but it turned out not. Here's why...

Last April 15 2016, I decided to have my 4D ultrasound done at Pampanga Women's Ultrasound Center, since also I was also taking a leave that day. We were at Robinsons Starmills (Pampanga) at around 10:55. I registered and was queue 13. When we arrived, the ultrasound has just started according to the assistant, so we just prowled around first while waiting for my turn. Came 11:30, we went back to the clinic and still number 1. Tired of walking, we went to the foodcourt and wait there. While waiting, I thought of processing my passport renewal - so we processed it first (so fast) - read my post I'm Priority.

Passport renewal was done by 1:30PM. We went back to the clinic and check what number was - and yay, number 7! Tic tac tic tac, hours passed by - patients were taking too long before getting accommodated. My husband almost lost his temper - we waited for almost 3 hours before our turn! Too long. I had no choice but to wait - yun lang kasi ang nag iisang ultrasound clinic with 3D/4D :( I can't go back to In My Womb because I want Jay and Jhaydii see baby tummy.

And my turn now - the assistant called me and have me lied on the bed to prepare my session. I waited for about 5 minutes before the scanning began.The OB started the scanning and fast forward to the 3D/4D. She told me that the position of our baby isn't good for a profile shot and that I have less fluid on head part. But she said she'd try. She saved scans of I think 9, but I only was satisfied to the 2 shots. Here it is - he's smiling :D

And here's Jhaydii's shot at In My Womb Mall of Asia compared to Kiehl.

My session took for about 30 minutes. I only had 3D, because baby's position is not good for a 4D. Their 3D costed Php850 and will add Php100 for every picture printed. So I paid a total of Php1,050.00

Now - why I'm not happy and satiated with the result? I compared it to In My Womb. In In My Womb (Mall of Asia), the picture is clearer and the print has a design on it. You'll also not need to wait that long. Also - they accommodate 24 to 32 weeks unlike in Pampanga, you need to be 28th to 30th week pregnant before having the 3D/4D ultrasound. And I also think that in In My womb, the OBs are more than expert to give patients a better and satisfactory still and moving pictures and video. Read my post A Glimpse of What's In My Womb. Yun nga lang it's pricey than in Pampanga - but it's okay if you'd have a very satisfactory result right?

Nevertheless - still was happy because my husband and JD were able to see our baby boy.... So thank you PWUC ;) 10 more weeks!

Maternity Photoshoot Before I Pop!

Last May 19, 2019 - last hurray before summer ends, we went to one of the resorts in Bataan. Besides exposing ourselves to the sun, it also turned to be my maternity shoot! Thanks to my niece's in law for taking me these photos. I was 36 weeks pregnant here. Sharing you the fun of Mama Dhy. Photos were taken by iPone 9 Plus in portrait mode.

Celebrating InayDear’s 60th Birthday

Last June 2, we celebrated InayDear’s 60th birthday in advance. This is to make sure that I can attend to it, my tummy was 37 weeks already during that day. I filed my leave a month earlier than my EDD para nga di agad ako makaanak and to be present in this celebration. Nakisama naman si baby tummy. I didn’t give birth agad, just felt so heavy lang that time kasi ang laki na ng tyan ko. Okay.... Celebration. Inay didn’t want to have any party at all, but we insisted and we already had a plan. We gave Tatay a party so it’s her turn naman. Inay was thinking of the expenses because sabay sabay nga, and I also will be giving birth. Nagshare share naman kami ng mga brothers ko to make it happen. So came June 2 and we held the party emotionally. We had a surprise! Our brother who is in Saudi came home to surprise Inay. He arrived on May 27, stayed in our brother’s home in Sariaya, away from our home in Tiaong. He only appeared talaga nung birthday ni Inay. The party had 20 dances and it was the time when our brother came. Nakakaiyak din naman. We felt how Inay was so happy kissing and hugging our brother as she was crying. Everyone was also crying. Ang saya talaga kapag hindi na i spoil ang sorpresa, very effective and nakaka touch. It also had 20 candles and 20 balloons.

So finally we have a family picture na complete kami. Gonna blow this one up kahit na kung saan saan kami nakatingin hahaha.

So thankful ako to my two brothers who helped me made this celebration a success. Also thank you to Tiya Neneng and Tiya Nympha for the lechon, Ate Ria for the coffee jelly, Ate Neth for the cake and Joice for being the emcee and turned the celebration even more memorable and fun. Also thank you to all the visitors who came to witness as Inay turns 60 years young. We most especially thank God for giving her another healthy life. Thank you God for all your wonderful blessings to my family. Please keep us all safe from harm and sickness. Inay, thank you for everything that you had and have done for us. For doing your best just to provide for our family. I witnessed all your hardships, all your sacrifices that is why at a young age, I dreamed of doing my best to uplift our family's financial condition. Thank you for always backing us up, for supporting our dreams. Thank you for always being there especially now that we have our own families. These words are not enough to express how much we love you. We also would like to apologize for the wrong doings we may had, dala ng kabataan :) Enjoy your life Inay now that you are a senior citizen. Enjoy serving the Lord in all your time. Just be safe all the time, you and tatay.


 Love lots,
